Why is DTU ranked so low in the NIRF?

DTU, earlier known as DCE, has a rather obsolete curriculum and pedagogy. Despite that, it invites more than 450 recruiters every year. These companies are well aware of the excellent coding culture at DTU showcased through the student's online presence on top sites like HackerRank/HackerEarth/Codechef. So if you are a coding lover, DTU has opportunities at par with top institutes like IIITH, IITB, and BITS Pilani. However, rankings are done on various aspects including GO. Considering all the branches of DTU, it rightly deserves to be among the top ten due to its location. But NIRF ranks it poorly as it considers a variety of parameters like: TLR, Teaching, Learning, and Resources: DTU has very few approachable faculties thereby bringing down the ratings RPP, Research and Professional Practice: Recently, DTU has received funding so it’s slowly improving its research culture which earlier was non-existent. GO, Graduation Outcomes: DTU has a good graduation outcome almost comparable to IIT Bombay. OI, Outreach, and Inclusivity: This brought down the rankings miserably. So we can conclude that NIRF rankings are based on useless criteria and shouldn’t be considered to evaluate colleges worth and credibility.

Which ranks higher: NSIT, DTU, or an NIT?

It’s hard to determine the worth and credibility of these institutes just by looking at official rankings. So I will be taking into consideration some criteria Placements: The placement scenario and opportunities offered at all these institutes are equally good as similar companies visit for placements. Companies like Google and Facebook conduct an open test like APAC so students of all institutes get equal opportunities. Campus life: In terms of the campus and city life offered, my preference order would be DTU = NSIT > NIT. Being in Delhi, NSIT and DTU offer better opportunities and exposure. Delhi has it all, major corporate headquarters, the media, and top colleges like IIT-D and DU to compete with. Student pool: The peer group has a massive effect on you and helps you in determining your interests and activities and grooming your personality. The ranking of colleges depends solely on the type of crowd you are looking for. If you are from south India, you would prefer to join NIT- Trichy. So this aspect cannot be generalized at all. Campus: A dynamic college life is very important to break from occasional strenuous situations. In that aspect, NIT offers the best campus life followed by DTU and NSIT. Faculty: The faculty pool is better at NIT than at NSIT and DTU. NIT is a central government institute and has a better recruitment process so filtration is better. Alumni: Alumni network plays a big role in your institute’s reputation in the corporate sector and can help you financially with your startup idea. That being said, DTU and NIT Trichy have the best alumni network followed by other NITs and NSITs. It’s best to go for the college that is best suitable for you alone and not just because it has good rankings.

What is the ranking of DTU in India?

DTU is a government institute under the NCT Delhi. The institute has a wide range of branches like Production, Mechanical, Biotech, Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, etc. These branches aren’t available in tier-2 colleges like NSIT and IIIT Delhi. The core branches have poor placement statistics which makes the NSIT and IIIT Delhi placements look better. Most students don't set placements as their goals after BTech these days but prefer appearing for competitive exams like CAT, GRE, GMAT, UPSC Exams, SSC Exams, GATE, etc. That being said, Delhi is the supreme location that offers excellent opportunities for coaching and preparations for these exams apart from great placements and campus life. Here are some official rankings of DTU India Today: DTU BTech was ranked 8 out of 35 colleges in India in 2023. NIRF: DTU Overall ranking by NIRF is 40 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023 IIRF: DTU Design ranking by IIRF is 11 out of 30 colleges in India in 2023 The Times of India: DTU B.Tech ranking by The Times Of India is 1 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022 Overall, DTU is a great option considering its ranking, location and the opportunities available.

"DTU : Where Innovation Meet Excellence - A Journey Of Growth And Opportunity"

Teaching Faculty: Teaching facility is Insane , Professors from Top Elite Qualifications are here for teaching students
Environment : Students , Teaching Faculty, College Infrastructure are very Impressive and supportive.

