Fees
The management-quota fee comparison below is rendered from the current 2026-27 fee rows, not authored comparison prose. PES University CSE is ₹12,00,000 (annual fee); AIT CSE is ₹4,35,000 (annual fee).
Where Year 1 differs from later years, the amount is labelled as Year 1 payable rather than an annual fee.
Academics
PES is far ahead academically. As a state private university, PES has curriculum autonomy, a large CSE department, and strong CS/IT programmes. For B.Tech 2026 admissions, PES uses JEE Main and KCET scores, with a separate Higher Fee Category / Management / NRI / Sponsored route handled through the admissions office. Acharya is VTU-affiliated with 13+ programmes but lacks PES's research depth and curriculum innovation.
Campus Life
PES at 100 Feet Ring Road, Banashankari offers prime south Bangalore location near IT corridors. Acharya on Hessarghatta Road is further from tech hubs. PES has modern Deemed University infrastructure; Acharya has functional but more basic facilities.
