Delhi College of Engineering, Delhi

Delhi Technological University (DTU), sometimes referred to as DelTech, formerly known as Delhi College of Engineering (DCE), is a government university located in New Delhi, India. It was established in 1941 as Delhi Polytechnic, and was under the control of the Government of India.The college has been under the government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi since 1963 and was affiliated to the University of Delhi from 1952 to 2009.In 2009 the college was given a state university status thus changing its name to Delhi Technological University.

It offers courses towards Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.), Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech), Master of Engineering (M.E.), Master of Science (M.Sc.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Master of Business Administration (M.B.A) and contains 14 academic departments with a strong emphasis on scientific and technological education and research.

Campus

Delhi Technological University(Formerly Delhi College of Engineering) operated from the Kashmiri Gate campus in the heart of Old Delhi until 1989, when construction began at the New Campus at Bawana Road in May. Moving of operations from Kashmere Gate to Bawana Road began in 1995, and the new campus formally started instruction for all four years of study starting 1999.

The new campus is a lush green campus well connected by road.Facilities include a library, a computer center, a sports complex, eight boys' hostels, three girls' hostels, and a married couples' hostel. The campus has residential facilities for faculty and staff. The campus has an auditorium and an open air theater.

Admissions

The admission towards a full-time Bachelor of Engineering degree in DTU is through the JEE MAINS from 2013 conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education. 85% of the seats are reserved for students who pass from schools in the National Capital Territory of Delhi or Delhi region. The remaining 15% seats are for candidates from outside the Delhi region and are admitted on the basis of All India merit Rank in JEE MAINS.Prior to 2010 the admission to the 85% NCT seats were based on a Common Entrance Exam (CEE) which has now been scraped.

Admission towards a postgraduate degree is based on performance in the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) qualifying exam, followed by an interview.

Admissions in MBA program are based on Common Admission Test (CAT) exam, followed by a group discussion and an interview

Academics

Courses are offered towards Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.), Master of Technology (M.Tech.), Master of Science (M.Sc.), Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.). Core engineering courses are in Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, Information Technology, Mathematics and Computing, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering and Civil Engineering, a Bachelor of Engineering degree is also granted in Production and Industrial Engineering, Engineering Physics, Biotechnology, Environmental Engineering, Polymer Science and Chemical Technology.

Courses in Nanotechnology, Optical Communications, and Software Engineering are part of the college's focus on industry specific research.

Research

Students participate in projects such as design and development of a Formula SAE car, SAE Mini Baja, Hybrid Car, solar car, unmanned aerial vehicles,  innovative embedded devices appreciated worldwide and setting up a plant for manufacturing Biodiesel. However, the University's SAE ventures have been mediocre at best, subjected to ridicule from the international judges; and definitely not living upto the expectations of DTU(formerly DCE) being the best in Asia-Pacific for Mechanical Engineering.

Pioneered by the Defianz Racing team participating in the Formula Student competition, many student teams collaborate with universities from other countries and actively participate in international and national competitions. The college also came up with the development of a Personalised Mover - Mitra,.Delhi College of Engineering is one of the TIFAC COREs (Technology Information, Forecasting & Assessment Council's Centres Of Relevance & Excellence) in Fiber Optics and Optical Communication. Also, Students of Delhi College of Engineering have made it top-15 Worldwide slots in the Microsoft Imagine Cup 2007 and 2008

The technical team, UAS-DTU has been exceptionally successful, designing and building a prototype UAV, the Aarush X-1 with funding and mentorship from Lockheed Martin, USA. It also stood third in the AUVSI Student Unmanned Air System (SUAS) Competition,2012.

The campus at DCE has been proposed as one of the sites for the Delhi Government's plan of creating Delhi a Research and IT hub. A Knowledge Park at DTU has been set up as part of better infrastructure for Delhi.

DCE had been selected by Intel Technology Pvt. Ltd. to join Planet Lab Consortium that has the world's top universities and industrial research labs like Princeton University, University of Washington and NEC Labs as its members.

DTU organises various events/conferences/seminars throughout the year so that students from other Engineering institutes/organisations can also get benefited. The SAE Collegiate chapter of DTU organises such various events. DTU recently organised a National level workshop on Automotive Engineering & Latest Technologies in association with ParaMek Technologies, New Delhi which was attended by more than 350 students from various colleges throughout the nation.

Scholarships and awards

Scholarships are available for students beginning their first year at the college, which are awarded on the basis of their performance in subjects. Another award is given to two final year students on the basis of merit, sponsoring their tuition for the purpose of pursuing MBA at the Raj Soin College of Business, Wright State University.

Rankings

The college has been ranked #11 by the India Today Best Engineering colleges 2012, #9 by the Outlook India Top Engineering Colleges of 2012 and #12 by the Dataquest India's Top Engineering Colleges 2011. In the limited participation CSR-GHRDC Engineering Colleges Survey 2011 it was ranked #3.
