How good is 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!
