Dear Sir
My daughter is getting ECE(VLSI Design and Technology) at Thapar University, ECE at Faculty of Technology, Delhi University and BTech(IT) at Bhagwan Parshuram Institute of Technology.
Pls guide which option is best for her.
Ans: Nitin Sir, Thapar University’s VLSI program is NAAC A+-accredited, ranked #29 for its VLSI specialization in NIRF 2024, and offers rigorous industry-oriented labs. Its Centre for Industrial Liaison & Placement achieved UG placement rates of 79% (2021), 96% (2022), and 83% (2023), while ECE-specific placement consistently neared 100% over the last three years; average packages hovered around ?11.9 LPA. Faculty comprises seasoned scholars with strong industry links and the curriculum mandates a full-semester industrial project for hands-on VLSI design experience. Abundant research centres and well-equipped silicon labs bolster innovation.
Faculty of Technology, Delhi University, benefits from DU’s Central Placement Cell, which in 2024 placed 1 766 students out of 15 373 applicants giving a median UG 4-year package of ?8.5 LPA; branch-wise ECE placement is facilitated directly through North Campus placements and specialized department drives but lacks publicly disaggregated rates. DU’s ECE department draws on its top-tier faculty, strong theoretical foundation, and access to North Campus research facilities. Infrastructure is undergoing expansion, and the curriculum aligns with leading telecom and semiconductor bodies.
BPIT’s B.Tech IT is NBA-accredited, IPU ‘A’ grade, and ranked #182 nationally. Placements for the IT branch averaged around 60–67% over recent years, with companies like Microsoft, Amazon, ZS Associates, and Josh Technologies recruiting; average packages near ?7 LPA. Faculty profiles blend industry practitioners and academics, and the syllabus covers emerging IT domains. Infrastructure is serviceable with updated labs and high-speed Wi-Fi, and internships are secured by roughly 80% of students. Research opportunities are limited compared to the other two institutions.
Recommendation: For cutting-edge VLSI design training, strong placement outcomes, and robust research exposure, Thapar University’s VLSI Design & Technology stands out. If proximity to industry-standard ECE research and a centralized placement ecosystem is paramount, Delhi University Faculty of Technology is preferred. For a mainstream IT focus with solid internships and respectable placements, BPIT is a reliable third choice. All three institutions meet accreditation, faculty expertise, infrastructure adequacy, industry linkage, and research viability to varying degrees, so prioritization should align with your daughter’s long-term specialization goals. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
