Hello aspirant!
DAIICT Gandhinagar uses JEE Main ranks for admission. In 2024, the closing ranks for All India general category were as follows:
Mathematics & Computing was highly competitive, closing around rank 80.
The core ICT stream closed near rank 139.
Electronics & VLSI was a bit less competitive, closing around rank 290.
If you belong to OBC or EWS, the cutoff ranks tend to be slightly higher, with some streams closing around rank 350 to 680. Your chances of admission depend on your JEE Main rank and the specific stream you choose.
So, if your JEE Main rank is around 80 to 150, you could aim for top streams like Mathematics & Computing or core ICT. Ranks between 150 and 300 may still get you into Electronics & VLSI.
All the best!
