Centre Preference Dilemma ?

While deciding preferences as to which CDAC centre should be kept first and which ones should be given a less priority are difficult decisions to make as you have to think about a lot of factors like Placement record of last year , no of seats , at my current rank which centre will i get , dost kaunsa college le raha hai ? Checking FB groups to see koi acchi ladki join karne vali hai ki nahi ?!


So a lot of areas have to thought before choosing preferences , right ? :P


So as always the prodigal son returns to save the day ! I will be sharing a list of preferences which me and my powerful friends (i am Batman fan , can't help ) have created for you to ease the process. Before you rush and copy the list just keep in mind to go through it as it is generic list which will be 90% applicable to WiMC and DAC and 75% for DITTIS , DESD and others.


Note : Being from ACTS , Pune i can say that you will get a ton of opportunities here in Pune, the market conditions are fantastic on-campus(through CDAC CCPP) and off-campus (Rawandale Uncle FTW ! ).I  have heard that its same in Banglore too. So these are the safest choices to be considered first.


Lets not bore you further and get right away to the preference list we ranked :


Preference List of CDAC ACTS Centres 




  1. CDAC ACTS , Pune

  2. CDAC ACTS , Bengaluru(Knowlege Park)

  3. CDAC ACTS , Bengaluru  (Electronics City)

  4. CDAC ACTS , Mumbai (Juhu)

  5. CDAC ACTS , Mumbai (Kharghar)

  6. CDAC ACTS , Hyderabad


Preference List of CDAC Authorized Training Centre :




  1. Sunbeam, Gultekdi

  2. IACSD, Akurdi

  3. VITA, Juhu

  4. Sunbeam,Karad


Combined List : 




  1. CDAC , ACTS . Pune.

  2. CDAC ACTS , Bengaluru(Knowlege Park

  3. CDAC ACTS , Bengaluru  (Electronics City)

  4. Sunbeam, Gultekdi

  5. CDAC ACTS , Mumbai (Juhu)

  6. CDAC ACTS , Mumbai (Kharghar)

  7. CDAC ACTS , Hyderabad

  8. VITA, Juhu

  9. IACSD, Akurdi

  10. Sunbeam, Karad


*Based on the feedback of August batch (2013) , placement records of CCPP of 2014 i have listed these centres and my research at the time i was filling preference list during my admission (Roughly 10-12 months back , its not stone age data i think).


Now , you must be thinking that we were  promised a full fledged list of preferences ready to be filled , where is it ! Well , to be honest i have no knowledge of the rest of the centers except the ones in the list and i hope you won't even need those (Best of luck ! ) :P

This is a gr8 job dat u hav done..but your analysis falls wrong for DESD and DSSD courses.

tahir said...

Thanks buddy...

Prabhash said...

Thank you for giving your feedback. We will try to provide branch specific data in two or three days.

somya said...

Some people said its not worth if u take admission except dac- pune and dac banglore kp.
They said is totally waste of money and time if u take admission in other center .
I m totally confused please help me.

Prabhash said...

Yep! I heard that too, that’s entirely wrong. Sunbeam Pune and CDAC Mumbai are also good option.
They might be(somewhat) correct if you consider the infrastructure, lab quality and faculty.

Ankit Ghate said...

Hi Somya ,
I was in ACTS,Pune and have friends working with me in my company who are from Sunbeam Gultekdi and VITA. They have given a very positive feedback regarding placements and faculty there . And as these centres do not have their own trainers they hire people to teach so most of the trainers who teach at ACTS teach at Sunbeam too. So dont worry Sunbeam and VITA are good options too.

Ankit Ghate said...

Thanks Arka for the feedback :)

ashutosh said...

Then what is the right preference for desd?

Ankit Ghate said...

Hi Ashutosh ,
For DESD i would suggest
1. CDAC Hyderabad
2. Banglore KP
2. ACTS , Pune
3. Sunbeam Gultekdi

srinivas said...

hello ankit, any idea about c-dac chennai and c-dac noida

Prabhash said...

