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.

My colleague used to stay in the My Roomie Hostel near Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering. There are many hostels near the institute but they are not comfortable. You might have to look for a PG as well. Decide only after that regarding where you'd want to stay.

However, ‘My roomie Hostel’ is an impressive place to stay because of the following: 

• The team is friendly and has cordial behavior. My friend’s visit was very warm and welcoming.
• The most eye-catching thing is the Community area. You can play games like- Pool Table. It has a mini gym as well. You can also engage in competitions in the zone area and organize events like birthday celebrations and festivals.
• It is clean, comfortable, with a colorful atmosphere, which is also in Bangalore.

Overall, you will enjoy being a part of the hostel atmosphere if you choose it. My colleague recommends it to everyone going to DSCE. 

There is no difference between Shift 1 and Shift 2 at Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering. Only the timings and the strength of the students are different

For shift 2, timings are from 11 AM to 6 PM and for shift 1, it's from 9 AM to 5 PM. This timing difference is only for the 1st year. After that, it will be the same for both the 1st and 2nd-year students. It's from 9 only. 

Another difference is in terms of strength as in the 2nd shift, there are 75 students while for the 1st shift, the strength is for 60 students.

The concept of two shifts is simple as it is to get more students and to increase the intake as per the existing infrastructure. Apart from this, everything including the projects, classes, syllabus, faculty, and events remains the same and has no difference.

According to one of my friend’s experiences there are chances of getting into Dayanand Sagar College in the second round. Though the chances are very low, therefore it depends upon your luck. 

You should refer to the previous cut-offs but at the same time, you should be open to the options and accept them whole-heartedly as it depends purely on you how much you are inclined to working hard. If you really work hard then it does not matter that in which college you are in, nobody can stop you from reaching your destiny. According to the previous year’s cut-offs, 5855 was the closing rank in Round 1.

Keep trying your dream college but you should be always open to various other options so that you will not waste your entire year.

With a rank above 10000, it is difficult to get the CSE or ISE branch at Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering. According to the recent cutoff trends for DSCE, the required cutoff for CSE was 3905. 

However, with your rank, you can make it to other branches like ECE, EEE, TE, etc. The college provides the option of internal transfer from one branch to another, so you can change your branch after following the procedure of the college to the branch of your choice if you want to.
