In terms of cut-offs, DCRUST seems more competitive than Thapar University. However, placements is what matters.
Thapar University will expose you to some great companies like Amazon, D Shaw, Sandisk, ZS and Deloitte which might not be same with DCRUST. If your pocket is not constrained you should go for Thapar else DCRUST is a good choice considering a comparison between the same engineering branches.

CSE at NSIT is the best option. It is located in the capital hence more exposure for you.

The batch of 2017 saw 138 students from ECE getting placed in reputed companies like Infosys Tech, TCS, Texas Instruments, ST Microelectronics, Nagarro Software, NXP Semiconductors, Click Labs, JP Morgan, Deloitte Consulting and MU Sigma. Companies like MU Sigma, NXP Semiconductors, and Texas Instruments. There is no exact data about the package figures but it is evident that companies like MU Sigma, NXP Semiconductors, and Texas Instruments give decent packages ( ranging 5-7 lacs or even more), whereas mass recruiters like TCS and Infosys give somewhere 4-5 lacs initially.
I hope it helps.
