Highlights supporting the above order of preference are discussed below.
Overall Dharmsinh Desai University has the maximum advantages.
For an MBA, KJ Somaiya is the best option among these. It is well recognized in the industry. It also has a locational advantage. As it’s located in Mumbai, it’s easier to get placements and internship opportunities. KJ Somaiya placements 2022 concluded with an average CTC of INR 10.95 LPA. The placement rate is around 98%.
TAPMI is the best among these institutes. If you are among the top 100 students, you can get good placement packages.

You can keep Grate Lakes as your second preference. Both campuses of Grate Lakes offers decent placement opportunities to students. During the 2022 placement, the average CTC stood around INR 11 LPA for the institute.
LIBA and NIRMA University aren’t in the same league as TAPMI and Grate Lakes.
Both Nirma University and LD College of Engineering (LDCE) are highly reputed institutions for IT engineering in Gujarat. However, when it comes to placement opportunities, Nirma University has a better track record than LDCE.
Nirma University has a dedicated placement cell that works towards providing placement opportunities to its students. The university has a strong industry tie-up with leading IT companies, which results in a large number of job opportunities for its students. Some of the top companies that visit Nirma University for recruitment include Microsoft, Amazon, Google, IBM, Wipro, and TCS.
On the other hand, LDCE also has a placement cell that provides placement opportunities to its students. However, the number of companies that visit LDCE is relatively lower as compared to Nirma University. While some reputed IT companies do visit LDCE for recruitment, the number of job opportunities available may be limited.
Therefore, if you are looking for a college that can provide you with the best placement opportunities for IT engineering, then Nirma University would be a better option to consider. However, it is important to note that securing a job solely depends on your skills, knowledge, and performance during the interview process. So, while Nirma University can provide you with great opportunities, it ultimately depends on you to make the most of them.

Whether one institution is better than the other is based on individual discretion. A conclusion must be drawn keeping factors like faculty, academic quality, personal disposition, and expectations in mind.
Absolutely, if you are interested in pursuing civil engineering in Gujarat, then IITRAM is a better option than Nirma and PDPU. There are several reasons for this.
Therefore, if you are an ACPC student in Gujarat, it is a golden opportunity for you to pursue civil engineering at IITRAM.
However, it is essential to note that IITRAM is an excellent option only if you have an interest in core branches such as mechanical, electrical, or civil engineering. If you are interested in computer science, then you should prefer Nirma. On the other hand, if you are interested in petroleum, then PDPU would be a better option for you. LD is also a very good option for those who cannot afford Nirma and PDPU.
It’s difficult to determine which institute is better as the courses are not mentioned for the given college. However, given below are information about the colleges which may help you make the decision.
