Now, it is upto the authorities that what they want from a student for admission, it depends upon the marks also that you have scored as well. So, it is now upto them, you just need to wait and hope for good. All the best.

Hi Adarsh Nair,
In the first round, rank should be near 800 (last year closing rank was 815) and for the second round it should be near 1000 (last year, it was 1038) to get CS through PESSAT.

Hi Sribhavani Thigireddy,
As far as I know, you won't get your score. You would only get your rank. If your rank is under 850, you will get CSE branch for sure.

The candidates who get the rank between 1 and 1500 will be called first. The candidates who get the rank between 1501 and 2500 will be called the second time
The candidates who get the rank between 2501 and 3750 will be called the third time
The candidates who get the rank between 3751 and 5000 will be called the fourth time
Candidates who have the rank of more than 5000 will be called for 2nd counselling which be held at the end of June and July Maybe.

According to students who have appeared in PESSAT in previous years, it is not extraordinarily difficult to crack it. Preparation can be done alongside other national level entrance exams. For example, if you are preparing for JEE Main, then it's preparation will be sufficient for PES University entrance exam also. In addition, there is an English section also, so just focus on preparing that in addition.
