FAQ
PES University FAQs
What is the management quota fee for CSE at PES University?
PES University CSE management quota fee for 2026-27 is ₹14 lakh per year (approximately ₹56 lakh total for 4 years). CSE AI&ML is similar in pricing. ECE is ₹9 lakh/year and Mechanical ₹6 lakh/year. These fees are set by the university (not government-regulated) since PESU is a private university. PESU sits between MSRIT (₹6L/yr for CSE) and RVCE (₹36L/yr) in terms of pricing, but offers the largest CSE intake in Bangalore with ~1,440 seats across two campuses.
What is the NAAC grade and NIRF ranking of PES University?
PESU holds NAAC A+ accreditation with a CGPA of 3.34 (Cycle 1, issued December 2023, valid for 5 years until 2028). In NIRF 2025, PESU is ranked 137th in Engineering (101–150 band) and was similarly in the 101–150 band in 2024. Core departments (CSE, ECE, Mechanical, EEE) hold NBA Tier-I accreditation. PESU is a State Private University since 2013, not VTU-affiliated — it grants its own degrees.
What are the placement statistics at PES University?
The 2025 batch recorded a highest package of ₹68 LPA (Apple/Amazon), average of ₹13.21 LPA, and median of ₹12.47 LPA, with 1,492+ offers from 350+ companies and 1,250+ internship placements. The 2024 batch saw 1,391 placed out of 1,687 (82%) with highest ₹65 LPA and average ₹11.50 LPA. Top recruiters include Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, Atlassian, NVIDIA, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Flipkart, and Meesho. PESU placements are competitive with RVCE and significantly above most Bangalore private colleges.
Is PES University better than RVCE and BMSCE?
PESU, RVCE, and BMSCE are all top-tier but fundamentally different. PESU is a full private university with its own entrance exam (PESSAT) and the largest CSE intake in Bangalore (~1,440 seats). RVCE is NIRF #99 with higher placement averages (₹15.24 LPA vs PESU's ₹13.21 LPA) but at 3x the MQ fee (₹36L/yr vs ₹14L/yr). BMSCE has the richest heritage (1946, NAAC A++). PESU's strengths are scale (350+ recruiters, 1,492+ offers), university status (own degrees), and placement diversity (Apple, NVIDIA, Meta visit PESU). For CSE specifically, PESU offers more seats, broader recruiter access, and competitive packages.
What is PESSAT and how to apply to PES University?
PESSAT (PES Scholastic Aptitude Test) is PESU's own entrance exam — a computer-based test of 180 minutes covering Physics (60 marks), Chemistry (40 marks), Mathematics (60 marks), and English (20 marks). Registration opens in September, slot booking from October to July, and counselling in June-July. PESU also accepts KCET and JEE Main scores. For management quota, apply through admissions.pes.edu with PESSAT/KCET/JEE rank. Documents: 10th & 12th mark sheets, TC, Aadhaar, PAN card (parent), rank card, and passport photos.
How many CSE seats does PES University have?
PES University has approximately 1,440 CSE seats across its two campuses — making it the single largest CSE-seat provider in Bangalore. Ring Road campus offers ~720 CSE seats and Electronic City campus offers ~720 more. Additional CSE-family programmes include CSE (AI & ML) with approximately 1,200 seats. The total B.Tech intake across all programmes and both campuses exceeds 3,000. This massive scale means more placement opportunities, more recruiter visits, and a wider alumni network.
What is the difference between PES University Ring Road and Electronic City campus?
PESU operates two campuses — Ring Road (25.65 acres, BSK 3rd Stage) and Electronic City (50 acres, Hosur Road). Both offer CSE and ECE. Ring Road is in central Bangalore (2.5 km from Banashankari Metro, Green Line), ideal for city access. Electronic City is in Bangalore's largest IT corridor (1 km from Electronic City Metro, Yellow Line) — Infosys, Wipro, TCS are within walking distance, making internships easier. Electronic City has a larger campus and more greenery. Hostel capacity: RR ~1,200 students, EC ~800 students. Both campuses have their own placement drives.
Does PES University have hostel facilities?
Yes, PESU has hostel facilities at both campuses with a combined capacity of approximately 2,000 students. Ring Road campus has separate boys' (in-campus) and girls' (managed by Living Space) blocks accommodating ~1,200 students. Electronic City campus has in-campus housing for both boys and girls with ~800 capacity. Hostel admission is subject to availability. Management quota students have the same hostel access. Both campuses also have extensive sports facilities including cricket ground, football turf, indoor/outdoor basketball courts, badminton courts, gymnasium, and yoga centres.
