Should you pick BE Information Science & Engineering at Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management?
This course suits students who want software roles and can study in Mangaluru for four years.
Pick it if:
You want a reachable coastal seat: COMEDK round 3 closed near this rank, so later rounds matter for this branch.
You want software roles from Mangaluru: the placement page lists Microsoft, Amazon, SAP, HSBC and Accolite among hiring names.
Your family wants a known route: KCET, COMEDK, JEE Main and management quota are all listed on the admission page.
You compare fee against pay: the ROI tile uses the official average pay and the full course fee printed here.
Skip it if:
You count only the highest package: the median pay is much lower than the top offer, so use the average and median together.
You need hostel price certainty: the official pricing page says hostel cost varies by room and meal plan.
You want Bengaluru internships on your own: Mangaluru has fewer software offices, so use the placement cell early.
You may miss the fee date: the academic page says unpaid fees can make you lose the seat.
Counsellor's advice
Freeze this branch if round 1 gives it to you on a General Merit rank. If you are later round and below the round 1 close, float it and keep a safer college above it.

In short
Mangaluru costs less and pays more on average, but its closing rank is about 3,000 places tougher. If your rank clears both, take Mangaluru; if it clears only SCEM, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
Mangaluru places more of its batch but charges INR 75,000 more over four years and pays a little less. If its easier closing rank is what you need, keep it one place below SCEM in your choice list as the safer seat.
In short
Harbour charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If SCEM gives you a seat in any round, take it; Harbour belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
Nitte costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing rank. If your rank misses SCEM in the early rounds, list Nitte right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
Summit is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If SCEM allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep Summit only as your backup.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on Sahyadri College of Engineering & Management BE Information Science & Engineering
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is BE ISE at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 12.40 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 6.3 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General General Merit seat closed at rank 77,460 in round 3 and it got tougher three years in a row, so a rank that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get software jobs with product and IT services companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 6.3 LPA, the median was INR 4.75 LPA and 59% of the batch was placed. If you want a core electronics job instead, this branch is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a Mangaluru campus, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can raise your rank by a lot, not a little. The General closing rank got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a branch change after year 1 if you want a sibling branch.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 59% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 4.75 LPA is lower than the average of INR 6.3 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this branch better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick ISE if you want a software job and ECE if you want a core electronics job. ISE places a bigger share of its batch with product companies, and its closing rank is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want ISE, branch change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the COMEDK UGET exam and fill this college in your COMEDK choice list. A seat comes in the round your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days COMEDK gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 4-year fee is INR 12.40 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 15.80 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
Sahyadri College of Engineering and Management offers five B.E. courses and an MBA program. Admission can be gained via CET, management quota, or merit-based processes. The college's fees vary: CET admissions cost about 85,000 INR annually, Comed-K students pay around 300,000 INR, and management quotas range from 350,000 to 400,000 INR for high-demand courses like CSE/IS. Placement fees are 10,000 INR. The faculty is experienced, with each holding an MTech degree and significant teaching and industry experience.
Sahyadri is renowned in the Dakshin Kannada region for placements, with around 200 companies visiting annually, including Google and Microsoft, and an impressive 90% placement rate. The highest package offered is 43 LPA, averaging 4 LPA, with notable offers such as 11.4 LPA from Amazon. The college emphasizes practical experience with on-campus industries providing internships. Financial aid is available through scholarships based on income, caste, and minority status, along with government scholarships like SSP and NSP.
The college also facilitates student loans through external banks, with a bank on campus for convenience. Despite the relatively high fees, the quality of education and placement opportunities make it a preferred choice.
