According to the reviews online, pursuing Mechanical Engineering from PDPU will be a better choice than Nirma University.
Categories | Nirma University | PDPU |
Course Fee | INR 7.24 lakh | INR 9.73 lakh |
Placement Percentage | 70% | 70% |
Highest CTC | 12 LPA | 10-12 LPA |
Average CTC | 5 LPA | 6 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | L&T, Bosch, etc. | Hindustan Unilever, Nayara Energy, etc. |
The placements are also better at PDPU. Nirma University, though more experienced, has deteriorated a lot in recent years, therefore it is better if you go for PDPU to pursue Mechanical Engineering.
It will be better if you go for PDPU for computer science than DDU. One of my friends studied at PDPU and according to him, just like any other college, it also has its fair share of pros and cons.
Pros:
Cons:
Therefore, opt for what suits your career goals and can fulfill them. Make an informed decision after going through every detail properly.
PDPU takes admission through JEE Mains merit rank. They have 50% seats for All India and 50% for Gujarat residents. Getting admission through All India and getting enrolled in a good branch is much easier than Gujarat seats.Students should have a 50% in their academic performance to be eligible for admission.
PDPU admission news comes in the leading newspapers, So you can get information from them or you visit the site frequently in order to get regular updates.
My sister studied computer engineering at DDU. Based on her experience I will recommend you to join DDU. Here are the reasons why you should choose DDU.
So, overall DDU Computer Science will be a great option.
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.
I have some friends at IIIT Vadodara and PDPU, so I think I can give you some information about them.
Here’s a brief comparison of the two institutes.

Now the final decision is up to you.
According to the reviews online and talking to some of my friends, I got to know that both the colleges are really good. Both the colleges have lively atmosphere and culture and also, the faculties are really good and give great placements. You won’t regret joining either of two.
