ABOUT DA-IICT

Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT) is a pioneer in the field of ICT. It was established under an Act of Gujarat State Legislature (Act no. 6 of 2003) and recognized by UGC as a statutory university. DA-IICT is a prominent educational and research institution that aims at building a knowledge-based society founded on intellectual competitiveness for global leadership. It is located in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, with a beautiful lush green campus. Highly qualified faculty, supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure, bring research-led teaching to the classroom, creating a new class of ICT engineers who will be committed to a vision of excellence both in professional life and personal. In addition to the unique undergraduate programme – B.Tech.(ICT) - the institute offers M.Tech.(ICT), M.Sc.(IT), M.Sc.(ICT in ARD), M.Des.(CD) and Ph.D programs which are designed to develop students’ comprehension of technology both within the broad vision of science and in the understanding of business management and social environment. DA-IICT has emphasized interdisciplinary research right from its inception, and research initiatives at DA-IICT are aimed at technological development and enhancing interactions with leading industries and research organizations in India and abroad.

ICT PIONEER

DA-IICT is a forerunner in the field of ICT. This fundamental innovation, combining Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) and Computer Sciences and Engineering (CSE), was embedded in the large matrix of interdisciplinary subjects including Design, Science and Management, Film and Animation along with the traditional Humanities and Social Sciences. This vision, we are proud to say, goes beyond the traditional idea of Liberal Arts wedded to an technology institute. It visualizes the student as a professional and as a citizen dealing with knowledge systems at large but with core competence in ICT.

The curriculum designed by eminent professors very well exemplifies the convergence of skills required by ICT. Research and development is the most important component of the education system, which puts the institute at par with many other reputed institutes in the country. Projects, which are aimed at providing practical knowledge and experience, form an integral component of the education system. The curriculum is designed to produce competent and confident engineers with knowledge and expertise to meet the needs of current and future world.

4

DA-IICT offers a unique four-year Undergraduate Program leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Technology in Information and Communication Technology - B.Tech. (ICT). "ICT" embodies the convergence of Computer, Electronics and Communication Systems and has obtained wide acceptance as a distinct discipline. Since technological courses are introduced from the very first semester, the student has the necessary background to specialize and delve deeper into specific sub-areas of knowledge within ICT in the later part of the Program. It is also expected that ICT graduates would enjoy a special niche since they have certain performance capabilities not found in conventional CSE and/or ECE graduates. This is because given the unique interdisciplinary structure of the four-year-long B.Tech. program, the student acquires a good balance between the breadth demanded by comprehension at the systems level and the depth demanded by scientific understanding of the fundamentals.

Elective courses constitute the bulk of the curriculum in the third and fourth years of study, which means that the student has the freedom to acquire proficiency in her/his fields of interest. Group electives differentiate between students of core Information Technology, core Electronics and core Communications fields. Science electives are courses offered in the areas of Mathematics and Engineering Sciences. Technical electives cover technical courses from various fields of Information and Communication Technology, and Open electives are courses offered from areas like Humanities, Social Sciences, Management and Engineering Arts including Design, which are not covered in the technical electives. The blend of theoretical, technical and humanities courses available ensures a distinctive mental development of the students, whereby they are equally adept in the understanding of the theoretical foundations, practical applications and social and cultural context related to the technology they are studying. Projects, which are aimed at providing practical knowledge to students, form a significant component in the education.

When the Placement Office receives an offer letter from a company for a student, it shall communicate the same to her/him.

A time period will be declared where students have to inform the Placement Office regarding his/her decision on the offer. If He/She fails to do so, it shall be assumed that the offer has been rejected by him/her.

If a student having a ‘Dream’ category offer, is considered to be out of the campus placement process.

When a student receives a second offer, i.e. in the case of upgradation, from ‘Regular’ to ‘Niche’ / ‘Dream’ or ‘Niche’ to ‘Dream’ categories, then the previous offer automatically stands rejected.

The purview of the Placement Office is restricted only to the offers made as part of the campus placement process.

Students can upgrade only once, hence if a student has upgraded from regular to niche category then he/she cannot upgrade further to Dream category and they are out from the placement process.

If a student participates in the placement process of a company, then he/she cannot leave it in between. If such a case arises, then it will be deemed as rejection of the offer.

A student can upgrade only once by rejecting regular/niche category offer. If a student rejecting a ‘Dream’ category company, then he/she is considered as not interested in placement process.

Student can only reject one offer at maximum, if they reject the second offer than he/she becomes ineligible for the placement process.

On upgrading to a higher category company, the previous offer stands rejected. If a student does not inform the Placement Office regarding his/her decision on acceptance of an offer within the declared time period, then it will be deemed as rejection of the offer.
