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.

The NIT diary from ECE branch.

Placements: 56 percent of students got placed from our college. The highest package is 50 LPA and the lowest package is 8 LPA. The top recruiters are Nvidia, Qualcomm, and Intel. Majorly, girls are candidates for internships in Nvidia. The top roles that are offered in our course are chip designer and verification engineer.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is too good compared to other colleges. There is complete availability of Wi-Fi with smart classrooms and a library, where you can access a computer for your personal work. Also, the mess food is good as the standards of NIT, none can even complain about the mess food. There is a dispensary and a complete sports facility, as recently there was an inter-NIT tournament on the outer campus.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified, they have studied from top IITs and NITs, which itself shows their capabilities in the field of education. The curriculum of electronics in B.Tech is just the basics of the electronics world. The exams are to test your knowledge, but in reality, they are just a test of how much you can mug up the things.

Other: I chose this course to become a good electronics engineer. There are 2 major events tech and cultural events, as well as a national scholarship. There are many clothes that allow you to follow your passion.

The next top institute of India.

Placements: In my course, 87.6 percent of students are placed. The highest package is 67 LPA, the lowest is 8 LPA, and the average is around 18 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Microsoft, Nvidia, and Google. Almost 50 percent of students have internships this year. The top roles offered are SDE, Data Scientist, and Business Analyst.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are available for all students who want them. Sports facilities include a football ground, cricket ground, table tennis court, badminton court, and basketball court, along with many indoor sports. Labs are accessible with permission from the authorities. Wi-Fi is available 24/7. All classes have smart boards. The library is small but has enough books, though seating space is limited. In the hostel, a night canteen is available, and medical facilities are accessible day and night.

Faculty: All faculty members have at least a Ph.D. They explain topics well and are highly qualified. They have strong knowledge in their fields and use PPTs and visuals to teach. They are good at solving doubts if asked. The course is well-suited to industry level, though some subjects from other departments are not very relevant. Semester exams are moderately difficult. Around 90 to 95 percent of students pass every year.

Other: I chose this course because it has good potential and supports my career advancement. I wish more trees and greenery, as there is a lot of pollution in Delhi, or that the college authority could provide air purifiers. We have many events and fests in the college. Overall, it has great environment.

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.

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.

I had two valuable years at NIT Delhi.

Placements: NIT Delhi has a great placement record each year. The average salary offered is one of the highest among all NITs. The highest package offered in 2024 was 62 LPA, and the lowest package was 16 LPA. The average package was 17 LPA. Companies like Adobe, Amazon, Microsoft, and Deloitte visited the college for placements.

Infrastructure: At NIT Delhi, construction is undergoing. It has shifted to a permanent campus, and it is a well-furnished campus. All LTs ( lecture theatres) are air-conditioned. Labs are well-equipped and have all the required equipment. Currently, there is only one hostel for boys and one for girls. The other hostel is expected to be complete by August 2025. Sports facilities are good. It has most of the sports courts and grounds.

Faculty: NIT Delhi has one of the best curriculum systems, as the NEP ( new education policy) is implemented here. All faculty members are PhD holders and experienced in their respective fields. Exam patterns are suitable for students. There is not too much pressure for the curriculum.
