Dhirubhai Ambani University (DAU), formerly and widely known as Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT), is a private self-financed university located in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India.

(IT) students from DA-IICT challenged IIM Ahmedabad's decision to deny them admission interviews, citing the institute's eligibility criteria based on AIU and AICTE affiliation.

The case was brought in the Gujarat High Court, which ruled in favor of the students.

The renaming reflects the university's expanded scope, moving beyond its original focus on information and communication technology (ICT) to include a wide range of disciplines.
