Should you pick M.Tech Power System at Delhi Technological University?

This course suits students who want a power-sector job and can live in a Delhi for four years.

Pick it if:
You passed graduation in this state: half the seats are Part time, so a score that misses the Working student list can still get in.
You want power firms, not only general IT: the branch-wise placement table lists the same four power recruiters in each of the last three years.
Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the tuition fee in three yearly parts, and DTU asks for the annual fee at admission.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's closing score: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe score.
You need a single room from the first year: first-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3.
You want internships in a campus day classes: this is a Delhi, so the placement cell brings most internships here.
You will decide only after the JEE Advanced result: the DTU choice window closes within days of it, so fill your choices before the result comes.
Counsellor's advice
Freeze this branch if round 1 gives it to you on a Part time score. If you are Working student and below the round 1 close, float it and keep a safer college above it.

In short
Delhi costs less and pays more on average, but its closing score is about 3,000 places tougher. If your score clears both, take Delhi; if it clears only DTU, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
New Delhi places more of its batch but charges INR 24,000 more over four years and pays a little less. If its easier closing score is what you need, keep it one place below DTU in your choice list as the safer seat.
In short
Harbour charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If DTU gives you a seat in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
Delhi costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing score. If your score misses DTU in the early rounds, list Delhi right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
Summit is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If DTU allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on Delhi Technological University M.Tech Power System

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is M.Tech Power System at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without living cost is INR 3.86 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 11 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my score is just above the closing score?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General Part time seat closed at score 68% in spot round and it got tougher three years in a row, so a score that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the score checker above for your own category.
What job does this course help with?▾
Most students get power-system jobs with power and IT services companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The NIRF 2025 averaged INR 11 LPA, the median was INR 11 LPA and 85% of the batch was placed. If you want a power-sector job instead, this branch is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a campus day classes. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a Delhi, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 2 and 3 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better score?▾
Only if you can raise your score by a lot, not a little. The General closing score got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a branch change after year 1 if you want a sibling branch.
Will I get placed if I study part time?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 85% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 11 LPA is lower than the average of INR 11 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is Power System better than Power Electronics for me?▾
Pick Power System if you want a software job and Power Electronics if you want a power-sector job. Power System places a bigger share of its batch with power firms, and its closing score is the tougher of the two. If you get Power Electronics now and want Power System, the branch change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the GATE or DTU merit exam and fill this college in your DTU choice list. A seat comes in the round your score clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days DTU gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 3-year fee is INR 3.86 Lakhs without living cost. With local travel and study cost it comes to INR 5.06 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the living cost adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.

DTU: 2 Answered Questions

Should I opt for DTU mechanical or IIIT Delhi CSE?

Sanjana KapoorLives in New Delhi

The choice depends on what matters the most to you. 

If placements, faculty and research opportunities are your top most priority, choose IIIT Delhi CSE. In this respect, IIITD CSE beats DTU Mechanical by a large margin. But if you want the best of campus, college environment, cultural fests and brand name, DTU Mechanical is a much better choice. 

I would personally recommend IIIT Delhi, as it offers top notch placements. But if you’re truly passionate about Mechanical, choose that branch. Do not take your interest for granted while choosing your branch/degree.

Are courses in DTU and NSIT flexible? Can students from lower branches study a minor in C.S. easily?

Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

As an NSUT student, the new CBCS (choice based credit system) allows you to choose your fields of study. This makes for more flexible courses. Also, NSUT has an excellent coding environment which will help you for your minor in Computer Science. Many students over there pursue coding, despite being from a branch other than IT/COE. 

In DTU, you will have electives starting from 5th semester.These are department and general electives. IIIT Delhi offers the most flexible courses. Other than some fixed category credits, all the subjects are choice based. 

Thus, in terms of providing flexible courses, this is the order of preference- IIITD> NSUT>DTU.
