An established college on the way to become an upcoming University

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

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.

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.

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.
