DTU - Aake to Dekho!

Btech is currently one of the only courses after pursuing which you can practically take up any career profession you want, be it data analytics, software development, core industrial placements, non-tech placements or preparing for any higher competitive exams such as CAT, UPSC, GMAT/GRE, CSIR NET etc. You also have research avenues opened up for you. Since I was in a state of confusion about what to pursue, I settled with this course given its less course-related workload, higher exposure and vast opportunities it opens up for me. There is usually one professor teaching at a time a class of 75 students, the professors being highly qualified and skilled enough to impart the skills required to the pupils desirous of learning. It is better if one starts preparing for the term exams one month in advance with diligence otherwise last week's studies may fetch you a GPA of 7.5+.

Companies do visit externally to provide internships apart from the reputed DTU IIF internships. Moreover, one can apply for internships during semester breaks oneself. Several students from DTU intern in ISRO and DRDO and some even get a chance to intern at NITI Ayog.

Generally, Fourth-year students are eligible for campus placements with more than four hundred companies visiting the campus for technical, non-technical and core job offers. The highest CTC offered in recent years was INR 1.84Cr offered abroad. Microsoft, amazon, and google are some of the best names hiring in the tech sector. The average package ranges to about 15LPA and about 2000+ offers are made. A good percentage of students are placed, the percentage depending branch-wise for specifics. For further details, one may visit the DTU website.

The charm to study in a government college of its affordable fees is gone long ago and now one has to pay hefty fees to study in this course and college. The current fee at the time of my admission was INR 2,20,000 with an increase of INR 10000 every year, taking the cost of the entire four years of study close to Rs.9 lakhs, without hostels. Rest, scholarships are available for those in need and other government-funded scholarships can be availed by the desirous ones, such as e-district and mcm scholarships.

DTU has a very vibrant and colourful life on campus. With over 30+ societies it offers one the scope, space and opportunity to follow any hobby, which one would have suppressed with their JEE preparation. From Technical to non-tech to arts, the societies offer you everything you could ever dream of, pros of having a large number of students. The books in Library are sufficient enough if issued timely and you may not need to spend any extra bucks to get your semester books. It is bet to study from the library itself as you don't need too many books and would study from Youtube but for any reference, the library is your ultimate support. It also houses a wide variety of Journals for those interested in research. Classrooms are decently equipped but many of the lack ACs, the rest of the facilities are good. A dedicated sports complex and gyming equipment have been provided for by the university. Fresources is one website which is run bu seniors, enough to cater to your academic needs.

The eligibility for the Btech course in DTU is 60% aggregate in PCM and qualifying JEE Mains Examination. The application forms are released after one month of declaration of the second attempt jee mains results on the JAC Delhi website, which also hosts admissions for NSUT, IIITD, IGDTUW and DSEU. The admission procedure is completely online up to this stage and a registration fee of around 2000 is to be paid online. Further, after filling in all the necessary details the candidate has to indicate the preferences for courses and colleges in decreasing order of preference, with the most preferred college-course combination at the top and then the decreasing order of preference follows the suit. The admission process is hassle-free and I personally do not see any need for improvement in the same. A Delhi general candidate may expect his or her admission till 1.2Lakh CRL in DTU/NSUT.
