PES University Bangalore, MBA

Reviewed on Nov 22, 2015

Remarks

There is a lot of room for improvement. With a strong, visionary and focused management the univeristy will emerge as a sought after institute.

Entrance Preview

I took PGCET Karnataka Rank 33. PES University primary admissions take place through its own entrance exam pass AT. It also allows other entrance exam scores such as CAT, MAT, CMAT, etc. Candidates eligible to take up PGCET in Karnataka can also rely on PGCET ranking for a seat. A below 60 rank in PGCET is where admissions are possible. Anything further is dependent on luck and your caste certificate.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The course curriculum is designed to meet the demands of the industry keeping in sync with the school like feel. PES is primarily an engineering institute where management courses (MBA, BBM, BBA, Hotel Management) are all a minority. The course emphasises on end sem examinations so practical application of concepts is minimal. The assignments,marks for attendance,internals all give a school like feel.

Internships Opportunities

The college doesnt give much internship opportunities via campus almost nil. But the above mentioned faculties have enough contacts to get the students good internship opportunities.

Placement Experience

Compaies such as ITC,Genpact,Deloitte,Target,MRF,Berger and many others do visit the campus for placements. The salary offered for a ranges between 4-6 lakhs pa. Since its inception PES MBA has a decent track record for campus placements although not 100%. The institute has a good reputation in the market for off campus placements as well.

College Events

2.5

Most of the college events are organized by the engineering department where the management students have a small role to play. PES University hosts programs (both cultural & technical) all year round and that provides a good exposure in the organizing dimension.

Fee Structure And Facilities

PGCET entry candidated pay around Rs. 75,000 a year whereas all other candidates (CAT, CMAT, MAT, PASSAT, etc) pay around Rs. 3.6 lakhs a year. The fee structure varies every year. For latest details contact the admission office of the university.

Fees and Financial Aid

The univeristy provides merit scholarships to top scorers in every domain. There are also other scholarships for students from a low income background.

Campus Life

The University has made good use of the landscape and has a beautiful campus with a basketball court,indoor auditorium,outdoor ground,gym,canteens,coffee kiosks, stationary mart,parking facility etc. Campus life is much like any other institute. There are rules that are followed strictly such as 'No girls on campus after 6pm', 'Decent dressing', etc. There is no discrmination on any issue. The management of all department treats everyone the same as long as students do not cross the line.

Alumni/Alumna

MBA batch 2014-16 will be the first to pass out of PES Univeristy. The alumni share pretty similar experiences and views on most topics. There are a bunch of good teaching faculty that quit along the way. Currently the MBA program is best in class.

Exam Structure

Students have to take up two interim assessments and one end semester assessments. The emphasis is more on the end semester exam. Moreover there are marks allotted for assignments and attendance which are of minimal practical importance. Thus the semester

B-School of great choice in Bangalore

Likes

The college is usually focused on creating a transformative experience for the students. The students here get exposed to practical knowledge more than just theoretical knowledge in classes.
All the subjects include projects which is mandatory which makes the students to get real time experiences outside the college by meeting people outside college.
The students also get to work on a tight schedule throughout their MBA which is a great thing, there will always be something to keep us occupied like events, competitions and sessions which gives real world exposure to students

Dislikes

The college is strict in most of the aspects as they maintain high discipline all the time
Hostel closing time is at 9PM, so it's more restriction on students to go out and order food

Placement Experience:

The placements are good. The college has totally 6 semesters and after the 4th semester the students are eligible to attend the placements. The students need a minimum of 4.8/8.00 CGGA to sit in the placements The companies which visit here are - EY, KPMG, Mindsprint, Lowe's, Accenture, Tata Power, Infosys, Wipro, TCS, Sabre, Oxane, Well's Fargo.

The average package here is 10.5LPA and most of the companies come for this range.

Plans after getting degree is to join work and continue to learn

Why you should join PESU - pros and cons.

I applied to KIIT, VIT, DSCE, BMSIT along with the usual IIT and NIT with BITS. I did not clear JEE, nor was able to get somewhat of a good score for CSE in BITS. I wanted to pursue CS, so instead of choosing a course I did not like in BITS, I chose CS in PESU. I chose PESU because the placements outdo the others, while also having a better reputation than the others. For our batch, it was giving the admission test called PESSAT, through which you got a rank, and based on that you could enter the counselling round and choose your course based on your rank. Now it has changed to a JEE based rank system. For students in Karnataka it is still KCET....Read More

Review about PES UNIVERSITY BANGALORE

Except this college I had applied to RV college of engineering which is the goated college of banglore but because of the cutoff in that college I was not able to join that college. I was allocated to BMSIT college in my 1st round of Kcet but the college was the second branch of BMS College so I choose PES . No I didn't get any rejection from other college but the only issue was the cutoff of RV college of engineering i didn't had enough rank to join there . To join into our college there is a common entrance exam conducted by Karnataka government known as KCET .most students prefer this exam as it reduces the fee of your college. And another way to join into our college is JEE mains exam . My overall admission experience was great, as my college had supported us in the process hasslefree ....Read More
