About Dhirubhai Ambani University
Dhirubhai Ambani University (DAU), formerly Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT), was established pursuant to an act passed by the legislature of the State of Gujarat in 2003.
Over the years, DA-IICT has built a strong reputation as a leading higher education institution in Information & Communication Technology (ICT) and enjoys prestigious NAAC Grade A+ accreditation.
DA-IICT’s leadership in ICT higher education is evidenced by its recognition as a ‘Centre of Excellence’ by the State Government of Gujarat and its role as a mentor to other ICT institutions in the State. Recent legislative amendments have enabled the transformation of DA-IICT into a multi-disciplinary education and research university, now known as Dhirubhai Ambani University (DAU).
