Dronacharya College of Engineering offers a straightforward admission process via its official website, requiring documents such as 10th and 12th-grade marksheets and JEE scores. A seat allocation form costs Rs. 500, and direct admission is possible onsite. Scholarships are available through an entrance test in April-May, based on 12th-grade marks and test performance. The faculty is well-qualified, with most holding M.Tech or Ph.D. degrees and possessing backgrounds from IITs and NITs.
However, the mechanical branch experiences high faculty turnover. The college's fee structure varies, with first-year fees around Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 1.1 lakh and subsequent semester fees ranging from Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 67,500. Additional hostel and transport fees apply. The total course fee can reach up to Rs. 4.5 lakhs, with some students reporting costs of up to Rs. 4.87 lakhs. Scholarships are available for students scoring above 70%, but their availability is inconsistent.
Placement opportunities are strong, especially in CSE, IT, and Electronics, with placement rates between 70% to 100%. Top recruiters include IBM, Infosys, Amazon, Wipro, and Adobe, with packages reaching up to 40-47 LPA and average packages around 4-6 LPA. Students are eligible for placements by their 6th or 7th semester. Mechanical and Civil branches have fewer placements. The college maintains transparency with fees and offers no extra charges for extracurricular activities.
While the college does not directly offer loan facilities, students can seek education loans through banks with college assistance. Overall, many students find the fees reasonable given the placement and academic opportunities.
