Computer Engineers graduated from DJSCE, by numbers

Evolve is a data visualization project that aims to make sense of the yearly data collected from the final year students at DJSCE.

Over the years we've noticed several interesting patterns, first through our own personal experience and now quantified with data: The number of females every year is decreasing, however females out perform males academically; number of students opting for higher studies and placements is split equally and this trend has remained constant since the last 3 years; there is correlation between the acedemic grades and the number of internships a students does.

Sex Ratio

According to a survey conducted across India, female students constitute of only 26% of the total colleges’ students. Also, their enrolment has dropped over the last four years. So we wanted to analyse the veracity of this trend in our college. Our analysis showed a steady decline in female students’ enrolment since 2016. However, post 2018, our college has seen a 5% rise in the female students which is an anomaly when considering the general trend.

CGPA Analysis

By studying the last few years' data, it has been observed that number of students getting good grades(O and A) has increased by more than twice the amount observed in 2017. Consequently, the number of students getting lower than average grades(B and C) has decreased by around 40% as noted in the base year. While the male students have not increased much over the years, their grades have increased linearly.

Suprisingly, even though the total number of female students have decreased their average grades have increased. An exponential growth has been observed in female students' grades.

Internship Analysis

Internship trends have remained same for both the male and female students. Almost 50% students with grade O have atleast 1 internship while around less than 50% students have not done any internships. For students with grades A, B and C, less than 30% have done atleast 1 internship while more than 60% have no internships. Less than 10% students have done more than 1 internships. This indicates that students with lower grades tend to not have any internships or have 1 internship atmost.

Post grduation

Our data analysis shows that students getting best grades (O) have shown high propensity towards higher studies than placement options. Although students with average grades (A) highly prefer placements, below average students(B and C) have shown almost equal inclination towards higher studies and placements. Both male and female students with having grades other than O, have shown an increased preference towards Placements indicating that a majority of the students have chosen placements over higher studies over the last few years.
