What should I choose, DTU engineering physics or Thapar University CS?
Having known some people studying in both these institutions, I can say that if you plan to get a job offer, go for CS at Thapar University. If not and are interested in doing research opt for Engineering Physics at DTU.
- Engineering Physics is a field which does not anymore provide a promising opportunity to its aspirants.
- If you go with this choice of branch you might get research opportunities after higher studies.
- Moreover, if you have prioritized DTU, keep in mind that the quality of education and academic career is reducing with every passing year.

- Instead, CS at Thapar University would be an excellent option for building a path for your career.
- This branch is known for its exceptional academics and for the opportunities held out to the students.
- Although it is a batch of almost 570 students in CS you can certainly end up with a 5LPA and above package by the end of your 4th year.

Which is better, CSE at DTU or civil engineering at IIT Roorkee if my inclination is towards CSE?
If you are sure about your interest in CSE, DTU is the best option for you. However, if you are yet to identify your area of interest then go through the following parameters

Overall, if you are not branch-specific and can make up your mind for ECE, then choose DTU. While, if CSE is your pool of interest then go for MNNIT Allahabad. MNNIT has a huge Alumni Network and CS curriculum is good too.
What is the difference between the top 3 colleges of Delhi - DTU, NSIT and IIT Delhi?
Top engineering colleges like IIT Delhi, NSIT, School of Planning and Architecture, Delhi, College of Art, Delhi, and even the famous Faculty of Management Studies have branched out from DCE. Major differences between these Engineering institutes include
- Being the oldest, DTU has the largest alumni base ever more than NSIT and IIT Delhi.
- All three have different statuses; DTU in itself is a university, NSIT is under the umbrella of Delhi University while IIT Delhi is an institution affiliated with the central government.
- The companies visiting these institutes are similar in terms of roles and packages offered with DTU and IIT Delhi students getting offers from companies like McKinsey, Bain, etc. while NSIT students getting offers from Tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft.
- IITians enjoy the brand name that comes attached to their degrees. This brand name is superior to that of DCE.

Which is better IPM course in IIM Indore or B.Tech CS in DTU?
IIM Indore and Delhi Technical University (DTU) are both very good institutes for their respective courses. The better option among the two will be DTU if the student is not interested in either the Management course or a tech course. A close senior of mine got a choice between DTU IT course and IPM course in IIM Indore and he decided to go with It course in DTU because: -
- Placement in DTU is much better than IIM Indore for the past few years.
- The IPM course is for 5 years whereas the IT course is for 4 years.
- Students who want to pursue a master's degree like MS or MBA get a better opportunity and have chances of getting a good job offer.
| Categories | IPM at IIM Indore | B.Tech in CS at DTU |
| Course Fee | 26 lakh | 7.81 lakh |
| Course Duration | 5 years | 4 years |
| Highest CTC | 25-28 LPA | 15-20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 14 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | ICICI Bank, Nestle, Asian Paints, American Express, etc. | Capgemini, Wipro, Infosys, IBM, etc. |
The IPM course now has been converted into a degree course, But still, students usually prefer the 4-year B.Tech course rather than the 5-year long IPM course. If you want to study management after your class 12, then IPM will be a good option for you.
