In terms of placements, there is no difference as such- whether you talk about PESIT or PES, both colleges provide good placements. 

The students of both universities get to sit together with each other inside the campus. Jobs depend upon how well you perform with your abilities. The better you put your abilities to use, the higher your chances of getting a job are. 

But if we consider education, there is a difference that is to be marked. If I talk about PES, this is a University entirely. On the other hand, PESIT falls under VTU which is the South Campus. Now, faculty-wise, both the colleges share a fine set of faculty that can inspire you in many ways. You can end up learning a lot from them.

PESIT Banashankari has been converted into a private university under the PES University Act established in 2012. The first batch of students to join after this change was put under the affiliation of PES University. Naturally, after four years, they were awarded a degree by PES University.

A few other batches that may have been admitted under VTU affiliation, were continued under the same affiliation till those students graduated. As far as senior batches are concerned, they could migrate to PES University but it requires a lot of paperwork and it takes time. There are chances that the management will not opt for this.

In case you are still unclear about this and CET cell codes cause confusion, you can get in touch with the authorities who will help sort this matter out.

I have a few friends at PEC. And based on the information I got from them, here are some of the facts about the internship program work at the PES University.

• Some of the foreign institutions such as Carnegie Mellon University, NTU (Singapore), and some others do take a few of the students from the sixth semester for Summer internship programs. But the students have to pay quite a big amount to avail these internships in these institutions.
• It is important to note that these internships mainly offer subjects from CS such as Machine Learning and AI. These internship opportunities are limited to students from the CS department only and those few students from other branches who have an interest in programming.
• However, some Multinational companies such as Microsoft, Goldman Sachs (Software and Business analyst profiles), GE Digital, NASDAQ, Cisco (Software, Hardware, Business analyst and project analyst profiles), Kirloskar, Toyota, TVS visit the campus for hiring students for a summer internship from CS, EC, and mechanical department. Sometimes, these summer internships are also converted into pre-placement offers according to performance.

In the 8th semester, the internship companies visit the campus for placement drive and offer internships as well as a Full-time placement offer. Overall, the placement is good and if the performance of the student is good, they can land in a good place.

PES University is undoubtedly better than Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Bangalore campus. The most important decision should be whether to take Mechanical engineering or ECE as both are different disciplines and unrelated to each other as well. The choice of your engineering branch should be based on your passion and interest as you would have to study it for 4 years and then do a job in the same field as well.

After that, comes the college. These are some of the parameters on which you can compare the two universities.

• Faculty – Their qualifications, experience, and the quality of teaching.
• The quality of research that happens at the college
• Curriculum – More choice or flexibility in subject selection including some Humanities subjects
• Study environment
• Placements
• Fee – Amrita University has a higher fee than PES University.

Here is a brief overview of the recent placement highlights at the institutes.

However, you should focus on gaining knowledge and that you can do at any university. But some university will help you more than other and that’s what makes PES University better than Amrita University, Bangalore campus.

PES University in Bangalore is considered better than AIMS. One of my friends, being a graduate of AIMS itself, widely states that the institute somewhat lacks the basic amenities.

• AIMS Bangalore, unfortunately, misguides different people by projecting themselves as a premier college. The faculty in the institute is also not the best you could get.
• AIMS used to be a good institute for pursuing BBA, however, it has only lost its credibility very recently.
• The college lacks the same facilities and infrastructure which PES greatly has.
• In fact, PES Bangalore has a top-notch and well-qualified faculty with significant corporate exposure.
• PES University provides foreign exposure and extracurricular activities, as opposed to AIMS.

Knowing students from both the institutes and on the basis of their experience, the placement stats of either institute, course fee structures, it can be determined that PES University is ahead of AIMS.

However, you can still run a check on the other options you have around Bangalore since there are better institutes than both of these.

Though both PES University and NIT Patna don’t have a sufficient reputation in the industry, NIT Patna can be a better choice because of the NIT tag. Having friends study in both the institutes, here are some things they mentioned -

• Choosing any institute, which is near to the home city, is better than choosing any of the two institutes mentioned.
• Both of the institutes are of below standard quality and have no reputation in the private industrial sector. This matters a lot in placement.
• NIT Patna offers some amount of placement, at least better than PES University. The only reason behind the cause is the NIT tag.
• PES University is not at all worth considering for an engineering degree in CSE.
• It even does not fulfill the criteria stated by them and is considered fraud in some reviews.

So, these two institutes are not worth considering. There are several options for engineering aspirants in India like IITs, BITS, IIITs, and various other private institutes.

According to the recent cut-off trends for PES University, the cut-off for computer science was 1094. So you can easily get admission in all the other branches, i.e. electronics and communication, electrical and electronics engineering, biotechnology engineering, mechanical engineering, and civil engineering.

Many factors determine the cut-off like the number of students who applied, appeared, and qualified for the exam; seat availability; difficulty level of the exam; and reservation policy.

So it is advisable for you that once you qualify for the exam you should analyze all these aspects to know about your chances to get admission to PES University.
