PES University Admission FAQs

Ques. Can an out-of-state student get B.Tech admission at PESU without KCET?

Ans. Yes. Students from outside Karnataka can apply for PESU B.Tech with JEE Main 2026, PESSAT 2026, or COMED-K scores through pes.edu/admissions. These seats come under the management quota, and the full programme fee ranges from INR 18,10,000 to INR 22,10,000 for 4 years, depending on the branch. KEA KCET counselling is only for Karnataka domicile students.

Ques. What does PESSAT mean for PES University admission?

Ans. PESSAT is the university’s own Scholastic Aptitude Test. It is held online in a slot-based format during the year. It is less competitive than JEE Main and is the main admission route for most non-engineering courses at PESU. For B.Tech, PESSAT is used for the management quota route. Results are announced within three working days, and registration is done at pes.edu/admissions.

Ques. Are private board, online, or distance students allowed to apply?

Ans. No. PES University states that distance, online, or private school students are not eligible for most courses, including B.Tech, BBA, B.Com, BCA, and B.Sc Hons. The rule is applied strictly. Students who completed 10+2 through a private or distance board should check course-wise eligibility at pes.edu/admissions before applying.

Ques. Is NEET-UG compulsory for PESUIMSR MBBS management quota?

Ans. Yes. NEET-UG 2026 qualification is required for every MBBS seat at PESUIMSR, including government quota, management quota, and NRI quota. As per NMC rules, no private medical college in India can admit students to MBBS without NEET-UG. Management quota seats are filled through the PESUIMSR direct process at pesuimsr.pes.edu after NEET-UG results.

Ques. What should I do if I do not book a PESSAT slot in time?

Ans. PESSAT runs in slot-based mode on a rolling basis till July 2026. New slots are usually added when earlier slots fill. Students should book early at pes.edu/admissions, especially for high-demand courses such as B.Tech and MBA, so they do not face trouble finding a suitable date later.

Ques. Are scholarships listed during PESU admission?

Ans. PESU does not give detailed scholarship slabs on the admissions page. Merit-based fee concessions may be offered to students with strong academic records. For B.Tech, students with high KCET ranks may be eligible for government scholarships through KEA. Students should check pes.edu and the scholarship section for the latest policy before applying.

Ques. How is PESU B.Com Hons different from regular B.Com?

Ans. B.Com Hons at PESU is a 4-year course with CA, CMA, or General Commerce specializations. The fee ranges from INR 6,50,000 for General to INR 10,50,000 for CMA. Students focused on ICAI CA or CMA may find the integrated coaching support useful. Regular B.Com is a 3-year course with a fee of INR 4,90,000 and suits students who want a shorter degree before MBA or other higher studies.

Ques. What is the management quota MBBS fee at PESUIMSR?

Ans. PESUIMSR charges INR 22,45,000 per year for MBBS management quota for 4.5 academic years, making the total INR 1,01,02,500.
