About DTU

Initially, the course seemed quite Interesting only later to realize that it is largely copied from NID/IITs. There are daily tasks and assignments which are more of Art & Craft than Design. There are very minimal constructive Lectures. There are 2 semesters in per year and per semester have 2 exams.

The placement is assumed to be good with the average going over 10 Lakh LPA. But it is mostly for IT/CS Grads. As for Design with the current scenario, it seems very difficult to even get placed through campus.

The University celebrates almost events/fests every month. The Annual Fest "ENGIFEST" is organized in February. "YUVAAN" is the literary fest in January. "AHVAAN" the sports fest in March. "INNOVA" is the Techno-Management fest also in February. "INVICTUS" is the Tech Fest TedX E-Summit Triquetra.

For Bachelor of Design, the annual fee is 1.61 Lakhs which increases 10-15% every year. The Hostel fee is usually 30K. You can easily use up to 5-6k per month for the assignments as the Department doesn't provide Materials.

I haven't opted for any Scholarships or Loans. But some tried to from the SBI branch in the campus and were rejected. This also sparked concern that the University's Bank is also unsure about the placement scenario of B.Des that loans barely get approved.

Well, of course, being an Engineering College the Gender Ratio is almost 1:10. There is very minimal Diversity, most of the NRI students are either from UAE, Qatar or other Middle Eastern Countries. Foreign students mostly belong to SAARC Countries or African Countries. Some are also from Kazakhstan, Tajikistan etc. In terms of Extracurricular, there are a lot of Club/Societies on campus.

There is very minimal Alumni network as most of the Alumni are barely connected to the University. The E-Cell recently launched an Alumni connect App but it still seems to be in Alpha stage. Seniors are almost friendly but initially seems quite bossy. There are strict rules against Ragging but indirectly it is still done.

I gave UCEED 2018 where I had a very low rank of 2264 and had scored only 129 Marks. The first choice as always was IIT Bombay or IIT Guwahati but surely with rank as low, I wasn't even close. Just before finalizing my admission in UPES, I got to know that DTU will be starting B.Des course. I applied and was invited for Counselling/1st Round of Admission. I got admitted through the first round.

The faculty are mostly IITians/NItians. Some have Architecture Degree, Fine Arts Degree while some have Done PhD or Masters in Design. The Faculty is rather young and are not able to properly adhere to teaching College Students, they lack the Psychological Understanding of Students and do not give proper Lectures with Examples for Topics.
