    Absolutely satisfied because as college campus is good, and also give many facility to the students.
    Placements: Dayanand Sagar is one of the good and well-known colleges in Bangalore. 70 to 100 companies come for the placements every year. They also provide good packages. Some of my friends are already placed. All major companies like Amazon and other supply chain companies come to the campus.
    Infrastructure: My college has a good campus. Also, there are good gallery classrooms. My classrooms have air-conditioners as well, They provide good drinking water and Wi-Fi facility. The library is also good. They encourage sports. This college has a ground. They provide good quality food in the college canteen, but the cost is a little higher. The hostel is also good, but the charges are very high. The management is a pro.
    Faculty: All the faculty members are good in teaching and are PhD certified members. They are helpful to the students. For example, at the in-house corporate training time, they give a lot of suggestions and corrections. My specialisation is finance and marketing. All my teachers are qualified and knowledgeable. They have good teaching methods, and the teachers give a live example. They teach in a better way.
    Other: My college is situated in Banashankari Kumaraswamy layout. Its university's name is Dayanand Sagar University. But this sheet does not recognise that place. My college has a good campus, and good environment. I felt fresh air on the campus. It is in a good area. They also provide good hostel facilities.

    Everything is fine except some lecturers.
    Placements: Mostly, 100% of the students got placements with an average salary package of 10 LPA in top companies like Wipro, Amazon, Accenture, etc. You are trained with all the branches of MBA course and you will get internships in good companies.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the college is very good. Modern classrooms with AC, projectors, library, canteen, auditorium, etc. everything is provided. When it comes to the hostel, it is full disciplined with quality rooms, food, hot water, snacks, library, etc.
    Faculty: Every lecturer has PhD degree with at least 10 years of teaching experience and worked in multinational companies. You are trained in order to survive in the current business scenario so that you can get very good placements in reputed companies.
    Other: If anyone wants to do business then he or she must do MBA so that they will come to know the today's trend in the market.

    An okay college with an average performance.
    Placements: Only 15% of our class has been placed, and we're only in the third semester. The lowest package offered was 4 LPA, the average was 4.5 LPA, and the highest package was 7 LPA with variables. The top recruiting company was EY, which offered 4.5 LPA for a tax role. Other startups recruited freshers, mostly for marketing roles.
    Infrastructure: The classrooms and library were air conditioned, and the entire campus had free Wi-Fi. The library required a refundable deposit of INR 2000. The canteen provided snacks, tea, coffee, and cold drinks, as well as an executive lunch that was somewhat palatable. Unfortunately, there were no sports facilities on the entire campus.
    Faculty: The teachers are good, but some do not have degrees or experience relevant to the subject they are teaching. The course curriculum is relevant and can make students industry-ready if the student is serious about it. Semester exams are moderately difficult, and the pass percentage is 95%+.
    Other: I chose to do my MBA at this college because the self-placement report showed that average to good companies visit the college. However, the job market has not been good during the 2023-25 period. While I can't blame the college for this, they should have fought for a better package with the visiting companies. Additionally, having a pre-planned structure for all semesters would have been great, as some of our semesters went by so fast that we were unable to complete the entire syllabus. On the plus side, the college does a good job with events such as the freshers party and religious functions. Scholarships are available, but they are only modestly available for Karnataka students.
