How was your first semester at PES University?
Life at any university has its hurdles and it can be uncertain initially. But my cousin, who used to be a student at PES University, told me that it eventually turns out to be one of the most memorable times in one’s life.
- You will probably be leaving your home for the first time in your life. You will visit your home during vacations and learn to make long-term decisions for yourself.
- You will end up making friends who will be in your life till long after you graduate and some you will barely remember after completing the first year, if not the first semester.
- My cousin made a lot of friends but he hardly gets the time to get in touch with them. Life takes us all in different ways.
He came across professors who were supportive. He and his classmates also tried to participate in a number of events organized by the university in the first semester.
Which college has better placements for CSE, RVCE or PES University?
RV College of Engineering (RVCE) is definitely better than PES University. The below table shows the placement stats of the B.Tech programs of both colleges for the year 2020.
| Institute | PES University | RV College of Engineering |
| Number of companies visited | - | 245 |
| Number of offers made | 1185 | 1336 |
| Highest salary | INR 49.75 lakhs per annum | INR 49.75 lakhs per annum |
| Median salary | INR 6.50 lakhs per annum | INR 8.50 lakhs per annum |
RVCE additionally states that the CSE branch received 250 job offers in the year 2020. Apart from the usual mass recruiters many top MNCs such as Hyundai, Mercedes, Volvo, Intel, and Microsoft, etc. also visit the campus for placements.
Along with that, there are many other factors that make RVCE better than PES University –
- Infrastructure - It is one of the oldest private engineering colleges in the state with lush green and well-maintained campus. Though it is not very big, it is located in the center of the city.
- Faculty - The faculty-to-student ratio is 1:60 making learning quite easy. Most of them have done PhDs from elite institutes. The curriculum is well balanced and all the necessary equipment and lab are in proper shape.
- Other - The college has the biggest IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) chapter in the whole of south India. The annual fest UTSAV is also very famous in the region.
So you can join RVCE without any second thought and you will not regret your decision.
How is the food at PES University?
The food facilities at PES University are not bad. Let me share my friend’s experience and provide you some details about the food at PES University.
- There are three messes available for students, namely, the Hotel mess, “Namdhari”, Food Point, and the Food Court.
- Moreover, there are various kinds of food available for the Northern people since they are mostly in the habit of preferring northern cuisine like chapatis in both lunch and dinner.
- Every other mess has similar kinds of chapatis, yet the side dishes vary from one mesh to another.
- However, the Food Court is the most preferred one, since you will then be responsible to pay only during buying an item.
- Most essentially, when discussing the two other messes, excluding the Food Court, they have mandated coupons of their own to avail for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a tea break in between course meals.
- But, for the Food Court, the system is quite different. You will be given coupons that are worth Rs. 4100 and you are only required to pay Rs. 10 to buy each.
- You can rather spend the amount in accordance with your everyday diet meal.
The food is quite expensive as well. For example, if you want South Indian cuisine, the hostel mess is pretty reasonable. While, for North Indian cuisine, it is “Namdhari.” You can also go outside of the campus to avail other food services. My friend studied and availed food from the hostel and says that it is not the best when compared to the other two.
From which semester do placements start for CSE students in PES University?
Usually, the placement starts at the end of summer vacation after the 6th semester, around the end of July. Companies start visiting for recruitment from the start of fourth year. Some companies that offer internships to 3rd-year students, may offer pre-placement options to some students. You can expect placement at PES University to start from the 6th semester.
Which among these MBA colleges are worth? PES university, BMS college or RNSIT?
PES University will be better for a management course. BMS and RNSIT are engineering colleges known for their technical degrees. PES University MBA fees are high, around INR 10 LPA. But this huge investment pays off eventually.
PES University has academic partnerships with Harvard University, IBM, Earnest & Young, etc. So, you will get great exposure and opportunities. The average CTC for MBA at PES is INR 3-4.8 LPA. HP, ITC, KPMG, and E&Y are some of the major recruiters.
Which is better among IIIT Bangalore (IMTech) or PES University (B.Tech in CS) in terms of placements and quality of education?
Here is some information on this subject-
PESU offers good placements for B.Tech CS. But because of a very large batch size, its average package comes down. The top 100 B.Tech CS students of PESU easily grab a package of 10 LPA+.
But IIITB is a better choice. It offers better faculty, peer group, placements, etc. Though PESU has a large campus, a lot of it is under construction.
I would recommend you choose iMtech at IIIT Bangalore, especially if you are not planning for a Masters’ abroad.
Why is PES University (Electronic City campus) offering BE degree instead of a BTech degree? Is it still affiliated to VTU?
PES University’s Electronic City campus is now formally part of the PES University and not part of the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) starting from the academic year of 2019-20.
When the transition occurred PES University used to offer a BE degree and not a B.Tech. As to why PES offered BE and not B.Tech, the best guess would be that they wanted to differentiate the program from other engineering programs being offered by VTU. Currently, though, they are offering the traditional B.Tech degree. However, it does not matter if it is BE or B.Tech. As there is no such significant difference between B.E and B.Tech degrees.
Which is better if I am an IS aspirant, mechanical engineering in PES University or IS in RNSIT?
PES University is an autonomous university. The marking system of the college is good. IS branch in RSIT is good. The college offers 98% placement to its students. The college is affiliated with VDU.
The evaluation process of this university is not good. But the college will help you in gaining knowledge. PES university will be good for you if you want to take the mechanical branch. CS and IS students get good placements in the RNSIT college. The highest package has gone to INR 10 LPA in companies like Amazon. The students who do not get placements in the first round are recruited by companies like Accenture and TCS in their mass recruitment drives.
The placement statistics of RNSIT college is as follows:
| Total offers received | 707 |
| Overall placement percentage | 73% |
| Total companies visited | 101 |
| Top recruiters | Adobe, Infosys, Accenture, etc. |

| Highest CTC offered | INR 19 LPA. |
The academics, infrastructure, culture, and sports facilities are all good in the college. There is no ragging on the campus. The college seniors are very friendly and welcoming. Overall RNSIT is a good college.
