______________________________________________
NOW a day lot of the graduates and post graduates are wondering most of the times on which course they should go for. What are the pros & cons of joining a particular centre of CDAC. Here is a comprehensive information on how to enroll ourselves for a course in CDAC. The below discussion is based on my explorations and my own experience as i have worked for cdac for more than a year.
Although cdac does not guarantee any placement but you can grab many opportunities having a bit of idea about it.

1. CDAC HYDERABAD: The centre is known to have the best training environment for all type of courses. However, it is best known for DSSD based on the stats. CDAC HYDERABAD is the centre which organizes the common entrance test and is well known for its comprehensive training. 

COURSE PREFERENCE: DSSD, DESD, DABC

PLACEMENT: 7/10

2. CDAC PUNE: The centre is known to have the most successful in attracting a large percentage of trainees each time, a very good option for electronics people. Placement record is much better as compared to bangalore and noida. 

COURSE PREFERENCE : DESD, DABC, CDAD, CNSS
PLACEMENT : 8/10

3.  CDAC BANGALORE: The centre is well known for its infrastructure and training facilites. CDAC BANGLORE is a good option for DESD as well as DAC.

COURSE PREFERENCE: DAC, DESD, DSSD
PLACEMENT : 7/10


CDAC NOIDA and CDAC MOHALI are the two more & good options but the three i have discussed are the most reputed both in terms of placement and training environment. 

If your choice of course selection does not match with what i have given above, thats not an issue. Whatever i am posting is on a good exploration based on the previous records. I wish he best to you all regarding your courses.

My experience in brief:

1. CDAC is one of the top courses by government of India in post graduate courses

2. The certification has a very good reputation and has a remarkable place in the market

3. You should go for CDAC rather than sitting idle and wasting your time. A little sincerity in CDAC will definitely serve your purpose.

4. Placement is up to you and on the batch. If you are from a good lot of students, you will get more opportunties. Your performance in CDAC will also play a crucial role. So dont overlook the course while thinking about placements all the time.

Hi Anup Good morning...
I want to ask about the pacement at CDAC-PUNE for DESD...One of my senior told me, who was passout of pune that 6 to 7 company will allow for DESD students and average package is arround 15k to 20k...so m very much worried about it because after spending so much money if i got this much salary then it will be a big wound for my family because i belong to a village and my financial condition is not good...
So leased give me the true picture...Because having heared about salary m lanning to leave the Idea of CDAC course...
And also tell me if there any loan facility available ? and how can i avail it...?
Thank you very much...
anup said…
Is not like that. Nothing is better than CDAC PUNE. IT depends on the company but this much package is offered by only those companies who come at the last. Reputed companies have their own policies. Company never pay on their wish. There are well defined policies behind that. Its not a fish market for which they do bargaining or like that. I am not sure of the companies which are small and used to come at the end.
Unknown said…
Which one u would suggest in terms of placmnt,, iascd akurdi or sunbeamKarad?,, iascd akurdi Is better than sunbeam Karad? Or sunbeam Karad is better than akurdi?
don't go for Cdac Noida or Cdac Chennai fill for IACSD, Akurdi insted of Cdac Noida as only few small company come in Noida and chennai center....so fill any institute which under Pune Zone Their Placement Records are Excellent...and many company come with high package...
Sunbeam Karad Have same Faculty as Sunbeam so in term of Teaching Sunbeam Karad is Better and For Placement Their are common placement organized by pune institute where all institute student under pune zone participate together......their is no difference in placement...as every one gets equal chance....

