Admission:

The admission process for CDAC Noida is not too easy. For getting admitted into the university, I have given Pre-CAT exam and after 13-20 days results were displaced along with my rank. According to the ranking, the colleges need to be filled. I got admitted in third round. All the details of exam dates, exam fees, and important dates were provided by CDAC on their website, and also they mailed regarding the same. The admissions were received based on the student's rank. There was no caste eligibility. There was a total of 10000-15000 students who applied for the exam. CDAC provides many courses along with DAC there are DBDA, DAI, DITISS, etc.

GREAT COLLEGE

Admission:

admission is through IPU CET and based on the rank you score in the Exam. Then you have to sit in counseling and visit several rounds in which college is allowed to you according to your rank and at last, I got this college.

Very good placements

3.4Helpful

Admission:

The admission process is quite simple. Either you have to give IPUCET aur NIMCET exam. I took admission based on Nimcet ranking. My Nimcet rank was 2183 and I opted for CDAC Noida since this is closest to my home.

Is cdac worth joining?

3.1Helpful

Admission:

Admission process was tough . To get addmission in MCA in C-dac you have to clear nimcet (NIT MCA Common Entrance Test)and have to get a good rank. NIMCET exam is not easy to clear , its a national level test, you can get more information on www.nimcet.com. Eligibility :: BCA / Bsc (Computer science, Mathematics, Electronics) or B.Tech (Computer science) . Application Fees :: 2-3K its keep increasing every year. Application Date :: Due to covid pendamic, keep track on website because application and exam date will keep shifting (www.nimcet.com). Reservation :: yes, reservation do exists like all exam in India. check nimcet website for it . ** Improvement ** :: Nope every thing is good because of covid things trends to a shift but otherwise the process is good.

CDAC Noida honest review

3.2Helpful

Admission:

I gave the NIMCET examination to get an admission in CDAC noida. The application form can be found on the website of ggsipu, application fees is paid once you get to sit for councelling which is refundable. Once you get a college in a particular round and you skip admission and go for further rounds of councelling it is not necessary that you'll get the same college again. To avail a college you have to take admission and pay the fees. But you can't sit in any further councelling rounds. One thing that I'd change is ip University only take admissions based on the NIMCET rank so they should not take their own entrance exam which is ipu CET. The students who don't appear for NIMCET and give the latter only find it very difficult to get a good college.

Best Institute for Getting Core Practical Knowledge in Embedded Systems

4.2Helpful

Admission:

You've to give an entrance exam name C-CAT. according to those All India Ranking you can go for councelling, and choose any CDAC Institute based on your ranking. The course is awesome, You'll mostly get hands on experience on Embedded Systems & Design. You'll get the opportunity to study with great minds. and you'll get the opportunity to learn from some CDAC R&D scientist who is working for CDAC R&D. The course duration is 7 months. You'll be having 9-12 modules based on the course. and every modules will be having 2 lab exams and one MCQ Exams. After that there would be a final project you have to build based on all the modules. You'll get approx 1month to complete it and showcase your project. that project marks will also be included on the marksheet. I would highly recommend the course as they also provide on campus placement to core embedded companies and Package range depends from 5LPA to 18LPA. So many big companies like Bosch, GE, Samsung comes in the college for R&D post.

You don't have to worry about internship

3.7Helpful

Admission:

First of all, to take admission in CDAC you have to give a national level test for mca (NIMCET) if you got your rank between 1500 to 2000 you will easily get cdac Noida and another way is giving the ipu CET exam which I would not prefer as 90% seats are booked for Delhi residents.

Better placement in noida

Admission:

I have applied for USIT and CDAC. Due to my low rank, I didn't get USIT but I get CDAC which is also good in education and placement. After the final result, you have gone to college on the date specified by your allocated College with all previous documents. And after verification of documents, u will get admission. It all process takes about 2 hr. That's all
