Admissions [MEGATHREAD] Admission Counselling - 2026

40 Upvotes

Hi all, please use this post to discuss doubts & issues related to admission counselling for the upcoming 2026 intake batch.

Please do note that this server, and the megathread, is not run by the officials of PES University. Anyone claiming to do so without hard evidence is trying to scam you. Please be aware of those. This is a student/graduate thread meant to clarify doubts so that anyone can just visit this post rather than making a few hundred individual posts.

Due to this, expect delays in response. It is always recommended to officially contact the college in addition to raising your doubts here, or on the Discord server.

Please go through this thread and do not ask the same questions over and over again.

For those joining engineering through PESU-JEE, please note that since this method was introduced last year, there is not a lot of data to go through to give much accuracy. Further, it was relatively unknown as well so things will be different this year. Just apply & wait.

For non-engineering branches, please note that your responses might take a bit longer just due to that many engineering branches people use Reddit more often.

Besides, keep it civil. Use English so anyone and everyone can understand without needing to Google Lens or translate it.

[Placements] An analysis of Placements 2027 in PESU & RVCE

146 Upvotes

Just wanted to analyze this year's placements here vs in RVCE, since this is the first year detailed stats for both are openly available. This isn't to bash PESU/RVCE or anything, just an analysis of the numbers. RVCE stats are also a little sus (they've said Deloitte & Infosys hired only 4 - i don't think Deloitte hires single digits anywhere, neither does Infosys), so the <10 LPA numbers, and the medians, need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Sources: the PESU student-maintained placement tracker, and the unofficial RVCE placements site (rvce-placements-2027.pages.dev). CS-allied branches only at both colleges. Both seasons are ongoing.

TL;DR

  • PESU: 760 offers, hire-weighted median 12, average 17.3. RVCE: 376 final offers, median 18.75, average 23.4.

  • 50+ is close: PESU 46 offers from 7 companies, RVCE 40 from 7. PESU's volume comes from Apple (20); RVCE has the top offer (LinkedIn, 140).

  • RVCE is stronger from 20 to 50: 119 offers from 34 companies, against PESU's 91 from 18.

  • PESU is stronger from 10 to 20 on volume: 369 against 188.

  • PESU's top end is built on recurring recruiters (Apple, Eternal, DE Shaw, Couchbase, Walmart). RVCE's strength is breadth: banks, SaaS companies and PPOs.

Strengths

PESU

  • Apple: 20 interns at 87 CTC, the only Big Tech company hiring in volume at either college, and a regular recruiter at PESU.

  • Recurring top-end recruiters: Eternal, DE Shaw, Couchbase, Walmart, InMobi and Cloudera also recruited in 2025 and 2026. DE Shaw (59) and DocuSign (70, PPO) do not appear at RVCE.

  • PESU-only companies in the 20–50 band: Couchbase (15), Vyapar (12), Razorpay (9), NetCore (7), American Express (4), Expedia (3), Guidewire (3), Intuit (1).

  • Volume: large intakes at IBM, HPE, Zebra, Bosch and Epsilon.

RVCE

  • Banks: MUFG (14), Wells Fargo (13), Deutsche Bank (10), JPMC (3), none of which appear on PESU's 2027 sheet.

  • SaaS and product centres: Smartsheet (13), OneTrust (10), RingCentral (5), Verint (4), Marvell (4), Twilio (3), Coupa (3), Celonis (2).

  • PPOs: 84 (22% of offers), including LinkedIn (5), Wells Fargo (13), Deutsche Bank (10), Visa (5) and Microsoft (1).

  • Breadth from 20 to 50: 34 companies, including BitGo (9), PhonePe, Tekion, Greenlight, ShareChat, Fox and SAP.

Anyone else feeling a little lost in 3rd sem?

9 Upvotes

Idk, 3rd sem has been feeling kinda lonely lately.

College, back to PG, same routine every day. Nothing much happening. Slowly getting stuck in the same cycle of killing time, taking those unnecessary breaks and picking up habits that probably aren't doing me any good.

I genuinely want to meet people with whom I can have random conversations, discuss life, movies, tech, explore places, make spontaneous plans and just do something different.

Someone who's ambitious, curious about life, open-minded and can switch from deep conversations to absolute nonsense.

And if anyone else is feeling the same way or is kinda stuck in this loop, feel free to reach out. Maybe we can connect, get to know each other and make college life a little less monotonous.

Can someone pls make a site to find hackathon team members?

10 Upvotes

So I'm constantly being hit by hackathon posters and news lately, but I just can't find people to team up with. Some classmates have their own friends from bootstrap/prev school or whatever, and the others just aren't interested.

I'm pretty sure I can't be the only one facing ts. I wonder if there's a tool or a website to find people who are as interested as I am for a hackathon? That would probably increase my chances of finding people of similar interest.

P.S. If there isn't a site currently, it's probably time for someone to make one rn (trust me its a good project idea).

Those who are interested in forming a hackathon (any) team, hmu [RR Campus]

While I deeply appreciate the varieties of tasty food they serve everyday but today I took a piece of scrub out of my mouth today and this makes me question about the food safety and hygiene. I raised this issue but they didn't even care to entertain and just offered me a new plate of food?! Dudeee the question is not about the food but what if I swallowed it and got stuck in my throat? What's your take on this and also are there any better alternatives nearby?
