I graduated from PESU during 2019 and I would not rate this university very high.
I’m a MS student abroad and it really doesn’t matter where you have done your undergrad. PESU has no name outside Bangalore/Karnataka.
I studied ECE and I strongly suggest people not to take it here. Firstly the syllabus is very outdated. Most of the subjects are USELESS. They have a Minors in CSE to loot more money from the students with some CSE subjects. These CSE subjects are given for ECE students even by VTU universities. So essentially, PES just markets well but is hollow on the inside.
Next coming to the quality of students. It’s not all that great. GPA is given utmost importance and very less emphasis on practical learning. Even Jawahar emphasises on GPA (even though he’s US educated) in his sessions. People just waste hours by hearting the subjects without appreciating the beauty of it.
Coming to placements, I don’t think it’s all that great.
