Trijul Khatri's Review On Delhi Technological University - [DTU], New Delhi

The college accepts JEE MAINS score, and for me, i scored 150 and i opted for this college, because of it's reputation of being one of the top ten in the country.

Engineering Physics is a branch that doesn't perform too well in the placements department, but for those who are interested in the research field, specially in the field of semiconductor electronics, then this branch provides a really good, if not the best chances of getting into a premier masters college overseas.

The college has an active Training and Placement department. Over 100 companies visit the campus for both winter and summer internships in our third year with the stipend varying from five thousand a month all the way up to seventy five thousand a month.

Placements and Job opportunities are really great with over a hundred companies visiting the campus every year. Offers anywhere from three lacks a year to any where up to a crore is made, however such overs are only seen in software and related fields. Placements for the core branches and those based on natural sciences is fairly limited and often one has to settle for a non tech job.

Our college has one big cultural fest every year in the month of feb which lasts for three days. Apart from that we also have a technical fest, in which all the technical societies get to organise events like robo race and hackathons. Also we have events like dandia nigh, freshers and other small celebrations.

The fee structure is really great. When compared to private colleges or even the IIT's, the fee is really nominal. My tuition fee is around seventy five thousand for two semester and the Hostel fee rounds up to fifteen thousand a year. The mess bill comes out to be around three thousand (depends on what you eat).

The college administration, apart from helping the backward classes, also award the top two position holders from a department every semester, which in my mind is a really good incentive for students to perform better in class.

The campus life is a really nice balance of academics and a healthy social environment. The administration is strict, but not so much so as to hinder independent as well as social growth. Extracurricular are great here, with over a hundred societies ranging from debating clubs, social help groups all the way to robotics and unmanned vehicle teams.

The Hostel Rooms are really nice and the only complain i have about them is that we have to change them every year. While we do have to share the room with two other students in the first year, but by the third year of college, we do get a single room. For those who don't get the hostel, there are a lot of good PG's near by at affordable rates.

My interactions with the seniors and alumni has been fairly limited, but otherwise if willing, the seniors are really helpful with not only the academics, but also with placement/internship procedures as well as guidance towards higher studies.

The exam structure is really simple. We have a mid semester exam for twenty marks and an end semester exam for seventy marks. The remaining ten percent is in the teacher's hand and either is given based on a quiz or assignment along with the attendance. Similar structure is followed for the labs.

The admission process was really simple, everything was online and we just had to fill our preference in order and had to wait for our turn (based on merit) and had to pay the fee and submit all the necessary documents to the college administration in order to confirm our admission.

The college faculty is decent in the regard that the senior faculty is really good, but there is a clear shortage of such professors, which is usually met by guest faculty or PHD students, which can be a problem sometimes since they lack is experience.
