In short
CHRIST places a bigger share of its 3-year UG batch and pays a little more, but it asks for 55% and does not publish its fourth-year fee. If you have 55% or more, apply to both and compare the full fees in writing before you pay.
In short
Alliance costs less over four years and places more of its 3-year UG batch. If your marks clear 50%, apply to both and pick the one whose honours areas match your plan.
In short
Mount Carmel offers a 3-year B.A in Psychology at a much lower fee, with no honours year. If you want a quick, low-cost degree, it fits; if you want research and a dissertation, PES University fits better.
In short
Garden City charges much less for a 3-year course, but its pay figures are lower and older. If cost decides it, apply there too; if you want the honours year and hospital training, keep PES University first.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on PES University B.Sc (Hons) Psychology
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is B.Sc (Hons) Psychology at PES University worth the fee?▾
It depends on what you plan after the degree. The full fee without the bus is INR 9.70 Lakhs, and PES publishes no pay figures for psychology. If you plan a master's degree and work as a psychologist, the hospital training and the honours dissertation help you get there. Check the scholarship calculator above before you decide.
What job can I get after this course?▾
PES names roles such as clinical, organisational, forensic and educational psychologist, research analyst and wellness consultant. Many of these roles need a master's degree after this course. PES publishes no psychology pay, so ask the department where the last batch went before you pay the blocking fee.
Should I take the 4-year honours or the 3-year B.Sc?▾
Take the honours if you want research or a master's degree later. The fourth year adds a specialisation and a dissertation, and the fee is INR 2.40 Lakhs a year on either track. If you want to start work sooner, the 3-year B.Sc shares the same 300 seats.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you want a small class or need a college room. PES has 300 seats across both tracks, and the fee page lists no hostel fee for this campus. If either matters to you, ask the Admission Cell before you pay the blocking fee.
Is this course good for higher studies?▾
Yes, if you plan for it. Semester 4 has a research project and the honours year ends with a dissertation, which a master's application needs. Across the 3-year UG courses at PES, 167 students went on to higher studies in 2024-25. Pick your honours area with the master's you want in mind.
Should I choose this course if I studied Commerce or Arts?▾
Yes, the stream does not matter. PES needs 50% in Class 12 from any stream and a pass in the online interview. The course has research and statistics papers, so be ready for some work with numbers.
Will I get placed after this course?▾
PES does not publish placements for psychology. Across its 3-year UG courses, 67 of 321 students were placed in 2024-25 at a median pay of INR 4.6 LPA. Plan on a master's degree or a job through your internship, and use the 18-week internship in semester 6 to build contacts.
Should I wait for my Class 12 result before I apply?▾
No. Registration opened on 3 Sep 2026 and interviews are expected from Nov 2026, well before board results. You can sit the interview early, but your final Class 12 marks must still reach 50%. Book a slot once your hall ticket is out.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Register on the PES admissions portal, book an interview slot and sit the online interview. The result comes within three working days. If you pass, pay the blocking tuition fee by demand draft to hold the seat, then report with your original mark sheets.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 4-year fee is INR 9.70 Lakhs: INR 2.40 Lakhs a year in tuition and a one-time admin fee of INR 10,000. With the college bus it comes to INR 11.74 Lakhs. PES takes the fee only by demand draft, so plan the payment early.
Can I get a scholarship on this course?▾
Yes, on merit or a family link. The Prof. MRD scholarship refunds 50% of tuition to the top 5% by CGPA, and the Prof. CNR Rao scholarship refunds 40% to the next 20%. Neither is given in the final year. Use the calculator above to see your total.
Is there a college hostel for this course?▾
The fee page lists no hostel fee for the Ring Road campus. Ask the Admission Cell about rooms before you pay the blocking fee. If no room is offered, plan a paying guest room near the campus before classes start.
The college administers three exams each semester, including two In-Semester Assessments and one End-Semester Assessment. The faculty is relatively new but well-versed and approachable. The examination process is systematic, supported by worksheets and case studies. Although there's no failing system, students with insufficient marks must retake exams due to backlogs. The university is notable for its strong internship opportunities in engineering, BBA, and hotel management, while the psychology department is still too new for placement data.
The institution is well-regarded for its placement programs, a major draw for future students. The annual tuition fee stands at 1.75 lakhs with additional event fees, but no other hidden charges. The university offers competitive scholarships, such as the CNR award, which refunds 50% of the fees for the top 10% of students, and the MRD scholarship, providing a 40% fee waiver for the top 5% based on CGPA. DAC awards of 2,000 INR are also given to students meeting specific academic criteria.
A basic scholarship requires a minimum CGPA of 7.75 and is assessed each semester. All students pay the same tuition fee, with no distinction between different student categories.
