One of my friends is currently pursuing B.Tech at CIC DU and he applied for MSIT IPU as well. Firstly CIC is not a college and more of an Innovation Centre or Entrepreneurship Cell whereas MSIT is a college that uses the same mechanism procedure.
A brief overview of both institutions are tabulated below:
Categories
MIST IPU
DU CIC
Course Fee
4.69 lakh
40,000
Placement Percentage
70%
30%
Highest CTC
8-10 LPA
-
Average CTC
6-7 LPA
13-15 LPA
The difference lies in the approach of how they educate and guide students.
CIC DU being an innovation hub is focused on different aspects of research, startups, and the linkage to the real-life aspects of the problem and their suitable solution.
It mainly focuses on the practical aspect and encourages knowledge to be used in daily tasks.
They have world-class labs which are better than almost any college. It has a well-developed Robotics lab with 3D printing which stands out.
There is continuous funding from Delhi University for all the research work, startups, projects, and everything.
During summers compulsory internships are said to be done so as to give better exposure to the students for the lying problems.
When compared to other colleges, the syllabus is a lot more than normal colleges. Students have the task of at least 6 projects per semester with learning more than 5 languages and different simulations at a time like Scilab, Matlab, C++, etc.
CIC might not have a placement cell that backs you up with projects and careers but if you work hard independently there, you can definitely secure a job.
