    Absolutely satisfied with Fests here, satisfying campus life, great placements.
    Placements: There are alot of courses in both tech and core fields like CS IT, SE (Software engineering), MAC (mathematics and computing), Mechanical, Civil, biotech, Chemical engineering, and some more. I am of SE branch and its my first year here, till date I am very happy to take decision to get into DTU even though I am getting chance to take into top NIT but I have to compromise on branch so I took here only with a good tech branch. About packages:- the highest package- 1cr+ (international) And 45lpa+ (domestic) Avg package- 12lpa.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure of DTU is quite amazing. Labs are well maintained and all items necessary during experiments are always present. Wi-Fi facility is also more than better, you will get Wi-Fi connection in almost 80% of Dtu land. Classrooms for first year are newly builded with projector facility, also senior year classrooms are well builded. Library is well maintained both in clealiness and book support, you don't need to buy books coz you got mostly books in dtu itself to borrow for free. Hostels are triple sharing for first year students and double sharing for 2nd and 3rd year and single room available for 4th year student ofcourse because of privacy. But Delhi students don't get hostels that's why I gave them 4star.
    Faculty: Many teachers are helpful and supportive but obviously everyone you will not get amazing so yes there are teachers who have a great knowledge of their subject but not that much supportive. Course curriculum is revelent upto 80% and rest is not because of students mass bunk or private leave, but if you will get full class with less leaves than ofcourse course will be completed by teacher. First year semester exams are really difficult for those who are here with high ranks (more than 75k) because many concepts students got forget and due to which they face difficulty in understanding new concepts or concepts with higher knowledge, Also first year semester exams are tough for the latest students because of less time allotment in college due to late JEE exams.
    Other: I chose this course because I am getting this only as per my rank, but there is no difference actually in this course and CS/it, so I am having full opportunity of getting into any tech field job. Thing I wish to get better in this and any course is that Maths chem and Physics which are 12th related should be removed and from first year itself we should be taught subjects of our course only. Now talking about fest, societies, and campus life Fests are quite amazing in dtu, one after another fest are going on here every month. Also the engifest that is north-India's the biggest fest which included guest like siddhu moosewala are just awesome. Societies are here in bulk, you will get into atleast one at the end.

    Review of DTU - Delhi Technological University.
    Placements: Placements of our college are the key attraction of it. The average salary package offered is 10 LPA. The highest salary package offered is 60 LPA domestic. Around 500 companies visit our college every year. My plans after getting a degree are to do a well-paid job as a software engineer. Anybody from the science stream is eligible for taking admission in this college through JEE mains who have more than 60% marks on 12th boards. Students can find the application form on the official site of JAC.
    Infrastructure: The food served in the canteen and mess is good and affordable. The campus is well-equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, smart classrooms, and laboratories. It provides a central library with several high-quality books. This college has great Wi-Fi, decent quality laboratories, and beautiful classrooms. Sports facilities are top-notch with football ground, cricket ground, gymnasium, volleyball, kabaddi, basketball, lawn tennis, table tennis, squash, badminton, etc. Our college is huge and greenery, which looks beautiful. The infrastructure can be improved. The hostel facility should be increased and steps should be taken to make it compulsory like IITs.
    Faculty: Teachers are good including experienced professors to contracted teachers all are giving their best to give students knowledge. Some new faculty members are not good, however, regular classes, assignments, and high-quality laboratory ensure a premium educational experience. The course curriculum is made accordingly so that it will help students to understand the subject and do great things in the corporate world. Students may find young teachers in the first year, afterward, there are all old teachers with no technical knowledge and cannot help students with industry-level knowledge.
    Other: This college conducts the best fest in India i.e Engifest.

    Other: It is a 160 acres huge campus. It's an air conditioned campus, which means no sweating in summers. The placements of the college are surprisingly good. There is no ragging in the college. There are so many tech and non-tech societies in the college with the help of which students can get a good exposure in many fields. The people here are amazing. It's worth your lifetime. I love to be here and spend time with my friends. The college ranking is so high that anyone would love to come here regardless of the things that are not provided. What needs to be changed is the faculty, which is not worthy enough.

    Hence, as per the table, it can be concluded that while all 75% scorers will be preferred at DTU, the minimum requirement to get admission and be eligible for DTU admission is comparatively low. 

    Q:   How can I get admission in DTU?

    A: 

    To get admission to BTech at DTU, go to the site of JAC Delhi and register yourself and according to the schedule attend the counseling. On the day of counseling bring all the required certificates as mentioned on the website of JAC Delhi. The list will come out on the website itself and you are done after paying all the fees. The admission is solely dependent on the rank in JEE MAIN. Check all the cutoffs of the previous years before attending the counselling.

    Q:   Can I get admission in DTU? I have not appeared for JEE mains.

    A: 

    The admission criteria for BTech at DTU clearly state that JEE Mains rank is considered for the selection of eligible candidates. Therefore, it is suggested to get qualifying scores at JEE Mains for admission at DTU. Additionally, students are also required to go through the JAC counselling process to get a seat at Delhi Technological University. After the result of JEE Main, JAC counselling for seat allotment is usually conducted in four rounds. However, there are additional spot rounds conducted for vacant seats (if available). 

    Q:   How is the placement at DTU?

    A: 

    The key highlights related to Delhi Technological University placements 2024 are tabulated below:

    ParticularsPlacement Statistics (2024)
    the highest packageINR 85.30 LPA (Domestic)

    Students placed1,900+
    Total recruiters350+

    Q:   Can I get DTU with 80 percentile in JEE Main via JAC Delhi?

    A: 
    Usually, the cutoff for DTU stays around 90, even for the reserved categories. Therefore, getting into B.Tech courses at DTU is difficult with a JEE Main percentile score of 90 or below. The cutoff also goes high and low every year, depending on the following factors: Number of aspirants registered, The difficulty level of the exam, Total number of seats available, total number of applications received for a particular program, and the category under which admission is sought. Therefore, it is very difficult to predict the exact cutoff and give an exact answer to this question.
