There are a lot of differences between the Dharam Singh College which is situated in Nadiad and the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Institute of Technology. 

• The Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Institute of Technology consists of an NIT tag which is a lot better than the other. 
• Both the colleges furnish the same courses of engineering but getting an NIT tag that is a national institute tag helps a lot. It indicates a brand. 
• Apart from the brand, it has a diverse culture as it welcomes students from all over the country, the exposure and opportunities offered at SVNIT are of the national level. 
• The faculty and placements are also above average at SVNIT. 
• Along with all these, the campus of SVNIT is around 300 acres which is itself a big campus.

Therefore, it is suggested that you opt for SVNIT rather than Dharmsinh Desai University. As it will provide you better opportunities both in academics and placements.

I have a few friends from DDU Nadiad and according to them, the placement scenario for EC is great. As an Electrical Engineer, you have opportunities to work in various fields. If you are interested in IT, you can join Infosys, TCS, Igate Pattni, Tech Mahindra, Cybage, and other such companies. 

If you want to join core companies then you will have the option to join Sibridge, EInfochips, Volancyc, Matrix solutions, KHS, Idea, Masibus, Airtel, etc. 

According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at the institute is 4-5 LPA. 

I have a few friends from BVM and DDU and based on the reviews that I got from them, I will suggest you choose the former. BVM is better for Electrical, Electronics, Civil, Computer, IT branches. Here are some of the reasons why you should choose BVM.

• It has the best laboratory in Gujrat for Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering.
• The faculty base for the institute is great. 
• BVM is an autonomous college and they conduct their own examination. Which is better than the bulky syllabus of GTU.
• The alumni association for BVM is quite good. They help students to conduct festivals such as UDDAN. UDDAN is one of the best festivals in Gujarat. 
• The sports facilities offered at BVM are also better.
• There are many well-known alumni of BVM. A.M. Naik is one of them. He is the CEO of L&T. 
• BVM also offers good placement opportunities. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC offered was 4-5 LPA. The highest CTC offered was 12 LPA. 

Overall, compared to DDU, BVM is definitely a better option. 

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.
