DTU hostel life is like any other college. My friend was allotted a room in the Type 3 girls hostel and this is what her hostel building looked like:

Delhi Technology University

Here is what her room looked like

Delhi Technology University

The hostel life is pretty disciplined here and girls are expected to get back to their rooms by 11 PM. The attendant keeps track of the student's attendance and locks the main building door to ensure no one gets out. Boys on the other hand get a lot of freedom and can roam around the campus even at 2 in the morning. Midnight cravings can be taken care of by Micmac which stays open till around 2 AM. This is what the DTU campus looks like at night.

The campus is well-secured and guards are on duty throughout the night. The hostels are situated near the academic block and you can reach the classes within a few minutes. 

Overall, the hostel life at DTU is pretty vibrant and you make a lot of memories here.

MG
Mayank Gupta Posted On : July 4th, 2023
studied at Delhi Technological University (2020)

MC is a new branch at DTU so very little is known about it. My answer will surely help you gain help you consider it as a prospective choice. 

Brand value: DTU's brand value has been able to attract a good crowd of students and recruiters over the past years. Despite having average faculties, it gives you enough resources and opportunities to pursue your passions in versatile fields. DTU offers exposure at the level of NITs.

  • Alumni network: Although the branch specifically has a small alumni pool. Let me tell you that overall DTU alumni are spread across the globe in successful careers and are very helpful. 
  • Culture: DTU promotes programming through a number of societies and groups for DCE coders. You will find many Android/Windows/PHP developers that are very approachable.
  • Placements: The CSE placement scenario at DTU is excellent and at par with Software engineers and Information technologists. Around 75% of the companies offer a non-tech profile or a core computer engineering profile.
  • Research culture: This branch is a great choice for research enthusiasts as it is a perfect blend of mathematics and computing useful in a variety of research projects such as Data Mining, Big Data, Machine Learning, etc The professors will guide you through these projects but you will have to approach them frequently. 
  • Syllabus: The branch exposes you to a wide variety of concepts related to Mathematics and computing. The table below will give you a glimpse of the curriculum of this branch.

Pure Mathematics subject

Interrelated subjects

Computer subjects

Finance related subjects

Mathematics I. II, III

Discrete mathematics

Database Management Systems

Financial engineering

Real Analysis

Scientific Computing

Operating Systems

Engineering economics

Modern algebra.

Linear Algebra

Digital Logic Design

Stochastic calculus for finance

It can be safely concluded that the file of computers is incomplete without Mathematics and this branch is here to fulfill the gap between the two. This branch rightly proves that Math and Computing go hand in hand. 

The Financial subjects will help you secure jobs in the finance sector while the companies offering tech profiles will also consider students of this branch. MC is going to be one of the leading branches in the near future provided that committed students choose it and give their all to prove this branch's credibility.

Among NIT Delhi, DTU, and NSIT, which one is better in terms of placement?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 5th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

I assume you are a fresher and that’s why you are evaluating a college's worth through its placements. In reality, the placements released by these colleges are not precise so aren’t a credible criterion. You will be surprised to know that even top institutes like IITs are not able to achieve 100% placements. Even NSIT and DTU which show high packages of cries, are quite misleading. These high packages fail to show the situation of the average students that receive low packages and sometimes even remain unplaced. 

As for NIT Delhi, it’s still in its development phase and also has an average placement scenario. However, it has a good placement percentage and even average students manage to get a job easily. Nevertheless, I have done a comparative analysis of the placement scenario of these institutes.

Particulars

NIT Delhi (2021)

NSIT

DTU

Number of recruiters 

73

403

Highest CTC 

INR 46 LPA

-

INR 1.8 CPA

Average CTC 

INR 10.054 LPA

INR 16 LPA (median)

INR 15.16 LPA

Top Recruiters 

Adobe, Amadeus, Avalara, Code Nation, etc.

Microsoft, Amazon, Texas Instrument, Google, Qualcomm, Cisco, Hero Moto Corp, etc

Samsung, Instabase, Atlassian, Sprinklr, Amazon, Alphonso, Salesforce, Microsoft, Adobe, etc

From the above statistics it can be inferred that DTU has the best placements followed by NSIT and NIT Delhi.

What is it like to graduate from DCE/DTU?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 4th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

As a graduate of DTU, my sister feels surreal reminiscing about her time at the college. College life is lively and you are always busy with something. There ain’t any compulsion to attend classes and you can get involved in a lot of extracurriculars in addition to enjoying the beauty of the campus. She was amazed by the quality of her peers and loved spending time with intellectual people. 

The college days are a blend of good and bad experiences. Even the bad experiences have goodness behind them and you are well aware of this and that’s what makes you proud of being a part of this institute. You strive hard to survive and leave with great life lessons, real knowledge, and plentiful skills. 

The reality hits you when your last semester exams end and you wait for your job to start. You realize that you won’t ever be able to meet such people and make such memories again. Soon, you get busy with your new life and make new friends. Ghr occasional meet-ups with old friends make you nostalgic but you are able to move on. 

After a few years, you realize that because of your initial struggles and what DTU made you, you can now live a comfortable life. You see the thin line between IITians and Non-IITians fading away into oblivion and feel proud of your college. You keep climbing the ladder higher and achieving great heights. Eventually, you adapt yourself to your new life and the occasional talks about DTU fill your heart with warm memories.

Is DTU better than some IITs?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 6th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

It depends on which generation of IITs you are comparing DTU with. If you are comparing it with old IITs like IIT Delhi, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Guwahati, Roorkee, and Bombay, then the answer is no, DTU stands nowhere near them. 

However, comparing DTU to the new IITs like IIT Hyderabad, Indore, Mandi, Jodhpur etc you will find that DTU fairs better in terms of alumni network, and has better placements than new IITs. You can say that DTU roughly lies somewhere between the old and the new IITs. 

Within India, you will find DTU to have a strong brand name because of its rich legacy of being the mother institution of IIT Delhi and NSIT. But internationally, only IITs enjoy recognition and hardly any foreign companies are aware of the DTU brand name.

Which is better, EE at DTU or ICE at NSIT?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 4th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

There is no better branch between EE at DTU and ICE at NSIT. It's all about preferences and inclinations. To help you make an informed decision let's talk about both the branches individually

EE at DTU

  • EE at DTU is core electrical engineering wherein you are taught concepts related to power, grids, electrical machines, etc.
  •  For placements, core companies like BHEL and companies in the energy field visit the campus. 

ICE at NSIT

  • This branch has Control Engineering concepts along with electrical, electronics, and computer engineering.ICE has very light coursework and it's easy to maintain a good CGPA. 
  • You also get enough time for your passions and extracurriculars.
  • IT giants like Facebook, Google, etc. Don't allow ICE students to sit for placements. 
  • Core companies that recruit students of this branch include Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and others. 
  • Non-tech companies like BCG, Bain, and JPMC allow all students to sit for placements.
  • NSIT has a larger batch size and thus the competition here is less than DTU for placements but it still it cannot match the brand value of DTU.

In all, both DTU and NSIT have similar opportunities and placements so with the right mindset you can do well at both colleges.
