I AM SHUBHAM SINGH DOING M.TECH FROM DIAT WITH RADAR & COMMUNICATION AS MY SPECIALIZATION.AS A STUDENT I ALWAYS FELT PROUD TO BE A PART OF THIS PRESTIGIOUS DEFENCE INSTITUTE BECAUSE OF MY CURIOSITY TOWARDS DEFENCE FIELD , AS I WAS KEEN SSB ASPIRANT ALSO SINCE 2014( WHEN I COMPLETED MY B.E.) & APART FROM THAT MY INTEREST TOWARDS RADAR TECHNOLOGY & SATELLITE COMMUNICATION BROUGHT ME HERE. I CAME TO KNOW ABOUT THIS INSTITUE BECAUSE OF MY SSB(SERVICE SELECTION BOARD) JOURNEY ,WHERE I MET WITH MANY DEFENCE ASPIRANTS WHO WERE WILLING TO BE A PART OF TRI-FORCES .AS PER THE DEMAND I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY VIEWS THAT WHY I THINK THIS UNIVERSITY IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS .
COURSES
1)The best thing about this institute is that it offers many unique courses for M.tech students which you wouldn’t find in other recognised indian institutes, except few & so we can say it as rarest course offering university that makes you feel challenging & your appetite for knowledge will never go down. Its like ocean of knowledge in diat with various courses provided that you should strive hard to achieve what you want. As after the announcement of india’s most ambitious project “make in India” our nation is rapidly moving toward indigenisation of defence equipments & we are not so far where india can get tag of biggest defence equipment exporter instead of importer ,so the unique courses like M.tech in radar & communication, navigation system, marine engineering, guided missiles etc. makes you stand far from crowd & fittest aspirant for companies working on defence sector like defence psu, brahmos aerospace ,L&T ,mahindra defence etc.
OPPORTUNITIES AS A FRESHER
2)The uniqueness of DIAT is that fresh gate students have a chance to interact with service officers who are doing their M.Tech as they Share their in field experience & knowledge about market trend can be easily known by talking to them. In addition to this gate students has an opportunity to share classes with sponsored scientists from drdo labs ,defence psu & triforce officers that makes classroom atmosphere unique & supportive as freshers have open opportunity to clear their doubts either by teachers or by officers as they are very supportive & treats us as a friend.It is like new experiment in indian education system where students like drdo scientist,triforce officers having field experiences & gate students who are energetic but mostly unaware from company’s need ,sits together in the same class & discuss same problem to achieve the consensus . It gives immense satisfaction to get your things clear from experienced scientists & officers who are actually engaged in country’s recent technological development.Besides academic knowledge students have full opportunity to know about the administrative working by being a part of hostel management committee & learn management skills by organising festivals in group like holi ,diwali ,ganesh chaturthi etc

This comes under industrial visit which is designed mainly during semester period & fresher student can treat it as one time opportunity because it gives them overall functioning & work culture of defence labs as well as chance to pursue their main projects on such labs & many other pvt. companies so that they can imbibe scientific knowledge about new & existing technology of different labs during such period.Attending international conference & symposium is also easy through this platform & the best part of all these educational tour is that the college provides contingency fund for their students.
