More information
DU didn't have its own engineering courses since 2018
DU academic council member and varsity's standing committee member Alok Ranjan Pandey said the Delhi Technological University (DTU) and Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT) were earlier affiliated with DU.
However, they shifted to the Delhi government in 2009 and 2018, respectively, he added.
This meant DU did not have any engineering courses of its own, Pandey stated.
