# DAV College Amritsar Students — Best IT Course & Career Guide 2026
DAV College Amritsar is one of Punjab's most respected institutions — strong academics, large campus, thousands of students across BA, B.Com, BCA, B.Sc, and B.Tech programmes. But in 2026, a degree from DAV alone is rarely enough to land a competitive IT role. This guide helps DAV students figure out which additional IT skill to add and how to use it.
The honest picture for DAV graduates in 2026
DAV BCA/B.Tech graduates: Your degree gives you theory — data structures, DBMS, C++. What employers ask for: real projects, current frameworks (React, Node.js, Python libraries), and AI tool proficiency. Most DAV graduates need a 3–6 month practical course to bridge this gap.
DAV B.Com/BA/B.Sc graduates: Your degree does not signal IT aptitude to employers. A 4–6 month IT course with a portfolio of projects is what actually gets you considered.
Common mistake: Thinking the BCA/B.Tech degree is enough. It isn't in 2026. Every IT company in Punjab interviews based on practical skills — not marksheets.

DAV to placement — MITS Academy's track record
MITS Academy at SRK Mall, Mall Road, Amritsar is 10–15 minutes from DAV College by auto. Over the last 3 years, MITS has trained and placed DAV College students at: - HCL Technologies (PHP, Java developers) - Local Amritsar IT companies (React, WordPress) - Digital marketing agencies (Punjab-based + remote) - CA firms and export houses (Tally, Excel, ERP)
The advantage of joining MITS while still in final year or immediately after graduation: you get placed before most DAV classmates who are still "thinking about it."
How to combine DAV final year + MITS training
Option 1: Weekend batch during final year - Sat–Sun at MITS Amritsar (SRK Mall) - Time: 10 AM–1 PM (3 hours each day) - No conflict with college — MITS batches are designed for students with other commitments
Option 2: Evening batch during final year - 4 PM–7 PM on weekdays (Mon–Fri) - Possible if your DAV college hours end by 3 PM - 6-month course completed before results are declared
Option 3: Full-time after graduation - 9 AM–12 PM or 10 AM–1 PM daily - Complete in 4–6 months, placed before year-end
What DAV students say about MITS
Many DAV students initially think they "already know programming" from BCA/B.Tech. After the free demo at MITS, most realise: 1. Their college curriculum was 3–5 years behind industry 2. They'd never built a real web application start to finish 3. They didn't know how to use GitHub, deploy to cloud, or integrate AI tools
The demo session is free — just show up any Saturday at 10 AM at SRK Mall, 2nd Floor, Mall Road.