sir my rank is 1170 in A+B+C, any chance to get the banglore and hybd center for DESD? plz reply soon m very worried about that....what to do?
anup said…
There is a chance to get Hyd and / or Bangalore. All the best. You may get Bangalore(elctronics city). which is also a good option.
anup said…
DESD has been best at PUNE always. Look for PUNE CDAC then SUNBEAM PUNE. After that Bangaluru (KP) and then HYD or u can chose HYD DESD aslo. that is also good. But out of HYD and PUNE. Dont keep any confusion. PUNE is best. Better to gor for DESD than DIVESD. I will never suggest Noida. Its not good in terms of placemnt.
anup said…
CDAC ACTS PUNE has always been better for DAC. M-Tech might not give u much advantage. But that is still a positive side of urs. U have got anice rank. Just go ahead fro Pune.
Unknown said…
@ashish banglore kp is better than banglore ecity but let me tell u one thing that one of my friend had told me that banglore kp main pillers ( the faculty) has left that centre.....so nothing is left in banglore centre now rather u should opt for either pune or hyderabad
Unknown said…
thank you so much for ur reply & for clearing my doubts....anup bhai i have 1 more doubt u say many time in previous replies that DESD is better than DIVESD but i am not able to make out why ??

coz i had matched the modules of DESD & DVLSI with DIVESD & most of the major topics are same & at sunbeam pune even the faculties are same then why students are not getting placed after doing it while DESD students are getting placed in bulk.....can you pls help me with that too ??
Unknown said…

Sir I am not concerned about having an advantage of being an MTech but will i at least get equal opurtunities as BE students will get?
Is there any trend that MTech students wont be concerned for placements like that?

Hi Sir,

I have a concern regarding the counseling. suppose i got cdac bnglr which was my third priority after 1st counseling. and i paid 10000. after the second round, there was no change. my question is if some people withdraw the amount after second round, is it possible for me to get higher preferences? or is it like there wont be any change after the second round for those who paid the amount for the allocated seats and didnt withdrawn the amount before second counseling. i am really confused. pls help me to understand it sir.

anup said…
DESD PUNE, Sunbeam Pune, Sunbeam Karad, CDAC KP BAngalore u can put on.
anup said…
Try for these 1) acts pune.
2) sunbeam pune.
3) iacsd
4) Bangalore KP

At this Rank u can get of these.... All the best
anup said…
Primary Option should be Pune DESD that is ACTS Pune. All the best
anup said…
Pune HQ has always beent he best. No doubt on that.
anup said…
CDAC Noida is not good at all. Kindly dont go there. Placements has not been so good there.
anup said…
After Pune, For DESD you should chose Bangalore KP, Bangalore Ecity and then DESD HYD.
anup said…
WIMC from ACTS PUNE WOULD BE BETTER as u will get more placement options there. for WIMC UR options may be like: Pune and then Banglore KP.
For DAC: PUNE ACTS, Sunbeam Pune, Bangalore KP etc.
anup said…
IACSD PUNE can be better than ECITY as it share Common placement as ACTS bangalore. You will get more options there.
anup said…
Thsi question is diffcilut to answer as we are not much familiar with what they follow. Kindly get it confirmed from the CDAC itself.
anup said…
Sunbeam Pune is quite difficult. You may get IACSD PUNE. That would be a good option too. But try for Bangalore KP before IACSD. All the best.
anup said…
I think higher preferences would be given in such case but what is the exact scenario u must confirm that.
Unknown said…
IACSD Pune share Common Placement as ACTS Bangalore means?? As far as I know e-city shares ccpp with ACTS Bangalore and IACSD shares ccpp with ACTS pune. Sir please confirm my query.

Thanks
anup said…
Yeas I am saying that only. I said about CCPP only. IACSD and ACTS PUNE has same set of companies for the drive as there is common palcemets scheme. So it can give you more options. How much more, cant say.

Hi Anup,
I have got 1076 rank in pgdac and there are 961 candidates above me. I am a 2011 b.tech. pass out with 60+% and have got 65+% in 10 & 12.So i want to know:
1. Will i am going to face any problem in placement?
2. What do you think about cdac noida( as i am from delhi thats why i want to join it but not at the cost of studies and placement)
anup said…
You have 60 perc thorough out , thats a good thing. Batch might cut off some options but u will get ample opportunities. Try for sunbeam insitutes in Pune, like IACSD, Sunebam KARAD after sunbeam Pune. If u get any of these, thats good.

