Should you pick Diploma IT at Rai University?
This course suits students who want a product-company job and can live in a Saroda campus near Dholka for three years.
Pick it if:
You passed Class 10 in Gujarat: half the seats are Gujarat, so a merit number that misses the Institute list can still get in.
You want product companies, not only service IT: the course-wise placement table lists the same four product recruiters in each of the last three years.
Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the tuition fee in six parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You count on last year's close: it got tougher three years in a row, so use the checker before you pay.
You need a single room from the first year: first-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3.
You want internships in a big city: this is a Saroda campus near Dholka, so the placement cell brings most internships here.
You wait until July: the ACPDC choice window can close fast, so fill your choices before the fee date.

Freeze this course if round 1 gives it to you on a Gujarat merit number. If you are Institute and below the round 1 close, float it and keep a safer college above it.

In short
Ahmedabad costs less and pays more on average, but its closing merit number is about 3,000 places tougher. If your merit number clears both, take Ahmedabad; if it clears only Rai University, take this seat and do not wait for the later round.
In short
Ahmedabad places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over three years and pays a little less. If its easier closing merit number is what you need, keep it one place below Rai University in your choice list as the safer seat.
In short
Harbour charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If Rai University gives you a seat in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
Ahmedabad costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing merit number. If your merit number misses Rai University in the early rounds, list Ahmedabad right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
Summit is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If Rai University allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on Rai University Diploma IT
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is Diploma IT at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.33 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 4.8 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my merit number is just above the closing merit number?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General Gujarat seat closed at merit number 38 in round 6 and it got tougher three years in a row, so a merit number that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the merit number checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get software jobs with IT services companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 4.8 LPA, the median was INR 4.2 LPA and 92% of the batch was placed. If you want a core electronics job instead, this course is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a Saroda campus near Dholka, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better merit number?▾
Only if you can raise your merit number by a lot, not a little. The General closing merit number got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a course change after year 1 if you want a sibling course.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 92% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 4.2 LPA is lower than the average of INR 4.8 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this course better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick Diploma IT if you want a software job and ECE if you want a core electronics job. Diploma IT places a bigger share of its batch with product companies, and its closing merit number is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want Diploma IT, the course change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the ACPDC merit exam and fill this college in your ACPDC choice list. A seat comes in the round your merit number clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days ACPDC gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 3-year fee is INR 1.33 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 3.73 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee every semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
