  • My B.Tech degree is in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), but I applied to computer-related programs, which was the primary reason for my rejection. Some colleges might have had trouble accepting my application because of this mismatch.
  • I chose this college because it focuses a lot on practical learning and hands-on training. Plus, the campus is nice and public.
  • The admission process consists of the following steps:
    • Applying in the DIT website
    • Once shortlisted, the applicant needs to take an exam for the applied course.
    • Sometimes, if it's a highly competitive course, there might be an interview.
    • And If Applicant passes everything, they will get letter of acceptance
    • I applied for Summer Intake because the course I selected is only offered in the summer semester.
    • The Overall admission process was smooth and took around 1-2 months from application to acceptance.
  • Here's the detailed timeline
    • I applied in the first week of November.
    • I received the invitation for the entrance exam at the end of November.
    • I got my acceptance letter in mid-December.

Faculty

10

  • The faculty-to-student ratio is around 1:10 , so students can get help when they need it.
  • Classes are a mix of theory with hands-on work, which helps a lot for job preparation.
  • Yes, Some teachers even help students find jobs through their personal connections. I really like one professor who makes tough topics simple and teaches with a lot of passion.

  • The campus has good libraries, sports facilities, a cafeteria, and access to medical services.

Second, apply it with your resume/CV. Third interview and confirm the contract and start working.
