 FUCCHA HANDBOOK : A FRESHER’S GUIDE TO DTU

A new journey of your life is already on your doorstep. College is all about exploring things
and enjoying yourself to the fullest. At the same time, one should not forget that we are
here to build our careers, hence devoting enough time to your studies is essential. The
change of environment can be overwhelming and appropriate guidance is required to give
you a head start. Go through the academics section below, we hope it will help you gather
the required momentum.

Is CGPA important?
Many of you must be wondering about the importance of the cumulative grade point
average.
Never listen to any advice along the lines of “CGPA is not important” or “CGPA zaroori nahi
hai.” Maintaining a CGPA of 8.0 or above is considered good and at times essential, for both
good placements and internships. Having a decent CGPA is the bare minimum that
everyone in the college can do to develop a good profile.
Companies often hesitate to accept the application of a person with active backlogs in
his/her CV. Most companies have a cut off of 8.0 CGPA (and above) for internships and 7.5
CGPA (and above) for placements. Also, note that the cut off for internships is higher than
that for placements, so you should work hard in order to maintain a good CGPA in your 1st
and 2nd year to get an internship in a reputed company in your 3rd year.
Maintaining a decent CGPA is not tough if you are organised and regular in your academics.

Is 75% Attendance necessary?

While learning in college is not just limited to classrooms, it is important to attend classes,
both for attendance and knowledge. Though exemptions could be made under special
circumstances, it is always recommended to maintain a minimum of 75% attendance in
order to avoid detention, especially after the introduction of the Attendance App, which
marks real-time attendance via Bluetooth. Also, having a good attendance gives you an
edge over others in both written examination and internal assessment.

A Guide to FEC
DTU provides its students with a variety of Foundational Elective Courses(FEC) to choose as
per their interests. Each FEC carries 3 credits and each student has to complete 4 FECs, one
each in the first four semesters. It is compulsory to take environmental science as one of
these 4 FECs. FECs are allotted on a first come first serve basis at the time of registration.

number of group activities are conducted in the classroom which include group
discussions, extempore, parliamentary debate and much more.
5) Technical communication

definitely going to excite you and can keep the musician in you alive, irrespective of
your hectic schedule. With only practical examinations, one can score well and at the
same time enjoy oneself to the fullest.
The FECs have been introduced recently and are provided to build a strong value-based
foundation for your personality. Choose them wisely and explore your interests or develop
new ones.

Learning Outside Classroom

It is neither necessary nor possible to learn everything within the four walls of a classroom.
For a student of professional degree, it is the need of the hour to learn enough from
outside sources. In developing the required skills, it’s become to get oneself acquainted
with the environment outside the classroom. One may opt for one of the following sources:
• Online Courses : There are many online sources available where one can enrol in a
free or paid online course. Udemy (for coding and allied fields) and NPTEL (for core
branches) are quite useful. Other platforms, where one can test his/her skills are also
available.
• Offline Courses: One can also get enrolled in some offline course. Various institutions
like Coding Ninja, Coding Blocks etc. provide various courses for students.
• Workshops/ Seminars: A large number of free and paid workshops and seminars are
organised by various societies or college administration. The theme could vary from
personality development and career counselling to machine learning and artificial
intelligence.

