boss, da-iict is always ahead of nirma….
da-iict has much better students, faculty and standards than nirma….
da-iict is known to everyone in india….but no one knows about nirma outside gujarat….

Kiran,
Nirma has good enough reputation in industry outside Gujarat also. You can compare placement history of both the colleges.

Let me provide a detailed comparision of both the institutes taking into consideration various
important aspects:
faculty:
_________
70% of the faculty in da-iict are from IIT Kanpur, Kharagpur, bombay and delhi.
the remaining 30 % includes highly experienced faculty from esteemed institutes like
NIT trichy, BITS pilani, IIIT hyderabad…..you can also find 3 faculty members
from the world’s best institutes like stanford, UC-berkeley and 2 members from NASA….
coming to the case of nirma, most of the faculty members are local gujarati’s from
local institute’s like GEC, gujarati vidya peeth….etc…
board of governers of da-iict include :
Anil Ambani, Sam pitroda (father of indian communications), chairperson of mindtree consulting etc
do you have such an esteemed governing board for nirma…
the directors of da-iict so far :
Arvind kudchadkar (former director - IIT bombay),
sahasrabudhe (former director IIT bombay, former Chief technical officer (CTO) -Global telecommunications Limited)
once just compare them with the directors of nirma….
student quality:
_______________
both the institutes admit students through AIEEE exam…
let me provide the stats of last year admission process from both the institutes..
da-iict : opening AIEEE all india rank - 257
closing AIEEE all india rank - 8240
nirma : opening AIEEE all india rank - 6876
closing AIEEE all india rank - 57994
this itself proves that student quality in da-iict is 50 fold better than that of nirma….
this also shows that da-iict is a much more preferred institute that nirma….
this also shows that both the institues are incomparable…
i am from tamil nadu…da-iict carries a very good brand image in the south..
especially in the states of andhra and tamil nadu…that there emerged new traning institutes that
gave special training for da-iict entrance test (this was when da-iict is not included in AIEEE).
no one there even knew that some institute named nirma exists in india…
infrastructure:
_______________
da-iict boasts of one of the most hi-tech and modern campuses in india…
air-conditioned lecture halls, tutorial rooms and conference halls, 24 hr labs, 18 hr library facility…
separate LAN facility provided to all the rooms in the hostel…
the resources (in labs) to students are in the ratio of 1:1. (in nirma it’s much less)
da-iict has 100 Mbps LAN with 5 Mbps reserved for internet connectivity in hostel, labs, library etc….
da-iict also plans to have a 5 Mbps wireless LAN by the end of Feb - 2007.
very few institutes(excluding IIT’s) in india have such a great connectivity…
(nirma is far behind in this aspect)
every da-iict’ian is provided with smart card which they use it for various activities ….
from important activities like registering the attendance, authentication for LABs and library to
various transastions in book store, canteen etc….
(no such facility in nirma)…
placements ( 2006 passouts):
___________
da-iict has 100 % placement for all the batches of b-tech and m-tech that passed out so far while
nirma doesn’t.
some of the companies that offered highest packages to da-iict students include:
1.ST Microlectronics - 5.9 (world’s no 1 in VLSI)
2.Cadence - 6.8
3.TI (Texas instruments) - 7 (world’s no 3 in VLSI)
4.Samsung -5.5
5.Intel - 6
6.freescale - 5.3
7.Nortal Networks - 6.2
8.CGI - 3.24
8.MindTree consulting private limited -3
10.Interra IT - 3
11.Saba -3.5
12.CDG -3.4
infact TI lists da-iict in the list of elite universities in india.
TI visits only 16 institutes in india in which da-iict is one of them…
CDG (Usability and use interface group) visited only 4 institutes in india - IITb,IITG,NID and IITB
it was surprising to hear that many nirma guys dont even know what TI and STM are….more
surprising is that few of them were comparing placement in TI with a placment in
TCS and infosys….
Sun microsystems and oracle conducted indirect recruitments to the students of da-iict by first
offering them internships and then recruiting them…they offered the following packages
sun- 4.2
oracle - 5.5
2 da-iict students were recruited into microsoft for a package of 6.9 lacs through off campus placements
in contrast, the companies that offered highest packages to nirma guys are
motorola - 3.85
nokia software - around 3.2
with most of the students in nirma settling down for pretty ordinary placements in
companies like TCS, infosys, CTS etc …which visit each and every bull shit engineering college
at every nook and corner of the country…
i don’t know how the author was asking to compare the placement history of both the colleges….
In addition to the above mentioned companies,
others like
yahoo, IBM and microsoft have shown interest to visit da-iict in the second round of placments in January..
with yahoo and IBM confirming the visit..
i dont think any institute will have such a good placement record with only 2 batches passing out so far.
———————————————————————————————————-
da-iict has made it into the finals of the most prestigious technical contest in the world - THE MICROSOFT IMAGINE CUP organised by microsoft…
da-iict was the national winner of this cup and they are now representing india in the world finals. A total of 16 teams from seven institutes across the
world were selected into this. da-iict is one among the seven institutes selected into the world finals…so far, this contest was conducted thrice and
da-iict is the only institute from india to make it into the world finals of this contest so far….
