How is the BBA course in DTU?
DTU is a well-reputed college. It is known for its engineering courses. People assume that it is as good for BBA as engineering. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
The office staff at the East Delhi campus could be more supportive. They do not answer student queries, and keep on delaying responses to a later date. In the end, they put all the blame on students. Eventually, one is left with the only option of visiting the main campus for query resolution.
But the main campus staff responds that the entire work related to BBA/MBA is done on the East campus itself. As for BBA placements, they are below average at present. The packages are very low, and the placement percentage is nowhere near the promised 100%.
I recommend you look for other options for a BBA instead of DTU.
How is DTU for ECE?
The ECE branch at DTU is very competent. It has a pool of talented, intelligent, and hardworking students. The reason being that the cutoffs for ECE usually are high. DTU ECE students get placed every year in MNCs like Qualcomm, SanDisk, TI, Samsung, and other such reputed firms that hire electronics engineers. A good percentage of the students also pursue an MS from renowned universities across the globe. Students also prepare for competitive exams like CAT, GATE, UPSE CSE, and even succeed in them.
The faculty here is very knowledgeable and teaches lucidly. They are also very lenient in their evaluation.
The curriculum is entirely focused on hardware, communication, computer architecture, advanced integrated circuits, signals and systems, superior probability, networking, and control systems. This is just a broad classification, the actual curriculum is vast, and students can find a lot of interesting sub-fields in electronics. The only drawback of the curriculum is that it does not offer any CSE electives. Assignments are scarce and can be efficiently dealt with as the solutions are readily available from various sources.
The workload is at the bare minimum level. The exams require just a couple of weeks of diligent studying. For the rest of the semester, one is free to explore his/her skills, hobbies, and interests.
75% and above GPA is straightforward to achieve and maintain. Pushing a bit more during the exam period can fetch even 80% and above. This all makes the college life here very exciting and rewarding. To sum up, ECE at DTU is a good option that can be exercised if one compares among the top NITs.
Should I go for DTU for mechanical or IIIT-Delhi for ECE?
I have friends in both the colleges DTU and IIIT Delhi so I can give you a comparative analysis of these colleges
- IIIT Delhi charges almost double the fees of DTU, so if you have financial constraints, DTU is a better choice.
- IIIT Delhi has a rigorous campus life and heavy workload sparing no time for extracurricular activities.
- DTU students score better CG even though they are involved in many nonacademic activities. A high CG score is crucial for MS or further studies and even more so during placements.
- IIIT Delhi has a smaller batch size so it's easier to become part of any cultural competition because of quantitatively fewer people competing for the same.
- DTU has a bigger campus and better infrastructure than IIIT Delhi which operates from a tiny campus.
- Except for core electronics, you can almost pursue any career as a DTU student because of the free time you have. The mechanical societies of DTU are excellent.
The choice between the two is a matter of personal goals and inclinations.
How are the placements of environmental engineering at DTU?
The placements of environmental engineering at DTU are great. According to the placement highlights of 2019, the environmental engineering department received a total of 38 placement offers and 27 students from the department got placed. The highest CTC received by the students of this department was around 16 LPA in this academic season. In the past students of environmental engineering received placement packages up to 25 lakhs per annum. The company offering the package was Brother Industries and the post was software developer. Students are offered lucrative packages at reputed firms such as ZS, MuSigma, Deloitte, UHG, Practo, RNF, Printvenue, etc. These companies offer average placement packages of around 5-6 lakhs per annum for non-tech posts. However, placements are not too promising for core companies. But a number of software firms, consultancies, analytics, R&D, finance MNCs visit the campus for placement sessions.
I am confused amongst IIIT Delhi, NSIT, and DTU for CSE. What are some suggestions?
All three colleges namely, IIIT Delhi, NSIT, and DTU are excellent options for CSE. However, you might want to consider the following points before making the final decision
- Campus life: In terms of campus life, the DTU is the best option followed by NSUT and IIIT Delhi. DTU offers a very laid-back cap pledge life experience with a minimal workload and a lot of time to pursue your hobbies. There aren’t many restrictions on attendance also.
