I still remember the time when I had just cleared my JEE exam and JAC forms were out for choice filling. Just like every other engineering aspirant, I was also an oblivious child having little idea as to which college and branch is to be chosen. I clearly remember browsing “Which college is best for pursuing BTech?” for hours put together, asking my doubts on “Quora”, making comparisons between various premier institutions providing education in engineering, that's when I came across “Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical Universities for women”, My college!!

However, I couldn’t have solely depended upon online reviews when it came to my career. I also had many questions lingering in my mind, some of which are: “Is this college best for me?”, “Does this college offer good placements?” , ”What is the scope of learning here?” and yes, specially “Will I be okay in a girls university?”. So, having researched immensely about this esteemed institution during my admission phase, I feel that I stand a good chance to clear all your doubts and myths regarding the college, that will surely help you find an answer to the imperative question instilled in your mind “Why IGDTUW?”.

At the outset, I would opt to give a brief introduction of my college and its evolution into becoming one of the prestigious Technical Universities in the Capital Territory. Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW), is a women's university located in New Delhi Kashmere Gate. It was first founded as the Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology in 1998 as the first woman Engineering College in India. Then In May 2013 it gained autonomy and became India’s first women's technical university established by Govt. of Delhi and rechristened as Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women. It began as a non- affiliating teaching and research University at Delhi to facilitate and promote studies, research, technology, innovation, incubation and extension work in emerging areas of professional education among women.

Now if I would give an insight into the aspect that every one of us is keen to learn about while choosing college i.e. “Placement!”. Well without even a little doubt, I would confidently say, that if you are looking for good placements, then IGDTUW is just the right place for you! This year highest package offered was 60 LPA by Google and average salary package went up to 19.5 LPA. Top companies like Google, Linked in, Amazon, American Express, Microsoft and many more visited campus this year and these graphs are increasing every year. To compound the above achievements, we have The Training and Placement Cell team of IGDTUW which is consistently striving to enhance the quality and quantity of the placements in the university by organizing industrial visits for students, training seminars, conferences and expert lectures to help prepare them for opportunities that awaits them.

The university aims to foster an environment for excellence in professional education for women and ensure their active participation in the field of Engineering, Science, Management and Technology. IGDTUW is well known for its best teaching rating and excellent research records. University has also launched its first global not-for-profit global organization out to champion the success of Women in Big Data to increase women’s representation in Big Data. The University has set up the “Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence” with the grant from the Department of Science and Technology (DST) within the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India.

IGDTUW being an all women university majorly focuses on emancipating women through pursuit of knowledge enabling them to gain equal status in society through realization of their rights and responsibilities, providing best support, facilities and offers not only in technical domains but also in entrepreneurships and research fields.

IGDTUW has also been ranked 5 under “Top emerging engineering Institutes”. It aims to make India a Knowledge Society and Knowledge Economy by empowering the women of our country. So in My opinion, Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for women is the best university for budding female Engineers to groom their skills into expertise in various fields of science, increasing chances of their indulgence in and soaring great heights in the technology governed world of ours!
