What Students Say
Likes
- DTU still has its legacy left of DCE . The tech societies here are at some other level . Do a research about UAS , TDR societies in DTU and how many competition they won
- Chill hostel life . No timing criteria, no night curfew , no restrictions in campus
- Despite being in north delhi , DTU has a culture of south delhi , The hookups , clubbing, cafe everything and don't worry they are not expensive just get along with people and rest seniors will manage and pay
Dislikes
- Location. Although the campus is completely safe but the outside area is a little risky
- Hostel culture is very dead in DTU , you'd have to approach seniors yourself
- DTU' admin is very slow in doing important works. The administration sucks here ngl
Course Curriculum Overview
First of all, it wasn't entirely my decision to choose Mechanical Engineering,rather circumstances were such that I was forced to take it up because of my jee rank .To be honest, I didn't know much about Mechanical Engineering at first. But after four or five months, I've started to really enjoy it because of my interest in cars and aerospace. College curriculum is not very up to date according to the real world circumstances but still it teachers pretty much everything so you can learn the rest with yourself pretty easily In DTU we have exams twice a semester. First, we have to go through miderms, and then we have to take the endterm exams

dtu students get internship opportunities mainly from the 2nd and 3rd year through the placement cell or personal applications.

Fees and Financial Aid
In DTU for all branches the fees structure is same . I took admission in 2024 and my fee structure is as follows 1st yr - 236700 2nd yr- 246700 3rd yr - 266700 4th yr - 286700 The fees is same for all category students. But later on DTU itself does a fee concession interviews with students and deserving low economical status students receive fees refund from the college. Many scholarship are also available for students (some govt. scholarships are easy to get for category students). Rest assured if you are honestly a deserving student , then you'll get the scholarship easily, so focus on getting in DTU not on fees Some prominent scholarships in DTU -NSP - e-district delhi govt. scholarship -DTU fee concession rounds -Dell scholarship
Campus Life
The most prominent cultural festival is Engifest, which is typically held in February and is managed by the DTU Cultural Council along with various cultural societies such as the dance, music, dramatics, and fashion societies. Engifest attracts thousands of students from universities across India and features concerts, dance competitions, fashion shows, drama performances, and celebrity appearances. It provides a major platform for students to showcase their artistic talents and also gives organizing students experience in large-scale event management. The university’s flagship technical festival is Invictus, also usually conducted around February. This fest is coordinated by the DTU Technical Council and various technical societies such as robotics, coding, and electronics clubs. Invictus includes hackathons, robotics competitions, coding contests, engineering design challenges, and technical workshops conducted by industry experts. It encourages innovation, problem-solving, and collaboration among engineering students from different institutions. DTU provides extensive sports infrastructure: Outdoor Sports Cricket ground Football ground Basketball court Volleyball court Lawn tennis courts Indoor Sports Table tennis Badminton Chess and carrom The campus also has a sports complex and facilities for inter-college tournaments. Students regularly participate in inter-university competitions and sports festivals.
Hostel Facilities
The rooms are typical student rooms with essentials like a bed, study table, chair, cupboard, fan, and basic lighting. They are not very luxurious, but they are sufficient for daily student needs. Mess Meal --most days 2.5/5 Sometimes 1.5/5 Rarely 3.5/5 Hostel accommodation at dtU is limited. It is mainly available for students from outside Delhi and for some Delhi students who live very far from the campus. Students typically need to apply through the official hostel registration process, and seats are allotted based on eligibility and availability. Compared to many private accommodations, the hostel fees are relatively affordable for students. The locality around the college is generally considered safe for living, as it is surrounded by many PGs and student residences
Admission
I have applied to GGSIPU , AKTU and other state colleges , I got admission in all of them but DTU was better than them So i chose it I also managed to crack bits goa but the fees was legit too high for me to afford I get rejected from lower NITS because of my rank. Rank is the only deciding factor in getting into college, nothing else college admission was just like school admission. The only difference was the huge pile of documents. You have to submit so many papers, category documents, residence documents To be eligible, you need to score at least 60% in your Class 12th boards for all category students You also have to sit for the JEE exam, and your admission depends entirely on your JEE rank
Faculty
The faculty-to-student ratio is quite good. While it's not possible to have a teacher for every 10 students like schools but the ratio remains decent. the teachers are very helpful if you approach them personally or in their cabin Some of the prof i like personally Prof ranganath singari Prof. Raj Kumar Singh (rks) Prof. RC singh Ajay Solanki Some of the prof I don't like personally Prof.bb arora Brajesh nandan (teaches 1st yr physics) Exams are pretty doable in colleges .The main problem is building your skillset along with the exams classes and assignments. Backlog is also pretty common in colleges but you'll eventually clear it
Interview Experience
No , I am currently in my 2nd year of mechanical engineering and I don't applied for jobs yet. I did my internship in my 2nd yr winter break in maruti because my brother works there as a senior manager in R and D department
Night Life
Life at Delhi Technological University isn’t just about classes. After lectures, students usually hang out at campus cafés like HIMS, Nescafe, and KitKat, which are popular spots to relax and chat. Amul Lane, oat VLB Road, and the abandoned building are common hangout places where students sit with friends in the evenings. The gym is used by many students, while the library and most academic areas close by evening. Hostel students follow in-timings at night, so most late-night activities happen inside the campus. The campus itself is generally safe, but the nearby Samaypur Badli area is considered less safe at night, so students usually prefer staying within the campus for evening walks or hangouts.
