What are the things I must pack for DAIICT?

What are the things I must pack for DAIICT?


Every day to day and necessary items are available near the campus so don’t worry about that thing, mattress has to be arrange but they are keeping demonstration cum sale on the date of counselling at their departmental stores, which is available at discounted rates than market. Which is advisable because size of the mattress is fit as per the bed of the hostels so it is recommended to buy from them.
Any particular medicine you are taking or been advised by physicians has to be in your medical kit. Other optional suggestions is
1.Table Lamp
2.Wall mirror
3.Medical Kit along with your history of medical diesease. ( If you are alergic to something always keep the medicine for that )
4.Small Lock for your cup board ( take small one don’t buy big lock for your cup board )
5.Hangers for your cloths
6.Iron if you are doing regularly .
7.Plastic Bath Set since bathrooms are common for every 10 rooms appx.
8.Extra pair of eye glass if you are wearing because emergencies can occur if one is broken.
9. Don’t bring original credentials with your keep them at your home safely they will not required during your colleage. Keep the soft copies of all I Cards and academic credentials.
10. A big no to Laptop for first year students, so don’t think to bring secretly it will cost you if you caught.
11. Home made food a big concern of mother, please don’t bring home made snacks here , everything is available at cafeteria, bring only dry snacks which is non perishable.
12. Since you have to clean your own room so if possible don’t bring too much stuff in the first year keep it simple and bring those things which you really need day to day otherwise it will be great mess in the room and believe me I have witness those messy rooms in boys hostel.

Which is the better option; doing computer engineering at SVNIT-Surat, Gujarat or b.tech in ict at DA-IICT Gandhinagar, Gujarat?


(DA Vs SVNIT )

For B.Tech , DAIICT is better than SVNIT in my opinion.
Few things to remember:
DAIICT is only offers ICT and ICT with minor in Computational Science. (Similar to IIITs.)
->So what is ICT?
ICT stands for Information and Communication Technologies. It is mixture of IT + EC and also somewhat computer science. DAIICT offers more broad curriculum than simply IT or EC or Computer Science. Core subjects from these subjects are there in curriculum.
Also, as student, you can choose either you want focus on only IT or only EC from 3rd year. Till 3rd year , you will get to learn both.(only core subjects which are more relevant.). Most of students opt for IT from 3rd year. So for ease of comparing , I will compare computer department at SVNIT vs DAIICT.
So let's start comparing DAIICT and SVNIT. (I am from Surat where SVNIT is located and I am studying at DAIICT which puts in right situation for comparison.)
Faculty: DAIICT >> SVNIT
DAIICT : Total 42 professors (not considering visiting and adjunct faculty):
 All professors have Ph.D. from well reputed colleges.
 Best faculty you could find in INDIA.
 +10 visiting professors & adjunct faculty.
SVNIT: Total 11 professors :
 2 main professors (Ph.D.) ,
 3 assosiate professor (1 Ph.D.,2 M.Tech.),
 6 assistant professor (1 Ph.D.,5 M.Tech.)

DAIICT has faculty of SVNIT's combined computer+electronics+electrical departments and only Ph.D. professors while SVNIT has faculty with more than 50% M.Tech. professors.

What are the admission criteria for DAIICT through the GUJCET and the JEE?

What are the admission criteria for DAIICT through the GUJCET and the JEE?

I got admission in daiict in 2017
So,now daiict has two branches.One is ICT and other is ICT with honours in computational science(not computer science).
So cutoff stats for general category in 2017 were as follows:
ACPC:
ICT with CS:99.87 percentile i.e upto rank 51(60% of gseb/cbse/icse+40% of gujcet percentile)
ICT:99.58 percentile i.e upto rank 229
The official website for seeing ACPC cutoff is as under:
JEE(not official one but approx cutoff):
ICT with CS:AIR 8xxx
ICT:AIR 13000–14000
If you have AIR less than 12500,then you can get DAIICT easily.
Thanks for reading!

HOW IS THE FOOD AT DAIICT ?


 HOW IS THE FOOD AT DAIICT ?



I love eating. Its the reason I have 10 kg of additional fat on me, but if you want to know about the food at DA(yes we use “DA” instead of “DAIICT”) I am a better person.
It all starts with breakfast:
The first shop “Honey” one will serve pauva, booiled chana, dhokla, khaman and now a days upma with samosa and lot of other stuff, with a very hot ginger powder added tea which I used to buy for Rs. 10 and now they take 11 for that will be served.
The second and the third shop are really one owned by padma kamal as it says, the second one will serve upma, mendu vada, and idli with sambhar. The upma will be somewhat sweeter than what you have ate, but the sambhar really balances it with a little of white chutney which is usually very cold as compared to other things, but is delicious.
The third shop serves pauva, samosa, and rest of khaman and dhokla. And the tea, yes That is my favourite one. It has a pinch of elaichi in it, but dont forget to add sugar in it, it will make it awesome.
Fourth shop will serve only omlet which is made from very old egg atleast 10 days with bread.
5th shop is divided in two parts one contains all the amul stuff and the other great tea and biscuits.
We have a non-active inner canteen for breakfast.
Lunch:
Thalis at 1,2 and inner canteen. According to me the 2 one is the best among the three. You will get a restaurant type menu other than this which includes paneer, and other curries.
NOTE: No matter what you order from the inner canteen the gravy used will be only of two types sweet and spicy. It means veg Afghani will taste like paneer tikka masala the only difference will be paneer and vegetables.
Fourth canteen serves the non veg stuff which I never ate, I have tried the egg biryani which has less salt and more chilly powder in it sometimes, but I like spicy food.
Brunch: Dhosas after 2 pm will be served at 2nd shop followed by the inner one.
Dinner: It will be same as lunch, difference is first shop will serve thali as well as chole bhature followed by dal bati and pav bhaji, tawa pulav will always be served.
Maggi at night with tea, coffee other similar stuff.
We have a juice shop and the speciality is
Koffee++: great sandwichies but costly as compared to other stuff. Pizza and burger are very poor as compared to other.
If you have ordered cheese burger from the inner canteen the dont forget to tell him to add cheese slice in it. You dont want to get a 33 rupees worth burger by paying 42(previously he took 40 from me).
You will also lose weight but will love the canteen a lot. I do love the canteen and its food however it is, it always satisfies my hunger. Sometimes I take two sets of breakfast and order many other things like ice cream, packets and all to fulfill my hunger.
We have recently got a guy who sells sugarcane juice for Rs. 20 and the funny thing is others add ice in sugarcane juice but our person adds sugarcane to ice(in freezer) so it is the purest sugarcane juice.
After saying about the food, one last thing the food is healthy and you wont fall sick due to it. But make some effort to look at the number of tikki used for making burger, I know they dont cook it daily ; )
