If you want to the technical side of the department, be assured, there exists none. So, if anyone is interested in core, stay away from textile. Labs, professors and the department organizations are not good.
But if you have no option -take it for the brand. Study for 2 years, get a decent CGPA. Put in some decent positions of responsibility and extra curriculum and get a non core Day 1 job. If you can do this, the department is great.
You can also try for a department change but for that you will have to work really very hard.
So, the conclusion is:
Interested in core: No textile
Interested in Delhi exposure: Yes textile
Interested in non-core job: Department doesn’t matter. You will get a job with hard work.
Want to learn something as far as engineering is concerned: No textile
Want to learn something about life (as in get some awesome exposure): Yes textile (primarily yes IITD)
Have other options in IITD (except Biotech): No textile
