Bachelor of Design - DTU

In design, there are many competitive colleges, including NID, NIFT, NSUT and IITs. NID AND IITs have no comparison. I personally found DTU better than NIFT and NSUT becuase of 1. infrstructure, 2. electives offered here and 3. Placements. NIFT provides only Fashion Design and Fashion related courses, on the other hand, NSUT gives only Product and Fashion Design courses. I wanted to pursure Interaction Design, which was only provided by DTU. Secondly, DTU's curriculum is in such a way that, apart from your first foundation year, you can opt for electives of any two different feilds in the secon year in order to keep your options bigger, So, for example, I am attracted towards Interaction Design and Product Design, in other colleges i have to have to chose only one feild, but in DTU, in the form of electives, I can opt for both the feilds and further make my decision after experiencing both of them.

Delhi Technological University has a good track of placements. Many students secure a good offer from reputed companies in India and abroad. Adobe, Google, Microsoft tend to come in search of talented designers. Apart from job opportunities, some students often opt for higher studies in India as well as abroad. Highest package was bagged by a design a student of 45LPA. The average package ranges from 9LPA-15LPA.

The fees of my course is Rs. 2,29,000 per year. Since it is a 4 year course, thereore it makes approximately Rs. 10,00,000 for 4 years, excluding hostel and study material. Apart from this, there are no extra charges and I think it's a reasonable amount.

DTU gives major competition to other universities in terms of socities, clubs and sports. These socities gives a sense of belonging in the University, it enables good social skills, leadership skills, teamwork and confidence.

I got in DTU, Bachelor of Design course through an entrance exam named UCEED. It happens in January, after NID entrance exam. The examination assesses your creativity, drawing skills, design, visualization skills and problem solving abilities. It is 3 hour exam which includes basic mathematics, mental ability and sketching.

If I talk specifiaclly about my course, i.e Design, since it is a new feild in DTU, hence there are few faculty memebers. All of the teachers are highly skilled and experienced. But there is no spoonfeeding happening in the college, you have to do the assignments/work on your own. Teachers will help you but you have to gather the opportunities selfishly. In the other departments, the student-teacher ratio may not always be optimal. There are times when, in one class, there are 70-80 students studying under one teacher.
