M.Sc. in Biotechnology 

at DTU, Rohini

For admission to most of the undergraduate and postgraduate courses offered at Delhi Technological University, students are required to score 50% to 60% minimum aggregate in their last qualifying degree or course to be eligible. A course-wise list of eligibility criteria for DTU admission is mentioned in the following table:

Course Name	Eligibility Criteria
BTech	Class 12 with 60%
BDes	A pass in Class 12
BBA	Class 12 with 50%
MSc	Class 12 with 50% in Economics
MTech	Relevant UG degree with at least 60%
MDes	4-year UG with 55%
E-MBA	Any UG degree with 60%
E-MBA	UG degree with 50%
MSc	Relevant BSc/ UG degree with 55%
E-MBA	UG degree with 50%
PhD	Relevant PG degree with 55%

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. 

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.

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.

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). 

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.

Good points:

* Placement: The average package for M.Sc. courses is 7 to 8 Lacs per annum, with PPOs and internships available from the final year or 3rd semester onwards.
* Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified, trained, and experienced, with many having PhDs from reputed institutions.
* Curriculum: The curriculum is designed to prepare students for jobs in research, pharmaceuticals, and edtech, covering all necessary topics.
* Infrastructure: The campus is well-maintained, with modern infrastructure, including air-conditioned classrooms, state-of-the-art libraries, and sports complexes.
* Campus life: Campus life is vibrant, with various societies, festivals, and events, providing a diverse student community.
* Hostels: The hostel facilities are comfortable, with options ranging from single-seater to multi-sharing rooms, and amenities like air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and laundry facilities.

Not-so-good points:

* Limited internship opportunities: While PPOs and internships are available, some students might find limited opportunities in their desired fields.
* Semester exams: Some students found the semester exams challenging, requiring dedicated effort to pass.
* Lab facilities: While the labs are well-managed, some students felt that the facilities could be improved.

Overall, DTU seems to offer a good learning environment, decent placement opportunities, and a strong faculty base. However, individual experiences may vary, and students should weigh these pros and cons before making a decision.

Candidates preparing for IITs are only required to appear for the JEE Advanced entrance exam after qualifying JEE Main. Students who who secure above the 98th percentile in JEE Main 2024 Session 2 should start preparing for JEE Advanced 2025 immediately. Those who score between 95th and 98th percentile should focus on improving their JEE Main score by taking multiple mock tests and practicing previous year's question papers. By analysing their strengths and weaknesses, candidates can identify their areas of proficiency and topics where they need improvement. If they can achieve full marks in their practice sessions, they can start preparing for JEE Advanced. However, if they cannot score full marks, it is recommended that they appear for multiple mock test series for more practice.

There is no comparison of IITs with DTU owing to the brand name IITs have for being India's best government Engineering colleges. However, as per the 2023 NIRF ranking released for Engineering colleges, DTU is closely completing with some IITs. A comparison of the similarly ranked Engineering colleges on the basis of multiple components, such as fee and median package are tabulated below:

Engineering Institute	NIRF Ranking 2023	BTech Fee	BTech Median Salary
DTU	29	INR 2.97 Lacs - INR 6.42 lakh	INR 11 LPA
IIT Jodhpur	30	INR 8 lakh	INR 12 LPA
IIT Mandi	33	INR 8 Lacs - INR 10 lakh	INR 18 LPA - INR 21 LPA

NOTE: The placement and fee data mentioned in the above table are sourced from unofficial sources. Hence, it is indicative.

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.
