Demand
Trends
Gujarat's ACPC data shows CSE/IT filling 80%+ seats, with AI/ML variants
surging; avg packages ₹10-22 LPA at top colleges like IIT Gandhinagar and Nirma.
·
CSE/AI/ML/IT: Highest
placements (Amazon, TCS); low seat vacancies.
·
ECE: Booming with
Adani/Siemens recruiters.
·
Emerging: Data Science,
Cybersecurity; Civil/Mechanical rebounding (20% seats filled vs. past lows).
College Availability
All queried colleges (ITNU, LDCE, LJIET, IITRAM, VGEC) offer these;
prioritize CSE cutoffs (e.g., VGEC Round 1: 116).
New engineering courses gaining demand in Gujarat for 2026 include Data
Science & Engineering, AI/ML, Cybersecurity, and Robotics, fueled by IT
growth, semiconductors, and infra projects. These build on CSE/IT bases at
colleges like VGEC, ITNU, and LJIET, with high placements (₹10+ LPA avg).
Emerging Branches
·
Data
Science & Engineering: Offered at VGEC; analytics/ML focus for Adani/Reliance
jobs.
·
AI
& Machine Learning: Across ITNU/LJIET; booming with 5G/IoT demand.
·
Cybersecurity: IT extensions
at LDCE/VGEC; critical for fintech hubs.
·
Robotics
& Automation: ECE variants at IITRAM; manufacturing surge.
Students avoid these despite Gujarat's infra boom,
favoring tech fields:
·
Civil
Engineering: 40-50% vacancies; avg ₹4-5 LPA; rebounding slowly with
GIFT City projects.
·
Mechanical
Engineering: Oversupply; 30-40% empty seats; median ₹4.5 LPA despite
manufacturing.
·
Electrical
(non-Power Electronics): Low demand; students prefer CSE variants.
