Both Nirma and DDU Nadiad are very good colleges and provide very good facilities to the students. But you should choose a college based on the department.

• Among these two DDU will be a better option if you opt for chemical engineering. It is the best in Gujrat.
• If you want to pursue Computer Science, Nirma University would be a better choice than DDU.
• Many reputed companies participate in their placement program.
• Companies like Microsoft, Google, Byju’s, Capgemini, Accenture, Wipro, Infosys, ZS Associates, IBM, etc,
• The faculty of both colleges are very talented and experienced. They are also very helpful and supportive.
• There are no major sports like cricket, football, and basketball available inside the DDU campus. But there are some indoor games like table tennis and badminton which you can play during your free time.
• The placements are also above average.

Hence, DDU Nadiad and Nirma are both very good colleges with amazing academics and placements. The students studying here will get many opportunities to learn new skills and improve themselves.

One of my friends, being part of Nirma University, brief me about the process. So, here is what he has to say about the Nirma University (Ahmedabad) Transcript Process.

Prior to anything, the campus of Nirma University is situated in Ahmedabad, the postal address of which is Nirma, Sarkhej: Gandhinagar Highway, Gota, Ahmedabad, Gujarat - 382481.

• There have been no verification charges for the institute. However, in case you want to obtain more than just 1 copy, then you might as well have to pay charges of about Rs. 500.
• There is also no online process seen even until today from the institute. You can, however, either visit the campus whenever necessary or you can authorize an individual on your behalf and send with them the required documents needed by the institute.
• Having said that, the required documents are Degree Evidence, Mark Sheets, Transcripts, WES (or/and) IQAS form and Syllabus (optional criteria).
• After that, you can obtain the transcript in about a weeks’ time.
• Although, they are seen not to courier documents directly. Thus, leaving you the choice of requesting them on the same or collecting and following necessary steps to courier it on your own.
• Besides, you can also call at the number provided evidently by any sources for needing any important update or guide.

It is quite a tedious job if he had not physically been present at the university. However, he also says that he received a prompt email response from the team whenever he inquired about the status.

This college is quite average as compared to other colleges like BITs and NITs. If you compare this college with other state government colleges then you might find this college better.

• This college is only good for their various activities and clubs which will help you in getting industrial exposure and gaining necessary skills.
• The faculties and academics of the college are average.
• The attendance criteria of this college is also a major issue over here. You need to have 80% attendance every semester.
• In terms of placement, the Chemical branch students get 100% placement while the ECE gets around 70-80% placement.

Nirma University has good infrastructural facilities. They have two libraries, one in the technical building and one in the management building. The library consists of many journals, magazines, and newspapers. The college also has tie-ups with the British library. You can also watch online video lectures of NPTEL from the computer lab in the library.

You will have a lot of options to explore at the canteen at Nirma University.

• Cuisines like Punjabi with varied options in the rotis and sabzis, Chinese that includes Manchurian, fried rice and noodles, etc are offered.
• If you are in the mood for Gujarati food, you can have dhokla, khandvi, khaman, or buttermilk and there are a number of dosas and idlis in South Indian cuisine.
• There is an option for pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, samosas, poha, pav bhaji, and other snacky items too.
• A number of healthy fruit juice options are also available which are quite refreshing.
• If you are on the go, you can also buy packets of wafers and chocolates along with packed juices, water bottles, and cold drinks.

You can also opt for a monthly fixed dish subscription which has a very cheap rate but it is not that great in my opinion. It is a three-star canteen with affordable rates and many options.

According to the reviews online and talking to some of my friends, I got to know that both the colleges are really good. Both the colleges have lively atmosphere and culture and also, the faculties are really good and give great placements. You won’t regret joining either of two.

• Though life in Nirma is a bit tougher and more suffocating than PDPU.
• But, the Mechanical Engineering department in both the colleges are amazing.
• But yes, it is much better in Nirma as far as course curriculum and studies are concerned.
• Placements are good in both colleges.
• Top companies such as Reliance and Adani Power come to PDPU for recruitment and in Nirma companies such as Cognizant, Evosys, ZS Associates, Reliance participates.
• So overall if you are getting mechanical at Nirma then go for it.

Also, from overall view I think you should opt for Nirma. But don’t rush into your decision, think as much as you want and choose the best for you. The decision is all yours at last.

Although ECE students are allowed to sit in the placement drives of most computer science companies, very few among them end up getting a job offer from those companies in Nirma University. The points below give proper reasons supporting the cause, as evident from most reviews related to the same.

• Companies hiring from CSE have a coding round in their selection process, just after the aptitude round. In this round, most students in ECE are eliminated as they are not that much trained in programming or coding up to that competitive level.
• Even if an ECE student makes it to the personal interview rounds, recruiters have certain biases inherent in them.
• Some of them consider ECE students to be less productive because of not having a core computer science background. But, this factor is subjective to some companies only, and not all.

These two factors play the role of a barrier for the ECE students to not end up in good computer science jobs and so, very few students from the department are placed in those companies.

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.
