Real Fees and Placement Figures
PES University's MBA total fees run approximately ₹14-15.1 lakh for the 2-year programme (PGCET-route students pay substantially less, around ₹2-4 lakh). Reported placement figures vary considerably by source and year — some report average packages around ₹5.5-9 LPA, others cite figures closer to ₹7.65 LPA, with a genuinely wide highest-package range (₹13-65 LPA) reflecting a small number of high-value outlier offers pulling the top figure up. PESIT (the university's engineering-college predecessor) was established in 1988, matching this listing's founding year; university status came later, in 2013.
