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. 

Without any doubt, we all get into the dilemma when we listen to the word shift course especially for the courses like B.Tech. But the shift course has been introduced in some colleges to increase their intake capacity of students for the popular courses to give opportunities to many students. 

• Usually, the normal time of the class in the college is from 9 am but for the shift course the classes commence at 11 am onwards and end up by 5 pm. 
• There is not much difference in the timings. 
• Also, the students of the shift course are provided with equal opportunities, similar placements are given to them without making any difference between CSE and CSSC students.

Therefore, we can conclude that the shift course is just to expand the capacity of the students keeping in mind the university norms, rest all the things are similar to the normal CSE course. So there is nothing much to worry about. 

DSCE provides hostel facilities to boys and girls separately. The hostels are well-equipped with all the basic amenities. Apart from the hostels, the college is nearby various Paying Guests (PGs).

One of my friends was living in VS Boys PG. It is close to college and Daily Fresh. As per his insights, the PG has the best food. There are no restrictions in PG, and the people are also friendly. Overall, the PG is worth spending every penny. You might like it. 

There are other PGs near the college, you can ask your seniors for more information. 

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.

My sister took her CSE degree from NIE Mysore. It seems to be the better between the two. Here's why:

• The placement rate is good. It was 97% this year, compared to DSCE's 75%. Sir MVIT matches the placement rate of NIE but the reputation of NIE is stronger in the industry.
• NIE has an excellent infrastructure as well. It has worked on its expansion into an ultra-modern design in the past 5 years and has incorporated excellent facilities for sports and academic development. 

The location of Mysore can be great to explore. Do not think that it's a small city, it has all the amenities and recreational and professional sites you'd need to work as an engineer. Apart from the 3 malls, you will discover plenty of places to explore during the 4 years of your academic life. 

This must be because of location and the accessibility to the Electronic City as the area is heavily crowded due to traffic.

Moreover, the intake in CSE at PES University EC Campus is 480, while it is 180 in DSCE. It is bad luck for those who did not make an informed choice as they might face repercussions in 2023.

Furthermore, comparing PES with Dayanand, which lies in the heart of South Bangalore and it is a favorite place. With easy access and a peaceful environment, Dayanand Sagar is more preferred among students.

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.
