    On All Courses
    Q:   Can I get DTU with 80 percentile in JEE Main via JAC Delhi?

Therefore, it is very difficult to predict the exact cutoff and give an exact answer to this question.

    A decent college to learn design, if not IITs.
    Placements: The design course is new in the university, so the placements are low, but the alumni network is pretty good, which might help in placements. The highest package was gained by Salesforce for about 24 LPA, and the lowest was around 10 LPA (I'm not sure of the lowest one). The top recruiters are Snapchat and Salesforce. People get pretty good internships on campus; most of them also get internships in October when Adobe comes to hire. The roles are UI/UX designer and visual designer.
    Infrastructure: The department is decent since it's DTU. The labs and classrooms are well-furnished, and there is AC in every classroom. The library is good but has very few books for design as it’s not IIT, obviously. Also, the management system is pretty bad when it comes to the hostel. Firstly, they have a scheme that gives priority to out-of-Delhi students; still, many outside Delhi students are not getting hostels. Also, some hostels are non-AC, like for girls.
    Faculty: Teachers are good and knowledgeable, but most of them are guest faculty. However, they teach pretty decently and give assignments and activities related to our course, so it is quite good. I would rate the teaching quality as 7 out of 10. The semester exams are pretty decent, as the college has written exams for us, which are pretty easy.
    Other: The UI/UX design program is pretty good, which is why I chose this course, and the industry is also growing. The events and fests are pretty good, and we are given a TAship for about 12.5k per month, which is pretty good.

    The drop out rate at DTU keeps on changing. Right now it is not very high but there are various reforms that DTU is bringing which may or may not be liked by students. Overall, it is one of the top universities where students secure good placement opportunities.
