Overview
Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology (DCRUST) is a state university located in Murthal, in the Sonipat district of Haryana, India. The university is named after Deenbandhu Sir Chhotu Ram, a noted social reformer and statesman from the region.

As a state university focused on science and technology, DCRUST offers programmes in engineering and allied disciplines and functions under the framework of the Government of Haryana.
