PESITM Highlights 2026
PES Institute of Technology and Management, Shivamogga, is a private engineering and management college under PES Trust. The current official website describes PESITM as established in 2007 on a 49-acre campus in the Malnad region of Karnataka. The institute currently highlights 10 undergraduate programs and 2 postgraduate programs, along with research centre activity and campus placement support.
For students planning 2026 admission, PESITM stands out mainly for its KCET + COMEDK + management admission routes, VTU affiliation, residential campus ecosystem, and a clearly published official placement snapshot.

Why Choose PESITM?
VTU affiliation with AICTE approval
PESITM’s UG and PG admissions are tied to the Karnataka engineering and PG admission ecosystem, which makes the route straightforward for KCET, COMEDK and KEA counselling candidates.
10 UG programs plus MBA and MCA
The current website highlights a broad engineering mix including CSE, AI&ML, CSE(Data Science), Computer Science and Design, ECE, EEE, Mechanical, Civil and more.
NAAC ‘A’ and NBA-backed branches
The official site highlights NAAC accreditation and NBA accreditation across 6 undergraduate branches, which matters for students comparing academics and department maturity.
49-acre residential campus
Students looking for a proper campus environment rather than a compact city building may find PESITM attractive because of its larger land area and residential setup.
Official placement report available
Unlike many college pages that stay vague, PESITM publicly shows last-available placement statistics on its website, which helps students compare expectations more realistically.
Hostel, transport and scholarship ecosystem
The institute highlights separate hostels, city transport support, scholarship circulars and student chapters, which helps students planning campus living and budget.
Approvals, Accreditation & Affiliation
| Recognition Layer | Status | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| AICTE | Approved | Confirms the institute operates within the required technical-education approval framework. |
| VTU, Belagavi | Affiliated | Engineering and many academic rules, examinations and degree structure align with the VTU system. |
| Government of Karnataka | Recognized | Important for state counselling-linked understanding and institutional legitimacy. |
| NAAC | A Grade | Institution-level quality benchmark. Official NAAC listing reviewed for this page shows CGPA 3.03. |
| NBA | 6 UG branches highlighted | Useful if you are comparing department quality rather than only the college brand. |
| NIRF | No prominent current NIRF rank found | Students should not assume a current NIRF rank unless they verify it from the latest official NIRF release. |
Campus, Hostel & Location
PESITM is located on NH-206, Sagar Road, Shivamogga, in the Malnad region of Karnataka. For students from Shivamogga and nearby districts, this makes the college easier to access by city transport. For outstation students, the campus is structured enough to work as a residential option because official facilities pages clearly show hostel, transport, security, sports and health-support infrastructure.
The official site gives a strong hostel infrastructure picture, but a complete public 2026 hostel-fee sheet was not clearly visible. If hostel is non-negotiable for you, confirm room type, mess fee, refundable deposits and vacancy status with the admissions office before paying anything.
PESITM Admission 2026
PESITM admissions for 2026 should be understood by route, not by a single generic form.

Important Dates 2026
A college-specific day-by-day 2026 admission schedule was not prominently published on the pages reviewed. The best way to plan PESITM admission is to track the live institute admission enquiry page and the official exam/counselling calendars for KCET, COMEDK, Karnataka PGCET and KMAT.
| Event | Date / Status | Planning Note |

PESITM Cutoff Trend
Because cutoff data changes by exam, round, quota and category, students should never read one number in isolation. The following table gives a last-available approved-secondary snapshot for Karnataka PGCET Round 1 under the General All India view, which is still useful as a broad planning benchmark for MBA and MCA at PESITM.
| Course | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | Trend Reading |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBA (Karnataka PGCET Round 1, General-All India) | 9859 | 9978 | 6232 | More competitive in the latest available cycle. |
| MCA (Karnataka PGCET Round 1, General-All India) | 5258 | 6901 | 7107 | Moderate movement across the last available cycles. |
Always match the same exam, same round and same category filter before comparing years. A cutoff shown for General-All India, Home State or a later round can look very different even for the same program.
Admission Process Step by Step
-
Choose your route firstDecide whether you are applying through KCET, COMEDK, management quota, Karnataka PGCET or KMAT. This changes your counselling path completely.
-
Check eligibility for the exact programVerify your 10+2 or graduation marks, subject combination and category eligibility before you assume the route is open to you.
-
Appear in the required entrance exam For 2026, engineering students should track KCET and COMEDK, while MBA / MCA applicants should track Karnataka PGCET and KMAT as relevant.
-
Participate in counselling or institute admission follow-up KCET, COMEDK and KEA PGCET routes depend on counselling. Management-route students should still stay in touch with the institute and verify the current process carefully.
-
Keep documents ready in originalPESITM’s official admission pages list original marks cards, rank cards, transfer certificate, study certificate, Aadhaar and other supporting documents.

