DAIICT BTech admission 2020
Application registration for DAIICT BTech admission 2020 began on 12 March this year.
DAIICT BTech Admission 2020 is being conducted by Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DAIICT) for undergraduate courses in engineering.
The admission for undergraduate engineering courses is offered for three streams namely B.Tech (ICT), B.Tech (Honours) in ICT with minor in CS and B.Tech (MnC).
B.Tech (Information and Communication Technology):
This course embodies the convergence of Computer and Communication systems and has obtained wide acceptance as a distinct discipline.
ICT is considered to be a discipline dealing with accessing, storage, processing, transmission, reception and display of information, primarily using digital systems and techniques.
The curriculum in the B.Tech (ICT) program tries to address the optimized convergence of existing Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) as well as Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) disciplines by identifying the broad areas of performance capabilities.
B.Tech (Honours) in ICT with minor in Computational Science:
Computational Science is concerned with constructing mathematical models, simulating and quantitative analysis techniques and using computers to analyze and solve scientific problems with applications in engineering and social sciences.
In Computational Science, unlike the traditional theoretical and experimental approaches, scientists and engineers gain understanding mainly through the analysis of mathematical models implemented on computers.
Typically, these models require massive amounts of calculations and are often executed on high performance computing backbone consisting of supercomputers or distributed computing or several inter-connected clusters of workstations and personal computers.

The curriculum in B.Tech (Honours) in ICT with minor in Computational Science aims to provide expertise to the students in techniques involved in modelling and simulation of complex and large scale systems, implementation on computers through parallel and high performance computing techniques and finally analysis and visualization of these large scale data sets.
Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Mathematics and Computing (MnC):
Maths and Computing (MnC) is a fusion of Mathematics and Computer Science that has obtained wide acceptance as a distinct discipline over the past few years.
It arises out of dealing with Mathematics as a fundamental tool in computing and with Computing as a primary component of mathematical problem solving.

The program has been specially designed to meet the increasing needs of professionals who would be able to respond to the convergence between mathematical and computational problem solving.
The program aims at expanding the mathematical, algorithmic and computational thinking of students and at providing sufficient and solid foundation for skill development in MnC.
A strong mathematical foundation would enable the study and analysis of abstract concepts and to model many real life problems mathematically, algorithmic thinking would provide ways to solve these mathematical problems in an automated way and computational thinking would allow for evaluating the efficiency of these solutions.
The program aims to provide exposure to the students who wish to build a professional career in MnC, working at the cutting edge of technology, research and development.