Will never suggest u CDAC Noida. Its not good at all in terms of placement. I has not been good.
Unknown said…
Anup sir
I enquired both acts nd sunbeam students
I found that teachings at sunbeam is superior than acts
Nd people join acts for tag only
So whats advantage of joining acts if teaching is not so good?
anup said…
If this is like that u can join sunbeam. Joining Sunbeam also will give u the same reputation. Thanks for the kind of information which can be helpful to guide others. All the best...
Unknown said…
For dac course I heard at acts there r not good teachers
Unknown said…
Thank you for your assistance.
anup said…
One of my junior also said that but he did DAC frm sunbeam KARAD. He also said sunbeam ahs good faculties. So u can go fr that.

Sir
I had appeared in C-CAT CDAC post graduate diploma entrance exam for august 2014 batch.I secured 1586 rank in A+B+C.718 students are above my rank in DIVESD and 312 students are above my rank in DASS.It is requested to please tell me what is possibility of mine getting admission in DASS in Bangalore and for DIVESD in any center.
Thanking you
anup said…
Yes DASS KP would be got. You may get it. Its better than DIVESD. If we talk abt DIVESD, its in NOIDA only and noida is not good in terms of placements.
Unknown said…
But the tag like acts student is worth anyhow? ?? Does it matter wecr doing cdac from HQ or frok private institute?
Anonymous said…
Sir
In which councelling(first or second) I could able to get admission in DASS.Sir also tell me about placements of DASS & DIVESD.
anup said…
No it does no matter. U will get the same degree or certificate and it has got the same value.
anup said…
That I cant predict. On the basis of ranks its difficult to suggest anyone!! The only thing I can tell u is to go for DASS bcs the other course is in NOIDA which will not give u much options in terms of placemtns
Surely some company require M.tech so its depends on Company Criteria during Placement.......since company criteria is superior above all above course....
Unknown said…
my rank 2004 in A+B section.and also 1745 are applied for dac course so plz tell me can i able to get a seat in sunbeam or iacsd pune?

You can get Bangalore DAC or HYD DAC. Still you should try for Sunbeam , Iacsd. all the best
anup said…
Not much idea of Infrastructure but u also know that PUNE ACTS and Sunbeam are the two best. So why to think on the other side. I think u will get the hostel facilities too. With such a good rank dont think of going to Bangalore or HYD.

Hi there. My overall rank is 1277. Should i go for DAC or DITISS. what are the prospects for DITISS as far as placements and the faculty is concerned in pune , bang , noida , hyd.

thanks
anup said…
You should chose DAC rather than DITISS as far as the placement is concerned. CDAC noida is not good in terms of placemnt. Centres at Pune (CDAC PUNE, SUNBEAM) are good both in terms of placemnts and faculties.

Place sunbeam institutes after ACTS PUNE. that is: CDAC PUNE, Sunbeam PUNE, Sunbeam Karad, IACSD Pune and then bangalore......They all havse common placemnt with ACTS PUNE
anup said…
Its hard to believe that they did not respond to such mails. This is something really bad. Now there is no choice except wait for the second counselling. When did u write the last mail??
anup said…
Chances for Pune are less but u will get sunbeam institutes at Pune like Gultekdi, Karad or IACSD Pune. that will give u same number of opportunities like ACTS PUNE as they share common placemnts.

Sir I have applied for DESD(632) and VIESD(384). so can i get cdac banglore or cdac hydeabad for desd and sunbeam gultekdi for viesd......

3)since already one year gap ,instead of going for mba will it be right for me to trust dasdm course for my placement after one year or after one year will there be any chance of myself at same state of searching job after completion of dasdm(well i will give my input cent percent in dasdm study) b'coj now i really want to go in IT sector for some years instead of doing mba right now ..should i trust cdac for my placement or go for mba ?

thanks in advance for future reply and thanks for previous replies

Your year gap will not create problems I think . To answer ur query u need to tell me abt u more. Whats ur C-CAT rank and from which branch u are.

