What Students Say
Likes
- The overall environment is really nice. As expected from a reputed college like DTU we have many societies/sports etc which engage students on the basis of their interest.
- The professors are supportive and helpful.
- The cultural events held in DTU as very good. It offers a lot of exposure to students. Almost every month we have a fest or two which really make the college life fun.
Dislikes
- First of all the girls to boys ratio there are literally just 4-5 girlsin a class of 76 students.
- The dayscholar- hosteller thing. Unlike IITs in which all the students are hostellers, DTU has both day scholars and hostellers which kind of creates a disparity.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course I am pursuing, automobile engineering focuses on both mechanical engineering as a whole as well as automotive engineering. The curriculum is well suited for the course. However, it lacks practicality is mostly theory based. Some professors do try to make it more practical but changes are needed. The frequency of exams is 2 every semester. The difficulty is not high if a students has been present in classes and practiced the guven assignments. However some subjects like basic electrical engineering are somewhat more difficult un which a lot of students struggle to pass.
Internships Opportunities
The college provides in campus internship opportunity known as USIP in which students work under professors and earn stipend. Many companies like microsoft, google, amazon, tcs offer internships to students which often result in PPOs. Roles include software engineers, technical support, data entry etc.

Invictus is the technical fest organised in February. The library has a large variety of books ranging from fictitious and non fiction novels to academic books. Projectors are available in all classrooms. Newly built academic block has better infrastructure. Lots of societies, clubs are there to make student's life more interesting.
Hostel Facilities
The newly built girls hostel is up to the mark. It has 11 floors, 21 rooms each floor, each room shared by 3 girls. It has AC ducts in every room which function throughout the year providing cool air during summers and blowers during winters. Beds, mattresses, study table, chair, cupboard is provided to everyone. Dustbin is common for the room. The menu of the mess is good however the quality can be improved. The 3 tier Ac hostel costs 72000 for 1 year. 34800 are the mess charges per year. Hostel allotment is done on the basis of distance of your home from the university. Outside delhi people get it easily however for delhi people it is a little difficult.
Admission
I had applied for BITS pilani but didn't get into it due to low score. I applied for DU Bsc course got a seat however i consider Btech a better option compared to Bsc. DTU considers JEE mains score/rank for admissions in Btech programs. The cutoff depends on reservation category as well as the state one is from. The cutoff is higher for general outside delhi students while significantly lower for reserved category delhi students.
Faculty
Overall my experience with the faculty was nice. There are some faculties who are difficult to deal with but most of them are pretty nice. Some of the faculties who are very well at teaching as well as friendly are OP verma (HoD ECE), Dhirendra Kumar (maths) etc. There are 2 exams every semester - the mid term exam and end term exam. Mid term exam is of 20/25 marks (practical/non practical) End term exam is of 40/50 marks (practical/ non practical) The rest of the marks are given through practical and internals.
Night Life
For girls hostel the in timing is 11 pm. Raj soin hall contains most of the food places, HIMs cafe, Raydee, mic mac, dosa plaza are some of the other food places. There are 2 gyms one for boys and one for girls. The locality around DTU is not well developed and not safe at night. The library closes at 10pm at night on weekdays and 5pm evening during weekends however it is open whole night during exams.
Other Applied Colleges
