DTU, the IIT of Rohini

I chose IT because it had a very great placement record with average packages upwards of 15 lacs per annum, plus it was what I was getting as per my rank. The student-faculty ratio is good enough, teachers can develop one on one connections with students. The faculty is highly qualified but their teaching methods can be a hit or miss. Some teachers are very good but many are not. Some teachers can be a pain to work with. Term exams were moderate in difficulty, passing is easy but scoring well is difficult. Though it doesn't matter as the grading is relative at the end.

All the major tech companies come for internships for the position of developers, stipends can range from 30k to 1.8 lakhs. Though it can be hard to get an internship as the competition is high and the no. of companies is low.

Students become eligible for placements after the 6th semester. More than 200 companies visit the campus for hiring, this includes all the companies you can think of, Microsoft, Google, and banking companies like Tower, Blackrock, and JP Morgan. Offers made are above 2500. The highest Package was around 2.4 crores this year. The average package for tech companies is above 20 lpa, for non-tech, it is around 12 LPA. More than 90 percent of students get placed, while others choose not to for different career options. It is easy. I wish to go for higher studies.

Every year, there is a fee hike of about 4-5 percent, and considering the already pretty high fee, it can make it difficult for students to afford. Fee concessions are given to students whose family income is less than 1 LPA, but these include very less students. There are many scholarships but the no. of students who get them is very low, plus the amount they give is not a lot. Students have to resort to loans to study.

The annual fest is called Engifest, which is one of the best in the country. It is held in February or March every year. The techfest is called Invictus which happens in the month of August or September. Other than these, there are many fests that happen like the E-summit, Homecoming etc. so the campus is always upto something. Books are always available in the library and one can issue them for the semester free of cost. The classroom has all the basic amenities though water can be a problem, and water coolers are placed at a distance. Sports and other activities are very good, there is an annual sports fest in which colleges from all over India participate. There is a club for everything, Panache for fashion, Sahitya for debating, Kalakriti for art, Vibe, and Nrityangna for dance, and many more.

Anyone who has cleared his JEE main exam is eligible to apply to DTU. The rank required depends on the course and the quota. For a general candidate, you need more than 90 percentile to secure a seat in the university. If you're aiming for top branches such as computer science, that percentile has to be above 98. One has to apply through JAC counseling online after the JEE main result is declared, and has to fill in the choices. I got the OBC category benefit because of which I was able to get IT, the second most demanded course after CS at a percentile of 94. Improvement I'd like to see is that they should provide accurate descriptions of the documents they require, it shouldn't be trial and error for us.