- Curriculum: IIIT Delhi is a clear winner in terms of curriculum as it has no extra subjects in the first year. Students are taught coding languages and related assignments from day one and thus prepare students better than their counterparts.
- Research: IIIT Delhi is a research-oriented institute and has better research facilities, labs, and resources. DTU and NSUT have a similar research culture.
- Infrastructure: IIIT Delhi is a newly established college so has modern infrastructure, although the campus is small. DTU and NSUT have larger campuses and better sports facilities.
- Fees: IIIT Delhi charges extremely high fees around INR 4.62 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) which is almost double the fees charged by DTU INR 2.19 Lakhs (1st Year Fees)
So choose wisely based on your priorities!

Is NIT Delhi going to become as good as DTU and NSIT (or even better) in the future in terms of placements, faculty, and campus life?
NIT Delhi was established in 2010 and is still struggling to make its mark in the education world. As for your question, if NIT Delhi will reach the level of DTU and NSIT soon, I feel that it certainly will. The following points support my stance further
- Every year, NIT Delhi has at least one student who gets ranked under 100 in GATE
- A student of NIT Delhi has gone for GSOC more than one time and is now a CERN(European Organisation for Nuclear Research)Geneva.
- NIT DELHI has highly qualified teachers and one of them worked in NASA, ISRO, and Japanese space organizations and then finally became a professor at NIT Delhi.
- NIT Delhi's first convocation ceremony’s Guest of Honor was Shri Pranab Mukherjee.
- The students here actively participate in research work and the Director itself has published 300 research papers in International/National journals.
- One of NIT Delhi's alumni has the honor of joining IIM Indore.
- NIT Delhi placement 2021 recorded an 88% placement percentage and top companies like Adobe, Amadeus, Avalara, and Code Nation visited the campus.
- NIT Delhi has the second fastest internet in India.
NIT Delhi may be lacking in terms of campus and alumni but it’s nothing that cannot be improved in the years to come!
How do I recover after getting a back in DTU. How does it affect placements, MS and MBA applications?
Honestly speaking your grades have nothing to do with your corporate achievements. I have seen students with decent marks getting no recognition from any on-campus recruiter. My friend too got back. He worked hard with 2 different companies for 4 years and decided to go for an MBA. He gave it his all during his pre-MBA period and finally secured admission to a decent B School.
He soon realized that he was meant for corporate only. It was his personality, communication, and interpersonal skills rather than technical skills that made him successful in the corporate world.
He stated that he scored average marks but made good industry contacts and worked on his presentation skills. He was able to secure a great job and is doing well currently.
So what matters is the brand you associated yourself with rather than the marks you secured.
What is the ranking of DTU in India?
DTU is a government institute under the NCT Delhi. The institute has a wide range of branches like Production, Mechanical, Biotech, Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, etc. These branches aren’t available in tier-2 colleges like NSIT and IIIT Delhi. The core branches have poor placement statistics which makes the NSIT and IIIT Delhi placements look better.
Most students don't set placements as their goals after BTech these days but prefer appearing for competitive exams like CAT, GRE, GMAT, UPSC Exams, SSC Exams, GATE, etc. That being said, Delhi is the supreme location that offers excellent opportunities for coaching and preparations for these exams apart from great placements and campus life.
Here are some official rankings of DTU
- India Today: DTU BTech was ranked 8 out of 35 colleges in India in 2023.
- NIRF: DTU Overall ranking by NIRF is 40 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023
- IIRF: DTU Design ranking by IIRF is 11 out of 30 colleges in India in 2023
- The Times of India: DTU B.Tech ranking by The Times Of India is 1 out of 200 colleges in India in 2022
Overall, DTU is a great option considering its ranking, location and the opportunities available.
How can I get the admission in DTU?
For admission into DTU, you must first secure a good AIR in JEE Mains. Your category will play a huge role for the cutoffs. You can check the 2023 Mains cutoffs for DTU.
