I also applied to Nirma University. I got there admission in the Electronics and Communication department, but I want admission in computer science, so I chose Pandit Deendayal Energy University over Nirma University. I also applied for NITs, but admission criteria of 75% in boards got me rejected. In my college, you can get admission through online mode. The eligibility criteria is changed every year, so you have to check the official website for eligibility. Our college accepts the Jee main score and the Gujaratcet score, and you can get admission through ACPC counselling.

The eligibility of the course is that one should have passed the board exam and should have appeared for either DASA (for NRI students only), JEE or GUJCET. The students who are willing to get admission through the score of Board+GUJCET(ACPC) should list the college in ACPC choice filling and the students who are willing to take admission through JEE or NRI quota should fill up the admission form available on the official website of the university. For the year 2022, the fee for the application for admission was Rs 1000 only. The overall admission process of the college is very good.
