It was founded as a chemical engineering college and is still recognised as one of the premier colleges teaching chemical engineering. The university also offers BE integrated MBA program and Master of Computer Application (MCA).
[edit] Status
DDIT [1]achieved autonomous university status in 1991 which meant it could conduct exams and not follow the parent university Gujarat University examination schedule (though the degree certificate awarded still retained the name of Gujarat University). It achieved a deemed university status in June 2000, which meant that the degree certificates show that they are awarded from DDIT. In April of 2005, DDIT achieved full University status and is renamed as DDU which is an abbreviation for Dharamsinh Desai University. Under the flagship name of DDU, the university has also started a bachelor's course in Dental Surgery from 2005.
