If you're aiming for a strong CSE or IT core branch with higher placement stability and coding opportunities, MAIT is the safer, more proven choice.

If you’re passionate about cutting-edge fields like AI, ML, IoT, comfortable with an intensive curriculum, and okay with being part of a newer institution, then USAR could be worth it but only if you're dedicated and flexible.

Hello Aanya

Both USAR and MAIT Delhi are commendable & reputed institutes.

Although new, USAR is a government institute.
Although private, MAIT is 20+ years old institute.

I would still prefer MAIT CSE over USAR as MAIT is reliable and USAR is a newer institute. My many friends study in MAIT and honestly speaking, they are not the happies (due to regrets of not getting DTU, NSUT etc) but they still have hope for a good package.

While your skills matter the most, college also affects it a bit. My one friend has done Class 12th in 2025 and I recommended him the following preference sheet (just telling colleges not branches):

1. USICT
2. MAIT
3. MSIT
4. USAR
5. BVCOE
6. BPIT

and so on.

The final decision is yours and honestly you should ask any friends or seniors who are in these colleges to get a better overview.

Thank You!!!
