Should you pick B.Sc (Hons) Economics at PES University?

This course suits students who like maths and data and want a career in economics, finance or research.

Pick it if:
You want a job in data or finance: you learn Python, R and STATA, and PES names risk analyst and business analyst as jobs for it.
You like research more than rote learning: every semester has a mini project and a research paper, and the final year ends with a dissertation.
You want internships in a big city: Bengaluru has many banks and analytics firms, and your internships come in semesters 6 and 8.
You want a small class: the course has 40 seats in all, so the batch is small and teachers get to know each student.
Skip it if:
You want a clear pay figure before you join: PES has no separate pay report for Economics, and its three-year UG median is INR 4.6 LPA.
Your family needs to pay in parts: PES takes the full year's fee at once, by DD only, and allows no instalments.
You are counting on campus placement alone: in the 2024-25 three-year UG batch, 67 of 321 were placed and 167 went on to higher studies.
You do not enjoy maths: the core subjects include Statistics, Mathematics for Economics and Econometrics, and you work in Python and R.
Counsellor's advice
If you want an economics or data career and a master's degree later, take this seat. If you need campus placement to repay a loan, keep a college with a pay report above it.

In short
CHRIST's three-year UG courses place more of the batch and report a higher median, but it publishes no fourth-year fee. If campus placement matters most, ask CHRIST for the full fee first; if you want a batch of 40 and a dissertation, take PES University.
In short
Alliance charges INR 5.10 Lakhs more for its four-year B.Sc (Hons) Economics and places a bigger share of its three-year UG batch. If the extra fee is easy for your family, consider Alliance; if cost matters, take PES University.
In short
JAIN's three-year UG courses place about two in three students, but JAIN publishes no fee for its BA Economics Honours. If placement support is your goal, get JAIN's fee in writing before you compare; if you want a known fee now, take PES University.
In short
Mount Carmel's figures come from an older batch and it lists fees for only three of the four years. If you want a central Bengaluru campus, ask Mount Carmel for the fourth-year fee first; if you want a fee fixed for all four years, take PES University.
In short
Azim Premji charges INR 6.73 Lakhs more over four years and publishes no NIRF placement data. If you want a liberal arts campus and qualify for its financial aid, apply to both; if you want the lower fee, take PES University.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on PES University B.Sc (Hons) Economics

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is B.Sc (Hons) Economics at PES University worth the fee?▾
It is worth it if you want an economics, finance or data career and plan well. The full fee is INR 8.90 Lakhs for four years. PES has no separate pay report for this course, and its three-year UG courses show a median of INR 4.6 LPA. If you will repay a loan from your first salary, compare this with the loan EMI in the fee block before you decide.
What job can I get after this course?▾
PES lists roles like risk analyst, business analyst, financial advisor, economic advisor and economic journalist for this course. It also names RBI, SEBI and Indian Economic Service exams as paths. The training in Python, R, STATA and Tableau helps most in analyst jobs. If you want a government economics post, plan to write those exams after you graduate.
Should I take this course if I did not study maths in Class 12?▾
Yes, you can, but be ready to work on maths. PES asks for 50% in any stream, so maths is not a must. The core subjects include Statistics, Mathematics for Economics and Econometrics. If you did not have maths, revise Class 11 maths before classes start so the first year does not feel heavy.
Is this course good for higher studies abroad or in India?▾
Yes, it suits students who want a master's degree. Every semester has a mini project and a research paper, and the final year ends with a dissertation. Among PES three-year UG graduates of 2024-25, 167 of 321 went on to higher studies. If a master's is your plan, pick a dissertation topic early and ask a teacher to guide you.
Who should not take this course at PES?▾
Skip it if you want a sure campus job with a known salary. PES has no separate pay report for Economics, and in its three-year UG batch of 2024-25 only 67 of 321 were placed. Skip it also if your family needs to pay in parts, because PES takes the full year's fee at once. Pick a course with a published placement record in that case.
Is the 4-year Honours better for me than a 3-year degree?▾
The Honours year helps most if you want research or a master's degree. The fourth year adds an internship in semester 8 and the dissertation. It also costs one more year of the fee, INR 2.20 Lakhs. If you want to start work early and do not plan higher studies, a three-year degree may suit you better.
Will a small batch of 40 help me?▾
Yes, a batch of 40 means teachers know each student and projects get more attention. It also means few seats for the whole year of interviews, which are open until Jul 2027. If you have decided on PES, book an early interview slot after slot booking opens in Oct 2026.
Should I wait for my Class 12 result before I apply?▾
No, you do not need to wait. Registration for the 2027 batch opened on 3 Sep 2026 and interviews are held from Nov 2026 to Jul 2027. You can take the interview before your result, but you need 50% in the final marksheet to join. Register early and book a slot, because there are only 40 seats.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Register on the PES admissions portal and pick B.Sc (Hons) Economics. Book an interview slot from Oct 2026, take the online interview, and get the result three days later. Then pay the year's tuition fee by DD to take the seat. You need 50% in Class 12 from any stream.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full four-year fee is INR 8.90 Lakhs: INR 2.20 Lakhs a year in tuition and a one-time INR 10,000 admin charge. With the college bus on the longest route it comes to INR 10.94 Lakhs. The toggle in the fee block shows what the bus adds.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
No. PES takes the full year's fee at once and does not allow instalments. It accepts the fee only by DD, not by cash, cheque or bank transfer. If paying a full year at once is hard, talk to a bank about an education loan before your interview result comes.
Which scholarships can I get in this course?▾
PES gives merit awards on your marks. The Prof. MRD award pays back 50% of tuition to the top 5% of the class, up to INR 3.30 Lakhs, and the Prof. CNR Rao award pays back 40% to the next 20%. Staff children, PES graduates, siblings and children of alumni get 10% to 30% off. You get only one award a year, so the bigger one counts.
