DSATM my first impressions.

I chose Computer Science and Design, but as I am still in 1sem we have common subject shared among all the 1st year students, but as I looked into my 3rd sem subjects they have a few industry specific subjects for us like Game development tools .. few others.

From what I got to know from my seniors we will have a paid internship in our 4th and 5th sem, from their words it's just a hustle for a certificate nothing more. And for our department we are supposed to make a project every sem and we can modify the project for the next sem or create s new project all together.

Placement are average or below average, the average salary package is 4 lpa of less here. But if you got talent you will be provided opportunity to sit in placements of DSCE as well and grab a better package there. Most of all the students gets placed here in anyone of the companies like TCS or Infosys

Fee Structure : I paid 107500 through KEA, and the college asked for 15k more saying it's for Skill Lab. It will have a total of 122500. If you have SC/ST quote and also your family income is less than 10 lpa then the fees will be around 40k to 50k per year. Even though I have SC quote, my family income is more than 10 lpa so I had to pay full fees. For management Quote the Donation is 3 lakhs and 4 lakhs for every year. I don't have clarity on. COMEDK fees. But, I heard my friends say it's twice the KEA fees so it's probably 3 lakhs per year. There are scholarship schemes here but as I ain't eligible for any, I didn't gather much info about it They collected 10k for Uniform and Exams fees last month, it was a overkill.

We have Two major Fests here one is AntarAgni which is a inter-department fest and Experenza which is a college annual fest. Both fests will be celebrated grandly and will provide enough opportunities to showcase their talents And there are many clubs present in the, like dancing club, signing club, media club, debate club, art club, fashion club, and gaming club. And each clubs will usually conduct an event or competition every month or two

I also applied for RNSIT, CMRIT, JSSATE, Reva. Among these I got Reva and JSSATE, but I chose this college as it also part of Dayanand Sagar institutions and it will help me during my placements, and it also a Autonomous institution

I don't know the exact student to teacher ratio, but I think it's on the good side. Faculty are Okish, the seniors faculty are good but the junior faculty don't even care much about teaching. There will be 2 IA's and a final external sem exams will be there for first sem. And each subject will have 2 CCAs. We will be writing the IA for 50 marks each and CCAs are also of 50 marks, and a Lab external for 50 marks. All of these marks above will be down converted into a total of 50 marks and the remaining 50 marks will be down converted from a 100 mark sem exam, both making a total of 100 which will be used to calculate our CGPA 1st sem course are somewhat moderately relevant

There is a gym inside the college campus, and it's free to use and it is well maintained and seniors are very beginner friendly, and they also have a badminton court. Cafeteria and library will stay open till 7 30 pm, and cafeteria doesn't have nice food, but library is maintained well enough. From what I know the curfew for boys at hostel start from 9 pm and for girls it's probably 7 or 6 pm.
