The comparison is relevant for candidates in the JEE Main rank range of approximately 2,000 to 30,000 for Delhi quota seats in CSE and allied branches.
| Parameter | DTU | NSUT | IIIT Delhi |
|---|---|---|---|
| NIRF Engineering Rank 2025 | 30 | 51 | 51 |
| B.Tech Total Fees (4 years) | INR 11.10 Lakhs | INR 10 to 11 Lakhs | INR 18 to 20 Lakhs |
| B.Tech Average CTC 2024-25 | INR 15.75 LPA | INR 17 to 18 LPA | INR 20.69 LPA |
| B.Tech Highest CTC 2024-25 | INR 85 LPA | INR 65 LPA | INR 107 LPA (International) |
| CSE Average CTC 2024-25 | INR 19.85 LPA | INR 20 to 21 LPA | INR 25 to 30 LPA |
| Campus Size | 164 acres | 75 acres | 25 acres |
| Total B.Tech Intake | 2,514 seats | Approx. 2,100 seats | Approx. 400 seats |
| CSE JAC Delhi Closing Rank (Delhi Quota, 2026) | Approx. 9,170 | Approx. 4,000 to 7,000 | Approx. 2,000 to 4,000 |
DTU leads on campus size, alumni network depth, and the breadth of engineering branches on offer. IIIT Delhi records higher CSE and overall placement averages, reflecting its narrower technology-focused intake. NSUT falls between the two on most metrics. All three draw similar recruiters from the technology and consulting sectors.
