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.

All three colleges, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Techno India Salt Lake Sector V, and Haldia Institute of Technology are very popular colleges to pursue ECE. After careful consideration, I would say that Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) is the best among the others mentioned.

• Dayananda Sagar is now an autonomous college and there are a lot of facilities available for the students. 
• The placement opportunities available are excellent. Many reputed companies visit the campus for interviews. Being located in Bangalore, it has a location advantage. 
• Industry visits, seminars, and internships are plenty. This can be a very good opportunity to gain some work experience and knowledge. 

Hence, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering is a better college than Techno India and HIT as it offers better placements and facilities to the students. Also, as the college is in Bangalore and staying there could be expensive. The living expenses and travel costs are extremely higher than usual. So prepare accordingly.

One of my friends studied at Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE). According to him, there are two kinds of boys hostels:

• Hostel for NRI: This might cost around 1.5 lakhs, I'm not sure though.
• Indian Hostel: Two Indian Hostels are located within and one outside the university, around 800 m from the university.

Also, know about these facts before coming to any conclusion.

• The residents of the Indian hostel have their own Hostel Mess where the food is like a limitless buffet there truly is excellent. 
• In the building where people can also visit, the NRI Hostel has its own canteen. 
•  It was rather cramped as 4 people had to share a room in the Indian hostels. 
• One of the beneficial features is that in this hostel you may occasionally obtain decent wireless speeds. 
• In the 2nd or 3rd year, most of my friends who went to hostels for the very first year moved to PG or home to find it cheaper. 
• The cost may now have altered as the college and all these things become independent. So everything is the finest. 

Two men's hostels and Two hostels for Girls. For girls. Many pgs are also with outstanding amenities in and near the university. Nevertheless, the hostel is mostly recommended for fresher boys. 

Yes, joining Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering through COMEDK is totally worth it. The college is among the top 10 colleges in Bangalore. You will not find any other college with such good infrastructure in Bangalore, it is the best.

However, whether it will be worth joining or not depends on the branch that you want to join. I have a few friends from Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering and according to them, the mechanical engineering department is quite good. 

DSCE also has a good placement record. In the recent placement, the average CTC offered was 4.5 lakhs, while 15 lakhs was the highest CTC offered. 

For CSE, ECE, and ISE, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering will be a good choice. Due to its location, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering will give you better exposure. The student crowd at DSCE is also better, as people from cosmopolitan backgrounds will be there. The placements are good and it mostly depends on your skills.

Here are the recent placement highlights of DSCE.

Overall, DSCE will be a better option for doing a course in CSE.

It depends upon a variety of factors. If you secure a good score and later decide to apply for a branch change at Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering, then you have a decent chance of getting approved. In any case, you will require approval from the principal of your branch. The major pitfall is that the chances of the approval are 5% on the higher side or nothing at all.

Either way, one of the other options is to connect with the administration officials and after a brief discussion about possible choices, coming to an eventual ultimatum where the administration can possibly ask you to deposit a sum of money in lieu of the above requirement. It is best to consult them before you step into the 2nd semester. 

Yes, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering is good for Mechanical Engineering. Be it faculty, labs, department, infrastructure, branch, or any other aspect, the college is a perfect fit. 

The only disadvantage of DSCE Bangalore is that it doesn't provide any offers from core companies. The students of the mechanical branch end up getting a job in the IT sector. If any core job offers are available, these companies will only hire students in single digit. 

Companies like Accenture, Cognizant, Infosys, and Tech Mahindra hire students irrespective of the branches.

If a job in the IT sector suits you after graduating from the mechanical branch, then you can opt for Dayanand Sagar College for Engineering as it is the best college. It will furnish a job but in the IT sector.
