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 is the better option; doing computer engineering at SVNIT-Surat, Gujarat or b.tech in ict at DA-IICT Gandhinagar, Gujarat?
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-
- The placements at DAIICT are comparatively better.
- 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.
- It has a greater number of GSoC qualifiers, and a better environment for Open Source Coding.
- The environment is superior for competitive coding as well, and students participate in great numbers in online programming contests on platforms like codeforces, etc.
- 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.
How is ICT in PDPU?
PDPU is a good option for pursuing ICT. The course curriculum is designed beautifully. The course structure is such that students get to learn from other resources as well. ICT bridges the gap between CE and ECE. The course outcome is pretty good in the field of technology. The faculties of the department are helpful and cooperative. PDPU placement highlights show the average and highest CTC to be INR 6.09 LPA and INR 25 LPA respectively.
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:
-
That faculty that teaches ICT & CSE in PDPU is well-qualified and experienced.
-
Almost all the teachers are Ph.D. holders in their respective fields.
-
The teacher to student ratio is high for ICT compared to CSE as there are 120 seats in ICT as opposed to 240 seats in CSE.
Placements:
ICT:
-
According to the placement details of 2020, the highest CTC received by the students of ICT was around 9 LPA.
-
Some of the major recruiters at the institute were TCS, Cloud 24*7 lnc, L&T Technology Services, etc.
CSE:
-
Students in computer engineering receive some of the highest placement packages compared to other departments. The highest CTC offered was around INR 35 LPA from Microsoft. The average CTC offered is around INR 6.5 LPA.
-
Some of the MNCs that provide placement opportunities for CSE students are Infosys, TCS, Tech Mahindra, Wipro, Cognizant, Mindtree, etc.
Both CSE and ICT are similar when it comes to fee structure and faculty. The placement rates for ICT students are comparably lower since it is a relatively new course. CSE students have been getting some of the most lucrative CTC packages. However, only choose a course that genuinely interests you.
