What should I choose, DTU engineering physics or Thapar University CS?

Having known some people studying in both these institutions, I can say that if you plan to get a job offer, go for CS at Thapar University. If not and are interested in doing research opt for Engineering Physics at DTU. Engineering Physics is a field which does not anymore provide a promising opportunity to its aspirants. If you go with this choice of branch you might get research opportunities after higher studies. Moreover, if you have prioritized DTU, keep in mind that the quality of education and academic career is reducing with every passing year. Few of the many branches at DTU are striving to keep their esteemed position with engineering physics not being one of them. Instead, CS at Thapar University would be an excellent option for building a path for your career. This branch is known for its exceptional academics and for the opportunities held out to the students. Although it is a batch of almost 570 students in CS you can certainly end up with a 5LPA and above package by the end of your 4th year. Categories CS at Thapar University Course Fee 13.23 lakh Highest CTC 22 LPA Average CTC 8 LPA There are many reputed companies that take part in their placement program and recruit CS graduates. These include Infosys, Wipro, Accenture, Capgemini, Oracle, IBM, ZS Associates, Morgan Stanley and many more.

Which should I take for engineering - physics at DTU or electronics and communication at IIIT Una?

Both of the colleges have their own specialties. It depends on your purpose for doing any of the mentioned courses. One of my friends graduated from DTU and he mentioned a few points about the same which may be helpful for you- If your focus is on taking a decent job after graduation or earning money, opt for other options than physics. But if you have your interest in the field of research in physics or you want to do your higher studies in the field of physics, then go for Engineering in Physics. My friend from the physics branch in DTU straight away mentioned that the physics department in DTU doesn’t have decent placement opportunities, be it the on-campus placement or off-campus placement. ECE being a practical-oriented subject has a lot of demand in the industry. Also after graduating with ECE, you can sit for placements of both core companies and IT firms. Thus there will be a lot of job opportunities. Half of the students who have enrolled themselves on the physics branch were misled and the other half was too sure and passionate about this branch. Whereas, ECE at IIIT UNA can provide you with a good job right after you graduate. Categories Engineering Physics at DTU ECE at IIIT Una Course Fee 7.81 lakh 8.16 lakh Highest CTC 15-16 LPA 16 LPA Average CTC 8-9 LPA 8 LPA Recruiting Companies Optum, Tech Mahindra, TCS, IBM, etc. Google, Microsoft, Accenture, Capgemini, etc. Hence, it is up to you what is your purpose behind taking a course, if it’s research, go for engineering physics and if it’s about taking a decent job in the field of Electronics, then go for IIIT Una.

If you want an amazing campus and college life , decent placements and high social interactions dtu is the place for you

To secure a seat at delhi Technological university we need to pay 95k to confirm our admission at dtu. Then we have an yearly fees of 141000 and that is for two combined semesters. There is also a fees waiver for students who have annual income lower than 4 lakhs per annum or you need to score a perfect 10 cgpa in your respective branch to get full fees waiver.

Delhi's second IIT, DTU

The tution fee is increased every year .The fee might sound a little too much at the start , but there are endless opportunities for financial assistance. Financially backward families can even get 100% tution fee waiver .There are scholarships for almost everyone and if you truly deserve a scholarship, you will get it . I am not aware about the campus employment opportunities if there are any ,

DTU: A college where dreams get into reality

Dislikes

Semester exams are very tough it's not easy to to pass and get good marks you have to study very thoroughly to good marks
Curriculum is very outdated it as subjects like microprocessor in interfacing which are very outdated

Tution ki here is very high approximately 10 lakh for 4 years it also includes the hostel charges and MESS fees. The reason for this hiking in fees is because of the reason that the students are not much active and does not raise their voice against the system. Students does get scholarships on the basis of their annual income of their parents. Reserved seats students gets benefits in the scholarships. I have been a part of the society called pratibim where I enjoyed my role as an actor vocalist instrumentalist so there are very much opportunities available in the campus where you can enjoy the rolls responsibilities and gets rewards as well.

My 2 year review of DTU college

Fees is around 2 lacs 19k something or more and every year it increases by 10k or 5k To my accord it is definitely much higher for a government college and definitely should be lowered down but there are much scholarships based on your ranking , income group , and for different reasons too.
