HIT is among the top engineering colleges in West Bengal, affiliated with MAUKAT. The institute is awarded as the Most Preferred Engineering Institute of 2020.
One of my friends, an alumnus of the college, reviewed that the faculty is excellent. They are highly qualified and carry ample industry experience. Most of them are doctorates and well-known in their field of study.
At his time, the discussions about the facility happened in Macha, the cafeteria of the college. The best professor that he was under was Mr. Nirmaan Ganguly (NG sir). He was the best among all the other professors. Apart from him, the others include Mr. Amitava Hatilal of the electrical department and Mr. Parth sir in the computer science department.
These were the few teachers from the past whom he could recall even after five years of graduating.

Based on my research, I will present some points to support the opinion that I will put by the end of my answer-
IIIT Bangalore is a better choice for an M.Tech CS, based on curriculum, placements, etc. But as far as UG studies are concerned, B.Tech CS at IIIT Delhi is better than iM.Tech CS at IIIT Bangalore.
Placement at Ambedkar University Delhi depends on the course. For courses like MBA, Masters in Economics, the placement statistics are quite good. In recent years the average CTC offered in the placement drive was 7 LPA. Considering the course fee the ROI is great. Some of the major recruiters that visited the campus placement were Zomato, IndiaMart, ITC, Decathlon, etc.

I have a friend from Stella Maris College Chennai. Here is what she told me about the admission process at the institute.
Shortlisted candidates from round-1 are called for an interview. In the interview round, you need to bring all the original certificates. The following are the questions that they generally ask.
The interviewer is usually a faculty member from a particular department in the college. An interview doesn’t guarantee that you will get admission. But most of the interviewed students get selected until and unless there is a valid rejection point.
NL Dalmia does not follow the exact cutoff criteria. The cutoff ranges from 92 to 95% for the general category. The admission process is based on your score in the entrance examination and the interview conducted by the institute. This institute accepts various entrance examinations like XAT, CAT, CMAT, ATMA, etc. for a PGDM program.
The following are the benefits and drawbacks of not having a hostel at FMS, Delhi:

Thus, despite its pros and cons, it is a completely different experience that students should endure during their two wonderful years at FMS.
My friend also got to choose among NIT Calicut, NSIT (NSUT) and DTU last year. He decided to go for NSUT. NSUT has the best placement record out of the three, lagging behind only the top IITs (IIT Delhi, Bombay, Kanpur, Madras, Kharagpur) and BITS Pilani. NSUT is located in the national capital which adds to its list of advantages.
Here is a detailed 2022 placement record for B.Tech at NSUT-

However, do consider the branch that you will be getting at each. CSE is the most preferred branch among Engineering students and recruiters at present.
Thus, based on your personal preferences and the branch offered at each, choose between NIT Calicut, NSUT and DTU. However, personally, I would recommend NSUT if you get a good branch in it.
