The Delhi Act to upgrade DCE into DTU has been passed by the Delhi Assembly and has received the accent of the Hon'ble Lt. Governor of Delhi. However, the formal upgradation of DCE into DTU will come into effect only after the notification
by the Government of Delhi to this effect as per the usual procedure. This may happen any time in the next few days. The existing students currently enrolled with the DU shall continue to be enrolled with DU and will be governed by the same syllabi, course scheme and ordinances of DU as applicable to them as at present. The examinations for such students will be conducted as per the practice being followed in the previous semesters. Such students will receive the degree from Delhi University.
The Clause 4(e) of DTU Act protects the interest of the existing students and their continuation with DU.. Once DTU comes into existence and becomes operational, DTU shall launch 4 new B. Tech programs with 240 new intake,7 M. Tech programs (18 seats each) and MBA in Knowledge and Innovation Management. In addition 50 Ph.D scholarships shall also be added including 25 teaching-cum-research fellowships. All this is as per the proposal for increase in intake this year, 2009-10 academic session under DTU., the new branches and new seats will be filled this year. The Modalities in this respect will be decided by the DTU authorities once DTU becomes operation. It is hoped that thenew seats will be available from the current academic session.. The Act of DTU has the provision for constituent colleges and campuses under DTU. As far as NSIT is concerned it is not under DTU at the moment nor there is any plan as far as we are concerned.? I have also clarified under
Serial No. – 4, there will be separate advertisement for the new seats and these will be filled strictly on merit and through admission procedureas decided by the DTU. As far as the OBC quota is concerned, the matter is under active consideration with the Government of Delhi.The admission to OBC and other reserved quota such as SC and ST will be made on receipt of the Reservation Policy from the Government of Delhi. It appears that some mischief mongers are unnecessarily creating
confusion in the student community about the fees. DTU being the University established by the Government of Delhi will follow the norms for fee etc., as decided from time to time in line with other professional Universities such as GGSIPU. There is no proposal to increase the fees of thestudents who are already enrolled. . Yes, the DTU shall provide the updated and innovative
curriculum to its students right from this year. The curriculum of BE courses under DU has not been updated for the last 20 years or so. DTU will ensure that curriculum of its UG/PG program is regularly updated and that the feedback from the students, faculty and our stakeholders is taken into account while revising the syllabus.DTU aims at providing curriculum in line with the very best technical Universities in the India and abroad. We firmly believe that in the new knowledge age, no University can afford the luxury of providing an outdatedcurriculum. The existing students shall continue to be governed by the same course scheme and ordinances and procedures as was being followed in the previous semesters under DU.
