If you compare, you will find most of the subjects from Computer Engineering and CDAC are the same. The difference is in way of learning those same subjects. My Bachelor's degree is in IT and still I did CDAC because I had many uncleared concepts and doing CDAC was my best decision.
I fall for programming the way through.
- Most of the CDAC faculties are good at teaching and wooing you with programming concepts.
- You need to be good in .Net, Java, on of front end framework (Angular, React), etc as placement companies can ask for any skill set.
- Along with programming, you need to work on Aptitude also as it is the first filter criteria, and come companies take direct coding exams for a filter.
- Try to understand things, theoretical understanding does not have much value. but you are able to explain those theoretical concepts to an interviewer
- Students learn here through discussion and debates over concepts, make a group and discuss your concepts with your friends, if you are doing online cdac it's very important to make groups because in offline cdac students can easily make a group, can discuss easily.
- Group studies are happening.
- You would love to stay in the lab and write programs and fight over logic with your lab partner.
- You come to know how others' thinking processes work, and how they apply their learning.
- On-spot exams and tests.
- How to be in formal dress for more than 8 hrs.
- Real competence
- Hard work, smart work
- You might also make some new friends for life :)
CDAC tries to groom students, fresher and helps them to turn into industry-ready professionals. Who can work from start without any initial training? Learning on the job.
