Is a B.Des. from DTU a good option?
My friend was in the second batch of this course. She was hesitant initially as the course was relatively new and everyone was against her idea of taking it. She believed that everything is new initially and someone has to take it to make it old.
India has a very limited number of design colleges and it’s quite difficult to make it into one. The limited options and the huge crowd makes the completion tougher.
- Faculties: The faculty of Design at DTU comprises highly qualified professors from IITs, NIDs, and highly renowned colleges like the Royal College of Art, UK. They will be your mentors and guide you excellently.
- Value: DTU enjoys a good brand value that will be reflected in your degree. Its rich legacy will open multiple doors of opportunities for you.
- Internships: The internship opportunities are great offering tremendous exposure and industrial experience.
- Placements: Decent companies approach design students and offer good packages after acknowledging your skills.
- Infrastructure: Many labs are under construction such as CAD Lab, Soft and Hard material lab, and 3D Printing Lab. Other infrastructural facilities include a 159-acre campus and a library well-stocked with design books.
- Curriculum: The curriculum has been designed at par with foreign as well as IIT IDC Syllabi. The Course has specialization in the fields of Product Design, Visual Communication Design, and Interaction Design.
Ultimately, bear in mind the fact that this course is new and it will take years for its credibility to reflect.
Which is better to do MBA - SRCC GBO or DTU DSM?
An MBA from SRCC GBO is better than DTU DSM. My friend was a student of S.R.C.C. G.B.O and shared a few pros and cons of the program she experienced throughout her program.
Pros:
- You get to associate yourself with the well-established SRCC brand name. The top companies safe well aware of this brand and flock here for placements.
- SRCC has excellent infrastructural facilities some of which include a PA system, a projector, and centralized air-conditioning.
- SRCC has a massive sports complex that was made for the commonwealth games. It has top-notch facilities like athletes’ changing rooms, a gymnasium, and much more.
- GBO has a highly qualified and learned faculty pool. The majority of the professors are alumni of top institutes like IIMs and FMS.
- Baking affiliated with Delhi University, SRCC shared many core professors with the FMS.
- The placement scenario is great and some top recruiters include EY, Dell, HCL, Novartis, Baxter, DCM, etc. Some companies visiting FMS allow SRCC students to sit for placements.
Cons:
- GBO is not an MBA but a Post Graduate Diploma in G.B.O.
- SRCC is famous for its UG courses so the P.G.D.G.B.O. Program is yet to receive recognition.
The only thing I can comment on about DTU DSM is that the crowd quality is poor because of low cutoffs. Placements-wise too, DTU DSM takes the lead while SRCC takes the backseat.

What is the scope for Electrical Engineering (EE) students in DCE/DTU?
The Electrical Engineering branch of DTU has a wide scope in terms of academics as well as placements. Students are exposed to a wide range of future prospects and the opportunities are plentiful.
You will be highly disappointed with the academic environment here. The curriculum is poorly structured, obsolete, and irrelevant to industrial needs. The faculty is not passionate about teaching and tends to deliver bookish concepts only. The classes conducted are boring, the students do last-minute mugging up for concepts and get low scores.
Placements-wide, DTU will not disappoint you much. Decent companies come and hire those with decent grades. Some core companies also make great offers. Then again, EE placements cannot be compared to CS or IT placements.
As far as internships are concerned, not even a single core company offers internships to EE students. Usually, coding companies like Amazon and Directl offer internships but EE students hardly are able to secure one.
Eventually, if you are an EE student, you will get placed in core/non-tech companies. Some even go for PSUs or pursue MBA or MS. Remember that the growth of students in EE is more than those in the IT sector. You will need patience and dedication to stay in this branch and reap the benefits in the long run.

How is Electrical and Electronics branch at DTU? What is the average placement?
The perfect description of the Electrical and Electronics branch at DTU is the Jack of all grades and Master of none. The branch covers everything including EC, EE, CS, IT, and SE yet you end up with nothing in your hands. The worst part is that teachers don’t give enough marks in this branch. Even hard workers get average grades.
The same is the case with recruiters. They consider EEE students the jack of all trades but master of none. All the companies prefer EE and EC, CS and IT but EEE students are rarely given preference.
Although there is harmony among the batchmates of this branch, sometimes you might face challenges so keep all these things in mind before going for it.

Why do top rankers at JEE Main choose DTU over IITs and NITs?
There are a number of reasons why many top rankers in JEE Main choose DTU over IITs and NITs. Here are some possible reasons.
- DTU is a top Engineering institute well-regarded by top companies as well as engineering aspirants.
- The location of DTU is what attracts many from all over the country.
- Another possible reason why one would choose DTU over IITs would be an average JEE Advanced rank that does not let them have a branch of their choice.
In JEE Advanced if your rank is 2000+, your options for the branches are limited in IITs. Those who have a specific goal and preference then prefer going for a tier-2 institute that lets them. Some want the IIT tag and compromise on their branch.
It’s the ones that look at the bigger picture and compare colleges on wider aspects than the brand value that end up choosing DTU, the best choice after IITs and NITs.
How many marks are required to get a seat at DTU (CSE) as a general Delhi category student?
DTU JEE Main cutoff for the Delhi region (CSE) is as follows
|
Round 1 |
7859 |
|
Round 2 |
10347 |
|
Round 3 |
10347 |
|
Round 4 |
10860 |
The above cutoffs are for General Category and CSE branch only. As for the marks required, it depends on a number of aspects like the difficulty level of your shift, no. of students appearing, and other exam factors. Approximately, you are expected to score between 236 - 275 to get CSE at DTU.
I am too confused between CSE at DTU/NSIT and IIT Jodhpur. What should I do?
I can never stop emphasizing this, no matter how many options you have always go for the one that gives you the IIT tag.
I am not saying Engineering colleges like NSIT and DTU aren’t good but they are in the developing phase while IIT Jodhpur is in its developing phase. This means it will only get better. Despite being a new IIT, its average package this year was recorded at INR 21.30 LPA, which is a great feat for a new college.
Additionally, IITs receive more funding from the government to provide better research and project opportunities. Specifically speaking about CSE, this year the highest INR 56 LPA was bagged by BTech CSE. The placement percentage stood at 97% while the average package for CSE was recorded at INR 23 LPA.
DTU and NSIT may have higher placement statistics but they lack what IIT Jodhpur offers, the most coveted IIT tag! So choose wisely.
