Congratulations Vandana, for securing a very good rank in JEE Mains. You should definitely opt for CSE in IIIT DELHI as it is a super tech university and will serve you better placement and environment to nurture your computer skills. Fill JoSSA as well and fill IIIT Hyderabad CSE too as it will be the best option for you its better than many IITs as well.

If you are a general category you cannot get admission to DTU. But as you have scored well in boards I think you should opt for a partial drop by getting admitted to any of the Delhi University colleges and prepare for the next attempt.

MAM (or AE) branch have around 90 students in their batch. And every year the number of students in this branch are increasing say by 10. Well, getting into DTU is not that difficult. Getting a score of 180+ will be safe for this branch. About placement, I will be honest, out of 90 students only about 7-10 students get placed in automotive companies. 5-8 students get placed in core mechanical companies. About 10-14 students get into non-tech companies. Rest of the students either go for Civil services or higher studies.

Rankings mainly mark colleges based on the Research publications, Research facilities, Placements and college staff. In DTU, students mainly come for placements and a good campus life. Research field is not doing well in DTU. But, if you are a research person, please consider NITs and IIITs a better choice since DTU is mainly the epitome of competitive coding and placement driven students. Even the curriculum has subjects focusing mainly in the industry. Rankings aren't always trustworthy. Infact, most of the times they are fraud, being bias towards the institute which pays more. NIRF is a government organisation, but trust me that doesn't mean that NIRF is trustable.

Law, government entity has to give equal opportunity to each and every student. Because of this, normally speaking, you will find no Public Sector Unit coming for placements in any of the colleges. Many of the PSU's have now taken the safe route of asking candidates to appear for GATE and based on the score in GATE they are called for interview round.
