Nirma University IT is a better option. The reasons are course curriculum, the teaching methodology used, and faculty. The seniors of the institute are also quite helpful.

You can kickstart your weekends by writing journals and indulge in other extra-curricular activities. Even during the weekdays, you will have time to do many things, like writing journals, playing sports or traveling.

You can go for early morning jogging or cycling around the campus.
If you love photography, then it will be best to visit Expressway Bridge on a Saturday night.
Besides, you can also go to a movie or visit an eatery with your friends.
The best part of the year comes during Felicific, a cultural fest that happens every year at DDU. You come at 8:30 in the evening and have the option to attend 2 hours of lectures only.

I live in Vadodara. Which is better MSU or DDU Nadiad for computers?

Chirag Dey,

22 Oct 21

One of my friends studied in DDU and after gathering some information online, I can give you a proper comparison. Analyzing this you will be able to make your decision.

DDU has an edge over MSU, when comparing CSE departments.
MSU's programming events at their annual technical festival, FootPrints, was also disappointing.
They use outdated equipment in their labs and the overall competition was not as good as DDU.

The Computer Engineering course of DDU has programming languages and technologies early on in the 4 year duration and core CS theory subjects after, unlike MSU.
Java is taught in DDU in the 3rd sem but in MSU, it comes in the 6th.
Web technologies are introduced in DDU in the 4th sem unlike MSU .If you choose DDU, expect lots of exams and strict rules.
FootPrints at MSU happen at a much larger scale than DDU's Felicific.
The DDU schedule will keep you busy and focussing less on extracurricular activities.
MSU hostels have received a lot of student complaints. In comparison, DDU's hostel is more comforting.

Categories	DDU	MSU
Course Fee	INR 6.08 lakh	INR 6,000
Highest CTC	10 LPA	8 LPA
Average CTC	6 LPA	3.5 LPA
Recruiting Companies	TCS, Infosys, Crest Data Systems, etc.	TCS, Wipro, Infosys, etc.

It is suggested that you go for DDU instead of MSU. But finally it is your choice. Choose the one that meets your needs and requirements, as it will be easier to blend in.

There are various clubs at Dharmsinh Desai Universitywhich you can join. Here are some of them.

DDU Connect: This is a great group. They started many activities like publishing monthly magazines and journals for the institution.
Spandan: This is a very special group that includes activities like Orphanage visits, Old age home visits, blood donation camps, Thalassemia check-up camps, Eye donation pledges, etc. This group had organized an eye donation camp with DDU Connect, which holds the Guinness book of world records of having the maximum pledges.
CSI: This group is joined mostly by CS and IT branch students although everyone can join this group. This group organizes technical fests every year.

There are also some other groups like NSS which is a social club, Shutterbugs which is a photography club, Go Mad and IT Talks which are student activity centers.

Hence, these are some of the best groups at Dharmsinh Desai University which every student should join as there they will get to meet new people and explore many things and also learn some new skills at the same time.

Which is better for computer engineering LD or MSU or DDU nadiad? Like environment in class rooms and placement.

Priya Patel

13 Oct 21

After doing some research online about these colleges, I found out that mostly students prefer DDU. It would be better in all the ways from campus to placements.

The campus of DDU is very good. The infrastructure is well developed.
All the required facilities are provided and they are fully functional.
The labs are well maintained.
The teaching faculty is very good and much better than LD and MSU.
The academic curriculum at DDU is better than LD and MSU.
Companies such as Infosys, GSFC, Reliance, Wipro visit for hiring.

You may also want to know that why they do not prefer LD:

It is a Government institute and it comes under Gujarat Technological University. The exams are conducted at odd timings.
The schedule is not followed well and vacations are not given at the proper time.
The students do not get time to learn anything or do internships.
The labs are poorly maintained and not functional.
The teaching faculties are not good and supportive. Students have to do self study.
The only advantage of studying at LD is that it gets a good number of companies as it comes under GTU. Companies such as TCS, Accenture, Cybage, Persistence, HSBC, elite core, Wipro, matrix visits for hiring.

The students passing out from DDU have more skills and knowledge compared to other students. So, overall, DDU would be a better option.

How is DDU nadiad placements in computer?

Sakshi Roy

I have a few friends from DDU and according to them, the placement opportunities offered at DDU for the Computer Engineering department are quite good. You will have lots of job opportunities. You just need to be sure about what you want because CE is a wide domain. Companies recruit for different profiles. like Java developer, PHP developer, .NET developer, etc.

According to the placement highlights of this year, for CE the placement average was 100%. The highest CTC offered was more than 30 lakhs and the average CTC offered was nearly 6 lakhs. Some of the major recruiters that visited the placement drive were Infosys, Accenture, TCS, Amazon, etc.

Which is a better option: PDPU computer science or DDU computer science?

Sayani Sen

19 Jan 22

It will be better if you go for PDPU for computer science than DDU. One of my friends studied at PDPU and according to him, just like any other college, it also has its fair share of pros and cons.

Pros:

PDPU offers students with proper industrial visits and job opportunities. They provide the exposure needed to succeed in the industry.
They let you familiarize with the functioning of the industry to make you ready.
They have the best campus facilities in Gujarat. With a well maintained infrastructure, it even beats the reputed Nirma University.
Students here are also encouraged to take part in extracurricular activities, clubs and committees for their holistic development.

Cons:

The college is comparatively costlier than other colleges in the region.
The faculty lacks experienced professors. Most of the faculty members are new.
If doing further studies is your intention then investing a lot of money for a bachelor degree here might not be a clever option.

Therefore, opt for what suits your career goals and can fulfill them. Make an informed decision after going through every detail properly.

Which is a better option pdpu computer science or ddu computer science?

My sister studied computer engineering at DDU. Based on her experience I will recommend you to join DDU. Here are the reasons why you should choose DDU.

DDU CSE department is way older than PDPU. As a department, it has more experience. It has also improved a lot over the years.
The faculty members are well-educated and highly experienced.
The laboratories are well-facilitated.
From 4th sam, you will have to do projects. That way you will get to learn about real-life projects.
The placement record for DDU is also quite good. The placement average is around 95%.

So, overall DDU Computer Science will be a great option.
