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.

According to some of my friends studying at Dayanand Sagar, there are 2 options available if a student misses one interval in Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering.

1. The internal marks for an interval are considered as the best out of the 3. So there are chances to rectify the past mistake. Students who have missed an interval can attend the remaining 2 and score the required mark which is totally acceptable by the institute.
2. Contact the Head of Department and explain your situation. It’s up to him/her to make the decisions based on your reason. There’s no need to worry if you have a valid reason with supporting proofs and documents. In that case, they are very considerate.

The Head of Department can allow you to take the test later if they believe the reasons are genuine after viewing your case.

After doing some research online, I would suggest not to go for IEM at Ramaiah, until and unless you are extremely interested in studying that particular subject. Since it will not pay you anything and you will eventually wind up in the same category of mass placement at one of the service-based companies. 

Double-check the topics you will be studying. EEE is usually less exposed than IEM, yet EEE is regarded as the most complex branch to be studied. 

The majority of EEE / ECE / other branches receive job offers from Infosys, HCL, Accenture, or Tech Mahindra.

So, what is the point of learning core Electronics if all you have to do at the conclusion of your engineering degree is code? If you want to build a career, think seriously about the branch you select. Regardless of the institution you attend, I believe EEE is far superior to IEM. Pursue EEE only if you are truly passionate about the subject.

A friend of mine used to study there. Here are a few snippets of his experience. 

• In the beginning, he had mixed feelings about the institute. He was skeptical about whether he had even reached the right college/crowd/culture or not. 

• My friend belongs to a small town and when he witnessed his college mates roaming around at 11 PM with their own vehicles, he wasn't sure whether he'd manage to get along with a single person there. 
• On the very first day of college, he managed to be friends with people from different states and other parts of Karnataka who were just as introverted and shy as he was. So, the kind of crowd would be fine, considering this. 
• A lot of people there take full advantage of the management quota, so expect rich kids flaunting their expensive bikes and other things as well. 
• Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering has an excellent atmosphere. A good number of events are carried out here where you would witness actors/actresses promoting their upcoming movies. 
• Make sure you are updated on the kind of social/cultural/technical events that take place so that you know which inter-college event to take part in. 
• The quality of education offered at the institute is average at best. You will have to do a lot of self-study in order to clear your concepts and secure a good job opportunity. 

Hope this gives you an idea of what kind of crowd to expect at Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering.

One of my friends recently graduated from Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering and according to him, if you fall under the General Merit category, there is no chance of getting CSE in DSCE. For DSCE the recent cutoff for CSE is 2361. 

But if you fall under other reservation categories, then there is a chance you can get a seat in the second shift in CSE. Check the recent cutoff rank for your category to know about your chances.

There is no difference between the normal shift or the second shift. The only difference is the college code. Rest all is as the normal shift. You can't change your branch if you get admission in the second shift.

If placement is your concern, then you can also go for DSATM. Because during placements, both DSCE and DSATM students are allowed to attend together in the same campus.

There is no partiality between DSCE or DSATM for placements. All are given equal opportunity. 

It all depends upon your interest and future perspective. Choose Telecommunication Engineering or IEM based on your interest. 

IEM is a combination of mechanical engineering, product engineering, and management studies, so if you want to gain hands-on experience in management studies and see the future perspective in the same field, then IEM is one of the best fields to pursue. Also, IEM subjects are easier compared to Telecommunication. IEM becomes more theory-oriented towards the 3rd semester. 

Now regarding colleges, VTU affiliated colleges are good to pursue your higher studies and the teaching levels are the same in all the colleges. Also, the placements are quite decent in these colleges.

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.
