I would any day choose NIRMA over PDPU for Civil Engineering because
Irrespective of the Institute you choose, it’s your capability to make the most out of the program and determine what makes you successful and not the institute.
If you are considering private colleges in Gujarat, Nirma, and PDPU are two of the most reputed institutions. Here's what you need to know about these colleges to help you make an informed decision:
Both Nirma and PDPU are reputed colleges in Gujarat with unique strengths. Your decision should be based on your personal preferences and career goals. If you value academic rigor and a structured approach to learning, Nirma could be a good fit for you. If you are looking for opportunities to develop your skills and interests outside of academics and don't mind paying a higher fee, PDPU could be a good choice for you.

Absolutely, if you are interested in pursuing civil engineering in Gujarat, then IITRAM is a better option than Nirma and PDPU. There are several reasons for this.
Therefore, if you are an ACPC student in Gujarat, it is a golden opportunity for you to pursue civil engineering at IITRAM.
However, it is essential to note that IITRAM is an excellent option only if you have an interest in core branches such as mechanical, electrical, or civil engineering. If you are interested in computer science, then you should prefer Nirma. On the other hand, if you are interested in petroleum, then PDPU would be a better option for you. LD is also a very good option for those who cannot afford Nirma and PDPU.
PDPU is a good option for pursuing ICT. The course curriculum is designed beautifully. The course structure is such that students get to learn from other resources as well. ICT bridges the gap between CE and ECE. The course outcome is pretty good in the field of technology. The faculties of the department are helpful and cooperative. PDPU placement highlights show the average and highest CTC to be INR 6.09 LPA and INR 25 LPA respectively.

MSU is better for Psychology. It has a brilliant faculty base. Academics offered at the university are top-notch. The Psychology department of MSU is old and well-recognized in the region. Here are the course details.
| Course fee | INR 23,200 |
| Course intake | 100 |
| Median CTC | INR 2.8 LPA |
In Gujrath region, MSU is the best option for core courses.
Symbiosis will be better for non-technical courses, such as management, mass communication, economics, law, etc. For technical courses, PDPU will be better. It is especially reputed for its Petroleum department. The highlights of PDPU placements 2022 show an average CTC of INR 7 LPA.
However, few technological institutes of Symbiosis are better than PDPU. So, before choosing an institute, research it in detail.

Students become eligible for placements from the 7th Semester and companies start visiting at that time. The no. of companies that visit are around 30+ and the highest package offered last time was around 25+ LPA. The average package is 7-8LPA. Some of the companies that visit are Accenture,TCS, Infosys, JP Morgan(students got placed from a Hackathon)

The faculty to student ratio is approximately 1:25. Faculties are pretty chill and approachable. There are generally 2 written exams per semester. One Mid Semester and One End Semester exam. The Mid Semester exam is of 25 marks and contributes to 25% of the marks of a subject. The End Semester exam is of 100 marks and contributes to 50% of the weightage. The remaining 25% of the marks are a component of the Internal Assessment and include quizes, assignments and projects. The exams are moderately difficult and easy if you study regularly but it is still possible to clear them by pulling an all nighter, although I wouldn't recommend it. The course curriculum as I said before is pretty similar to other tier 3 colleges but there have been recent updates to make it more relevant to current industry trends. Faculty Members are also pretty mixed with some demanding discipline and order while others being more liberal and understanding.

There are 2 festivals held annually in the college, Tesseract(The technical fest) and Flare(The cultural fest). Tesseract is a 3 day event held in the odd semester in October that involves various activities from different science and tech clubs and it is concluded with an EDM night. Flare is also a 3 day event held in the even semester in March commencing with different activities by the social and cultural clubs and ends with an Artist Performance on the last Day (Previous performers include KK, Gajendra Varma,Sachet Parampara). The laboratories are well equipped and contain almost everything that you need. There is also a high end Apple Lab consisting solely of M1 iMacs and there are a few Mac Studios ss well. The library is well stocked and there are 3 of them throughout the campus. Each catering to different domains (Engineering,Liberal Studies, Management). The Sports facilities are also pretty good with a 400m track , Football Field , Basketball court , Tennis Court , Kabaddi Ground. The student run clubs are also a great way to network and get more out of your college experience.

The hostel room is decently sized and shared between 3 people. Has your basic amenities like a wardrobe,bed, study table and an attached washroom (if you're in the new high rise hostel) otherwise a common one. The best amenity is that the Air Conditioner. Since you don't have to pay for electricity (since the college has a 1MW solar farm) you can keep the AC running practically 24/7. The Registration process is fairly easy and the hostel cost is competitively priced at 180000 for the whole year including food. The food in the mess is alright, you get 4 meals a day and eggs in the morning and evening and non-veg is available twice a week. The food is okay for a hostel. There are options to rent flats nearby and share it with other students although it will be difficult finding one that accepts bachelor students as tenants. But it does come with it's perks of freedom. There are other PGs and Hostels as well if you don't find accomodation in the University run hostel.
