    Is it worthy to do M.Sc. in BT from DTU?
    Placements: I pursued M.Sc. . from BT. After this course generally, students prefer to go outside of India to do research or become scientist in Agriculture, living organises, etc. That the highest placement in 2023 is near about 26 LPA, the lowest is 4 LPA and average is 8 LPA. So It's better to prefer go outside of India, also there is less chances of getting internship after doing M.Sc. . in BT.
    Infrastructure: The labs and equipment of BT are well managed. The classes and labs are fully acified and wified. I live in VLB hostels it's 1 or 2 or 3 seater. It also have a AC also. We has a sports complex that has badminton court, Cricket, football ground. In my hostel we also have Indoor space where we can play TT.
    Faculty: The teachers of BT are highly qualified. They are graduated from IITs. They teach us very well they explain us each and every point. It is quite easy to pass BT semester because if we understood concept than we can solve any type of problems. Also BT is easy it's like Biology as we studied in 10th.

    Students also asked

    Q:   Is there an entrance conducted by DTU for admission?

    A: 

    No, DTU does not conduct any entrance exam of its own for admission to any of the UG, PG or doctoral-level courses. Admission for the flagship BTech programme is based on JEE Main scores and the entire process of counselling are conducted by JAC Delhi. Further, DTU admission to all the remaining courses is mostly based on national/ university-level entrance exams, such as UCEED,  GATE,  CAT,  MAT and CMAT, among others. However, there are a few MBA specialised courses and BBA, admission to which is offered based on the past qualifying exam  (UG level) followed by an interview round. 

    Q:   I have scored less than 60% in 12th boards. Can I get admission for B.Tech at DTU?

    A: 

    To be eligible for applying to BTech admission at DTU, candidates must meet the minimum eligibility criteria specified by the university. For BTech admission, a candidate must have passed Class 12 with minimum 60%  aggregate with PCM and English Core as subjects. The minimum aggregate for various reserved categories is 50%-55%. Hence, whether the candidate is eligible to apply for BTech admission at DTU depends on their reservation category.

    However, meeting the eligibility criteria does not gurantee admission at the university. The seat allocation is based on the applicant's score in JEE Main, followed by the JAC couselling. In case a candidate fails to secure a seat for BTech at DTU, they can check out other colleges offering ofline and online BTech courses.

    Q:   Can I get admission in DTU through JEE Mains with 76.98 percentile?

    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
    • Category under which admission is sought

    Therefore, it is very difficult to predict the exact cutoff and give an exact answer to this question. Students can, however, use this college predictor created by Shiksha to know the college they can get with their JEE Main score.
