Congratulations on evolving DCE to DTU.
It is amazing to see how the DCE of early seventies, I went to ;with less than 300 students, has been transformed to such a large and impressive institution of science and engineering. Please convey my congratulations to all of the faculty and staff that has relentlessly worked to continuously improve DCE.

Dear Professor Sharma,
I enjoyed reading the newsletter. Please keep it up and keep sending it to me.
If you were to add something to it, you may add one innovative development by an alumnus in each issue to inspire the present students. To start with, I could send you a news write-up on my Photocatalytic Indoor Air Disinfection Technology which has been commercially available in North America and is now licensed to an Indian company “Thermax” of Pune which will market its first product within a year.
On another topic, I see the news of a 1.1 MW solar plant on Campus. We could help in that. As you know, I have founded a solar power company, Sunborne Energy, located in Gurgaon, which plans to build 2000 MW of solar power in India in the next 5-7 years. Please let me know if you would like me to help.

Placement boom at Delhi Technological University
Consequent upon upgradation of Delhi College of Engineering into Delhi Technological University (DTU), a great number of companies including MNCs and leading world-class Research and Consultancy organizations have chosen DTU for sourcing quality manpower, through campus placements. Almost 100 organizations have already visited the campus of DTU for placements in the 2009-10 academic session.
In this session, around 516 job offers have been made so far to approx. 460 eligible candidates. Even today, India’s leading consultancy company Engineers India Ltd, renowned software company HUAWEI and ZTE Telecom India Pvt. Ltd visited the DTU campus for placements.
Leading MNC’s which have selected students of DTU include Microsoft, IBM, Coca Cola, Sony Research Centre, Bank of America, Mckinsey, Schlumberger, Cisco, McAfee, Samsung Engineering, Deloitte apart from India’s reputed industries like TCS, Infosys, Maruti Udyog Ltd., L&T, Ashok Leyland, Hero Honda, Airtel, Tata Motors etc. Even Public Sector Undertakings including NTPC, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, and Bharat Heavy Electrical Ltd (BHEL) besides Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Indian Navy have made recruitments from DTU, to mention few.
Charge against Delhi University
Delhi Technological University (DTU) has alleged that the protest against its upgradation from Delhi College of Engineering (DCE) was largely because of a misunderstanding created by the Delhi University authorities. In a statement, DTU said that Delhi Polytechnic earlier and DCE later were only affiliated to Delhi University for the purpose of its academic programmes. It was established, funded, run and maintained by the Union government (1941) and later the government of Delhi (since 1963). Neither Delhi Polytechnic nor DCE could be considered as constituent institutes of the Delhi University. This was clear from the original application made by the Delhi Polytechnic to the Delhi University in 1951 on the basis of which it had granted affiliation for engineering and architecture programmes.
The Delhi University had failed to innovate and upgrade its engineering curriculum for the past 30 years, the statement said. DCE, despite the outdated curriculum, had nurtured engineers who had excelled. The DTU Act had taken care to protect the interests of faculty members and students who were enrolled with Delhi University prior to commencement of the DTU Act. The university had also been forced to expel two for indiscipline.