Courses Offered at PESITM
| Level | Programs / Specialisations | 2026 Planning Note |
|---|---|---|
| UG Engineering | Computer Science & Engineering, Information Science & Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Computer Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering (Data Science), Computer Science & Design | Current official website highlights 10 UG programs. |
| PG Management | MBA | Officially listed on the current PG admissions page. |
| PG Computer Applications | MCA | Officially listed on the current PG admissions page. |
| Research | Ph.D / M.Sc (Engineering) by Research through recognized research-centre activity | Relevant mainly for research-oriented students, not standard UG admission. |
| M.E / M.Tech | Reconfirm 2026 availability | Older secondary references list an M.E./M.Tech offering, but the current official PG page reviewed for this article mainly details MBA and MCA. |
Fee Structure
A complete official 2026 fee sheet was not prominently visible on the pages reviewed. So the figures below are shown only as indicative last-available references from approved secondary sources. Students should confirm the final amount directly with PESITM before taking admission.
| Program | Indicative Total Tuition Fee | Fee Label |
|---|---|---|
| B.E / B.Tech | ₹3.86 lakh – ₹7.44 lakh | Last available reference |
| MBA | ₹1.17 lakh | Last available reference |
| MCA | Fee not clearly displayed in the reviewed public sources | 2026 update awaited |
| Hostel Fee | Confirm directly with institute | Official public figure not clearly visible |
At college level, your real first-year cost is not only tuition. Ask for the full breakup: tuition, university charges, exam fee, hostel room fee, mess fee, transport and refundable deposits. That is the only reliable way to compare PESITM with other options.
PESITM Placements
The official PESITM website currently shows a structured placement statistics page for 2022-23 and 2021-22. That makes the following table more useful than vague placement claims. Use it as the latest clearly visible official structured placement data from the college website.
| Particulars | 2022-23 | 2021-22 |
|---|---|---|
| No. of Eligible Students | 515 | 574 |
| No. of Students Placed | 331 | 360 |
| Placement Percentage | 64.2% | 62.7% |
| Highest CTC | 8 LPA | 10.4 LPA |
| Average CTC | 3.3 LPA | 3.5 LPA |
| No. of Companies Participated | 92 | 170 |
| IT Companies | 32 | 86 |
| Core (Non-IT) Companies | 60 | 84 |
The official homepage also highlights a “Key Recruiters” section, and approved-secondary student-review snapshots frequently mention companies such as TCS, Infosys, Wipro, EdgeVerve, Mphasis, HP, Tech Mahindra and Betsol. Treat recruiter-name mentions as supporting context, but use the official placement table above as the main benchmark.
Highest CTC: 8 LPA
Average CTC: 3.3 LPA
Placement %: 64.2%
Scholarships & Fee Support
PESITM’s scholarship circular page is stronger than many college pages because it lists multiple government and private scholarship options in one place. Students from Karnataka should especially check category-linked fee reimbursement rules and income thresholds before the academic session begins.
SC / ST / OBC / Minority fee reimbursement
The official scholarship circular lists category-linked reimbursement and post-matric scholarship routes for eligible Karnataka students.
Pragati, Saksham, Swanath and Central Sector routes
These are listed on the college scholarship page and should be checked on the relevant official scholarship portals for exact 2026 conditions.
Defence, differently abled and Brahmin-board support
The scholarship circular also references support routes for defence families, differently abled students and other specific beneficiary groups.
Jindal Foundation, Sujnananidhi and other schemes
Students should verify eligibility, marks criteria and income rules carefully because private schemes can change by year.
Facilities & Student Life
Separate boys’ and girls’ hostels
Official facilities page highlights approximate capacity for 1,300 students, Wi-Fi, mess, wardens, CCTV and power backup.
Industry and professional exposure
The college lists student chapters such as BIS, GeeksforGeeks, IETE, IEEE, IEI and other professional associations.
Indoor + outdoor sports infrastructure
Official sports page highlights indoor games, turf cricket, football, basketball, lawn tennis, 400m track and gym support.
Transport, health centre and food courts
Transport from Shivamogga and Bhadravathi, three food courts, and a health care centre with 24-hour ambulance support are highlighted on the official site.
From a student-life point of view, PESITM looks suitable for students who want a residential engineering-college experience rather than just classroom-only exposure. Student chapters, workshops, technical activities, NSS participation and campus sports together give a more active day-to-day experience than a very small campus would normally offer.
