Our college has shaped many careers!!

Student Snaps:

Myself Pragati Prasad in second year of my college and doing Mechanical and automation engineering from IGDTWU. The fees is nearly one and a half lakhs yearly. The fees ain't that high as our college's ratio for placements is superb and ROI is arguably one of the best one will see. So, I think fees wise we are nicely suited.

IGDTWU is for Intelligent Ones!!

IGDTWU is ladies college for engineering. I know this is a rare thing but still strength of our college is as good as it's peers like DTU and NSUT. The fees is rather lesser from them as we have to pay just 1.48 lakhs in all to study here.

IGDTWU is Indegenous!!

IGDTUW is a great university which is under state government and therefore the fees is also less than what it's peers such as NSUT, IIIT Delhi or DTU charge for the same. Here, it is just 147k a year where other charges almost double of it.

Our college rocks!!

Our course is tougher and tougher to make us strong and hard.

IGTWU is among the top universities or rather college of Delhi to pursue in Delhi. Our fees is close to 150k a year and one can choose any engineering as admissions on CET are given and if somebody comes through management quota then some caption fees has to be paid. EWS and other minorities scholarships are available and students can get 20-100% scholarships on the basis of that.

The girls college

Every yearly course fee is 144500 and if you opt for the hostel your totel would be 3 lac // year. However for the students needed financial aid, there are a lot of scholarship like pragati scholarship, korak kanya....based on merit and financial income of the family. I am not eligible for any scholarship...but my batchmates have got benefitted by many these.
