AIEEE high rankers throng DTU for admissions

Delhi: Delhi Technological University (DTU), formerly Delhi College of Engineering, has completed its first counseling with all the seats getting filled in the General category for both Delhi and outside Delhi region.

After the implementation of the Other Backward Classes (OBC) quota, the total number of seats in 14 B.Tech courses of DTU has increased to 1128 from the original intake of 910.

Since 85% of the seats are reserved for Delhi candidates, there are 959 seats available for Delhi candidates and 169 for those belonging to outside Delhi region. Out of these, 551 seats were in offer for the Delhi (open-general) candidates. All seats under the Delhi (Open) category have been filled during the first counseling itself, with the last seat filling at the All India Engineering Entrance Test (AIEEE) All-India Rank of 11969.

Similarly, there are 98 seats offered for the outside Delhi (open - general) category, which have also been duly filled, with the last seat filling at the rank of AIEEE All-India Rank of 3895.

The filling-up of seats at such high AIEEE rank indicates the popularity of DTU. High quality education, industrial linkages, culture of innovation & research right at an undergraduate level and excellent placement records (683 job offers for 460 eligible students in 2009-10) has made DTU a sought after institution for higher education.

At present, there are few seats available under the SC/ ST and OBC categories for both Delhi and outside Delhi students. However, since the university has provided time till August end to withdrawadmissions, there is a possibility that some seats might become vacant by second or third counseling even in the General Category.

If a candidate withdraws their admission before the due date for withdrawal, they need to pay only Rs.1000 as processing fee and their entire fee will be refunded. In case a student appears for the first or second counseling but the seats are unavailable, they are eligible to appear for the subsequent counseling. The second counseling will begin from August 16.

In case any seats remain vacant even after second counseling, they will be allotted to students during the third counseling, scheduled for August 30-31, for which all eligible candidates are entitled to appear.

In view of continuation of 7.5% ST and implementation of 15% OBC reservation, the revised Counseling schedule for ST, SC and OBC candidates of Delhi region, who have applied for B. Techadmissions in DTU, will be held on July 29 and 30.
