If you are expecting a massive, sprawling university campus where you need a bicycle to get from one end to the other, DBS isn't that. The campus is relatively compact and cozy. However, they have done a lot with the space they have. The classrooms are promised to be modern, fully air-conditioned, and equipped with smart boards and projectors that actually work but sometimes they dont really tend to work especially the AC. The library is a nice, quiet escape with a solid collection of books. The main grievance among students is the lack of big sports fields; there is a small ground, but if you are a hardcore sports enthusiast, the tight layout might feel a bit restricting.
The academic vibe here is quite good, mostly because of the professors. A lot of them bring real corporate experience to the table, meaning you won't just be memorizing textbooks; they will actually explain how things work in the real world. They are generally approachable and happy to help you after class. Another big plus is that DBS bakes extra certifications into the curriculum, like SAP, SAS, or digital marketing modules. The only catch? The administration can be incredibly strict about attendance, and they are known to hand out heavy fines for things like dress code violations or missing classes, which can feel a bit frustratingly like school.
This is usually everyone's biggest question. The Career Development Cell (CDC) at DBS works incredibly hard, bringing over 350 companies to campus. (Why do i know this? Because i am a member of CDC) For management students, the average package floats around 8.7 LPA, with the highest packages hitting up to 26 LPA. Big names like Deloitte, EY, and Axis Bank do show up. However, you need to know the reality: the vast majority of the bulk placements are heavily tilted toward sales and marketing roles. If you are specialized in Finance or HR, you will have to work a bit harder and compete fiercely because those core roles are more limited.
Whether DBS is worth the investment depends entirely on your alternative options. It sits comfortably in the middle tier. It is significantly more affordable than the elite B-schools in metro cities, and because the average package is decent, most hard-working students manage to recover their tuition costs fairly quickly (a positive Return on Investment). But if you don't utilize the extra certification programs, or if you end up with a lower-end sales package, you might feel the fees were a bit steep for what you got.
Living in Dehradun is a massive perk in itself—the weather is beautiful, the air is clean, and the mountains are right there for weekend trips. On campus, life is pretty vibrant. There are always cultural fests, music events, and active student clubs keeping things busy. The hostel life is a mixed bag, though. While the girls' hostels are highly secure and the mess food is surprisingly decent compared to typical college food, the strict rules, early curfews, and the administration’s love for imposing fines can sometimes put a dampener on the freedom you expect from college life.
Overall DBS is a solid, practical choice. While the campus is compact and the administration is strict about rules and attendance, the ROI is genuinely good. If you focus on your studies, grab the extra corporate certifications, and make the most of their active placement cell, it provides a fantastic launchpad into the business world; all set against the beautiful, scenic backdrop of Dehradun.
The college infrastructure for the new building is great but old building lacks basic amenities also. The technical part has so much corruption and delays. Coming to living spaces, you'll get the best food compared to other hostel but incase of hygiene they rank first from below. The electronics are not at all maintained and AC's in classroom doesn't work. The hostel infrastructure lacks maintenance and if complained takes alot of time to get it repaired.
The college is moderate at academics. There are only 3 to 4 faculties who makes you feel that you are studying in college rest looks like your still in school studying basics that too on your own. It just makes you survive with basic knowledge of subjects and you'll forget your English, grammar, speaking skills, general knowledge and survival skills it's all bookish and has no exposure.
Depends on the favouritism of the CDC Cell and favouritism of teachers. The quality of placements are good and the average package is between 4 to 5 LPA and the highest is 7 LPA for all courses. 7 LPA went for MBA.
Not worth the money
The college is revolves around classes, very poor management and Events is the worst part, all events are based on discrimination as the winners are pre decided or based on the favouritism of the judges. And normal events happen once in a decade.
Good infrastructure provided by the college classrooms and lecture halls assess weather seating in ergonomics and also have multimedia integration like smart boards and projectors and strong acoustics
As per academics college is somewhat strict 75 per attendance is must management considered it strictly during university exams. Feild visits are held during your course to assist us improve our hands.
