I chose DTU over others, because it is Tier 1 and also in my home state, so no much problems for me. It has a great legacy over a long period of time and best college life so far. I got rejected by IITs due to low JEE Advanced score, but no regrets as I'm studying in one of the best Engineering colleges in India.
The curicullum is latest and environmental engineering teaches about real life applications of Air pollution monitroing, waste water applications, noise pollution monitoring, and sustainable resource management. It seemed interesting branch to me, that's why I chose it. Difficulty level is easy to moderate.
Internships opportunities are also great at DTU with average stipend of above 100000 per month. Several roles such as GIS and Sustainable cities Interns were offered in Environmental Engg. branch, which were a great opportunity to upskill for the students.
Placements are Great at DTU. It has 24lpa average package for Computer Science Engineering branch , and lowest is around 10lpa for Biotech Engineering. Approximately 70-80% students get placed each year with Highest package of 1cr+ every year. This year, due to recession, it was approximately 82lpa. There were 2125 offers out of which 1700 students were placed out of 2500 students.
Yearly fees is 236700 for 2nd Year Btech. It increases every year, goes upto 2,66,700 in the 4th year. (This is the complete fee excluding hostel fee). Scholarship is provided by the college through interview round for financially weak students. No scholarship is available based on caste. There are 3 categories in the scholarship proved by DTU. 1. 100% fee scholarship 2. 100% tution fee scholarship 3. 50% tution fee scholarship
DTU conducts several fests per year, but the best in ENGIFEST which is held in the month of February and top artists of India as well as of the world perform there. Talking about library, it has books for all the disciples available. There are 100s of student run societies and we can create oue own too. A student run website is famous known as fresource, which provides college material for our semester exams.
The faculty is highly experienced, all of them are PhD qualified in their respective disciples, Lab instructors are PhD scholars from DTU. The faculty is mostly nice and helpful. Chemistry Department has the best faculty. Exams are usually moderate level. Most students fail in AM-101 and AM-102 (Maths in 1st and 2ns semester).
As I have already said earlier that course content is not very relevant and needs to be upgaraded along with the industry standards. I think more focus should be laid on Industry feel and appliction learning and theory must be left behind. I think exams should take place only 2 times rather than 3. Moroever , the marking scheme should also be changed.
The curriculum combines theoretical knowledge with practical knowledge students typically study core engineering subject in the first two yearsfollowed by more specialization course in their chosen field
