Admission to Dayananda Sagar University (DSU) can be through the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (CET) or the Dayananda Sagar Admission Test (DSAT), with the latter being more expensive. The faculty strength exceeds 200, providing a 1:80 faculty-to-student ratio, with mixed reviews on teaching quality. The 4-year course begins with common subjects and shifts to core subjects in the second year, assessed through Continuous Internal Assessment (60%) and final exams (40%).
Fees vary significantly based on the admission route: Rs. 92,500 for CET students, $7,500 for foreign students and NRIs, approximately Rs. 2.5 lakh for DSAT, and Rs. 3,40,000 for management quota. Additional charges apply for CET students. Placement eligibility starts from the 5th or 6th semester with a minimum CGPA of 6.50 or 6.75, and around 80% of students secure jobs annually. Participating companies include Amazon, Wipro, and Bosch, with the highest package reaching 45 LPA and an average package of 5-6 LPA.
Placement training is provided but its effectiveness is debated. Internships are available but may require payment. Financial aid options include loans, government scholarships for lower caste students, and SSP scholarships offering Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 20,000 per year. The DSAT scholarship reduces tuition from Rs. 3,25,000 to Rs. 2,65,000. Additional fees cover exams and other costs, with annual increments expected.
