Overview of life at CDAC ACTS



Note: This was posted on January 2013, information may change with time or even mislead you, please i request readers to apply some common sense and not to trust every word blindly. This thread is closed for comments. Please don't expect answer for your comments as this is old post and I no longer in touch with what is current situation.

Welcome! New Aspirants. Happy New Year to you all. I am a 2012 year pass out and pursuing PG-DAC from CDAC Bangalore.
Bangalore seems me to be a very fascinating place. I have been here for nearly 5 months now and just have fallen in love with the breeze here.
CDAC is a government organization which provides training to IT individuals as per Industry Standards. I have seen the change in myself. I thought during college life that I know much and is good in my field as a Fresher but it all seems it was my perception, now. Here, I got to learn aspects of IT industry that a fresher cannot imagine by himself. The approach to learn was such that Coding now seems to be the easiest part in industry.
For those who are about to join, I can only confirm till now, Knowledge is limitless, see how much you can catch. Bangalore is an excellent centre for learning. My placements have not been started yet (may start around 10th Feb 2013).
CDAC ACTS, Banaglore Knowledge Park
CDAC ACTS, Bangalore (Knowledge Park)

Worried about PG near CDAC, Bangalore KP? Main Hoon Na.
There are too many PGs/rooms, to study/live peacefully.
Location: Sadanand Nagar
Way: Reach Byapannahalli Metro Station. Left to it is CDAC and right side of metro is Sadanand Nagar. Down from metro, you will see a bridge, cross and take right turn towards a broad road. Here, after a little effort, you can see streets with name 1st Main, 2nd Main… resp.
PGs (Closest):2nd Main, 71/72. Rs.5500/- p.m. (might be shut down now) .
Straight on the same road, (438) Rs. 4000/- p.m. with food .
2nd Main , 155. 2500/- without food .
Beware Of Nagrajan PG! it is the last thing you should look for.
Note: Go to 5th main, Bakery Shop. You can ask there about PGs nearby.
OTHERS: Near big bazaar, on the same road as CDAC. Pi-layout. CV Raman Nagar.
Location: Near IndiraNagar Metro Station. Good Pgs available there also.
Why don't you join some CDAC group in facebook and find out buddies and join together. It is always great to have someone to share.
Winding up The Talk
You need to worry about studies only here. Rest are taken care by CDAC. For example, this year, they gave us treat in NAVRATRI. We had a movie show for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, with snacks. We played Cricket Tournament recently, which was last to say good bye guys!!!
6 Months can change your life!!!

  3. Hello Rajesh,
    I got banglore center for Dwimc course .
    Is it good to join or wait till 2 round..???
    Tell me about this course regarding placements.
    Suppose i will get Dac course after 2nd or 3rd Counselling
    Which will be better option to Choose DAC or Dwimc course at Pune or Banglore?????

    ReplyDelete
  4. @Pankul: DAC is better than any of the other courses, & Bangalore is second best in academics after Pune CDAC(Main) not authorized ones. If u get DAC Bangalore, in CDAC Knowledge Park, Nothing better than this. Be relaxed about Placements, Because this is what will Stop you from Studying well. Excellent Placement. Wimc is not a great choice but can be handful as well.

  5. Hi Rajesh could you suggest that I am 2011 btech passout and I have 8 months of experience in PHP development. So will i be eligible for all placements or not. Please reply

    ReplyDelete
  6. Yes, you wold get chance in Placements but few. Very few companies
    ignore year of passout.
    So, its a hard decision, if you have no option, you can go for it. But
    need to make most of the chance you get. I have not been through my
    placements , so i am not 100% sure.

  7. I Got C-DAC Banglore for DAC.My basics in Programming are not too strong..,does this effect me or i can learn at C-DAC from begining.I mean does they teach from begining or just start with advanced topics .Does we need our own laptops.I mean they may be giving assignments etc for that purpose.I dont have Laptop... !!if necessary i will try to buy.Can you tell about timings,sundays and labs will be open 24 hours or not.Sorry that i am asking for so many questions....but hope you will reply bcz u are my senior(if i join CDAC banglore).Thanks in advance.

    ReplyDelete
  8. @Anonymous:
    Yes! I agree, there are too many questions but does not matter.
    I know about DAC course. Teachers will teach you from the very basic. You will soon realize when C module will start. I think laptop is required because lots of study material is there to read
    and it cause problem. lab facility is till 8:00 PM all days. You will not touch any book, everything is soft copies. So try to manage.
    Timing is 9:30 AM to 6:0 PM except OS Module(different), included of Lab timings(every day-Half time).
    And its not about senior or junior, man! Just For Sake of Providing Information.

  11. Please help me.How to get Loan from CDAC banglore.....???If you or any of your class mates have taken loan pls ask and reply me..pls.

    ReplyDelete
  12. @Anonymous: Happy REPUBLIC Day to all.
    There is no Dress code @K.P. Do not have Very high expectations, because they fail. Very few holidays are there. No fixed schedule like all sundays classes, classes may be on National Holiday as well Like today 26th Jan, Diwali, etc. went to CDAC.
    About LOAN, i have not taken it or any of my known friend. But CDAC do not provide Loan by itself. They will give you Loan Letter when you request them through phone after allotment. Take the letter to the bank and request to them.
    Hope, your queries are answered.
    "Jai Hind"

  14. Harish:
    Above post u wrote donot have high expectation...??For what you said that..!!Does it mean don't expect more from CDAC banglore or something else..??

    I will definitely pray for your placement.Pls share whatever you know about placements upto now.Are there good companies coming for DAC course.I am joining DAC even though i am financially weak now..just with hope of placement.i should not say like that but for me it is fact..so pls share about placements there.how are the placement expectations,companies which will visit ,Packages ..etc.

    As u said dont expect much ..!!--->If it is about Placements the i will rethink to join CDAC banglr.

    Anyway I wish you all Success..& Happy Republic Day.

    i was planning to do dac course can u plz tell me that in which center there is less competition regarding placement as i heard that there is much competition in cdac pune as the near bye center also come for pool campus placement and in cdac banglore there is less competition and competition is less so chances is more

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. First prepare to get a good rank, competition is very high as the market condition is getting worse. Bangalore Dac course ensures placement for those who work hard and are not overconfident.
      But competition is high in Pune compare to 150 max in Bangalore.
      However, Companies hiring in Pune are better than that in Bangalore.I do not have any idea about Pune placements but confirmed about Bangalore.
      Best of Luck
