Dayananda Sagar College Of Engineering

As far as I know there is no management quota in Dayananda. You have to go through the exam only for the admission.
Thanks.

Hello Anushree,
The fees charged by the colleges for admission against management quota is closely guarded secret. No institution publishes it. In fact rule of thumb is, more applicants then more fees and vice versa! If you have good bargaining skills you may end up paying quite less.

Yes, you can change the college. But you need to pay remaining years college fee to the current college to get the relieving letter. Also, you have to pay college donation fees+ college fees to another college (new college). It's better to continue with the same college unless you manage financial things.
Along with that, you have to take the permission from the university & college both.
You will have to talk in your college office.

Overall, the placements are average. If you are in ISE or CSE, then 90% or more students get placed there. Nowadays, companies are expecting skilled students.

Should have completed 12th standard CBSE or equivalent qualification.

Yes, you can get admission by applying for COMEDK exams. These exams too work similar to KCET on ranking basis but are for students from outside Karnataka.

Dayanand Sagar is definitely better than MVJ in terms of placements and education. The aeronautical department in DSI is well established and has well experienced faculty. The infrastructure and labs are all well-equipped with the latest necessary apparatus. The placements are also really good with people getting placed in top companies like Textron, bell, Mercedes, etc. So Dayanand Sagar must definitely be the better choice.
