Well ok .... i hate to do this but it seems have to get my hands dirty in this fight !!!!!
Firstly to all da aspirants aspiring to join DAIICT do not listen to crap da above person has written!!! it's not true !! Most probably the person who has written dis was either thrown out of DAIICT for getting pointer below 4 or well he is not even a student of DAIICT
1. LOL !!! syllabus !!! it's probably one of the finest course structure in da country. Course is dynamic and a lot of feedback from industry and academia is taken to improve the course structure every year . Not Having C++ in Da course structure again false .. we have entire course in Object Oriented Programming in 2nd Semester which actually teaches you OOP ( and not any language in particular cuz u had mentioned C++ ) and basically that is what is taught in Universities around da world (in fact bfr Joining DAIICT i was in IIIT Allahabad for 1 mnth and dey dont even have course in C++ its taught by 3rd yr ppl and proff on da very first day said WE ARE NOT HERE TO TEACH PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE YOU CAN LEARN DAT ON YOUR OWN )
2. Placements : hmmm ok dey might not be exceptional but still dey r gud considering we hv ppl wid avg rank abt AIEEE 7K(unlike IIT A wid abt 2.5K and IITH abt 1.5K ) . Plus It's a Private University (not a gvt one plus its new ) so it wud take tym for cos to actually trust daiict . Still we had Microsoft , Texas Instrument coming last yr .. and highest package was 9.1 Lpa and nt 4 as u mentioned and dere r seniors working in Google , Adobe , Microsoft Research , IDC , GSPC , IT etc .
We never said we are better dan IIIT A/H but if u r not getting dem DAIICT is da next best option .You got a medicore rank in entrance exams and dats why u ended up in DAIICT but if u r not ready to work hard and rise above mediocrity in cllg basicaly u cannot blame cllg,admin for dis.
oh so u r cribbing abt da fact yahoo and google did not come for placements ok ... hw many ppl do deze cos take from so called top notch cllgs ???
Dere r abt 50-60 Seniors studying in some of the finest univ arnd da wrld including Purdue , UFL , UC Berkeley , Georgia Tech , NUS , tufdel etc Plus abt 25-30 in IIM's alone from 3 batch alone .So it's not only abt placements
3. Proffs: Proffs r only for money OMG Who dosn't want to wrk for money !!! well do u really think proffs in IIIT H are dere oly cuz of students if qlty of students was da only criteria we would hv had awesome proffs in NITs . Hmmm you are getting access to so many awesome proffs wid abt 8K eee rank ..nthng can beat dat and well da proffs r more den happy to help you out if u approach dem dat is (by takin appointments ) basically no one is going to spoon feed you here. Gimme a brk just bcuz u dont study dat doesnt mean u wud go on abusing proffs
hmm da entire aim of 4 yr engineering program is not only to teach you tech stuff but well broaden your horizon and dats why we have humanities course here (Humanities dept is one of da best in da country ) and well if u r not ready to study and you fail you have to bear da consequence and having no backpaper is way better at least it makes ppl study seriously.
4. Well AICTE BS again !!! hmm ppl from DAIICT are in UC Berkeley , UFL , IIM and if dey don't have any problem wid we nt hvng AICTE approval basically we dont care abt dat shit . and ISB is also not AICTE approved and so are IIT's .
5. Smoking/Doping -- u find dat everywhr in all da campusses including iit.nt a problem limited to daiict it's way less here compared to plcs like NIT/IIT . Warden !! LOL u hv Hostel Supervisor's office inside Hostel what else do u need .
Single Achievement !! Gimme a brk .... whrvr daiictans hv gone dey hv won .... we have been winning Microsoft Imagine Cup Nationals for past 2 yrs and dis yr also amng da 8 teams selected for final stages 2 were frm DAIICT . We have been winning Texas Instrument Cos(one of da most prestigious competition in india ) for da pst 3 years .A senior recently won Quallcomm innovators challenge in IIT Bombay
