One of my friends secured an AIR (All India Rank) of 7,000 in JEE Main 2017 and obtained a seat in NIT Surat in CSE. It is a good option since the institute is well renowned. More than that, he also decided to visit DA-IICT, Gandhinagar.
Here is his experience of DA-IICT, Gandhinagar with better references -

Last but not the least, do not keep faculty as one of your deciding factors. This can be hugely misleading. Visit the official websites of the institutes, weigh in the factors important for you, and choose accordingly. Both these institutes have their advantages.
Choosing among institutes highly depends upon the stream you want to pursue. For branches like CSE, IT, and ECE, DAIICT is a better choice than the other. But, for other departments, Nirma University can be considered to be a better option.
The points below give a brief overview of both the institutes, which will help you make a choice between the two.
Therefore, DAIICT has a lot of praise in terms of all aspects, whether it is placement or college life. It is definitely a great choice for branches like CSE, IT, and ECE.
Currently, DAIICT is definitely better than IET, Ahmedabad. It is well-developed and offers a competitive environment to the students. Whereas, IET is still in its development phase.
Although IET has made great strides over the past few years, it will have time for it to be on the same level as DAIICT. For ICT, the best colleges in Gujarat are DA-IICT, IET, PDPU.
A few of my friends pursued CSE at NIT Raipur and DA-IICT, and here are some tips for you, based on their experience.
DA-IICT is a better choice and the reasons are as follows.
However, at the NITs, you have to study Physics and Chemistry again and subjects like Engineering Drawing that have no relevance with Computer Science as the first year are common amongst all branches. Only the top three NITs- NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, and NIT Surathkal are better than DA-IICT.
For CS, DTU will be the better choice. Given below are the reasons for choosing DTU over the other institutes.
