About

Established in 1991, Dayananda Sagar College of Architecture (DSCA) is a well-regarded private institution in Bangalore for students passionate about design and construction. Affiliated with Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) and approved by the Council of Architecture (CoA), the college has built a strong reputation over the decades. As part of the prestigious Dayananda Sagar Group of Institutions, DSCA is recognised among the top choices for architectural studies in Karnataka, consistently featuring in various private college rankings. The primary academic offering is the five-year Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) program, alongside a Master of Architecture (M.Arch). Admission to the B.Arch course is determined by performance in the NATA entrance exam and Class 12 marks. Seat allocation for Karnataka students happens through KCET counselling, while students from other states can apply via COMEDK. The annual fee for the 2025-26 B.Arch batch is expected to be approximately ₹3.5 lakhs for students admitted through COMEDK, with different fee structures applicable for KCET and management quota seats. Regarding career outcomes, detailed placement statistics for the 2025 and 2026 graduating batches are yet to be compiled. However, based on the trends from previous years, DSCA maintains a decent placement record. Graduates have been recruited by prominent firms like L&T, Atkins, and RSP Architects. The average salary package for fresh graduates typically ranges from ₹5 to ₹6 lakhs per annum. Many alumni also venture into entrepreneurship by starting their own design studios or pursuing higher education at reputed universities globally.
