After clearing the JEE mains examination the college admission process takes place through the JAC Delhi website which conducts admissions for DTU, IIT, NSIT, and IGDTUW. You have to fill online form for the admission and then fill the choices for all the courses, DTU offers 15 undergraduate courses. Then, after a month or so, cut-off lists are declared. If you get the name in the first list, then you need to visit the college and get admission in that course, which is a step-by-step simple process and you need to pay 75000 fees to JAC at that time.

Excluding some of the faculty members, rest all teachers are not so good. For studying in college you need to rely on yourself and YouTube lectures. Self-made notes are treasures during exams. Relying on teachers is waste of time. You'll need to issue books from library and book bank. Apart from that, the faculty members are supportive, but in terms of cheating they are not up to the mark, however, some of them are really brilliant.
