THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE IN ONE OF THE BEST INSTITUTIONS IN INDIA

THE COLLEGE MANAGEMENT AND STAFF WERE VERY POLITE AND UNDERSTANDING.

AIEEE, IIT JEE, BITSAT. THOUGH I QUALIFIED BOTH IIT JEE AS WELL AS BITSAT I DECIDED TO GO WITH DTU AS I WAS GETTING MY DESIRED COURSE.

THE ENTIRE COURSE WAS WELL STRUCTURED AND DIVIDED IN 6 SEMESTERS. THE TEACHERS WERE EXCEPTIONALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND MADE THE LEARNING PROCESS WERE SIMPLE AND INTERESTING. WE HAD TO WORK ON 2 MAJOR AND MINOR PROJECTS WHICH PROVED US A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THINGS BETTER. WE ALSO HAD AN EDUCATIONAL TRIP TO OOTY WHERE WE WERE TAUGHT ABOUT DIFFERENT METHODS OF SURVEYING AN AREA.

FOR ALL THOSE WHO QUALIFY GATE, MHRD GIVES A STIPEND OF 12000 FOR PURSUING MASTERS IN AN ACCREDITED COLLEGE. EARLIER IT WAS 8000. RECENTLY THEY HIKED THE STIPEND.

STARTING WITH THE HIGHEST PACKAGE, GOOGLE AND UBER HAVE OFFERED PACKAGES OF AROUND 1 CRORE 20 LAKHS TO THE STUDENTS OF DTU. THERE ARE MANY TECH COMPANIES THAT VISIT COLLEGE EVERY YEAR WHICH INCLUDES - YAHOO, AMAZON, FLIPKART, INFOSYS, ETC. AND THEY PROVIDE AN AVERAGE PACKAGE OF 10 TO 15 LAKHS. THERE ARE CORE COMPANIES SUCH AS MCKINSEY, TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, QUALCOMM WHICH PROVIDE A PACKAGE OF ABOUT 10 LAKHS.

ENGIFEST IS THE ANNUAL CULTURAL FESTIVAL OF DELHI TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY (FORMERLY DELHI COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING). USUALLY HELD IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY, IT IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR COLLEGE FESTIVALS IN NORTH INDIA. IT IS A THREE-DAY-LONG CELEBRATION OF TALENT, POTENTIAL, LIFE AND HAPPINESS WHEREIN ENTHUSIASTIC YOUNGSTERS FROM ALL OVER INDIA COME AND PARTICIPATE IN THE VARIOUS EVENTS. INNOVA DTU IS A SHOWCASE OF TALENT AND CREATIVITY OF ENGINEERING STUDENTS. AMAZING PLACE TO LEARN AND HAVE FUN AT THE SAME TIME.

FEE STRUCTURE INCREASED THIS YEAR TO ABOUT 1.5 LAC FOR THE FIRST YEAR. IT INCREASES EVERY YEAR. IT IS AFFORDABLE AS COMPARED TO OTHER PRIVATE COLLEGES WHO CHARGE ABOUT 5 -10 LACS PER ANNUM. BUT BEING A GOVT INSTITUTE, THE FEES COULD HAVE BEEN LESS. SO OVERALL, IT'S FEASIBLE TO PAY 1.5 LAC FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE EDUCATION WE RECEIVE

YES THERE IS TUITION FEE WAIVER SCHEME FOR PARENTAL INCOME LESS THAN 5 OR 6 LPA. NOW THE AMOUNT BENEFIT IS NOT INSTANTANEOUSLY CREDITED. IT’S A PROCESS OF AROUND 4–6 MONTHS AS LIKE ONLINE APPLICATION, UPLOADING DOCUMENTS, DOCUMENTS VERIFICATION, LIST OF STUDENTS WITH SHORTCOMINGS IN DOCUMENTS, REOPENING OF PORTAL FOR THEM, RE-VERIFICATION FOR THEM AND PARENT’S INTERVIEW

