Delhi Technological University (DTU) is among the oldest engineering colleges in the country. Formerly called the Delhi College of Engineering, it was set up in 1941 and was accorded university status in 2009. Now, it offers15 undergraduate and 22 postgraduate programmes with a total annual student intake of 2160.

Courses offered

The undergraduate programmes include conventional disciplines such as mechanical, civil and electrical engineering, apart from applied engineering disciplines such as electronics and communication, computer science and engineering, environmental engineering, software engineering, electronics and electrical engineering, automobile engineering, polymer science and chemical technology, engineering physics and mathematics and computing. The postgraduate programmes cover VLSI (very large-scale integration) design and embedded systems, software engineering, computer engineering, microwave and optical communication, polymer technology, power systems, signal processing and digital design, geo-technical engineering, structural engineering, nano science and technology and bio-informatics.

The university has constantly worked towards re-inventing itself by introducing new courses that are industry-relevant and research-driven. As DTU’s founder vice chancellor, Dr PB Sharma, says, “At the undergraduate level, we have introduced engineering physics and mathematics and computing to create a sound science base for our future engineers. DTU has also added an MTech in software technology for Samsung employees, and an MTech in power electronics for DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) employees. Further, this year, the department of electronics and communication has introduced an MTech in robotics and machine design.”

Admission process

Entry to the undergraduate programmes at DTU is on the basis of the Joint Entrance Examination, JEE (Main) and is open to candidates who have been declared eligible for central counselling by the CBSE and have secured 60% or more marks in the aggregate of physics, chemistry and mathematics. For MTech programmes, the admissions will be on the basis of a valid GATE score in respective disciplines. In addition, a candidate must have minimum of a CGPA 6.75 on a 10 point scale or 60% marks in aggregate from a recognised university or any other examination recognised by the university equivalent. For PhD programmes, a screening test and interview will be conducted to select students. Admissions to the MBA programme at Delhi School of Management (which was started in 2009) are on the basis of CAT scores. Although the admission dates for B Tech programmes for 2014-15 have not been finalised yet, it has been tentatively scheduled for the month of May.
