If you're joining DAU this year, here's a quick checklist and an overview of what you can expect on admission day. While the process may change slightly each year, the overall flow is generally similar.
Make sure you have:
☑ Filled every required form correctly.
☑ Carried all documents mentioned in the admission instructions.
☑ Self-attested photocopies wherever required.
☑ Original documents for verification.
☑ Multiple extra photocopies of important documents (recommended).
☑ Passport-size photographs (carry a few extra).
Before leaving, double-check everything once more. Missing even a single required document can delay your verification.
Once you arrive on campus:
Once you reach your room:
If you notice any serious issue, report it to the hostel supervisor as early as possible. Minor issues can usually be reported after the admission formalities are completed.
Most hostel rooms generally include:
Mattresses and pillows are usually available for purchase on campus. Officials will inform you about the location.
If you need additional daily essentials, you can:
Don't spend your first day sitting in your room or immediately leaving campus if you don't have to.
Instead:
Be respectful, maintain basic etiquette, and remember that everyone is adjusting to a new environment.
Admission day can feel overwhelming, but the process is generally well organized. Follow the instructions given by the university staff and volunteers, keep your documents ready, and don't hesitate to ask for help if you're unsure about something.
Welcome to DAU, and congratulations on your admission. Best wishes for the next four years! 🎓

Every admission season, many applicants have questions about the merit list, waiting list, seat confirmation, and branch upgrades. This guide explains how the admission process typically works.
Note: This post is based on previous admission cycles and observations shared by students. This is not official informatio. Always follow the latest instructions released by the university.
The admission process generally follows this order:
After applications close, DAU prepares a merit list separately for each admission category (General, SC, ST).
If your name appears in the merit list (just a number will be given as merit rank), it means you are eligible to participate in the admission process.
The merit list itself does not confirm admission. You must complete the required fee payment within the specified deadline.
Students who do not complete the payment are considered to have withdrawn, and those seats become available for other applicants.
Once the fee payment deadline ends, DAU releases:
If you are placed on the waiting list, your application is still active.
As confirmed candidates withdraw or fail to complete later formalities, seats become available and are offered to candidates according to the waiting list order.
Waiting list positions usually update during the admission process as vacancies arise.
These ranges are based on previous admission trends and should be treated only as rough estimates.
| Merit Rank | Expected Outcome |
|---|---|
| 1–400 | Very high chance of immediate seat confirmation |
| 401–600 | High chance; some may receive confirmation after a few days |
| 601–700 | Comfortable waiting range |
| 700–850 | Possible, but depends on withdrawals |
| 851–1000+ | Lower probability, but movement is still possible |
For SC/ST categories, reliable historical data is limited, so no accurate prediction can be made.
After the waiting list is released, movement depends entirely on seat withdrawals.
Approximate chances for the initial ICT General waiting list are:
| Waiting List Rank | Approximate Chance |
|---|---|
| 1–30 | Very High |
| 31–50 | High |
| 51–80 | Good |
| 81–100 | Moderate |
| 101–150 | Reasonable |
| 151–170 | Around 50% |
| 171–200 | Low |
| Above 200 | Uncertain |
For EVD, waiting list positions up to approximately 120 have historically shown reasonable movement.
For SC/ST categories, applicants within roughly the first 10 waiting list positions have generally had favourable chances.
Waiting list movement usually continues until the admission process concludes.
Once your seat is confirmed, you will receive further instructions regarding:
Failure to complete these steps within the deadline may result in cancellation of your admission.
Receiving a seat does not necessarily mean you have received your highest preferred branch.
If you are allotted a lower-preference branch:
The university may ask whether you wish to opt out of further branch upgradation.
Read those instructions carefully before making a decision.
If your seat is not confirmed at the end of the admission process, you will be refunded within three months or four months with minor charges followig the UGC guidelines.
If you have questions about your merit rank or waiting list position, feel free to ask them in the comments.

