Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering is a well-known college in Bangalore, India that offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs in engineering, including Information Science and Engineering (ISE).
In terms of rankings, the college is ranked among the top 150 engineering colleges in India by NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework) in 2020. The ISE department at the college also has a good reputation and is known for its experienced faculty and good placement opportunities.
It's important to note that individual experiences can vary, and it's always a good idea to do your own research and speak with current students or alumni to get a better understanding of what the college is like for ISE specifically.
According to the 2021 WBJEE cutoff, the required cutoff for CSE at Heritage Institute of Technology is 3434 (general). So, it will be difficult to get admission in CSE with your rank. As an alternative, you can go for IT at Heritage. It offers similar career prospects as the CSE branch.
With 4.5k rank, you can also try for KGEC EE/JGEC CSE/GCECT CSE/GCELT CSE/IEM IT/ GCETTS CSE.
At this rank in case, if you are getting a Govt. college don’t go for it as there is a very low chance of placements.
According to me, the Information Science and Engineering program at MVJCE Bangalore is good. This is my opinion not because I have completed the same degree from this college, but because I have friends who’ve been to other colleges for the same (or similar) course.
The curriculum at MVJCE is similar to other engineering colleges, but there are certain advantages to pursuing Information Science from there. The department faculty is not only highly educated, but skilled in teaching as well. They were always very supportive, and made us understand the practical applications of each and every concept.
Apart from that, the college placement cell also does a decent job. It was particularly my teachers whose support enabled me to grab a well paying job during campus placements.
The CS program offered by Don Bosco Institute of Technology is quite good. In order to get admission in DBIT Bangalore, the student should have passed Karnataka 2nd PUC/12th standard or equivalent examination with a minimum of 45% marks. Admissions are then given on the basis of the JEE Mains/ COMEDK rank. There are 180 seats for CSE. The 1st year course fee for CSE is INR 125,000. The total fees include library fees and development fees.
The CSE course is of 4 years and each semester includes three internals and one external. The marking scheme is based on Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU). The labs are well equipped with necessary instruments.
The college provides soft skill training as well as placement training. Pool placements are held and students with an aggregate of 60% or more usually get placements. Generally, software jobs are offered by visiting companies. Some of the companies that come to the campus placement are Tech Mahindra, Capgemini, TCS, Mindtree, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, KPMG, HVAC. The average salary package offered is 2 LPA.
First, you should stop considering A.M.C Engineering College, if you are going to compare it with institutes like RNSIT or CMRIT. Among the above three institutes, RNSIT would be the best option for Information Science and Engineering.

Placement (Winning Institute- RNSIT):
Key highlights - RNSIT:
So, it is evident that RNSIT is the most preferred institute for ISE among the three.
One of my friends got into the Acharya Institute of Technology for the Information Science Engineering course through the management quota. Interestingly, I was also looking up some decent colleges for Engineering in Karnataka for my sister, so I might be able to help you with your question.
I would further be mentioning certain situations or circumstances that you might face ahead. These can be:
Under circumstances similar or closer to these, you can think about pursuing it or securing otherwise. The choice is entirely yours.
One of my seniors graduated from the IS branch of Acharya Institutes. He has seen a considerable number of students quit because they had complaints regarding the non-payment of their salaries. They looked for better opportunities in other colleges. He did not find anything better about the department apart from the HOD and a few other lecturers.
If you are looking for employment in companies that are service-based, you will most likely get placements. If you are looking for help and motivation from your peers or faculty, you will probably be disappointed. My senior and a lot of his peers got little to no help with the same, including research activities. My senior suggests that you should choose ISE at Acharya only when you do not much have many choices and/or if you have a low rank.