THE COMMON ROOM: WELL, IF THE UNITED-ARSENAL MATCH IS ON, THE BEST PLACE TO BE AT AFTER THE EMIRATES STADIUM IS THE HOSTEL COMMON ROOM. SO MUCH ENERGY AND PASSION, THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE THE PREMIER LEAGUE BECOMES REAL. THE BIRTHDAYS: EVERY BIRTHDAY HERE IS SPECIAL. SINCE, THERE ARE SO FEW STUDENTS IN THE HOSTELS, THE BIRTHDAYS ARE EVEN MORE SPECIAL AS ALMOST EVERYONE CHIMES IN. ALL NIGHT SPORTS: EXAM OR NO-EXAM. THE BADMINTON, THE TABLE TENNIS AND THE STREET FOOTBALL GOES ON ALL NIGHT. AND THE SLEEP YOU GET AFTER THOSE TIRING MATCHES ARE THE MOST COMFORTING.

THE HOSTEL LIFE: SINCE ONLY 15% STUDENTS FROM OUTSIDE OF DELHI ARE ALLOWED IN THE COLLEGE AND THE HOSTEL, I WILL TELL YOU WHAT THE CROWD'S LIKE, IN GENERAL, AT THE HOSTELS. SO, WE ARE PEOPLE WHO SCREWED UP THEIR HIGH SCHOOL SO WE HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE - IN EVERY FIELD POSSIBLE. WE HAVE DONE THINGS SO HAVE A LOT OF STORIES TO TELL AND A LOT OF COURAGE TO PULL OFF CERTAIN SUICIDAL MISSIONS. THAT MAKES THE HOSTELS THE COOLEST PLACE ON EARTH. WHEN I TALK TO MY FRIENDS WHO READ AT "BETTER RANKED" COLLEGES, I REALIZE HOW BORING THEIR HOSTEL LIFE IT AND THANKS, HEAVEN THAT I MADE IT TO DTU! THE STUDENTS AT HOSTEL ARE VERY TALENTED AND VERY SUPPORTIVE.

THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION IS AN ORGANIZATION WITH CHAPTERS IN INDIA AND ABROAD, THAT HOLDS AN ANNUAL MEET TO SOCIALIZE AND NETWORK. THIS IS ALSO AN EVENT TO RECOGNIZE DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI. IN FEBRUARY 2011, THE UNIVERSITY LAUNCHED AN ONLINE NETWORK, PAN-DCE-DTU, UNDER THE INTERNATIONAL ALUMNI ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF DTU, TO STRENGTHEN ALUMNI INTERACTION.

BESIDES THE BASIC AND ENGINEERING SCIENCES THE CURRICULUM IN CIVIL ENGINEERING COVERS VARIOUS PROFESSIONAL SUBJECTS ON STRUCTURES, FOUNDATIONS, CONSTRUCTION, WORKS MANAGEMENT AND COST, TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING, IRRIGATION ENGINEERING, HYDRAULICS, ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING AND EARTHQUAKE TECHNOLOGY ETC.

I FILLED THE FORM ONLINE. THE ENTIRE SELECTION PROCESS WAS MULTI-STAGED SPANNING OVER APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AND I MADE INTO MY DESIRED COUSE IN THE SECOND LIST WHICH WAS RELEASED IN AUGUST. ON THE WHOLE, THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE STAFF WERE VERY COOPERATIVE AND HELPFUL.

SOME HAVE A VERY GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR SUBJECT. THEIR TEACHING SKILLS ARE GREAT. THEY EXPLAIN CONCEPTS BEAUTIFULLY, WITH EXAMPLES AND DIAGRAMS. THEY KIND OF HAVE A HALO OVER THEIR HEAD. THEY ARE PRAISED BY ALL THE STUDENTS AND OTHER TEACHERS. THEY AMAZE YOU WITH THEIR SUPERPOWERS AND YOU KIND OF CLAP AT THE BACK OF YOUR MIND EVERY TIME THEIR CLASSES END.
