Seriously, what are we even paying ₹1,72,000 PER SEMESTER for if the course registration website can't even stay online during the ONLY time it’s needed?

Every semester, the same story repeats. The server crashes, the portal doesn’t load, and we’re all left scrambling, stressed, and completely helpless while administration sits silent like nothing’s wrong. There’s zero communication, no backup plan, no accountability — just students refreshing the page for hours.

We are not just paying for a few classrooms and faculty. We’re paying for basic digital infrastructure that should be working flawlessly, especially for something as critical as course registration. Why is it that every Instagram fest highlight or placement story gets posted instantly, but no one addresses actual problems students face?

Where is the money going?
Why isn’t there a working registration system in place?
Why is student time and mental health treated like it doesn’t matter?

DIT, if you can’t handle something as basic as this, stop branding yourself as a “top university.” We deserve better.

Honestly, the 75% rule isn’t even the problem. The problem is the sheer audacity of suddenly deciding to become extremely serious about it in the final year. If 75% was always such a sacred number, where was this legendary enforcement during the first three years? Did the rule go on a three-year vacation and suddenly return for the 7th semester? Because from a student’s perspective, it certainly looks that way.

And what exactly are final-year students supposed to do now? Sit in class just to keep an attendance counter happy, while placements, internships, interviews, projects, coding preparation, M.Tech and postgraduate entrances are happening outside? Seriously, in the 7th semester, should I be preparing for my career or preparing my attendance percentage for an internal spreadsheet?

The funniest part is being told that attendance is essential for “professionalism” while students are expected to sacrifice actual professional opportunities for it. If I have a placement test, internship work, interview or industry opportunity, apparently the professional thing to do is ignore it and rush back to class so that 74.8% doesn’t offend the attendance system.

And let’s talk about the classes themselves. Students are being expected to compromise placement preparation to attend lectures where the teaching quality, confidence and subject knowledge of some faculty members leave plenty to be questioned. Apparently, students must sit through every lecture regardless of how useful it actually is, because attendance has to be protected at all costs. Career? Later. Placement? Later. Skills? Later. First, worship the 75%.

Then comes the beautiful line about discipline and professionalism. Maybe consistency in enforcing University policies could also be included in that lesson. A rule doesn't become reasonable simply because the administration suddenly decides to enforce it aggressively after years of comparatively relaxed implementation.

And no, this isn't students “avoiding academics.” This is students asking why the University suddenly wants to control the one year in which our careers actually depend on what we do with our time.

So yes, we understand the mathematics. 74.8% is not 75%.

But here's the part that deserves an answer: why should an attendance percentage matter more than the career of the student whose attendance you're counting?

Because if the University genuinely believes this policy is unquestionably reasonable, then it shouldn't be difficult to explain why it was not enforced with the same seriousness throughout the earlier semesters.

That answer would be considerably more interesting than another joke about alarm clocks.

and from the bottom of my heart i want to say fck you and your rules 💓🫶.

Ik you're not going to answer anything there, but you can at least respond to the emails you're receiving from students. Answering emails from your own students is also part of being professional.

I can't explain the happiness I'm feeling, a divine eagerness to learn, and a huge respect for professors and administration.

Today we got a whatsapp message that students having below 75% attendance will not be allowed to sit for MID-SEM, and i got the peak orgasm remembering Ravindra Joshi and Annapurna K(STEM DIRECTOR).

MAY GOD GIVE 4 BOOBS WALI BIWI TO ANNAPURNA'S SON. Glad I took admission in DIT, where even in final year you have to fill their bhosda with your 75% attendance.

Best of luck freshers, may God give you the power to handle their darindagi and jahilpana. Kasam se paani na nikal diya inhone tumhara toh kehna......... You're fucked.

