Which is the better option; doing computer engineering at SVNIT-Surat, Gujarat or b.tech in ict at DA-IICT Gandhinagar, Gujarat?
According to my friends at DAIICT, it is definitely a better choice among the two. Considering factors like placement, brand reputation, and coding culture.
The points below give a brief overview of some of the advantages of choosing DAIICT over SVNIT.
- According to some professors of SVNIT itself, DAIICT is a better institute for CSE and IT, compared to SVNIT.
- The overall placement statistics of DAIICT are far better than that in SVNIT, with more high-paying jobs offered in the institute.
- DAIICT doesn’t have as good a reputation as NITs in India. But, in companies like Amazon, MAQ, Morgan Stanley, etc, DAIICT has a far better reputation than SVNIT.
- There is an excellent open-source coding environment in DAIICT.
- The number of GSoC entries from both institutes makes it evident that DAIICT has much more success in open-source contribution.

Therefore, it is clear that DAIICT is a much better choice, especially in subjects like CS and IT. In DAIICT, there is a high exposure in higher studies among students. There is a good environment for competitive coding too in DAIICT. In every notable coding contest from platforms like Codeforces, Codechef, etc, there are at least 30-40 participants from DAIICT.
Which college is better for ICT, Ahmedabad University or PDPU?
For ICT, Ahmedabad University is the better choice. It is an old reputed university. The faculty base for ICT is better there. Along with delivering quality academics, it offers decent placement opportunities. In the recent campus drive, the highest and average CTC offered was 15 LPA and 4 LPA.
One of the perks of joining AU is that you will get to choose any course from any faculty with your core courses, be it Management, Commerce, Arts, Life Science, etc.
Which one is better, PDPU in ICT or PDPU in computers?
Both are excellent courses. Computer engineering focuses only on computer programming. ICT is a blend of ECE and computer engineering. It is perfect for students who are into programming and electronics. The institute offers BTech programs for ICT and CSE and the total course fee is 9.73 lakhs. Admission to the BTech ICT and CSE course is through JEE Main.
Here are some facts for the courses on placements, course subjects & fee structure.
Course Curriculum:
-
Computer engineering mostly involves programming, whereas ICT is a combination of programming and electronics.
- The subjects in the first and second semesters are the same for ICT & Computer Engineering.
-
The course will become more focused on ICT and computer engineering from the third semester with subjects like Data & file structures, smart sensors & IoT, RF engineering, etc in ICT and computer graphics, embedded systems, artificial intelligence, etc in CSE.
Fee structure:
-
Both ICT and computer engineering have the same fee structure.
-
The fee structure for ICT & CSE is INR 2.53 lakhs for the 1st year. The total fee for 4 years will come to around INR 9.37 lakhs (not including hostel fees).
Faculty:
-
