How do I get admission in the B.Tech field at Nirma University?
For getting admission in B.Tech at any stream offered by Nirma University, there are three legitimate ways- All Indian quota, NRI or Gulf quota, and the ACPC/ Gujarat state quota.
All India Quota:
- All-Indian quota admission is entirely based on the JEE Main score of the specific year. This quota has 35% coverage over the total number of seats in the institute.
- For All Indian Quota, you need to fill an application on the institute’s official website by giving relevant information and uploading the required documents.
- After the application process is over, Nirma University publishes the list of applied candidates rank-wise. From that list, you can know your dates of counseling, if found eligible.
NRI/ Gulf Quota:
- Students are allowed admission in these seats based on their 12th board marks. The condition that lies in this is that the fee for the student needs to be funded by an NRI.
- The NRI quota has 15% coverage in Nirma University. Usually, the fee for students in this quota is higher than that of general admission students.
ACPC/Gujarat Quota:
- The ACPC/ Gujarat quota seats are allowed only to those who have a valid rank in the GUJCET exam. It comprises a maximum coverage of 50% among the total number of students in the institute.
- In the Gujarat state quota, the admission process is handled by ACPC. The admission ranking list for students in this category is created by the cumulative results of 12th marks and GUJCET marks.
These are the three processes of admission in Nirma University for B.Tech students, with certain conditions in each.

Is IITRAM better than Nirma & PDPU for civil engineering?
Absolutely, if you are interested in pursuing civil engineering in Gujarat, then IITRAM is a better option than Nirma and PDPU. There are several reasons for this.

- IITRAM is the nodal centre in Gujarat for the E-Yantra project (Robotics) initiated by IIT Bombay. This project enables students to gain hands-on experience in robotics, which is essential in today's world.
- The Board of Governance and Academic Council of IITRAM comprise directors, deans, and professors from IIT Gandhinagar, which is also reflected in the college's brochure. The faculty selection for IITRAM is done by IIT GN, and the syllabus is decided with the help of IITB.
- IITRAM has a Siemens Centre of Excellence, which has nine extraordinary labs, along with 13 other labs, providing practical knowledge to students.

If you are interested in computer science, then you should prefer Nirma. On the other hand, if you are interested in petroleum, then PDPU would be a better option for you.
