Status
DDU[3] 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 2005, DDIT achieved full university status and was renamed as DDU which is an abbreviation for Dharmsinh Desai University.
Prof. H.B Dave was the first head of the Computer Science department.
