Are you confused about the branch of choice or college? If you want to choose the better institute then you should choose DDU. It is a lot better institute than CSPIT. 

If you are confused about choosing the branch, then I can say that the syllabus for IT at DDU is better than CSE at CSPIT. Also, DDU has a branch change scheme. If you have a decent CGPA, you can change your branch after the completion of your first year. So, you can switch to CE. 

I have a few friends from BVM and DDU and based on the reviews that I got from them, I will suggest you choose the former. BVM is better for Electrical, Electronics, Civil, Computer, IT branches. Here are some of the reasons why you should choose BVM.

• It has the best laboratory in Gujrat for Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering.
• The faculty base for the institute is great. 
• BVM is an autonomous college and they conduct their own examination. Which is better than the bulky syllabus of GTU.
• The alumni association for BVM is quite good. They help students to conduct festivals such as UDDAN. UDDAN is one of the best festivals in Gujarat. 
• The sports facilities offered at BVM are also better.
• There are many well-known alumni of BVM. A.M. Naik is one of them. He is the CEO of L&T. 
• BVM also offers good placement opportunities. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC offered was 4-5 LPA. The highest CTC offered was 12 LPA. 

Overall, compared to DDU, BVM is definitely a better option. 

My brother went to Dharmsinh Desai University. Here are some tips which may be helpful, according to him.

• The sessional examinations can seem a bit hectic at first, but after the first semester, you will get used to it.
• Since the institute focuses exclusively on academics, you get few opportunities to participate in co-curricular activities.
• Attendance is not that big a deal. For labs, you must have an attendance of 80% but for regular classes, 50% will work.
• Try to clear Engineering Graphics in your first attempt. It will be taken up by the Mechanical department. Which is one of the toughest branches.
• Try and perform well at the C Programming (since it would be your subject in both your first and second year) if you belong to the CS/IC/IT/EC department.
• You would have no proper college life to experience at the campus. Most of your time would go into studies.
• Work so hard, so that you do not fail in any particular subject. You would end up suffering in the next semester that follows and eventually, you would ruin the whole year.

Hope this helps.

There are a lot of differences between the Dharam Singh College which is situated in Nadiad and the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Institute of Technology. 

• The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Institute of Technology consists of an NIT tag which is a lot better than the other. 
• Both the colleges furnish the same courses of engineering but getting an NIT tag that is a national institute tag helps a lot. It indicates a brand. 
• Apart from the brand, it has a diverse culture as it welcomes students from all over the country, the exposure and opportunities offered at SVNIT are of the national level. 
• The faculty and placements are also above average at SVNIT.
