In my opinion, YMCA is far better.

Yes, It is worth pursuing the IIIT CS branch.

Yes, it is right to pursue a CS branch in any IIIT rather than a core branch in DTU/NSUT/NIT until and unless you are interested in any of the core branches as I am more interested in Industrial engineering so I've chosen it over any other branch.

DCRUST is good to go ahead. But placements depend on you and your skills.

Hello Sourav,Yes you can seek lateral admission directly into second year of engineering after completion of your diploma. Normally Haryana government conducts an entrance exam for this purpose called LEET, but this year due to pandemic this exam is not going to be held and admissions will be dependent on the inter-se-merit of students in the qualifying examination that is your diploma examination. I am attaching a link which will give you all the required information in this regard.
