DTU's review

Software Engineering is my dream branch. It graduates students ready for industry. Course curriculum is as required by the industry up to date. All the aspects of AI and ML are also been considered. Special project sessions must begin from the very first year of the college. So that students get more exposure to solving real-world problems. Exams are as usual, mid-term after the second month of the semester and end term after 4 months after the beginning of the semester. But the time between mid-term and end-term is comparatively less. The syllabus is always 5 units or 6 in some courses.

Internship opportunities are comparatively less but are higher than other colleges of JAC Delhi counseling. The highest of 1.8 LPA stipend was awarded to a student. You need to score an 8+ CGPA if you want to appear for a maximum company interview but some companies allow students at 7 cgpa also.

For placements students are eligible from fourth year onwards. And for internships you can apply from third year onwards. A highest of 1.84 cr package was offered and average package goes to 15 LPA. For tech branches CSE, IT, SE average package goes to 20 LPA. This year due to recession around 55% students of tech branches are placed till to the date. If you are not able to crack placement within campus you can opt for off campus too.

Each year the fee is hiked by 10000 rupees. For example, the first-year fee for 2022 admitted students was 2,19,000, and that for 2023 students is 2,29,000. Second year fee for 2k22 students is 2,26,700 and for 2k23 students is 2,36,700. The total fee is set to around 10 lakh rupees. A scholarship is provided by college itself if you have an income proof of less than 4.5 lakh per annum. If you have proof of income less than 1 lakh per annum, your full fee will be waived off. Delhi government also provides scholarships which you can avail from the E-district portal. I am a second-year student and I have not applied for any job or internship yet.

The most famous annual fest Engifest, occurs in the month of Feb-March. Also, famous fests like Yuvaan and TechFest of DTU happen in Feb. There are some other tech-fest also like Vihaan and Different Hackathons organized by Different societies of the university. Each classroom has its own projectors and smart boards and centralised air conditions. One can visit the sports complex any time of the day, you be a hosteller or a day scholar. There are many playing courts in the complex like basketball court, volleyball court, cricket ground, football ground, indoor Table tennis court, and badminton court. It has a gymnasium also.

There is a reservation of 85% for Delhi students. To be admitted to DTU, you must crack JEE Mains with a decent rank and you can get into it easily. For the cutoff of previous years, you can visit the college Pravesh site. You can be admitted to the college by applying for JAC Delhi counseling. EWS certificate should be for the current financial year. Mid-term exams are 1.5 hours and half of the syllabus is asked. End Terms are 3 hours with the full syllabus. Mid-term goes for 1 week and end term can extend upto one month.

For every 20 students, there is a faculty. It depends on your department also. In my department, the Department of Software Engineering, the number of teachers is less. Hence the faculty-to-student ratio decreases here in this particular case. But departments like CSE, ECE, and EE have many faculties. Faculties here are experienced enough with at least experience varying from 3 years to 30 years and more. They have good mentorship techniques. One can easily interact with their faculty in their cabin personally or in class socially.