Not provide any hostel facility to the students which are 25 Km apart from the college campus., low gender Diversity (boys to Girls Ratio)
Strict Attendance Policy: Min Attendance Should be above 75% for each Semester

I got the opportunity to Done Four internships During My Cousre (B.tech),which are as follows: 1. Data Analystics Consulting Inern At KPMG INDIA (Virtual), 2. Business Stratergy Consulting Intern at Vardhan Consulting engineers (25K Per Month) 3. Documentation & Management Intern At USIP DTU(3500/- per month 4.

A REVIEW OF DTU BY NIKITA

College has a very big campus as compared to many colleges
Faculty is very versatile and is will known in their fields

Boys girls ratio is very low as compared to any other course
Security is poor as there i have seen many fights in fests

Placement Experience:

Placements are good with a average package of 600000 per year but companies are taking lesser students every year which make it difficult for each and everyone to get placed. But you can also apply for various jobs in college department also .

DTU A STORY TOLD BY A ENGINEER

Faculty was very professional and good they will teach you not just to pass your exams but they will teach to be a engineer in real life
There were many societies in college in which you can become a member so that was very good experience for extracurricular activities

Boys girls ratio was too low in my class there were only 6 girls in total 80 students
Academic staff is very rude if there is some problem in your portal or something you have to go there and ask but they will do the things when they will like

Many companies are listed in portal and you can do internship on you own . Many PSUs were also involved in internship program like IOCL, BHEL, NHAI so yes you can opt for these internships . After completion of your internship companies may provide you a ppo.

Life at DTU - Complete Guide

Good opportunities for students who work hard
Sports and recreation facilities are also great

Batch size is very large and student specific focus is less by the teachers
Academically could be much better, you'll have to study mostly yourself

Internship opportunites are less compared to placements. About 60-80 companies visit for internship and less than 200 students get on campus internship. The average internship stipend is around 50-60k and the role is mostly for Software Engineering. Students need to have proper resumes and have 2-3 strong projects to get an advantage over others and should be strong at DSA

Good campus,lush green campus, a lot extra curricular activities
Good placement opportunities,fang companies come and take a lot of students

Remote area, students come from. Very long distance
High tution fees , tution fees is very high as compared to other government colleges

Various internship opportunities are provided from big tech firms like Goldman Sachs ,Bank of New York for junior software Engineer role . They give a hefty some of more than 50000 and goes upto 150000 per month as a junior analyst. But know a days due to job crunch grabbing an internship is become more hard than getting a job

DTU, the okayish college for Design.

The college environment is good and fun if you can stay over or nearby.
Learning with fellow Design Peers with similar interest

The administration of the whole college is terrible.
No hostel for Delhi based student/Dayscholars

For my batch, not much has happened until out final year. As mentioned prior, we had to resort to finding opportunities for ourselves by ourselves. But final year, atleast some opportunities have came, however not that good. But I do see junior batches getting much better opportunities from big Names like Adobe that offer 100000 per month stipend to students for the roles they offered.

Startup-incubation cell : The best-in class startup incubation facilities are available in the college and amazing startup support. Placement Support : The best in India placement support put this college on the map and gets the best placements.

Hostel Living Facilities : Major hostel facilities are not good and many students are not provided hostels
Quantity vs quality ratio of the students is low.

All the companies that come for placements also hire interns from 2nd year of the students. The projects are done in each course curriculum for each subjects and task is supported by faculties properly.

DTU, the college NSUT aspires to be

The college has a lot of societies, which cater to different aspects, and let's one choose what they want to pursue.
the campus is quite modern and has a lot of places to eat, plus it is fully air-conditioned.

the girls to boys ratio, in college is really bad, CS and Biotech have the best ratio, otherwise there are less than 5 girls in a class of 60-70 students.
The location is really far off on the edge of Delhi, plus the area over there isn't that safe.

Multiple Companies offer internships in our college for example Zomato offered an internal for a software engineer at 60k per month stipend zerodha offered a 6 month internship with a PPO for 40k a month
