The institutes NSIT as well as DTU both are tier 1 colleges and among the best engineering colleges of India. Hence, it is quite difficult to say which one is best among MCE at DTU and ICE at NSIT. ICE branch provides opportunities to students in both Hardware and Software whereas MCE is more aligned towards software industries. The students from MCE have ample opportunities in either finance or pure mathematics and programming. The packages that the students get at MCE in DTU is similar to that of ICE at NSIT.

Instrumentation and Control Engineering in NSIT is an older branch than Mathematics and Computing Engineering in DTU. As far as placement of these branches is concerned almost all Tech companies allow both ICE and MCE students to take part in their internship and placement test with a required percentage criteria but that depends upon company to company.

Placement at NSIT is quite good, more than 100 companies visit the campus for placement drive. The average salary offered is around 7-8 LPA. The 2019 placement highlights for DTU show a total of 70 students got placed from the MCE department, whereas the no of offers received was 93. The highest CTC offered to the students of this branch was around 39 LPA.

The coding environment in DTU is great. The co-curricular activities of both the colleges are brilliant as a large no of societies are available for students to pursue their interests and enhance their skills. So, choose the institute based on your subject of choice.