Internships and Placements
Internships and placements play a major role in your career building, hence having the right
knowledge and appropriate guidance right from the beginning is important. This section will
help you clear most of your doubts.
Minimum number of internships:
AICTE has mandated 3 internships, each spanning from a period of 4 to 6 weeks, for
completion of a BTech degree. There are various online portals (like Internshala) and
professional networking platforms (like LinkedIn) which might help one in landing a good
internship. Use of personal contacts for grasping an off campus internship is also quite
common. In addition to this, DTU has also launched a University Student Internship
Programme(USIP) to engage DTU students in various activities of the University.
Work from home
The importance of work from home internships varies from person to person. While it is
not always recommended to opt for an online internship because the prime motive of an
internship is to provide hands on experience and team interaction, one can go with such
internships if the experience can help one to hone his/her skills.
Paid Or Unpaid Internships
A company may offer both paid and unpaid internships. One must remember that
internships, no matter paid or unpaid, provide a new experience and industrial exposure to
students. One must ask “Is it worth devoting my time?”, “Does it really helps me gather the
required skills?”. If the answer comes out to be ‘yes’, he/she must go for it. Don’t do it just
for a certificate and be prepared to work in demanding conditions.
Is coding the only way?
While this technical degree is dominated by coding and allied options, it is not the only way.
Though a lot of tech giants(Microsoft, Google, Adobe) visit the campus for placement and
internships, the opportunities in the Non-Tech sector are also abundant. Reputed
companies (like Deloitte, KPMG, Ernst &Young, PwC) offer non-tech profiles ( data
analysts, business consultants, marketing, finance). Along with this, various companies visit
DTU for placement and internships in the core branches. The list includes automobile giants
like Maruti, Bajaj and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) like BHEL, Indian Oil etc.

Hostel life
This is definitely the best thing to look forward to in your college life. Living in a hostel is the
most enriching experience one could have during college. New city, new friends, new
experiences, new responsibilities are just glimpses of what awaits you. From the anxiety of
having moved to a new city to the nervousness of sharing your room with a stranger, all
fades away in the excitement of the freedom and enjoyment that hostel life offers. From
going to Maggi Baba at 2am to waking up at 3 in the night just for playing hilarious pranks
on your roommates, hostellers have done it all.
Facilities provided at hostels
• Fast LAN and Wi-Fi internet connection to assist you in your studies and yes, for
downloading those pending web series.
• Mess facility to meet your food requirements (though it rarely does). But as a
hosteller, you have abundance of eating options inside campus. From the cheap food
at MechC to post-midnight snacks at Mic Mac, you have access to a variety of food.
• A common room with TV to keep all the hostel residents together during that cricket
match.
• Laundry services to keep your tension of washing clothes aside.
• A Badminton court to provide you with a sporting experience without going to the
sports complex.

Life as a Day Scholar

Not everyone in the university is fortunate enough to get a hostel, especially Delhiites. But
the life of a day scholar is no less exciting. You have both the privilege of a comfortable stay
at home and yet get to enjoy every second that you spend in campus. The thrill of a night
stay in the college during fests or a long drive with friends, day scholars have a lot of
experiences to add to their kitty. From the excitement of coming to college to catch a
solitary glimpse or just chilling with friends on the day of mass bunks, day scholars fill their
baskets with enough sweet memories and tales worth recounting.

Interaction with Seniors
Is Ragging Persistent?
Any sort of physical or verbal act that is likely to cause discomfort comes under ragging.
DTU observes a strict anti-ragging policy with zero tolerance towards any act of ragging in
or outside campus and hence your interaction with your seniors is likely to be friendly.
There is a dedicated anti-ragging committee, in case of any unfortunate events.
Need for a Senior-Junior Interaction
A healthy senior-junior interaction is always important. In college, a senior is like an elder
sibling who enjoys with you and at the same time guides you towards the best. In such an
alien environment, it is good to have a voice of experience to consult, who will help you
deal with changes on both the personal and academic front. Having the right mentor in
college can make the experience more enriching and fulfilling. From assisting with
academics to helping you out in difficult situations, a right senior is the the best blessing.
Making New Friends
College is the time to make new friends and build everlasting friendships. Socializing is an
important aspect of campus life. Be it your seniors, batchmates, roommates, staff or
faculty, establishing good relations is integral. With such a vast population from diverse
backgrounds, DTU provides you with ample opportunities to network. Societies, fest teams
and clubs provide tremendous opportunities for one to interact with like-minded people.
Your entrance test preparation might have made you cut down on your social life. But now,
it is high time to work on having an active social life. Establishing your peer group is
important in college. Socializing relives the stress of college life, detoxes your body and
rejuvenates you with energy and enthusiasm. That one talk with your bestie or that one tip
from your senior can make your life happier and will drive away the loneliness.
Trying your hands at new things
It is in the college that one can explore his/her interests. Trying hands at new things that
come in the way can help in better discovery of self. DTU campus offers a myriad of
opportunities from dance, drama to debating and photography. In your first year, you have
enough of free time that must be invested in finding your passion. Just give a try to the
various things happening in the campus and find out what suits you the most.

