Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering - [DSCE], Bangalore - Placement Details and Companies Visiting

For software jobs, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering is very good in terms of Placement. Here are some of the observations about the college placements.

• Software companies like, Infosys, Tech Mahindra and Wipro are major recruiters of this college. One needs to maintain 60 % in his/her overall academics.
• Infosys usually comes in the first slot of the placement drive of the college.
• If you want to get into the core technical job then you might not get that in college but this is true in the case of other colleges as well.
• If your branch of engineering is electrical, mechanical, and biomedical then you should definitely participate in the campus pool drive of the college.

The placement recent statistics of Dayanand college are as follows. 

This college also provides soft skill training programs and a digital lab facility as well. This will help you in developing your communication and technical skills.

One of my friends recently graduated from Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE). Here is what she had to say about the CSE placement at the institute. 

The institute is autonomous, and the quality of education, assignments, and projects has been improved over the years. The placements for the CSE branch are promising. All the companies allow CSE students to sit for campus placement. Recently, JP Morgan came to the campus in the sixth semester and offered packages of around INR 6 LPA. Therefore, placement would not be a problem.

All the students across all branches get placed in at least one company. Most students get placed in Accenture, Infosys, HPE, Continental Automotive, Moog, EY, UHG, Dell, JP Morgan, Oracle, Tally, Cognizant, and more. All of these have recruited CSE students in the past.

I will advise you to talk to seniors, before joining the institute, to have a clear picture.

Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering is quite a good subject to pursue at Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering. My friends studying there said that around 10 companies pay a visit to the campus every individual month for as long as 6 months in a row.

Accenture, being one of the top firms, recruited more than 700 applicants while Cognizant claimed as another leading company, hired more than 500 students in the placement drive. Alongside the two, Infosys hired over 300 students. 

There are several companies that mandate a total aggregate of at least 65% in the exam, and managing to maintain that can help you reach new heights. 

One of my friends is a student at Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering and here is her insight into the placements for EEE and EIE. 

Both departments have a distinct curriculum and hence different companies recruit from these branches. 

• As EEE is the core field, it is difficult to get the cutoff for few companies such as Accenture, mu-sigma, HP, etc. The number of core companies visiting the campus for placement is quite less in number.
• Whereas EIE doesn't have single-core companies visiting while there are a lot of open options to sit in for mass recruiting companies.
• The average package offered stays around 3-4 LPA.

Although, the recent change in curriculum due to the university's switch from VTU to autonomous, has seen an increase in the companies visiting the campus and will soon fetch better margins on placements.

According to one of my seniors, if the parameters of placement and college life are considered then the ranking would be as follows: -

Dayanand Sagar College> B.I.T> BMSIT and RNSIT

My senior is a student of B.I.T and he has also been to Dayanand Sagar College a couple of times for some cultural events. 

• According to him Dayanand Sagar College has a much better campus among the others mentioned above. 
• It is an autonomous college so it has its own perks. 
• Located in Bangalore it gets the advantage of being nearby corporate houses and IT firms. 
• It will be easier to conduct frequent industry visits, seminars, and internship opportunities.
• The places nearby have hostels and PGs available for both boys and girls. There are also numerous flats available.

B.I.T is located in V.V Puram and lacks all these facilities. In terms of placement Dayanand Sagar College is at a par with B.I.T however RNSIT and BMSIT both lag behind these institutes in terms of campus life and placement stats, records.

The placement at Dayanand Sagar Institutions (DSI) is decent. The students with at least 60% in academics are preferred by the recruiters. Sound knowledge in your core specialization is enough to get you placed.

The top campus recruiters are Novell, HCL, iGATE, ITC Infotech, Microsoft, Cognizant, Sobha, L&T Infotech, Infosys, Oracle, Deloitte, Accenture, Cerner, Mu Sigma, IBM, KPMG, and more. The placement statistics revealed that 2374 students placed in FY 2020-21.

Overall, the campus life is vibrant, and placements are excellent.
