Abstract
The article describes the approach followed by the Devasthal Time Allocation Committee to evaluate observing proposals to the Devasthal Optical Telescope (DOT) over the period 2020–2023, the results of the time allocation process, and some statistics of the proposals and final time allocation. It also provides some suggestions to the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences that aim to improve the DOT science output and the quality of observing proposals, as well as suggestions to DOT proposers to help improve their chances of obtaining DOT observing time in the future.
