Questions Asked On DTU, New Delhi

Is VIT better than DTU?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 5th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

From what I have heard, VIT Vellore is a money-making machine that accepts donations and admits every kind of student irrespective of their academic profile. The rankings that claim VIT to be better than IITs are baseless and forged. Don’t fall into their trap and talk to the students directly. You will find most of them saying that the professors are underqualified, have no interest in teaching and the academic environment is deteriorating. VIT is just a private university like Amity that is attracting students through fake advertisements and donations.

I would recommend you go for a government institute like DTU instead that has a genuine brand value.

Which is better, NSIT or DTU?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 7th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

My friend had to choose between DTU CSE and NSIT CSE and eventually went for DTU CSE after considering the below points

  • Brand name: DTU enjoys better recognition both inside and outside Delhi because of its rich legacy while NSIT is hardly known outside Delhi.
  • Alumni Network: Being one of the oldest technical institutes it has an extensive alumni network whereas NSIT was established much later and its alumni pool is small.
  • Placements: Both NSIT and DTU give an edge to each other in terms of placements and their average package is quite similar. DTU average package stands at INR 15.16 LPA while NSIT median package stands at INR 16 LPA. However, DTU has a larger batch size so maintaining this average package in itself proves that it's better. 
  • Location: NSIT enjoys a better location and has easy access to shopping centers and eateries. It also attracts a better crowd than DTU. 
  • Campus: DTU has a better maintained and facilitated campus than NSUT. NSIT has a lot of unused land which has become a breeding ground for wild animals.
  • Sports Facility: DTU is a clear winner here with its huge sports complex and indoor Badminton courts.
  • Research culture: Both colleges have poor research culture so if you are a research enthusiast, choose IIIT Delhi instead.

The ultimate decision depends on personal factors like distance from home and other inclinations.

TS
Tanya Sharma Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Studied at Delhi Technological university

Life at DTU is magical and surreal. It’s a rare experience and once you leave the college it will dawn on you how precious your time spent here was. The students live a carefree life here and pursue their passion alongside academics. DTU has given birth to many artists, musicians, singers, orators, dancers, writers, programmers, and athletes. Those who claim DTU students are bookworms have it wrong, as all kinds of talents are cultivated here.

To break the periodical monotony of campus life, frequent fests are held that are enough to increase the spirit tenfold. Engifest is one of the most awaited events in Delhi. The night events are vibrant and the students have the best days of their life during this fest. Another great event is the Literary Fest wherein you will be meeting well-reputed people in poetry, writing, and whatnot.

DTU even organized the Tomatina Fest in the form of a Color Run. You can explore the campus and find many eateries serving delicious food. The main canteen serves the tastiest samosas you have ever eaten while the Mic-mac canteen serves non-veg and Paranthas.

As for the academic life, it’s not very rigorous like other colleges. You can survive by doing self-study during exams. You will also enjoy the happening nightlife here.

Is NIT Surathkal better than DTU?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : July 7th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

Here are a few factors to consider while comparing NIT Surathkal and DTU. 

  • Alumni network: NIT Surathkal has a better alumni pool and also has better harmony than NSIT and DTU alumni. 
  • Startup culture: Located in close proximity to Bangalore, NIT Surathkal has a rich startup culture A few startups that were given birth by NIT Surathkal students are Nestaway, Practo, BHIVE, Taxiforsure, Quest software, etc. DTU also encourages entrepreneurship given the fact that it has given to startups like Father of Pentium and PayTM.
  • Location: NSIT is located in the heart of the capital city and enjoys maximum location benefits like connectivity to IGI Airport, Dwarka, and Gurgaon. DTU also has a great location and NIT Surathkal has the benefit of Bangalore access. 
  • Brand name: The increasing number of NITs in every corner of the country has diluted the brand value to a great extent. This is not the case with DTU and NSIT who have been able to maintain their uniqueness and thus enjoy better brand names.

In all, all the 3 institutes you mentioned are prestigious institutes that will offer a plethora of opportunities in shaping your career. What matters is how well you grab the opportunities and climb the success ladder.

Why is CSE at NSIT considered better than CSE at DTU?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

There are many reasons why some students prefer CSE at NSIT to CSE at DTU. I have listed some strong reasons below:

  • NSIT has a smaller batch size which in turn means the level of competition faced by the students is comparatively low. You can get good job profiles way more easily than at an institute with a higher intake like DTU.
  • NSIT awards you a degree from DU, one of the most globally recognized and reputed universities. This helps you pursue higher studies in foreign countries easily. 
  • Quite a few NSIT students are able to secure high packages in top companies like Facebook while DTU because of its large batch size has only a few that get 1 cr+ packages.
  • One of the major reasons why someone would prefer NSIT over DTU is that it’s quite difficult to get a hostel in DTU especially if you are a resident of Delhi.

If you consider these reasons valid, go for NSIT instead of DTU.

Is it worth doing an M.Tech from DTU?

