You also need a valid JEE Main or KCET score. Most importantly, candidates must register separately at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.pes.edu\/Academy\/admReg\/basicInfo\/B.Tech\/1\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/admissions.pes.edu\/Academy\/admReg\/basicInfo\/B.Tech\/1\">admissions.pes.<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/admissions.pes.edu\/Academy\/admReg\/basicInfo\/B.Tech\/1\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/admissions.pes.edu\/Academy\/admReg\/basicInfo\/B.Tech\/1\"><strong>edu<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>for<\/span> the PESU Merit Quota (45% seats).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2: Was PESSAT easier than JEE Main?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, PESSAT was generally considered moderate compared to JEE Main. However, since PESSAT is discontinued for B.Tech admissions from 2025 onwards, this comparison is no longer relevant for engineering aspirants. All B.Tech candidates now compete on JEE Main or KCET scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3: Can I appear for both JEE Main and KCET?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can appear for both exams. At PES University, you can submit whichever score is stronger. If you took JEE Main twice, your best attempt will be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4: What&#8217;s the difference between Ring Road and Electronic City campuses?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both are excellent campuses. Ring Road Campus has a slightly higher average placement package (\u20b912.47 LPA) compared to Electronic City Campus (\u20b911 LPA). Ring Road is also older and more established. Both offer similar academic quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q6: Is the \u20b91,200 application fee refundable?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, the application fee of \u20b91,200 <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">is<strong>&nbsp;non-refundable<\/strong><\/span>.
