Life at DTU

It's a good college and gives you a good exposure. It offers good placements. The college is well known across the country. Being in the capital city , one can grab the opportunity to intern in various start ups and companies.

The curriculum is decent. The 4 coding branches have the best placements and course structure. These brances are Computer Science, Information Technology, Software Engineering and Mathematics and Computing engineering.

Yes, DTU provides on campus internship placements. But these opportunities are limited. So most students apply for internships off campus. With the brand name of college, it wouldn't be much trouble finding the internship of your choice.

The placements at DTU are at par with the IITs. The placement body is lead by students. Every year many companies visit the campus. The coding branches are the first to get placed and bag the highest packages. Other core branches have placements but the pay offered to them is a bit low. Branches like ENE, EP ,PCT , Biotechnology see the lowest placements.

DTU has a happening campus. The annual cultural fest, Engifest , is held every year around February. It is preceeded by Aahvaan , the sports fest and proceeded by the Tech fest. The college also hosts Freshers party, farewell party.

My fees was around 80000 pa. It is feasible as compared to other colleges. The hostel fees is also quite affordable. Also there are many scholarships available for outstanding students and economically backword students.

I did not avail any such scholarship. Students take student loans from banks. There is scholarship for batch toppers , economically weaker students and ST students. One may avail these scholarships. the college doesn't provide any loan.

There are a lot of extra curricular activities in DTU. There are a number of societies in the college and one may join these as per one's interest. There's is dance society, music society, dramatics society , sports society to name a few.

The hostel infrastructure is quite old and outdated. Students live cramped up in small rooms. This is due to the acute shortage of hostels. Although the hostel fees is quite less. But the living conditions are not that good. The mess food is good.

The alumni network is not that active as of now. Although there is a group on Linkedin by the name of DCE Almaconnect which is quite active and has old and recent alumnis. Every year a get together is hosted in Delhi.

DTU has a semester type exam structure. In a year there are 2 semesters. Making it a total of 8 semesters. It is a credit based system wherein a candidate has to score 30 credits in every semester.

Admissions in DTU are through JEE Mains marks. The admission is through a joint committee by the name of JAC ( Joint Admission Committee). Through JAC Delhi, one can apply for admission to NSIT, DTU , IIITD and IGDTU.

It is decent. Every department has a mix of good and average teachers. But overall the faculty is helpful and is open to teaching beyond classrooms. There is a shortage of teachers in the newer branches.