U said IASDM. is it IACSD or what?? I am not getting u. Kindly repost ur query
anup said…
Yes u may get E-city. There is no need to prefer DITISS Pune over Bang Ecity. You r going right. Bangalore eCity is also a good centre. I also share common placemtns with Bangalore KP. Ur preferences r fine,. Let see what u r going to get... all the best!!
anup said…
Sorry I have mistype d my last answer. I said if u r not satisfied and if it seems there r no chances to grow it is always better to join institute like CDAC. Youi should go for it. I just want to know if u have given CCAT this time??

i did engineering in computer science(2009-13) .and my academic report is matriculation-87.66% intermediate-79.2% engineering-61.32% ,only issue is i have now a year gap due to backlogs which i have cleared in march 2014. i have not given c-cat due to some reasons.... i am giving dasdm cet .and for this course i have selected IASCD pune as my training centre while filling up the form.(once chosen the center we will have to take admission in the selected center only if cleared cet ,no other center we can opt for then )

thanks
anup said…
You can definitely trust CDAC, IACSD is also good but the only thing is that DASDM is not so old course and we dont have any stats on DASDM. Its better to check DASDM placements on CDAC' site. I already checked it but its giving error as of now. We are not able to open any of the DASDM's pageon CDAC's site. You can keep on checking. http://acts.cdac.in/dasdm/Overview.aspx. As the course is not so old, u need to check its past records once. Kindly go through this.
Placment link is: http://acts.cdac.in/dasdm/Placement.aspx. Wait for the link to work before telling anything.

i think dasdm is new course started by them .... n its homepage is cdac.in/dasdm . but no any data on placement . but they have mentioned in website that region wise common placement will be conducted by cdac itself for pune ,mumbai , delhi , n banglore region . and as you are saying and i am getting info about reputation of cdac pune center , i think they will organise placements properly if they have started the course . . what u think ?
anup said…
If there is a common palcemnt dor DASDM also, then this is much better. Although this is a new course but I think its scope is good. let the other links working. Yes they try their best each time to organize placemnts well. getting a good centre would be better.

Sir i apply for wimc course &i m ece student is it suitable for me or not and above my rank2002 students apply for wimc can i get good institute ? Plz reply me
Unknown said…
Wht is the criteriya cdac placement?
My b.e. 62% , 12th 54%, 10th 67% so wht is my chances
anup said…
Yes, Wimc course suits you and is a good course in its content. Its difficult tto say on the basis of ur rank as of now. If u ask me preferences (order of institutes) I can answer.
Because of ur 12th Percentage, few options would be cut off for u. It totally depends on the company, its criteria , its policy. So I can only say u will get lesser no of options and may get many.
Anonymous said…
My center will be IACSD PUNE if i clear cet for DASDM..because i have chosen IACSD while filling the form and cant change option . kindly note dasdm will be given in only sunbeam ,iacsd, iet at pune and it wont be given at cdac pune(own) center but fees payment have to be paid in favour of cdac pune.

AS you said in previous replies ,iacsd is good option next to sunbeam .and has got good faculties so thinking about competition and chances of getting into selected center on the basis of seats and rank in any center i chose IACSD ...its not about being negative before result .its just because in the website they have said if i choose any center and if i dont get that center ,i cant select other center after result. i mean if i choose sunbeam and if i dont get it due to tough competition or low rank then i cant opt for neither IACSD nor IET PUNE .not even for TICA-MUMBAI .. SINCE placement is common so i chose IACSD which is next to sunbeam .... sounds funny the explanation i have given for selecting 2nd option instead of best option sunbeam while filling form . but i did so that i should get selected in the center i chose :)

I Have never said that sunbeam is not better than HYD. You can keep sunbeam karad as well as IACSD before bang too.

Finally from my side the prefereces shgould be like thT:
ACTS PIUNE, SUNBEAM PUNE, KARAD, IACSD, BANG KP AND THEN HyD

Sunbeam Gultekdi is much better than Bang KP. Congrats to have it!! You should go for it....
anup said…
First of all congrats for having Sunbeam Pune, Its a good centre in both aspects (teaching & placemtns). Faculty will not be common I think but placemnts are common. They all share same campus placemnt so as to attract more companies. You should go for it.

Sunbeam gultekdi is veru good both in termms of placemnts as well as training environment. It actually comes after Acts Pune. But I think If u get DESD then it would be more good. Let see for the second counselling.