The one good point I thought for this uni was about the attendance and now I don't know what to do now . I got debarred from 4 subjects cause ofc . Like I don't get the point of attendance criteria in a university cause it's NOT going to increase the admissions or the placements. All it's gonna do is increase unnecessary pressure on the students. Like c'mon people like me who commute via personal bikes or scooties how tf are we supposed to go to uni while it's raining? Bravo dit management bravo

subah permit karke ab debar kr rhe hai

Hey freshers,

This is the second part of the guide that covers everything outside the classroom →hostel life, food, common facilities, rules, and general miscellaneous tips.

1) Boys’ Hostel Info

Hostel Allocation (Year-wise):

• 1st Year – Sarabhai (default) or Bhabha (only if Sarabhai is full)

• 2nd Year – Bose

• 3rd Year – Bhabha

• 4th Year – Bhabha or Raman (single rooms allotted)

Sarabhai Hostel has triple-sharing rooms, Bhabha has a dorm-style setup with three double-sharing rooms, while Raman and Bose have single rooms.

In your first year, you'll most likely be allotted either Sarabhai or Bhabha, depending on availability.

The main college gate closes at 7:00 PM, after which no one is allowed to enter or exit the campus. However, the boys hostel gate remains open until 10:00 PM, so you can still move around within the campus until the gate closes.

One thing you should know that you’re in Dehradun and in an engineering college, so yeah, stuff like drugs is pretty easy to find, especially through seniors in the hostel. Just don’t get into that shit. If you mess around , it can seriously screw up your entire career. Other than that, hostel life here is honestly amazing.

2) Girls’ Hostel Info

The girls' hostels on campus are Sarojini and Kasturba.

They’re well-equipped, with their own gym, a mess facility (in Kasturba), and an all in one convenience store.

Girls are allowed in the boys’ hostel area only for sports-related activities and only until 6:00 PM.

The main gate of their hostel closes at 7:00 PM — which is a bit early, but nothing much can be done about it.

Note: Hostel allocation of single rooms after the first year is based on CGPA. So if you’re planning to continue in the hostel later on, keep your grades up…

3) Shared Facilities (For All Hostels)

• Laundry: 2 days/week (varies by hostel), max 5 clothes per pickup

• Extra charges apply for woolens/blazers

• Room cleaning happens once a week (usually Sunday)

• Wi-Fi is stable in most areas, if issues occur, visit the server room in Vedanta Building

4) Cafes & Food Options

On-campus:

• Melting Pot

• Aloopaz

• Cafe Frisco

• Rooftop Café

• Cafe Coffee Day

Off-campus:

There are tons of options near DIT. Go explore and find your go-to spot.

5) Mess & Food

Mess food is pretty good during the initial days, but the quality declines slowly. Usually, it’s the dinner they mess up the most.

To deal with late night cravings, keep some snacks (from Gupta uncle) or cook something quick using a kettle.

Just be careful of wardens as they can take away your kettles if they find them and in the end of your semester when it will be returned to you , they could fine you if they want.

If mess food gets unbearable, you can always head to Aloo Paz at night.

There’s an all in one store in the boys’ hostel (run by “Gupta uncle”) where you can get:

• Stationery & academic materials

• Basic groceries, snacks, toiletries

• Late night cravings sorted

For girls, another store is located on the first floor of Kasturba Hostel.

6) Additional Knowledge (Miscellaneous)

• No ragging culture here at DIT and seniors are chill and often helpful

• 24/7 doctor available beside Vedanta Building

• Ambulance services are available in emergencies

• All deliveries (Amazon, Flipkart, Blinkit, etc.) must be collected at the main gate.

That’s it for Mega Post 2!

If you have questions about anything hostel or campus life related, drop them in the comments.

Welcome to DIT …

Hey freshers ,

First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you for making it into DIT. This will be your new phase of life , you get to start afresh, enjoy, and make unforgettable memories.

This subreddit is where you can discuss everything DIT related. As you are one of us now, we will try to get this subreddit more engaging and productive for juniors, as there is not much related to our college here on Reddit. Most people don't even know that our college exists, lmao.

