Admission to PDA College of Engineering in Kalaburgi is through KCET, followed by document verification and an admission form completion. The college has a good faculty-to-student ratio of 1:20 and is recognized for its experienced staff, though there's room for improvement in teaching newer faculty and relating studies to practical scenarios. The computer science department has seen growth, with classes doubling due to demand, though specific subjects like M1, M2, and electronics are challenging.
The curriculum includes three Continuous Internal Evaluations and one Semester End Examination per semester. For non-aided courses, the fee is 132,000 INR via COMEDK, and aided courses are cheaper. Despite minimal facilities, an additional donation of 18,000 INR is required. Placement outcomes vary, with over 50% in some departments and an average placement of 30%. Around 50 companies recruit annually, with key players such as Infosys and HCL, offering packages from 2-5 LPA.
Typically, 25-27 out of 60 students secure placements, and internships have become available through Internshala. The college supports placement preparation, but internship availability is inconsistent. Direct scholarships are not offered, but financial aid is accessible through the Vidyasiri program and the National and State Scholarship Portals, providing eligible students with Rs 18,000-Rs 20,000 annually. Tuition for unaided courses like Computer Science has increased to nearly Rs 100,000 annually, with management quota fees at Rs 130,000 and government quota fees at Rs 90,000.
Additional registration, admission, development, and lab fees apply, but scholarships and reservations help reduce costs for SC/ST students.
