DSU - A review from a student.

I got into the college through COMEDK Counselling. Anyone who wants to join the Institute can apply through DSAT, COMEDK, UNIGAUGE, KSAT. The reservation benefits are mostly in favour of Karnataka State Student.

I chose this course because engineering was a kind passion and computer science is what I liked. The faculty to student ratio is good. Teachers are well trained and oriented. And the exams are well proctored and its quite difficult to pass until and unless one is properly prepared for the same.

There is a startup incubation centre aka DERBI as well as AIC aka Atal Incubation Center. One can get many internship opportunities under any domain one wants to work on like Data Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligent, App development, Web Development etc.

From the 6th semester, students with the required skills become eligible for campus placements. Many well established companies visit for the placements. Last time the highest package offered was around 25 LPA by a Japanese Company and Amazon.

The Fees are divided into 4 types of criteria based on the way of students' admission. KSAT costs around 90,000 - 1,10,000. DSAT costs around 2,33,450. COMEDK and UNIGAUGE cost 2,55,810 and Management Seats around 4,00,000(Might differ). There are scholarships for ST/SC students who are from Karnataka. Other than that there is no other financial assistance. One needs to pay the total fees at one time, there is no instalment facility. Students won't get to write any of the exams until the full payment of fees is paid.

There is normally no fest conducted on the campus. Mostly once a year Ethnic Day is celebrated. No proper sports ground. Sports activity is solely conducted by the senior students. The library is pretty big and has a huge number of books and digital resources.

The hostel is pretty good but the cost is way too high and quite unprefarable by many of the students. In my recommendation for the first year of college, one should definitely stay in the hostel and later move out to PGs or Rooms. One can find a number of PGs near the campus in Kudlu Gate Junction behind Udupi Upahar and Hyundai Showroom both for girls as well as boys. Many rented rooms and flats are available behind campus as well in Singasandra, AECS A layout.