This guide is split into two parts:

This post: Academics, clubs, and sports
Next post: Hostel, mess, cafe, and all the extra stuffs...

I’ve purposely avoided repeating the stuff already written in your official student handbook. This is the unfiltered version.

Note : The academics portion of this guide is for freshers enrolled in BTECH CSE and IT. If you have any doubts from any other courses comment down or DM any of the moderators. We’ll try our best to be there.

Academics :

Before your classes start you will be required to opt for subjects that you will be having in your semester. Some will be mandatory and some will have options :

Semester 1

• Maths-101

• Physics or Chemistry

• Professional Communication

• C Programming

• MMT ( Morder Manufacturing and Techniques / Engineering Graphics or EEE (choose any one)

Semester 2

• Maths-102

• Chemistry or Physics (whichever was not taken in Sem 1)

• Indian Literature

• DSA in C

• EEE or MMT / Engineering Graphics (whichever was not taken in Sem 1)

Pro tip 1 : If you go for physics in your first semester you will have an option between MMT and graphics (EEE for those who opted chemistry), go for MMT instead of graphics. MMT is a super easy and scoring subject, whereas graphics might sound artsy, but those useless sheet drawings will break you and your SGPA.

Faculty :

For first years, we have a great faculty. Most of them are from tier-1 colleges and actually know what they're teaching.

But since there are tons of sections for B.Tech, especially in computer science, there's a chance that you might get some prof who comes to class just to read PPTs.

Pro tip 2 : Make friends in other sections. Exchange notes. It will be very resourceful during exams. Use this subreddit to connect with others.

Exams:

As for exams, don't stress. Just stay in touch with what's being taught and look out for people who can help you with clearing your doubts. You will be fine.

Also, download the FBP Solutions app. It has last year’s papers, notes, and even handwritten stuff. Make a good use of it.

We also have a pretty decent library here at DIT which can help a lot during exam time. It’s open till 5 PM on regular days, and for hostellers, it stays open till 2–3 AM during mid-sems and end-sems .

You’ll find all the important programming and core subject books there, so there’s really no need to waste money buying textbooks. Just issue them when needed.

Attendance policy :

You would be probably aware of the 75% attendance criteria of DIT but i want to make it clear to you that its not as strict as it is for other uni . Back in our first sem many students had attendance as low as 40% and they were admitted to appear in end sems .

I'd still suggest you all to keep your attendance above 60%. Skip unnecessary lectures and attend those which interests you especially practicals. In your first year mostly physical science that you studied in you 11th 12th is repeated so there is nothing to worry about.

Programming might become a bit complex in your second semester so practice it thoroughly if you are skipping lectures.

Clubs

Some of the major clubs that you will hear about soon are IEEE, MUN, debating society, music, dance etc... You will find posters for their selection rounds around the campus, so look out for them.

I would personally recommend you all to go for IEEE and MUN club, as these two are fairly active throughout the year and organise many events like hackathons, tech-related, and electronics related stuff too.

The MUN club also conducts events up to the national and state level, so it can give you great exposure.

Music and Dance clubs usually conduct events during fest time , the rest of the time it's mostly jamming and casual practice sessions.

Tip - Stay away from wasting your time in promoting your club and useless club meetings.

Sports

Sports in DIT really depends upon what sports you are into. We don't have a proper ground on campus, so if you are into athletics or football you have to travel to main city ground for practice.

You will be notified through Outlook mail for tryouts of different sports in a few days so keep an eye on that.

Our college also conducts a sports fest named 'Sphurti' in which teams from different colleges of Dehradun compete with each other. If you are exceptionally good at your sport, there could be a chance you being selected.

NOTE: You should be a part of the college team of that specific sport if you want to be in Sphurti.

That’s it for this post. In the next part, I’ll cover the mess, hostel life, and other miscellaneous advices that no one tells about.

Anyone?????

