Good infrastructure. Sports facilities and placement statistics are excellent.

Placements: In NIT Delhi, I am pursuing B.Tech in CSE. The placement percentage in CSE is 100%, as the number of students is not very high, which is an advantage for placements. The highest package offered to date is 82 LPA, the lowest is around 4–5 LPA, and the average package is around 19 LPA. Top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia recruit students from NIT Delhi. Most students (around 90%) get internships at companies like Microsoft, Accenture, and Visa. Software Engineer is the top role offered.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very impressive, including the hostels, but the mess food is a little disappointing. Wi-Fi is available everywhere, including classrooms, labs, and the library. Ethernet is available in the hostels. The hostel provides all basic amenities such as washrooms, water coolers, air conditioning, and washing machines, all in proper working condition. Although the mess food is disappointing. There are canteens on campus that serve good-quality food. Campus also has a health center, a well-equipped gym, and excellent sports facilities. Students are receiving training from coaches in each sport.

Faculty: Teachers are GATE-qualified and very knowledgeable. Their teaching methods are also impressive. The course curriculum is relevant and is updated regularly according to industry demands. Students build projects with the guidance of professors. The semester exams are easy to pass, and most students clear them. Although some get backlogs in one or two subjects. If you attend all lectures attentively, you can easily score an SGPA of 8 or above.

Other: I chose this course because it is the best option according to my JEE rank. The course is well-designed, but project guidance can be improved, as teachers assign projects. Students have to complete most of the work on their own. Many events are organized regularly by different clubs. The campus crowd is small but sufficient to enjoy college life. The location is not very good, but many scholarships are available for students.

Perfection does not need any review of placements.

Placements: As you know, NIT Delhi is one of the fastest-growing NITs in India. So, as the growing speed of their placement rate is also increasing year by year across all departments. Its placement rate reached 100 percent in the last few years. In the CSE department, there is 100 percent placement rate in 2025, with 58LPA the highest and 18.27 LPA the average package.

Infrastructure: There is an issue for boys that their hostels are 6 km away from the college, which is why many students are not enjoying their campus life efficiently. Food quality is extraordinary. All classes have a separate Wi-Fi system and all labs have an individual system for each student.

Faculty: There are so many teachers who are knowledgeable and helpful for us in all our activities. All teachers teach us like a beginner, and they give relevant knowledge to us and make difficult exam papers so that we can analyze our problem-solving capability very efficiently.

Other: I chose this course because I think it was the best choice according to my rank in JEE Main. I wish to add other programming languages to my curriculum. There are several activities held in college, like sports, events, Zeal, fests, etc.

The college is decent for placements.

Placements: Close to 100% of students get placed in the Computer Science course. Top companies come to hire, including Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, BlackRock, TCS, and many more. The college also provides internship assistance, like Amazon ML School. Mainly SDE roles are offered.

Infrastructure: As of 2025, a lot of construction is going on, eventually trying to get better. The infrastructure at present is standard. Libraries and labs have Wi-Fi. Classrooms have air conditioning. Mess quality has improved over time, and the canteen has decent food, only vegetarian.

Faculty: The college has a specific criteria for CGPA. So the average might be lower compared to other colleges, but companies come to hire as they understand the criteria. Faculty is decent for core subjects. Semester exams have an average pattern, and the average CGPA is 6.5+.

NIT Delhi decoded easily.

Placements: The placement scenario of my college is far better than that of other colleges, and the percentage of students who are placed is around 90 percent. The highest package is 50 LPA, and the average is 8 LPA. The top companies come to this college because it is a government institution.

Infrastructure: The best infrastructure with good campus life, having good facilities, and not only this, but also the campus provided me the opportunity to explore many things. The labs are air-conditioned and the college is giving Wi-Fi, and most importantly, the mess and canteen are far better.

Faculty: The teachers are better not the best, but the most talented people from a good college, having so much experience in teaching, teach us the best possible course. The semester exams are difficult, but you can pass them easily and clear them because if you studied hard, you can.

A brief of the NIT Delhi.

Placements: Almost all the ECE students are placed well in both core and technical areas. The average package is 10-12 LPA. The recruiting companies are Microsoft, Samsung, Wipro and more. Some students are placed in the same company where they intern. Many tech companies are also coming for only the CSE branch.

Infrastructure: The college is under construction, so sometimes it does not feel that comfortable. But the new hostel is awesome, where the LAN facilities are also available rather than Wi-Fi. The mess food is not that good. There is also a night canteen. The college provides many sports and gym facilities.

Faculty: Most of the teachers are PhD holders (all experienced) and very humble in nature and supportive. The course curriculum has changed in the last two years to include new subjects like AI, machine learning, etc. There are two exams in the semester, mid sem and end sem.

Other: The events and fests are awesome, which give the full college life vibe.
