Question 17

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

Accepted Answer

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They use outdated equipment in their labs and the overall competition was not as good as DDU.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.

Question 18

What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at MSU Baroda?

Accepted Answer

One of my friends recently graduated from MSU Baroda. Let me share some of the points she mentioned about the college, which might also help go through your first year of college.

The faculty of MSU are highly skilled and experienced in their respective fields.
It will take some time to get used to the culture and the overall environment. If you are fluent in Hindi or Gujrati, adjusting here will be no problem.
It will take time to get used to the daily food also as they have their unique way of preparing them which is quite different in every other state.
The weather here is quite humid, if you are used to dry weather and extreme winters it could take some time adjusting.
MSU as a university is a very open and independently cultured place. You will have the complete freedom to explore the place and build your personality as well.
Many events are also held in the campus which brings everyone together. These include DJ nights, Navratri celebrations, and sponsored events.
The day of the exams are hectic and teachers prefer their students to mug up information rather than actually understanding it.

Overall it is a really nice place. In your first year you will get to interact with lots of students and will also have enough time to explore the place. After your first year the pressure of the studies increases so, it is suggested that you explore most during your first year.

Question 19

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 20

What is the backlog ATKT limit at MSU Baroda?

Accepted Answer

At MSU Baroda a maximum of 2 ATKT is allowed at the end of the year. If you have more than 2 ATKT, you will have to repeat the year.

It&rsquo;s the same in 4th year, it&rsquo;s called the golden ATKT. At MSU, failure in viva is also counted as ATKT.

Question 21

What are the best things for MSU Baroda students to do on weekends?

Question 23

Which college is better, LD or MSU Baroda?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the course you are willing to pursue. As one of my friends is an alumni of MSU and also knows about LD, I can help you with the question.

According to him, if you are willing to study engineering then MSU would be a better choice than LD. The overall academics and curriculum is better at MSU, whereas LD has a somewhat better reputation among industries than MSU. Therefore, placements are better in LD.

But if you think you can secure a job offer by yourself go for MSU as they will provide you with the proper academic guidance.

Placement Percentage	80%	60%
Highest CTC	10 LPA	8 LPA
Average CTC	4.50 LPA	4-5 LPA

Also if location is your preference then if you are near to Vadodara go for MSU and if you are close to Ahmedabad go for LD.
