Placements & Internships : Quite a few prominent companies from the IT sector visit PESIT every year to recruit students as part of campus placements. Companies that offer a range of salary packages, starting from as low as 2.5lpa to those that offer up to 50lpa come to PESIT every year. Some of these companies recruit in mass numbers while others are selective. About 85% of the batch gets placed on an average every year. The roles that these companies hire for are mainly technical, while a few of them have looked for Data Analysts, Business Developers and Digital Marketers. A huge chunk of students get hired as IT developers. A few companies that hire in large numbers are Infosys, Wipro, Deloitte, etc. The faculty members do help students find suitable internships, but students often end up finding internships on their own.

Entrance Exams & Admissions : I was admitted to PESIT through the Karnataka Common Entrance Test College Allotment process. My KCET rank was eligible for admission in PESIT. The exam is a fairly easy one, since the syllabus is primarily the 12th grade CBSE Science stream portions. Requires a fair bit of practice on a regular basis. The typical cut-off for my course i terms of the required rank is around 6000 for the general category.

Fees & Scholarships : The course fee per year, including the KCET fees comes anywhere between 70k and 80k INR, depending on how much the college fees charged may vary. Students belonging to minority castes may avail a government provisioned scholarship annually which waives off the KCET fees, About all the students from underprivileged castes get this scholarship.  Loans are often not needed to pay the college fee alone, since it is very affordable if admitted through KCET. However, if a student hails from a highly impoverished family, they may need to take a loan. The ease of accessibility of these loans depends on the student's family's financial condition and other factors.

Academics & Faculty : PESIT sticks to its routine. Classes start for the day at 8AM and conclude at 3.15PM with 2 breaks in between. Teachers are very punctual and efficiently use the class hours to maximize productivity in terms of either work done or portions covered. Assignments are given about three times a semester, usually before the monthly internal assessments, so students get a rough idea about what's to come. Assignments are also evaluated in a timely manner and faculty members assist the students in case of any difficulty. The quality and method of teaching is satisfactory, but can be better. Teachers enthusiastically offer help and assistance with research work. The overall experience in college is quite satisfactory. Academics can be slightly better in terms of teaching. But students who are interested in research can find highly experienced and skilled teachers to guide them. They can also work with teachers pursuing their own doctorates.

College Infrastructure & Hostel Facilities : There are 2 separate hostels for boys and girls. The boys' college is on-campus, while the girls' college is located near Amaatra Academy, about 6 kms from the college. Hostels are well-maintained and well-equipped. The hostel fee per year comes up to around 120000 INR, which would be about 10000 INR.  There are quite a few good PGs located within walking distance from the college premises. They charge an affordable amount per month. The food offered in PESIT hostels can be better. They can be more nutritious and satisfying in terms of taste and quality. The same caterers who provide food in the hostels are in charge of catering food for the college cafeteria and food bus. The food is slightly overpriced and can be of better quality. Also, PESIT has very few places to get food from. PESIT definitely needs more accessible food points throughout the campus since right now these food points are sparsely distributed within the campus. Classrooms, labs and libraries are well equipped. Almost all the computers are in good working condition. The library is packed with books and is regularly updated with newer versions of good books. Every classroom, seminar hall and lab is equipped with a projector and a screen to display presentations, videos and any digital supplementary content as the students or faculty may see fit. The benches and other necessities are in good condition. Wi-Fi accessibility can be better throughout college. 

Clubs & Associations : Clubs such as Enigma, Avions, etc are active in PESIT which work with automobiles, drones, etc. A number of IEEE clubs such as RAS(Robotics and Automation Club), Women in Engineering etc are also very active. A number of research clubs are also very active. The main cultural events are Maaya and Activity Day Fest. A number of tech events are also organized throughout the year, such as hackathons and project exhibitions.  College life in general is good, but it can include more events and activities to make it a more fun experience.
