Hi, I would just like to ask for coding is ICE in NSUT better or NIT Delhi ECE or Thapar CSE/Business as by the past cutoff my son is getting these colleges and is thinking of ICE in NSUT but NIT has 'NIT' Tag. He just said that in ICE curriculum their are are subjects like DSA, DBMS and else because of which he is leaning towards ICE in NSUT. What would be better overall for him? (you can refer any other college if it is better for him like he wants to pursue coding) {Delhi Domicile, CRL-67728, EWS Rank 9654, ADV CRL - 19488, ADV EWS - 2711}

Ans: Paramveer Sir, NSUT’s ICE offers DSA, DBMS, AI/ML, and Robotics in its curriculum, with 80–85% placement rates (2025) for software roles via Microsoft, Amazon, and Qualcomm, leveraging its interdisciplinary focus on embedded systems and IoT. However, only 30–40% of ICE graduates secure core coding roles, requiring self-driven skill development. NIT Delhi’s ECE provides the NIT brand advantage and 64% placement rate (2024), but its hardware-centric syllabus (VLSI, embedded systems) demands supplemental coding training for IT roles. Thapar’s CSE/Business combines software engineering with business analytics, reporting 90%+ placements in coding roles via TCS, Deloitte, and Amazon, with structured internships in AI/ML and full-stack development.

Recommendation: Prioritize Thapar CSE/Business for direct coding alignment, assured placements, and industry partnerships. If valuing institutional prestige, opt for NIT Delhi ECE but supplement with coding certifications (LeetCode, Coursera). NSUT ICE suits those interested in hardware-software integration but requires proactive skill-building for pure coding roles. For backups, consider IIIT Delhi’s ECE or DTU’s IT for balanced curricula and stronger coding pathways. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