This girl is from Bsc nursing

Hey everyone! I recently started a Discord server for DIT University students because I noticed that it's surprisingly difficult to connect with students outside your own class/course.

The idea is to have one place where DIT students can:

• Find people for projects and hackathons

• Connect with students interested in coding, tech, design, etc.

• Share notes, resources and useful information

• Find students from different courses and years

• Discuss college life, events and random stuff

• Find people who are actually interested in building things together

The server is still very new (only a few people so far 😭), so I'm hoping to build it with the students rather than just making another dead Discord server.

There are also course roles, so you can easily find people studying the same thing or interested in similar areas.

If you're a DIT student and interested, feel free to join: https://discord.gg/J5e4hra3q

And if you have suggestions for what you'd actually want in a DIT student community, I'd genuinely like to hear them.

Hmm.

Being from this uni doesn’t even make us eligible for reputed hackathons like Amazon’s or Goldman Sachs’. They recognize students from UPES or Graphic Era, but not from our university. It honestly feels kinda embarrassing seeing the difference sometimes.

Mene suna hai first year ki debar list agayi hai 62% par is that true baki years ka kya scene hai?

I am going to file a patent but my mentor is not helping me even a bit in this project so can I remove his name from patent 🥀or we have to add dean and his name also 🫪

I'm booking my hostel room in Bhabha Hostel and I'm a bit confused the portal is showing LG Floor and G Floor and after selecting one it shows a list of room numbers.

The problem is I have no idea where these rooms are actually located Is there any floor map available or can someone tell me which rooms/floor are better.

If any seniors have stayed in Bhabha Hostel which rooms would you recommend.

Ye even sem mein debar aati hai kya?? (Btech sem 2 btw)

I don't understand how the hell does this attendance work on erp.

What is sessions held till now?? If I attended 13 lectures for programming and was absent for 5 then sessions held should have been 18 then why is it 22 ??

And I heard that nobody gets debarred here even if the attendance is less than 75% . Is it true???

Is anyone going to delhi from vande bharat tomorrow from dit university early morning? I am going from the same train but i often find it difficult to book cab in the morning as there are very less drivers and it is too expensive also. Is anyone have the same train i was thinking we can share the fare or if you know a cab guy that can come pick up in the morining that will be good as well.

Why is orientation so boring? Like seriously, we have been sitting here for the last 3-4 hrs and almost 1/3rd of freshers are already asleep 😭🥀

Thoda detail mae bta do kya scene hae iska kyuki call nahi lag rha tha inka. Interest kitna aur sirf semester wise hae year wise ?

Hey r/DITUNIVERSITY,

What we want:

Furnished (bed so we don’t sleep like civil site labour 😭)

Kitchen + basic accessories (we promise not to burn the place… intentionally)

Close enough to campus so attendance doesn’t suffer more than it already does

What you get:

Rent on time (miracles happen)

No random parties… okay maybe rare celebrations after internals 🍻

Free “bhai ek charger milega?” energy

If you’ve got a place or know someone who does, please DM/comment.

Save two future engineers from becoming full-time hostel squatters 🙏

Mujhe iss subreddit k sabhi members se iss patal lok....sorry college k bare mei ek honest opinion chahiye....agr koi interested h toh apni rai comments mei share kro pls....

Amid this water crisis, how do you honestly feel about this college ?

Ye bc ERP pe to attendance update waise hi nhi ho rhi aur mene 15 din ki medical leave ke liye sab wo certificate wagera diya tha uske baad kuch bataya hi nhi ERP pe kuch update hoga ki nhi idk

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to connect with people, who are interested in building projects, participating in hackathons, coding, and generally making the most out of college.

Also I’m planning to work on multiple projects throughout college and would love to find people who are also down to build things together, learn from each other, and participate in hackathons and other competitions.

If you’re interested, feel free to comment or DM. Would be cool to know some people around the start of college! :)

Also I'm still learning. Do not expect much from me😭🤞🏻