Page 15
 FUCCHA HANDBOOK : A FRESHER’S GUIDE TO DTU
Taking Care of your Health
Eating Healthy
Amidst all the enjoyment, it is likely that one does not give due emphasis to what he/she
eats. Many times, one does not maintain a proper diet. Opting for healthy eating habits will
not only help to revive your metabolism but will also control your hunger and boost your
energy.
• Have breakfast daily. Even if you wake up at lunchtime, begin your day with a healthy
meal. If you don’t have time for a “sit down” breakfast, keep healthy items in your
dorm room for on-the-move snacking.
->Oatmeal packets
->Toned milk which is easily available at Amul store.
->Fruits (grab one from the dining hall to save as a snack later)
->Nuts (such as cashews, almonds and walnuts)
• Grab on some healthy evening snacks so that you don’t feel too hungry during
dinner.
-> In evening you will get various snacks at the hostel mess like tea, pastries ,pakoras,
bread pakora, samosa etc.
->Snacks are also available in the canteen.
->Eat on some fruits as a healthy option.
->Soup packets that can be prepared with hot water are also available
Staying fit
The lush green 164 acres campus can never let your fitness ebb. Though you need to walk a
lot for reaching the classrooms or while going to the labs, indulgence in physical activities is
important. Some of the facilities provided are:
• A large Sports Complex with outdoor and indoor sports facilities.
• 2 fully furnished and well-equipped gyms along with some open air gyms.
• Special arrangement for yoga.
Along with physical fitness, a special emphasis on mental fitness in our hectic college
schedules is also important. A lot of sessions are organised on meditation and breathing
techniques. Having a good peer group can help you detox and rejuvenate.

 FUCCHA HANDBOOK : A FRESHER’S GUIDE TO DTU
Handling the newly found freedom
Adjusting to New Environment
For most students, entering college is a terrifying and overwhelming experience. It is when
the fear of unknown is the greatest fear of all. The transition from school to college is a
phase to prepare yourself to take responsibilities. One must not forget to keep themselves
away from bad company and should work on becoming better versions of oneself. If you
are caught in any difficult situation, feel free to talk to any of your friends, seniors or
faculty.
Managing finance
College life can be very exciting but at the same time it can burn a hole in your pocket. For a
teenager who has just stepped out of school, managing monthly expenses can be
challenging. Lavishly spending in the first few days can make you run out of money towards
the end. Keep a track of your expenditure. Sacrificing one ice cream during summer
evenings or a coffee instead of a cappuccino will go a long way in helping you save on food
expenses. Planning a trip with friends instead of a solo one can not only reduce the
expenses per head, but also help you develop strong bonding.
Staying safe
Staying safe in and around campus is important. As you enter this stage of independence,
your safety becomes your responsibility. The CCTV surveillance and dedicated security force
ensure that every student of the university remains safe. With special emphasis on girls’
security, a large women security and police force is deployed in the campus. Apart from the
University’s vital role, a student must stay careful about his/her choices and decisions.
Staying away from addictions
Being naive and young, many students indulge in habits like drinking, smoking and taking
drugs which can be life threatening. For a vulnerable hormonal teenager, it is likely to get
addicted to these things. You may or may not realise it sooner, but such addictions can
destroy your life. One must strictly avoid the company that promotes these harmful
activities. Don't let peer pressure affect you and keep such addictions at bay. Ask your
seniors for help if someone is forcing you into it.
