My JEE Mains rank was good enough to get me a seat at SVNIT for B.Tech CSE. I finally decided to join ICT at DAIICT because-

1. The faculty members have completed their Phds from renowned Indian and foreign universities, and each of them are actively engaged in some research work.
2. The course curriculum is regularly updated, unlike the NITs that keep on teaching the old curriculum for long periods of time without regular updates.
3. ICT is a combination of CSE and ECE. So its curriculum is very broad and rich. This is the reason why more companies prefer DAIICT over SVNIT.
4. Only about 360 students are selected for the B.Tech program of DAIICT every year. This speaks volumes about the quality of students on campus. 
5. A good number of DAIICT students are selected for GSoC.
6. The coding culture is at par with IIIT Hyderabad and top IITs. DAIICT students go on to become ACM ICPC finalists. The environment is perfect for competitive coding, and the students are doing really well on popular competitive coding platforms like Hackerrank.
7. The clubs and societies of DAIICT are very active. There is an IEEE Student branch, with IAS (Industry Applications Society) chapter.
8. There are special interest groups for machine learning, mobile apps, artificial intelligence, etc. There are technical clubs like Programming club, Google Developers Group, Microsoft Students Technical Club, Webkit, etc.
9. Some of the non technical clubs are- the Debate club, the Press club, the Dance club, the Music club, and more.
10. The SBG-Student Body Government is a mediator between the administration and the student community. The seniors of SBG are very friendly and helpful. They can be approached with any problem.
11.  Like SVNIT, the DAIICT campus is also ragging free and very safe for juniors. 

I would recommend you opt for ICT at DAIICT Gandhinagar.

I am a resident of Surat, and SVNIT is very close to my house. During my college admissions, I was in the same dilemma. So I spent about a week at both the colleges to make a more informed choice.

One of the professors at SVNIT suggested that I opt for B.Tech ICT at DAIICT over Computer Engineering at SVNIT. He told me that DAIICT is a better option for computer related branches. Here are some pros of joining DAIICT as a B.Tech ICT student-

1. The placements at DAIICT are comparatively better.
2. Though the NITs have an established brand name, the reputation of DAIICT is better than SVNIT in top companies like Amazon, Morgan Stanley, MAQ, etc.
3. It has a greater number of GSoC qualifiers, and a better environment for Open Source Coding.
4. The environment is superior for competitive coding as well, and students participate in great numbers in online programming contests on platforms like codeforces, etc.
5. A large number of students prepare for exams like GRE, CAT, etc.

Thus, a B.Tech ICT at DAIICT is better in comparison to Computer Engineering at SVNIT.
