Entrance and counselling requirements differ by programme. GUJCET and ACPC are used for B.Tech and B.Pharm admission, while MBA applicants may submit CMAT, MAT or CAT scores. A valid GPAT score is needed for M.Pharm.

DDU Courses and Fees

More than 35 programmes are offered through DDU's five faculties. Technology is its main faculty, with seven B.Tech branches and related M.Tech routes. The Medical Science and Dental Science faculties provide MBBS, BDS and six MDS specialisations. Total course fees range from INR 1.10 Lakhs for M.Tech to INR 1.01 Crore for a general-quota MBBS seat.

Computer Engineering and Information Technology receive the strongest demand among the B.Tech options. Six MDS fields are also available: Orthodontics, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Prosthodontics, Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Oral Pathology and Microbiology, and Periodontology.

DDU Admission Process

DDU uses state counselling for some courses and its own selection procedure for others. Merit and counselling determine admission to B.Tech, MBBS and BDS, while the management selection process also includes an interview.

B.Tech Admission

B.Tech applicants must have studied Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in Class 12 and secured at least 45% aggregate. The minimum is 40% for reserved categories. They also need a valid GUJCET or JEE Main score.

• Create an account on the ACPC Gujarat portal.
• Wait for the merit list prepared using the GUJCET or JEE Main rank.
• Enter preferred branches and quotas through online choice filling.
• Accept the provisional allotment and pay the required fee.
• Report to the designated centre for document checks.
• Complete the final admission confirmation.

Historically, the GUJCET closing ranks for Computer Engineering and Information Technology have been in the middle range among Gujarat's private universities. Applicants scoring above 60 percentile in JEE Main and more than 80 marks in GUJCET have typically gained admission to preferred B.Tech branches.

MBBS and BDS Admission

ACPUGMEC, short for the Admission Committee for Professional Undergraduate Medical Educational Courses, Gujarat, manages admission to MBBS and BDS. DDU has 150 MBBS seats. Students need at least 50% marks in Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, along with a valid NEET UG score. The historical General Category MBBS closing rank has ranged from 1,00,000 to 2,00,000, depending on the quota.

• Qualify NEET UG and register with ACPUGMEC.
• Choose the preferred institution and programme.
• Receive an allotment according to the ACPUGMEC merit list.
• Submit documents and pay the fee at DDU.

MBA and MCA Admission

For MBA admission, students need a bachelor's degree with 50% marks and a valid CMAT, MAT, CAT or ATMA result. DDU then conducts a group discussion and personal interview. MCA applicants must have studied IT, Computer Science or Mathematics during graduation and possess the required quantitative aptitude.

Other PG and Ph.D. Programmes

M.Tech applicants require a B.Tech degree and a valid GATE score. M.Pharm admission requires B.Pharm and a valid GPAT score. Admission to MDS uses NEET PG, which is conducted by the National Board of Examinations. For Ph.D. entry, DDU holds a university-level entrance examination followed by an interview.

DDU Placements

The Technology Faculty's 2025 graduating class achieved a highest package of INR 21 LPA. A total of 480 students obtained offers from 100 companies, while the median across B.Tech branches was INR 4.8 LPA. Information Technology reported an average package of INR 5.2 LPA, with 95 of 97 students placed.

Placement totals in the core branches included 114 Civil Engineering students, 80 Electronics and Communication students, and 50 Chemical Engineering students. MCA added 45 placements. Most offers fell within the INR 4 to 6 LPA range, and 9 IT students received packages above INR 8 LPA.

Recruiters in the 2025 season included TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, Accenture, Capgemini, TechMahindra, Cybage, Crest Data Systems, Zeus Learning, Streebo, Infostretch, Cadence, Hitachi Hirel, Adani, ATUL, Coromandel, GCPTCL, Nayara Energy, Cadila Healthcare, and NIRMA Industries. Campus hiring is led by software and IT employers, followed later in the season by companies recruiting for core engineering roles.

The Faculty of Management reported a 2025 MBA median package of INR 4 LPA. After completing MBBS or BDS, graduates mainly pursue postgraduate medical education through NEET PG or begin clinical practice within the region.

DDU Rankings

In the 2025 NIRF University category, DDU appears in the 151-200 band. Its Pharmacy faculty has also been listed in the national Pharmacy category. DDU does not have a separate ranking from the international QS or THE systems.

DDU Campus and Infrastructure

The university occupies 42 acres in Nadiad, a mid-sized city in Gujarat's Anand district, 50 km from Ahmedabad. Each faculty has a separate building, and students can use a central library, computing laboratories and a sports complex.

A 650-bed teaching hospital operates with the Faculty of Medical Science. It allows MBBS and BDS students to begin clinical exposure from their first professional year. The Dental Faculty also has clinical operatories equipped with modern dental chairs for training and patient care.

On-campus accommodation is provided separately for boys and girls. DDU also has an IQAC cell, a DDU-SSIP Student Startup and Innovation Programme cell, and a Women's Cell. IEEE, ISTE and department associations organise annual technical festivals and inter-college activities.

DDU Scholarships

Students at DDU may apply for university, Gujarat government and central government scholarship schemes. MYSY, the Mukhyamantri Yuva Swavlamban Yojana, is the main option for eligible students who are domiciled in Gujarat.

MYSY is used by the largest number of DDU scholarship recipients. Students from agricultural and non-salaried households may apply if they also satisfy the regular income conditions. Funds are transferred to the student's bank account through the Direct Benefit Transfer mechanism.

DDU vs Nirma University vs CHARUSAT

Students considering private engineering universities in Gujarat often compare DDU with Nirma University in Ahmedabad and Charotar University of Science and Technology, or CHARUSAT, in Changa. Each provides undergraduate engineering education, but DDU also has medical and dental faculties.

Nirma University has the stronger NAAC grade, higher placement packages and wider brand visibility, especially among students based in Ahmedabad. DDU's main distinction is that engineering, medical and dental programmes operate on the same campus. CHARUSAT provides a similar range of engineering courses and fees for students from the Anand-Kheda area.