TS
Tanya Sharma Posted On : July 5th, 2023
Studied at Delhi Technological university

Whether or not you should consider doing an M.Tech from DTU depends on several factors. These factors are-

  • Brand Name- If you wish for the tag of a prestigious institution to be attached to your degree, DTU is the right choice for you. My sister had done her B.Tech from a college that is not well known, so she decided to go for her M.Tech from DTU to get the DTU tag.
  • Placements- DTU has a good placement record. This is especially true for the CS and IT branches.
  • Poor Research Environment- If you wish to go for research, DTU will disappoint you. The faculty will only be there to ‘support’, you will be on your own. The research facilities are also not up to the mark. The seniors are helpful. Overall, the environment is not very nourishing for research endeavors.

Even the teaching is not up to the mark.

  • Other options- An M.Tech degree from DTU is equivalent to an M.Tech degree from a good NIT. If Delhi is the place for you, you should choose DTU or the nearest good NIT. 
  • Preparation-  If you wish to go for teaching as a profession, you will get ample time to prepare for your NET/JRF during your M.Tech from DTU.

Even if you wish to go for government jobs after your M.Tech, you will get ample time for your preparation.

For hostel facilities, food, location, library, and study environment, DTU is a good university.

You must consider all these factors before choosing or not choosing DTU for your M.Tech. Overall, DTU is a prestigious and well-known university.

How was your experience of DTU Spot round?

NT
Nivedita Trivedi Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Studied At DTU, Delhi

My friend describes her DTU spot round experience as the most surprising and unexpected incident of hers which she is unable to forget to date.

After her average Boards score, she had little hope for selection. Based on the previous cutoff she would get PIE in DTU but she found out that there were only 3 seats for PIE in DTU for GNGNO and they were all opted as the spot round proceeded to 12K. She then thought of getting an MPAE in NSIT although she wasn’t very sure. 

After much anticipation and research, she was called up by the committee conducting the spot round and was asked to choose from PCT in DTU or MPAE in NSIT. She happily selected MPAE in NSIT as it was related to Mechanical. After losing all hope she ended up with a good branch and a great institute.

Why would you prefer DTU over IIT?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

If you have an average rank but want to get a decent branch then DTU is the best option especially if you are looking forward to the excellent exposure offered in Delhi. A plethora of opportunities are available here and you can intern all through the year. 

Varanasi, Kharagpur, or Roorkee have very few startups and you won’t be gaining the kind of exposure you will be getting here. Additionally, you can avail the benefits of a metro city like better placement opportunities.

Another major reason why you should choose DTDU over IIT is the diversity of the alumni of DTU. You can find DTU alumni literally everywhere from government, PSUs, and startups to high posts in big private companies. Some go for IAS, and IES or are pursuing MBA or MS abroad. The alumni pool is therefore versatile so you can get inspired to pursue a variety of careers rather than restricting yourself to Engineering only. 

However, it’s important to note that the brand value of IITs, their global recognition, flexible curriculum, and excellent faculty pool can never be compared to DTU.

How good is Delhi Technological University?

TS
Tanya Sharma Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Studied at Delhi Technological university

Good is a very generic term. Good in terms of what and which branch? Well, the answer to every criterion and branch is different. However, I have tried my best to cover the major parameters to determine the worth of DTU

  • Brand Name: DTU has an average brand value and is only popular in Delhi NCR, Punjab, Haryana, and parts of UP. It is well known among engineering aspirants, and recruiters but is not as recognized as NITs and IITs. 
  • Infrastructure: DTU has a great infrastructure with a lush green campus and top-notch campus facilities. The library is well-stocked, the classrooms are decked with modern facilities and DTU also has great sports facilities. 
  • Hostels: The accommodation facilities are somewhat miserable here and some of the hostel buildings are in pathetic condition with damping seepages, falling plasters, and broken windows. The mess food is average and canteens also have a limited variety. 
  • Quality of Education: Academics is where DTU fails miserably. DTU has obsolete pedagogy and curriculum that is irrelevant to the recent trends in the industry. Most of the teachers have little interest in teaching and examinations are a joke here. Some exceptionally good teachers help you in writing research papers and securing internships.
  • Crowd: The 2 major aspects that make DTU worth it is its good location and the quality of the crowd it attracts. You will find people with diverse ranks owing to the Delhi quota and the reservations. The huge diversity in the ranks brings a lot of personalities together. 
  • College Life: Life at DTU is very vibrant and dynamic with many ongoing activities and events conducted by societies, student teams, and extracurricular clubs which help the students pursue their passions.
  • Placements: The placement scenario of DTU is great especially that of computer-related branches or circuit branches. However, branches like environmental engineering or biotech don’t have very good opportunities.
  • Higher education: Every year DTU students get admitted to top graduate and MBA programs in reputed universities like Ivy League, MIT, UT Austin, University of Michigan, IIMs, XLRI, FMS, ISB. 

How good DTU is, depends on what you are expecting from it!
