If you are genuinely interested in ECE then you should opt for MAIT. Although from the viewpoint of future prospects, NIT ICE is far better than MAIT ECE.

Deciding Factors: 

• ECE is a core engineering discipline and you need to have good skills to secure decent placement opportunities.
• The reputation of the college and brand name matters for placement.
• There are certain advantages to pursuing a course at NSIT. The brand name has its perks. 
• One other advantage of NSIT is that you can choose to study any subjects from any discipline later on in your course as an elective.
• Also, for immediate placement after graduation, NSIT is the ideal option. 

The table below will give you a brief overview of the two options.

If you want a career in ECE, go for MAIT. Otherwise, NSIT ICE is the better alternative. 

You should choose the branch you are more passionate about. If we look at the placement records of COE and IT at DTU and NSIT, they have similar placement stats.

For Core branches, DTU COE is a better alternative than IT at NSIT. But you should not base your decision depending solely on that factor. 

Here are some of the important facts to be considered before applying to any of these colleges.

Student Intake: 

• The DTU had added and increased the number of seats by 221 in the Computer engineering branch. 
• This resulted in an increase in competition level. Therefore, the chances of getting placed in a company of one’s choice are low.

Course Curriculum:

• The course curriculum has been updated at NSIT for all courses. 
• As per the new curriculum, the student would no longer be required to study the nerve-wracking subjects that are not related to their specialization such as ED in the first semester.

Placements: (NSIT IT ~ DTU COE)

The placement records of both DTU and NSIT are almost the same. An average salary of 10 LPA was offered at DTU whereas students at NSIT were given 9 LPA. It is clear that COE has slightly better placements than IT.

Preference Order: (NSIT IT>DTU COE)

• The new curriculum at NSIT is captivating. It is associated with Delhi University, therefore the applicant will have a DU tag as well which is one of the salient features to study at NSIT.
• Going by all the factors mentioned above, the preference order should be, NSIT IT>DTU COE.
