Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum at DTU allows students to take different subject for minors starting in the 3rd year, which provides some flexibility in learning However the syllabus has limited focus on technical aspects which is one of the reason why i choose this branch. there is room for improvement in the teaching methods to make the learning experience more practical and engaging and frequency of exam could be depending on the elective chosen . at times the schedule can be 2-3 exam in a single days.
Internships Opportunities
There are numerous companies visiting the campus offering a variety of roles. for tech role such as software engineer , companies like atlassian (89LPA), amazon (30LPA), and uber (35lpa) stand out for non-tech role like data analyst and data science , marketing companies like bain and comapany(14 lpa) while core companies do visit but in fewer number
Placement Experience
Student become eligible for internship starting n the 3rd year when companies begin visiting the campus. however for lower branches like mine[biotech] internship opportunities are almost non-existent unless you secure one off-campus through your own-efforts. For placement in the 4th year, around 300+ companies visit annually the highest often reaches close to 1 cr , but for lower branches CGPA plays a crucial role, The higher your CGPA the better your chances of securing placement. In my branch biotech, out of 75 student,only about 30 get placed. highest package 30LPA and average is approx 10LPA.

Admission
I chose DTU over other options like NSUT's lower branch or IP collegs tech branches. I avoided IP college because it lacks good placement opportunites and a learning focused crowd. A for Nsut it was too far from my home maing it less convenient for me. I don't regret my decision to join DTU but it important for prospective student to know that lower branches are often overlooked during placement OUT of 250 companies visiting the campus , nearly 100 might not allow lower branch student to participate in their recruitment drive
Faculty
Faculty and academics: Good faculty overalll: the faculty at DTU is competent,and I've never felt that there was a shortage of teaching staff ratio PHD student as Instructors: A notable observation is that most classes are taught by PHD student rather than professor mostly. Easy Exam: The examination system is quite manageable. with just 1-2 days of focused preparation, its possible yo score an 8 CGPA or higher

Additionally there is a gym and a park within the premises offering spaces for fitness and relaxation. for recreation outside the campus the nearby area include metrowalk and several other spot for fun and entertainment making it easy for student to unwind after classes
