MY perspective of PESU

As a person who studied an outdated syllabus in BCA, I was pushed into this advanced syllabus in PESU, the quality of syllabus is very good at least in first Sem for me, me along with my classmates are learning new things, we might find it difficult but considering the placement aspects we are getting prepared in a good way due the course curriculum.

For PESSAT batch the total fees for MCA in PESU is 5 lakhs, which reasonable considering other colleges fees structure, and for the PGCET batch the total fees including the college fees and govt fees is 3 lakhs. Fees structure is fixed and no hike is done, regulations are strict for fees structure. There are many scholarships available from the university like MRD scholarship which refunds 50 percent the fees this is provided to top 5 students who secure CGPA above 9, CNR scholarship which refunds 40 percent of the fees, this is given to top 20 percent students who secure more than 7 CGPA, scholarships are given irrespective of cast, religion and any other facts. Due to being in first sem we I have not undertaken any responsibilities as of now but I will in the future.

Campus life is good, it depends on how much you utilise the facilities provided by the university, you have good library, parks, canteens and infrastructure, you don't get bored being in campus, it is open till 9pm of the day. Students in PESU come from different parts of India due to which I made many friends of many parts of India. But you also should be aware of what type of friends you make. Safety for female students is prioritised, no ragging policy is very strict and will be implemented then there if any one is ragging any students. Sports faculty is good we have a full pledged ground and indoor stadium which is well equipped, PESU has many student run clubs, frequent activities will be going on in college campus every week. Fests are celebrated grandly and safely which has good impact in a students life.

The admission to MCA in PESU is a long process as the university gives admission to only worthy students through PESSAT or CET. First I applied on the university website, then I chose a interview slot, at the chosen day I was interviewed by the faculty themselves through online, I performed well in the interview and my seat was confirmed. After the seat was confirmed I was told to block the seat by paying 1 lakh ten thousand. After few months university sent me a final admission mail to pay remaining fees including the day of admission, note that the remaining fees should be payed through DD. At the day of admission they verified my documents and the admission was complete. This might sound long but PESU makes sure we have sufficient time to pay fees and prepare for the interview. There is no reservation or anything for PESSAT. I was asked basics to advanced questions about computer science so if you are trying for PESSAT please prepare thoroughly.

Currently for MCA we are a class of 260 and the student to faculty ratio is 1 faculty for every 40 students. Faculty in our department are well qualified, senior faculty have phd and great achievements in their name, but still students find difficulty in understanding few concepts as the syllabus is more advanced. But overall our department has quality faculty.
