Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum is comprehensive. However, it hasn't been upgraded since a long time ago. Most placement and internship interviews will require you to prepare outside of the curriculum. The exams are mostly wrapped up in 1 week, and its fairly easy to pass.
Internships Opportunities
Companies like Microsoft, Adobe and Bain come to campus. The stipend ranges from 10K per month to 100000 per month. The roles are usually in tech, product or consulting. Its a 2-3 month tenure right after the 6th semester.
Placement Experience
Students sit for placements in the 7th Semester. The placements are great with companies like Microsoft, Adobe and Facebook coming to campus. The highest package can go up to 80 LPA while the lowest packaged offered in IT was 4.5 LPA.
Fees and Financial Aid
Annual Tuition Fee Year 1:1,35,000 Year 2: 1,50,000 Year 3: 1,58,000 Year 4: 1,65,000 (These are approximate numbers,as per the fee in 2016. The fee has increased a bit since then) This does not include hostel and mess fee. This usually amounted to around 50,000 per annum
Campus Life
Engifest is one of Delhi's biggest college fest, usually held in February. There are over a 100 societies to choose from. The library is huge, so if you like books, that's where you are going to spend most of your time.
Admission
I had to choose between NSUT and DTU. DTU is much more prestigious and has a better campus life. The admission process, in 2016, had 2 stages: JEE Mains and Document Verification. The cutoff for IT in DTU, used to be around 6000 (AIR) to9000 (AIR) in 2016
Faculty
1. Faculty-to-Student Ratio was around 1:50 2. Most faculties are friendly and approachable 3. Ms Seba in the IT department is one of the best professors. 4. Exams are fairly easy to pass. 2 exams every semester.
Night Life
The nightlife is decent. The area outside the campus is a bit shady. Inside the campus you can go to the night canteen. Students usually roam around in campus late at night, with FIFA and Valo going on in hostel rooms. Till 2020, the legend Maggi baba was also present every night. Not sure if he's still there.
