What Students Say

Likes

The beautiful campus in which I get to spend the 4 most exciting years of my life.
The Departed of Design, best building in the college.
Immensely helpful, incredible and inclusive batchmates and friends.

Dislikes

Teachers don't teach-like literally, they don't teach anything.
You'll have to figure out your own path.
The gender ration in the college. There should be quota for girls.

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

I chose to study design because I have always been fascinated with art, architecture, literature and of course the look and feel of everything around me- aka-design. The student-teacher ratio is fine, however, if you want to speak personally to a professor you'll need to look for them in the department.

Class Size: 120Course Fees: INR 229000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees at DTU are really high and quite unreasonable because there is not much that you can teach in Design. There is an increment of 10k in fees every year. Unlike NIDs and NIFTs which have state-of-the-art facilities, DTU does not have much to offer you for this hefty sum of money that you pay.

Campus Life

4.5

DTU undoubtedly has the best college life experience. The clubs, fests and activities pour life into the monotonous studies. The campus is always buzzing with the social activities taking place. The vibrant campus atmosphere will make sure that you enjoy every moment of your studies.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

DTU has a lot of hostels but it is still not sufficient to meet the needs of every student. The hostels are only given to students taking admission under the outside Delhi quota. The fee is also quite a lot considering this is a public university. If you are a Delhi student, forget about getting a hostel.

Hostel Fee: INR 54009 per year

Admission

The admission to Bachelor of Design at Delhi Technological University is through the UCEED exam. The eligibility for UCEED is you need to be either in class 12 or just dropped after class 12, you also do not necessarily need to be from a PCM background to take the UCEED exam.

IITD from a first years perspective

Likes

I like how the campus was big and had all the facilities from sports to extra curricular there is everything you want to do.
The seniors are friendly and whole environment is encouraging and helps in your growth
It’s affordable if you consider the facilities it’s giving and also supports you financially later on.

Dislikes

The hostel wasn’t that good and air conditioning was not allowed. During peak summers you really can’t stay in your rooms.
The pace of everything is pretty fast so you have to be mentally prepared for it
The drainage system isn’t good. It’s the same as the rest of Delhi.

Placement Experience:

The placements are great. The department responsible for placements is OCS and they are the best at their job they find top class recruiters and that too from big companies in your field. They also teach you how to prepare for them from the first year itself.

Insight to Pearl Academy

Placement Experience:

Placements are relatively good in comparison to other fashion colleges and placements start during the 7th semester. Companies like Raymond and high level MNCs come to the campus for placement opportunities. Highest package goes upto 10lpa and 1-2lpa on average. Students having CGPA greater than 8 are offered good packages.

I miss my college life at IIAD!

Placement Experience:

The placement cell was very supportive - I now work for a UI UX design consultancy. Got placed from the college itself. Before that, I got a chance to complete 3 different industry internships -one of them was for 4 months - giving me so much exposure. I learned the maximum during this one.

Great skill development!

Entrance Preview:

Entrance examination is conducted by the college itself! And there is no such score.. They tell if the student has cleared for the interview or not! And i opted for this college because this is one of the top five design colleges in India.

Great Memories

Remarks:

There are mostly good remarks but one bad remark is that you have to continue your course from the university in Sohna after 2 years of span at the college in Delhi. This is to populate the university and to get the right kind of exposure from their but, in the end its all a happy memory.

A NICE LITTLE INFO ON MY FAV. DTU

I have applied to GGSIPU , AKTU and other state colleges , I got admission in all of them but DTU was better than them So i chose it I also managed to crack bits goa but the fees was legit too high for me to afford I get rejected from lower NITS because of my rank. Rank is the only deciding factor in getting into college, nothing else college admission was just like school admission. The only difference was the huge pile of documents. You have to submit so many papers, category documents, residence documents To be eligible, you need to score at least 60% in your Class 12th boards for all category students You also have to sit for the JEE exam, and your admission depends entirely on your JEE rank...Read More
