Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology - Gandhinagar - Gujarat.
(www.daiict.ac.in)
Thats the name of my institute. It offers a BTech degree in ICT and there are no other streams. The four year course is recognized by UGC. [not from AICTE - Institute administration says that we do not need an approval from AICTE. This is usually not a problem as students have got admission in IITs, IIMs, government services and in other major fields were such things matter. But still, as of now, no one can claim this to be a non-issue in all the fields.]
Almost all the students in their 12th standard who are preparing for engineering entrance exams take AIEEE - the de-facto standard of such exams in India. Admissions to DAIICT are also done on the basis of AIEEE ranks. More details can be found on the institute's website.
This post is sort of an insider's view of DAIICT, aimed at helping those seeking admissions to decide whether they are fit for the college and vice-versa. I have tried to be very objective and the points have lengthy explanations for each of them.
Don't join DAIICT if,
- you are damn sure that you want admission in some top university abroad.
- you are damn sure that you want the highest package offered to freshers anywhere in India.
- your parents take all the decisions regarding your life and its not possible for your to make them see your point (or worse, you don't even have a point).
- hard-work is not your cup of tea.
- you always need someone to goad you on to move forward.
You may still get in your dream university or get that highly coveted job (odds are improving with every passing year, in fact) but don't carp about it and blame it on the college if you don't.
Think of joining if,
- you believe in platitudes like "man carves his own destiny" etc etc.
- you want to learn how to think independently, outside the tutelage of your guardians /peers /professors.
- you like taking minor risks and work to force a favorable result.
- you don't mind taking on the sclerotic administration head-on and have the enthusiasm to make things happen for you in lieu of waiting for them.
Leave a comment if you want to know anything more. Will be glad to help.

Nice insight but I feel u cud also add some personal comments like what u feel abt the college after spending 4 yrs...
one more reason why u cud join DA-IICT is when u don't know where exactly u want to go... U can decide after the first two years whether u like communications or computers or anything else.
