May 5, 2010: In a recent survey on Best Engineering Institutions, Delhi College of Engineering (now Delhi Technological University) has been ranked among the top ten engineering institutions of the country. DCE has been placed 9th in the survey after seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) at Kanpur, Delhi, Mumbai, Kharagpur, Roorkee, Madras, Guwahati and BITS Pilani. IIT Kanpur has topped the survey conducted by Ipsos, one of the leading research agencies of the world, which has ranked the country’s top 20 engineering colleges in 10 cities.
DCE has also been placed ahead of one of the IITs at seventh rank for ‘Academic environment’ as well as for ‘Faculty competence’. It has also earned eighth rank for its excellent ‘placements’ and ninth in the segment of ‘Introduction of new courses’.
Commissioned by Zee News and DNA, the survey was undertaken to evaluate the status of engineering colleges in India. It was based on the inputs from leading academicians, faculty members and alumni, and the current as well as prospective students of the colleges concerned. The parameters of the survey were chosen after a lot of research and planning. The history and reputation, admission process, course curriculum, learning environment, faculty competence, infrastructure, foreign exchange programmes, research facilities, laboratories and workshops, hostel facilities, placements, and new innovative courses of the colleges, were among the considerations for ranking the best institutions in engineering in India.
“It may be added that consequent upon becoming a technological University, the focus of erstwhile DCE has shifted to curriculum innovation, strong industry partnership and on seamless integration of science and engineering. Its research and innovations have attracted the leading global brands to collaborate with DTU for cutting-edge research and development,” said Prof. P.B. Sharma, Vice Chancellor, DTU
