Absolutely dissatisfied with the lack of placement opportunities, poor mess and bus facilities.

Placements: Very few members were placed in good companies. Few good companies come for placement, and there is inadequate placement training and facilities, resulting in many members being placed with packages below 3 LPA due to the lack of placement opportunities.

Not worth of money. I was really disappointed, for choosing mechanical stream in this college.

Placements: The placement for students who are interested in IT department and computer science field is good enough but if students were looking for core field than you will be disappointed. There are very limited companies which provide jobs in core branch and that too they take one or two candidates. As per our department, the placements were very poor, and no company came for the mechanical field.

The college is one of the recognised colleges in Chennai but isn't up to the mark in anything.

Placements: Placements over here are not worthy since the companies our college administration brings here are either BPO companies or IT companies. Frankly, they don't care about the placements, and the only reason they bring such companies is to just push the students into them and for the sake of advertisement for the college to trap the rural area students.

My engineering experience at DCE

Placements: The placement was below par for students from core engineering branches. The companies visiting the campus were mostly offering non-technical roles. Most of the companies which came to the campus offered roles which don't require you to be an engineering graduate. A few software companies such as L&T Infotech visited for the senior batch.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of faculty

Placements: No core companies came for placements in the campus, only BPO companies came. Only students who score more than 8 CGPA are allowed for the campus placements. They offered 11000 as the maximum salary, and HCL BPO, TCS BPO etc are the companies which visited. No student got the offer letters yet, and there is no management assistance for any student as they are a money-minded management.

Dhanalakshmi college of Engineering is a mediocre college which acts like as if it is a top rated college but lacks in lot of places. The people here are tested to the core and are made mad and while leaving the institution would be very happy that they got out of the hell at last (Including students and the staff). Here students are not only the sufferers the staffs are too. No respect is given to the staffs and the students. Management is the sole authority to ruin everyone's life. People may ...

Worst college I have ever heard of and been in. Coaching is worse than anything. Very poor minded management. Known for stealing money in every possible aspect, which includes the collection of Rs.20000 every year as stationary fees but no books, notes or equipment are given to students. Remotely located. Poor catering and very costly and yet bad hostel facilities with scary warden and staff members. No arrangements are ever made for placements. I sincerely advise everyone to not join this insti...

DCE is located 13 kms from Tambaram railway station and it is very close to Shiram engineering college! Mandatory college bus & college food (pathetic) Most of staffs are just juniors & freshers. It does have good infrastructure but ZERO placements! One should not choose this college at all!

Worst environment. You pay to go to jail where you learn nothing. The only gain will be the frustration. Faculty members are psychopaths. I will never recommend this college to my worst enemy. They will get the money from you all the time. This college has a fees structure greater than any other colleges. Till now I don't think of a single good point about this college. It is literally a place where you die to get the degree which after which we have to find some other way to get a better job.
