DA-IICT Placements

[Based on official information from DA-IICT website]

DA-IICT(Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology) , Gandhinagar is a well-known Information Technology institute.Here is a bit about its placements.

Its flagship UG degree is the BTech ICT(Information and Communication Technology) which is a mix of computer science , electronics and communications disciplines.This fact is reflected by the recruiters it attracts.

The recruiters are classified as "Niche"(those offering more than Rs. 4 lpa) and "Regular"(which offer less than Rs. 4 lpa ).

The BTech. ICT batch of 2005 has 217 students. Another 123 students are in 2 higher degrees.For these students , following statistics have been given:

The no. of job offers going up from 379 to 558 is a good sign , though it is most likely that these offers have come from IT Mass Recruiters , like TCS,Wipro etc.

However , the average package of Rs. 3.1 lpa is not very good ,as compared to a similar IT college(Take a look at the IIIT-A analysis).The highest package of 9.1 lpa would indicate that there are no international placements(which usually are over $50,000 pa).

Here is a list of recruiters:

One can see a mix of IT , CS , Electronics related companies.Exclusive recruiters like ARM , Microsoft IDC,NVidia,Qualcomm,ST Microelectronics,Texas Instruments can be seen.

It is not clear that what salaries they offerred but it is most likely that they were 6lpa+.Note that HP and Motorola are also good companies , but usually they offer just 4-5 lpa.

On the whole , we feel that DA-IICT doesn't seem to have that great on-campus placements as say IIIT-A and IIIT-H.However their ICT course structure is excellent , containing a mix of IT , CS and ECE. Their infrastrcuture , faculty and higher education options(especially abroad) seem quite good.
