Delhi Technological University ftw!

The curriculum is very relevant. It is mostly about Software Planning, Testing and maintenance for the Software Engineering branch. But, it has all other required cources like DBMS, DSA, OOPS, Machine Learning, etc. Testing and planning subjects come very handy in interviews too.

A lot of companies visit for internship opportunities. Namely, Microsoft, Adobe, Goldman Sachs, Texas Instruments, Expedia, Google, etc. they offer very good stipends as well. Some of them above 1 Lakh + per month. Even 2 lakhs per month too. Apart front his you can apply and work with DTU startup incubator 's startups in a very high pace environment of startups.

Placements are very good depends a lot on your CGPA thougu initially. As companies put up a cutoff for you to get shortlisted. But, regardless I'd say a lot of companies visit the campus and offer very good packages. A bunch of students opt for study abroad or higher studies in India as well. But, most of them get placed.

Total: 2,36,700 Includes charges for academics, student welfare, research, training, exams, and medi-claim. I paid this much amount as fee. To be honest it's not that worth it. But, the exposure you get studying here not just academically but socially, culturally too is worth a shot.

Engifest, Yuvaan, E-Summit, Invictus and Visions all these are the best of their kind. Biggest cultural events across the country. Visions is one of a kind event, which is a 2 day cinematics escapade, featuring the first ever, one and only Video Editing Hackathon boasting participants across the country. And various other competitons and speaker sessions happen throughout this mega event, Visions hostel by Reflect DTU. Apart front this, Engifest is the biggest Cultural Festival of India. It attracts various big names of industry like Shreya Ghoshal, Papon, Sonu Nigam, Siddu Moosewala, Talwinder, Sunidhi Chauhan, Amit Trivedi, etc. Yuvaan is India's biggest Literature and film festival. E-Summit is north India's biggest E-Summit.

Comparision was between DTU, NSUT and IIITD. IIITD is very expensive comparatively and also too cliche. NSUT has similar academic conduct and curriculum. But, I wanted to choose college life as well on top of that. And DTU has provided me with that indeed. Events, societies, hacakthons, speaker sessions happen every other week you can say. And monumental festivals that have a reputation of being biggest in the country like Engifest, Yuvaan, E-Summit, Invictus and Visions.

Software Engineering has very good professors. They are very helpful. The course structure and curriculum is quite new so that's good. Exams are compatively very easy from other branches, but again results are relative. So, that's a bummer sometimes. It's better than absolute marking though. HOD ma'am, Prof Ruchika Malhotra comes in top 2% scientists in the world. She is very supportive.

Night life is crazy. But, sadly for females, there is a curfew after 11 PM. You can't go out side the campus after 10-11 PM but inside you can do whatever you want under some discipline ofc. We have Dominos, Bistro 57, Nescafe, Kitkat Cafe, Hims Cafe, Dosa Plaza, DelTech Cafe(MicMac), Udipi Canteen, Dazzle Dine, Mother Dairy, HPMC and Amul. It is safe to roam around the campus. Outside not much, especially at night.