Hi Shrinivas, My suggestion for you would be try for next c-cat if you are 2014 passout(meanwhile try off-campus). If you does not have any other options then join Noida as per my experience, when i was joining CDAC I didn't get anything positive about Chennai.

Ankit Ghate said...

Srinivas , Currently i have no idea about these centres . We could assist you furthur if you tell us what course/centre you opt for and what rank you got.
Thanks.

somya said...

Azeez Husain said...

Hi Prasad,
Yes sunbeam is one of the best options. It also offers a good campus placement opportunities.
And considering ur course i.e. divesd u are eligible for both desd and dvlsi campus placements.

beoptimus said...

what about E-city B'lore for DAC

Ameya said...

Hi,
My CCAT rank is 469(A+B) and above my rank 128 students are applicable for DITISS, I applied only for DITISS. Will I get to ACTS Pune??
Is placement for DITISS from ACTS, Pune good??? I heard as seats for this course are very less companies are not intrested in it......

Prabhash said...

Hi,
There are total 140 seats for DITISS. So you will get a admission for sure but getting ACTS Pune is tough luck. However that also depends on the choices the other 128 will make. It might be possible that the people among the 128 opt for courses other than DITISS. I have a friend who has done DITISS from Bangalore and he is placed in Fujitsu. If you get Bangalore than you can go for it.

Mudit said...

Which one is better sunbeam or knowledge park banglore?

Prabhash said...

Both are good. K.P. Bangalore does have some advantage being CDAC official center. If I have chooses any one I will toss a coin.

pooja said...

hi , i got in bangalore authorised center for my ranking 3200. please help me in selecting centers. Is there any chance i could get in bangalore knowledge park or electronic city???? If not please help me in selecting in best authorised centers.

Ankit Ghate said...

Pooja , i would suggest that you try for second and third counselling and see if you can get VITA , IACSD or any of the two Subeam branches.

Ankit Ghate said...

HI all ,
We all work in offices so you know that shitty WebSense and IT Security Polices which stop us from accessing Social Networking websites , personal mails and IMs . So a small request to you guys is that you post your queries in comments as we are able to access WordPress from our desks (Luckily !) and we would be able to reply to you here faster than our Facebook page (We have one , dammit. Just search “CdacQuest” , i soo need to hire a PR).

Thanks :)

pooja said...

Hey, how is that vimarshana marthahalli center in bangalore????

Ankit Ghate said...

Sorry , no idea.

Chaitanya said...

Hello,

I have been alloted DITISS in Bangalore e-city. how are the placements in this field?

any basics i need to study as i'm from EC backgound

Ankit Ghate said...

There is always a requirement for a good network admin so i would say the placements are average as if not on-campus you will certainly get off-campus opportunities.

I don't have much experience in Networking but would suggest you brush up your networking concepts before joining. Rest i am not much aware of placements in Banglore E-city for DITISS.

Gagan said...

I got Sunbeam Karad for PGDAC.My DAC rank is 1818.My prefernces are-
1.CDAC Pune
2.Sunbeam Pune
3.Cdac Banglr KP
4.Cdac Banglr Ecity
5.Sunbeam Karad
6.IACSD Pune
7.CDAC Hyderabad
Can i get Cdac Banglore or go for 2nd counselling?

Prabhash said...

If you haven't paid 10000 pay that. Sunbeam karad is not among the bottom of the list. So if you want you can go for karad.
You still have chance to get Sunbeam PUNE in first counselling final list which they will give after the payment process completes.

Ameya said...

Got Pune ACTS..... Thanks

pooja said...

Sneh said...

Hi, I got sunbeam gultekdi. My rank in A+B is 799, should i go for second round, Is this center good.

Prabhash said...

Yes Sunbeam is good center.

mayuri sengar said...

i got iacsd pune... How is the placement there... is there a dress code and should i join it as many ppl above r saying nly cdac centres r good....do tell...???

Prabhash said...

CDAC does not guaranties that you will have job at the end of the course. It will provide plenty of chances if you fulfill all the company criteria. So even after joining ACTS you might not land a job.( As you have 79% aggregate assuming including 10th and 12th you won't have that problem).
