    Poor Placement records but overall a good institution.
    Placements: The college has now taken accreditation of a university so I guess the placement record of the institute might have improved as during my batch and the batch senior to me did not enjoy a good placement experience. Not many good companies had visited the campus for industrial trainings and placements during my period of study. The package range offered was 3-8 LPA. However, the college has a separate placement wing with experienced faculty providing good opportunities to the students.
    Infrastructure: The college has a Wi-fi campus but the wi-fi system in the hostel is not a thing to talk about as it is the worst. The college has a well-equipped sports complex with the latest equipments and library with the latest books & magazines. The food quality of the mess is average. There are separate labs for different subjects.
    Faculty: The faculty strength of the institute is quite appraisable having a highly experienced team imparting their knowledge to the students. They are all highly qualified professionals who are always ready to provide extra classes to their students as per their needs. The industry exposure is quite low as compared to other colleges.
    Other: The college is involved in organizing various activities & events from academics to entertainment. From cricket, basketball to debates and other tech competitions always keep the students engaged all around the year.

    If your willing to study, then you should be here.
    Placements: The placements are the best for computer science students. You can learn a lot here. If you want a comparison, then PES can only be compared with RVCE because of the placements and the infrastructure. PES stands equal and almost top among the independent universities.
    Infrastructure: This has one of the best infrastructure buildings in the whole of Bengaluru. Ramaiyya has a vast campus, but PES provides good spacious infrastructure, which is the best for its purpose. Don't go anywhere when you can have the best infrastructure and good teaching, but make sure you are a disciplinary student from the core itself. PES has a campus for B.Tech like that in any of the offices. You will enjoy the campus when you go through fest scenarios that happen in the college. The management gave a chance, and you must take care of the building utilities properly.
    Faculty: The faculty members for B.Tech and MBA are better than MCA, but good when compared to the other colleges. The faculty abide by the rules of the institution. At PES, you are free to express your ideas, where the faculty members and college support you. If you are the last bencher and want a college life to enjoy, then this is not for you because the college is strict in its ways.
    Other: Atmatrisha and Prakalpa are held on the campus for the students.

Even my senior batch had very good placement offers. Some companies offered with internship and full-time employment.
    Infrastructure: The college had good infrastructure. It had very spacious parking section. There are neatly maintained corridors and classrooms. The projector and Wi-Fi facility is also there in the college. The well-equipped labs are there with air-conditioned. The canteen facility is also available with different cuisines. The very good auditorium is there which can accomodate more than 1000 students at a time.
    Faculty: The college had a well-educated set of faculty members. Most of them hold a doctorate. Faculty advisory facility is provided, where special care and interest is taken to every student. It also helps students to interact with teachers and discuss their thoughts and views.

They organise class meetings and faculty meetings to find out the issues and rectify if any.
    Other: We have MRD scholarship, CNR scholarship which encourages and motivates the students for improvement in studies. So, many educational fests, cultural programs, and educational seminars are done in the college.

    The different colours of my college.
    Placements: The placements on the campus are good. Many numbers of company do visit our college. There is also pre-placement training conducted by the college for the betterment of the students. About, 90% of the students are getting placed every year. The administration is keen and supportive of the students when it comes to the matter of the placement.
    Infrastructure: Overall, the infrastructure is too good, which includes the sophisticated library, parking area, and the ground for the students to play. You can see the large buildings all over the campus. The restrooms are regularly maintained. We can see the green all over the campus with the beautiful trees, and the lawn well-maintained all over the campus.
    Faculty: The faculty members in every department are well-versed in the topic's and ready to help the students at any time. All the professors are almost the doctorates. There will be the regular monitoring by the faculty about the student's performance, and there will be the regular attendance.

    A brief review on PES university.
    Placements: The placements on the campus are good. This is one of the best colleges to study B.Tech. The placements are about 100% for CSE students, and 80% for E&C branch. The highest package was 24 LPA, and the average package offered was 4 LPA to 5 LPA. Every year, most of the students do the internships in many companies, and some of them go abroad to do the internships.
    Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi is offered only for the laptops. There are two libraries, one is the central library which is big enough with a lot of books where one can read, and the other one is a library where one can hire the books. The college campus is Wi-Fi enabled for the students to study. We have a 5-floor library for e-learning, reading arrangements, and the books. The medical facilities are available. The quality of food is good. The classrooms are well-maintained. I didn't face any infrastructure issue during my college tenure.
    Faculty: Some of the faculty members are good at teaching, and they help in everything. Some of them are average. Our college is the best college for conducting the exams. They try to get the best thing out of each student. The student to faculty ratio is about 30:1. We are taken to the industries twice per semester.