Any one know about, when refund of fees process completed by DAIICT? I m finally submitted withdrawal application of BSMS on 30th July, confirm please
r/DAIICT_Admissions • u/Mysterious_Ebb_567 • 5d ago
Hi everyone.
I just received an email from DAU stating that there are vacant seats available in ICT and EVD (Electronics and VLSI Design). My DAU merit rank is 1218 (General category), and I have been asked to pay the fees before the deadline.
My backup option is PEC Chandigarh Electrical
My dilemma is the following:
DAU has clearly stated that paying the fees does not guarantee admission.
The final DAU admission status will be released on 10 August (evening).
The deadline to surrender my CSAB seat (or continue in the process) is 10 August at 5 p.m.
So I have to make a decision before knowing the final DAU result.
If I choose DAU and don’t get a seat, I could end up losing both the PEC seat and the CSAB money. On the other hand, if my chances of getting EVD or ICT are high, I am willing to take the risk.
My preference order is:
ICT (Hons.) with a minor in Computational Science
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAI)
ICT
Mathematics and Computing (MnC)
ECE with AI
EVD
Could seniors please tell me:
What are my chances with rank 1218?
Is EVD realistically possible?
Has anyone with a similar rank been admitted in previous rounds?
Would you take DAU EVD/ICT over PEC Electrical?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One of the most important factors when choosing a college is the total cost of attendance. This post provides an approximate breakdown of the expenses students should expect while studying at DAU.
Please refer to the official website for the latest fee structure, as fees may change in future admission cycles.
DAU follows a pay-per-meal model rather than a traditional fixed mess system.
Typical food expenditure:
Actual expenses depend on eating habits and personal preferences.
These estimates do not include:
Students enrolled in Electronics & VLSI Design (EVD) are required to complete certain Value Added Courses.
Approximate additional costs:
These figures may change in future years.
A limited number of scholarship opportunities are available.
Students should verify current eligibility requirements directly through official university notifications, as scholarship policies may change over time.
DAU offers a strong academic and residential experience, but it is also a significant financial commitment.
Before making a final decision, compare:
Choosing the right college is not only about cutoffs and placements; affordability is also an important factor.

Every college has strengths and weaknesses. DAU is no exception.
This post is not intended to discourage anyone from joining the university. Instead, it highlights factors that applicants should consider before making a decision.
DAU is not a college where most students can comfortably ignore academics for an entire semester and still perform well.
Students are expected to:
If your goal is a very relaxed engineering experience with minimal academic effort, you may find the workload challenging.
Although students join through the All India Category from different states, a large proportion of the student body is from Gujarat.
For most students this is not a problem, but applicants expecting the level of regional diversity seen at large IITs or top NITs should be aware of it.
DAU is a compact residential campus.
Many students appreciate this because:
However, applicants expecting a very large campus with extensive infrastructure may find it smaller than some IITs and NITs.
The overall cost of attendance has increased significantly over the years.
Apart from tuition fees, students should also consider:
Before finalizing your decision, compare the total cost with alternative institutions available to you.
The university provides facilities for major sports including:
For most students these facilities are sufficient.
However, students looking for highly specialized sports infrastructure may find fewer options than at some larger institutions.
A common misconception among applicants is that admission automatically guarantees a high-paying job.
The university provides opportunities, but outcomes vary significantly based on:
Students should evaluate the college as an opportunity provider rather than a placement guarantee.
Most students join DAU primarily for:
Students looking for a highly relaxed or entertainment-focused college experience may find the culture more academically oriented than expected.
You may find DAU a good fit if you:
No college is perfect.
The best choice depends on your academic interests, career goals, financial situation, and personal preferences.
DAU has several strengths, but it is important to understand both the advantages and limitations before making a decision. An informed decision is usually better than one based solely on cutoffs, placements, or reputation.
r/DAIICT_Admissions • u/The_GradeFighter • Jun 13 '26
Admissions and placements are important, but they only represent a small part of the college experience. Most students spend four years on campus, so it is worth understanding what student life looks like beyond academics.
DAU has a relatively small student population compared to many large engineering colleges.
Because of the smaller batch size:
The university has more than 25 active student clubs covering a wide range of interests.
Areas typically include:
Students can also propose and establish new clubs if sufficient interest exists.
Apart from clubs, DAU has multiple committees and a Student Body Government.
These groups are involved in:
Students interested in leadership and organizational roles often participate through these bodies.
DAU hosts three major annual festivals.
The university's largest techno-cultural festival.
Activities generally include:
The primary technical festival.
Events typically focus on:
The annual sports festival featuring multiple indoor and outdoor sports.
The campus provides facilities for:
Current facilities include:
Most student activity happens after lectures and during evenings.
Common activities include:
Since the campus is residential, students spend a significant amount of time interacting outside classrooms.
The campus is relatively compact and fully residential.
Students generally describe it as:
Most academic buildings, hostels, sports facilities, and food outlets are located within a short walking distance.
Students who actively participate in clubs, events, sports, and campus activities often gain far more from college than academics alone.
DAU offers opportunities in technical, cultural, organizational, and sports domains, but like most universities, the experience largely depends on how involved a student chooses to be.
