Yellamma Dasappa Institute of Technology (YDIT), Bangalore

Location:

Yellamma Dasappa Institute of Technology (YDIT) is located on Kanakpura Road, about 14 kms from the centre of Bangalore. Since it's located right at the main road, it's well connected by BMTC buses.
 Infrastructure:

Overall the infrastructure of YDIT seems pretty decent; sufficient open space, well furnished classrooms, new edition books in the library and a digital library with e-books and Internet connectivity. However, the mech and civil departments need a separate block just as CS & IS have. Additionally the ceiling of the top floor of a few blocks are in urgent need of a revamp; they need to be concretised!

Yellamma Dasappa Institute of Technology (YDIT) provides hostel facilities but the hostels are quite small and only a handful of students prefer them. The fees for hostel are around Rs.16,000/- a year, excluding food (for which there is no provision and has to be managed on your own)

Faculty:

Since, Civil and Mechanical are the newly started branches there's a lack of good teachers. ECE, CS, IS are better but only slightly. Many students complain that teachers are not very fluent with English and switch to a more comfortable language (for them, not the students)Attendance:

The college recommends an attendance of 85% without any medical reasons and a further 10% relaxation is allowed if appropriate certificates are produced. However, students say that harsh actions such as detaining are taken only if the attendance is well below this level (around 40-50%) and plus only if your conduct has been bad throughout.Crowd:

The crowd isn't really much to talk about. Almost 99% of the students seem to come from different parts of Karnataka, 99% of which appear to come from distant little villages. There are hardly any students from urban cities and North Indians could perhaps be counted on fingers. A lot of them don't seem to be much serious about their education here and are more interested in having fun.Canteen:

The canteen at Yellamma Dasappa Institute of Technology (YDIT) was recently closed down, apparently due to some 'Vastushastra' problem.Hangouts:

It's on the highway and you can't expect to find anything better than some road-side food stalls and a coconut seller around here.Festivals:

Just one intracollege fest happens in March. It has technical, cultural as well sports events.Placements:

Bad. Tech Mahindra is the biggest recruiter with about 40-50 recruitments every year. Apart from that another 2-3 companies like TCS and Oracle recruit a few more students, but that's pretty much it. No big companies, no fat salaries. About 50% students get placed.

Verdict:
