Remarks
There are a lot of extracurricular activities that students can take part in for example there are around 7-8 concept cars made each year each with a different team.
Entrance Preview
CEE (DCE) - Rank 732I don't remember how much I scored. I gave IIT as well, cleared the screening but couldn't clear the mains (the old format in 2005) I opted the college because of its repute and the beautiful campus.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum was a bit old, and wasn't updated since 1970 I guess but some of it was still relevant, although we would have liked if they made changes often to the course.
Internships Opportunities
Students have to look for their own internship. It's compulsory and the internship report carries marks as well, but students have to go out, pitch themselves to organizations and grab an internship themselves. College faculty would help only in the case that you are not striking any luck with anyone else.
Placement Experience
Placement season is superb. 3-4 phases I think, according to the bigness of the companies. All major organizations including Google, Facebook, PwC, Deloitte, etc. are invited for the placements and they take a few students each year giving them one of the highest packages in the industry, across India.
College Events
As far as I remember, there was 3-4 college fest, A technical fest - TATVA, A cultural fest - ENGIFEST (Indian Ocean, Euphoria, etc. performing each year), Junkyard Challenge, Hostel night (the farewell party to the graduating seniors), Freshers' night (welcome party for the new joinees) there were more, but they weren't official. Hostel room events.
Fee Structure And Facilities
Very feasible at least it used to be when I was studying it was around 20k per year or something similar. I can't remember properly but it was way less than other colleges, since our college came under the delhi university.
Fees and Financial Aid
It used to be a government (under Delhi University) college at the time I was studying. It was until 2010, I guess, when it became a private university. So, at the time it was under the DU, the fees was anyway very less (around 20k per semester or per year, I can't remember properly) compared to other reputed engineering colleges. There were scholarships as well according to merit.
Campus Life
The campus life was superb the hostels could have been better and the teachers could have been younger, but just the hugeness of the 170 acres campus was mesmerizing enough. As they say, if you visit DCE, stay over for the night and the amphitheater (the open air auditorium) would just steal your heart away.
Hostel Facilities
Hostel structure is never nice, it's always the friends we make and the nights we spent studying hours before exam is what makes the hostel happening the mess food was manageable. Although, there was a night mess, which used to open after 11, and that was just brilliant alloo parantha with generous butter.
Alumni/Alumna
I am still in touch with most of them even after 7 years that's how strong the alumni network is there are regular alumni meets. A number of start-ups have come up owned by our college's alumnus. Anywhere, anytime if someone needs a help on any damn topic in the world, there is at least one alumnus who has went through the same problem and is ready to help.
Exam Structure
Exams happened twice a semester (6 months) a mid-term exam that carried 30% of the marks and the end-term exam that held the rest 70%. They were difficult, not because they were set high on difficulty level, but because we didn't study properly.
Faculty
Faculty was nice some were strict on timings, some were just chill a normal engineering college faculty as you may call it young teachers less, old ones more.
