Thanking you , Regards, Prof. S. C. Sahasrabudhe Director 1 VISION To serve as a catalyst and a change agent for the development of a culture for Informaton and Communicaton Technology and to actvely partcipate in the fructcaton of the Natonal Acton Plan for Informaton Technology. MISSION To be the most preferred choice of students, faculty and the industry. To be in the top 10 in every discipline: global leadership, human development, excellence in educaton and keeping the core values of the campus intact. To become a leading insttute in the area of Informaton and Communicaton Technology and related domains. 2 ABOUT DA-IICT Dhirubhai Ambani Insttute of Informaton and Communicaton Technology (DA-IICT) is a pioneer in the eld of ICT. It was established under an Act of Gujarat State Legislature (Act no. 6 of 2003) and recognized by UGC as a statutory university. DA-IICT is a prominent educatonal and research insttuton that aims at building a knowledge-based society founded on intellectual compettveness for global leadership. It is located in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, with a beautful lush green campus. Highly qualied faculty, supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure, bring research-led teaching to the classroom, creatng a new class of ICT engineers who will be commited to a vision of excellence both in professional life and personal. In additon to the unique undergraduate programme B.Tech.(ICT) - the insttute oers M.Tech.(ICT), M.Sc.(IT), M.Sc.(ICT in ARD), M.Des.(CD) and Ph.D programs which are designed to develop students comprehension of technology both within the broad vision of science and in the understanding of business management and social environment. DA-IICT has emphasized interdisciplinary research right from its incepton, and research initatves at DA-IICT are aimed at technological development and enhancing interactons with leading industries and research organizatons in India and abroad. 3 ICT PIONEER DA-IICT is a forerunner in the eld of ICT. This fundamental innovaton, combining Electronics and Communicaton Engineering (ECE) and Computer Sciences and Engineering (CSE), was embedded in the large matrix of interdisciplinary subjects including Design, Science and Management, Film and Animaton along with the traditonal Humanites and Social Sciences. This vision, we are proud to say, goes beyond the traditonal idea of Liberal Arts wedded to an technology insttute. It visualizes the student as a professional and as a citzen dealing with knowledge systems at large but with core competence in ICT. The curriculum designed by eminent professors very well exemplies the convergence of skills required by ICT. Research and development is the most important component of the educaton system, which puts the insttute at par with many other reputed insttutes in the country. Projects, which are aimed at providing practcal knowledge and experience, form an integral component of the educaton system. The curriculum is designed to produce competent and condent engineers with knowledge and expertse to meet the needs of current and future world. 4 DA-IICT oers a unique four-year Undergraduate Program leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Technology in Informaton and Communicaton Technology - B.Tech. (ICT). "ICT" embodies the convergence of Computer, Electronics and Communicaton Systems and has obtained wide acceptance as a distnct discipline. Since technological courses are introduced from the very rst semester, the student has the necessary background to specialize and delve deeper into specic sub-areas of knowledge within ICT in the later part of the Program. It is also expected that ICT graduates would enjoy a special niche since they have certain performance capabilites not found in conventonal CSE and/or ECE graduates. This is because given the unique interdisciplinary structure of the four-year-long B.Tech. program, the student acquires a good balance between the breadth demanded by comprehension at the systems level and the depth demanded by scientc understanding of the fundamentals. Electve courses consttute the bulk of the curriculum in the third and fourth years of study, which means that the student has the freedom to acquire prociency in her/his elds of interest. Group electves dierentate between students of core Informaton Technology, core Electronics and core Communicatons elds. Science electves are courses oered in the areas of Mathematcs and Engineering Sciences. Technical electves cover technical courses from various elds of Informaton and Communicaton Technology, and Open electves are courses oered from areas like Humanites, Social Sciences, Management and Engineering Arts including Design, which are not covered in the technical electves. The blend of theoretcal, technical and humanites courses available ensures a distnctve mental development of the students, whereby they are equally adept in the understanding of the theoretcal foundatons, practcal applicatons and social and cultural context related to the technology they are studying. Projects, which are aimed at providing practcal knowledge to students, form a signicant component in the educaton. PROGRAM OVERVIEW & CURRICULUM B.Tech.
