  The CDAC Exam, conducted on the 28th and 29th of January 2023, saw a huge turnout with around 25000 to 30000 students appearing for the test. The results were declared on the 9th of February 2023, and the first counselling round started from the 9th of February to the 15th of February 2023. Despite the massive number of applicants, many students are still unaware of the cutoffs for various institutes and tend to fill the forms incorrectly. To help such students, this blog will provide an overview of the previous year cutoffs for the PG-DAC course. The cutoffs mentioned here are only tentative and meant to serve as a reference. The cutoffs will give you an idea of the minimum marks you need to secure to get admission into the various institutes offering the PG-DAC course. CDAC CCAT Rank is based on the A+B section  For Those who want to take admission for the DAC, DBDA, DITISS, DAI, DMC, DASSD, HPCSA, DFBD, DCSF.and A+B+C section For those who want to take admission in DESD, ...

Understanding C-DAC's PG Diploma Admission Process: Counselling and Seat Allocation

Image
C-DAC's PG Diploma admission process is a complex process that involves two counselling sessions and three rounds of seat allocations. It is essential to understand the process thoroughly to ensure you make the right choices. 1. During the counselling stage, candidates need to fill in their preferences for courses and training centres online. Based on the course-centre preferences given by the candidates during the first choice filling, two rounds of seat allocations are done. First Cap Round :- (Round 1 & Round 2) 2. Candidates are allocated seats strictly based on the order of preferences of courses and centres given by them during the counselling, depending on their C-CAT ranks( Note:- Always give 1st prefrences to good centres/institues) . 3. If a candidate's rank is not good enough to get them their top preferences in the first round of seat allocations, they may be offered their lower preferred courses/centres depending on their ranks. 4. If candidates get their first...
