Should you pick M.Sc Applied Chemistry at Delhi Technological University?

This course suits students who like chemistry lab work and may study further after the degree.

Pick it if:
You have Chemistry in B.Sc.: DTU asks for 55% marks and Chemistry as one main subject.
You want research exposure: the department lists polymers, sensors, electrochemistry and environmental chemistry as research areas.
You need a low fee: the academic fee is INR 1.08 Lakhs for two years before hostel.
You may study further: semester 4 has dissertation work, so you can build a research sample.
Skip it if:
You want a direct job course: the official pay data is PG-wide, not M.Sc Chemistry-only.
You need hostel certainty: DTU has hostels, but room allotment follows a separate hostel notice.
You dislike lab work: the course has chemistry practicals and dissertation work across the two years.
You wait for CUET PG result: fill the DTU form early, because seats move after the merit list.
Counsellor's advice
If you want chemistry research, take this seat with the fee ready. If you want a direct job course, compare first.

In short
Jamia Millia costs less and pays more on average, but its closing rank is about 3,000 places tougher. If your rank clears both, take Jamia Millia; if it clears only DTU, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
Riverbank places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over two years and pays a little less. If its easier closing rank is what you need, keep it one place below DTU in your choice list as the safer seat.
In short
Harbour charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If DTU gives you a seat in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
Lakeside costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing rank. If your rank misses DTU in the early rounds, list Lakeside right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
Summit is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If DTU allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on Delhi Technological University M.Sc Applied Chemistry

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is M.Sc Applied Chemistry at DTU worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want a low-cost chemistry course with research work. The full academic fee is INR 1.08 Lakhs and the latest PG median pay is INR 13 LPA. Use the fee block above to check hostel cost before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my merit rank is near 61?▾
Take it seriously, but do not count on last rank alone. The General list closed at merit rank 61 in round 1, and spot rounds depend on empty seats. Attend counselling with documents and fee ready, and keep a backup course in your list.
What job can I get after this course?▾
This course fits research labs, teaching routes, analytics roles and further study more than a direct job promise. The latest PG data shows INR 13 LPA median pay and 49% placement, but it is PG-wide. Ask the department for course-level placement before you join.
Who should choose this course at DTU?▾
Choose it if you like organic, inorganic and physical chemistry and can work in labs. The course has four semesters, practical work and a dissertation. It suits students who may write NET, GATE or other higher-study exams after the degree.
Who should skip M.Sc Applied Chemistry at DTU?▾
Skip it if you want a course built only for quick campus jobs. DTU gives a strong campus name and low fees, but the pay figure is PG-wide. If you do not like lab work or research reading, this course may feel slow.
Is DTU good for higher studies after M.Sc Chemistry?▾
Yes, it can help if you use the labs well. The department lists polymers, sensors, electrochemistry and environmental chemistry as research areas. Build your dissertation carefully and ask faculty about project work before the final semester starts.
Is the hostel sure for M.Sc Applied Chemistry students?▾
No, do not assume that before admission. DTU has hostels, but room allotment follows a separate hostel notice and capacity is limited. Keep money ready for hostel or nearby rent, then confirm the allotment rule before you pay the fee.
Can I pay the M.Sc fee in parts?▾
The brochure prints year-wise fees, not one full payment. You pay INR 53,700 for year 1 and INR 54,300 for year 2, while hostel is separate. Keep the first-year fee ready for counselling because missing the fee step can cost the seat.
Which exam do I need for DTU M.Sc Applied Chemistry?▾
You need CUET PG Chemistry. DTU uses the Chemistry paper score to prepare its merit list for this course. Fill the DTU admission form after the CUET PG result, then follow the counselling notice for reporting and fee payment.
Can scholarships reduce the DTU M.Sc Chemistry fee?▾
Yes, but the amount depends on category, income and documents. The scholarship block shows awards from INR 25,000 to INR 50,000 against the INR 1.08 Lakhs academic fee. Keep income and category papers ready before the portal opens.
Should I wait a year for a better CUET PG rank?▾
Wait only if you are sure you can improve. A rank near 61 can be close for General seats, but spot rounds are uncertain. If DTU fits your research goal and you get the seat, joining now is a practical choice.
Is Delhi NCR useful for this course?▾
Yes, if you look beyond campus placements. Delhi NCR has universities, labs, coaching centres and research offices. Use the city for projects, NET preparation and faculty networks, because the course itself is more research-focused than job-focused.

DTU: 2 Answered Questions

Should I opt for DTU mechanical or IIIT Delhi CSE?

Sanjana KapoorLives in New Delhi

The choice depends on what matters the most to you. 

If placements, faculty and research opportunities are your top most priority, choose IIIT Delhi CSE. In this respect, IIITD CSE beats DTU Mechanical by a large margin. But if you want the best of campus, college environment, cultural fests and brand name, DTU Mechanical is a much better choice. 

I would personally recommend IIIT Delhi, as it offers top notch placements. But if you’re truly passionate about Mechanical, choose that branch. Do not take your interest for granted while choosing your branch/degree.

Are courses in DTU and NSIT flexible? Can students from lower branches study a minor in C.S. easily?

Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

As an NSUT student, the new CBCS (choice based credit system) allows you to choose your fields of study. This makes for more flexible courses. Also, NSUT has an excellent coding environment which will help you for your minor in Computer Science. Many students over there pursue coding, despite being from a branch other than IT/COE. 

In DTU, you will have electives starting from 5th semester.These are department and general electives. IIIT Delhi offers the most flexible courses. Other than some fixed category credits, all the subjects are choice based. 

Thus, in terms of providing flexible courses, this is the order of preference- IIITD> NSUT>DTU.
