DSASC has well-structured classrooms which are comfortable for students. The labs are well equipped with systems and technology with highly trained personnel. The wifi facility provided for students is high-speed 4G, on daily basis, every student has limited usage of 1 GB/day. DSI infrastructure is a well equipped and GO Green campus.

I got admitted into DSASC through PGCET. PGCET is an entrance examination for postgraduate education in Karnataka state. The cutoff for DSI is very high and it is difficult for people to get into DSI beyond 3000 ranking. Luckily my rank was within that of the cutoff which varies every and keeps on dropping as its getting more competitive every year. 

The usual daily routine is from 9 to 5 during which a 12 to 1 lunch hour gap is provided, during projects its 9 to 12 and exam timings are set by the Bangalore University.

DSASC has a highly educated faculty who walk the extra mile for quality educational teaching. The classroom teaching along with digital space is utilised for the teaching.

Overall DSASC is everything a student can ask for quality education and a fun loving student life.

DSASC has course fee of INR 2.50 L for a course duration of two years for PGCET students and that for management students varies from INR 8 to 10 L for course duration of two years. There are scholarship options for students below economic earnings and caste based. Around 20% of students avail the scholarship. Basically, loans are not needed but if needed they are well approved and provided by Vijaya and Axis bank.

In DSI every department has formed its own association, each department has one association which altogether gather for fest management. Apart from this DSI has sports association, Social welfare and Innovation management association.

National Level sports for basketball and football are conducted on campus apart from this annual fest gatherings are held.

DSI life is a blend of professionalism with student life of fun friendly and adventurous atmosphere.
