Outdated curriculam in some aspects in BBA.

Course Curriculum Overview

2.5

The course curriculum seemed a bit dated, especially as the semesters progressed. However, some improvements can be seen with the curricula of the junior batches. Industry relevant talks are held, albeit infrequently. Industrial visits are promised but you never know if or when you will be taken for one. Certain focus areas like finance are taught well and the coursework is certainly relevant in practice. Improvements that can be made are to understand the reality of current job markets and adjust the syllabus to suit that. Concepts which are rooted in century old theory need to be scrapped and a more practical approach must be taken to teach relevant concepts. Exams are not all that difficult and they hold MCQ style internals which are a bit easier to study for than if they were a full fledged written exam. Faculty are reasonably good.

Class Size: 45Course Fees: INR 170000 per year

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees are exorbitant compared to peer colleges and institutions. However there is a scholarship program for academic performance and this recoups a sizeable amount of the fee, should a student attain it. The fees had jumped to over 2LPA in 2022 from 1.7LPA in 2020. The scholarships available for academic excellence are CNR Rao and MRD scholarships. This is a university wide undertaking and the reimbursement depends on the department the student belongs to. There is a big club culture in the university and students are often seen being busy during tests and events. The placements for BBA are quite disappointing with the department not making enough of an effort to ensure that companies with higher packages visit campus.

Campus Life

There is a big annual fest called Aatmatrisha which is a headturner. Usually held in March/ April. There are great student lounges and libraries. Sports is a more elitist setup with only the university teams mainly being allowed to make use of the equipment and fields. The gym is however well maintained and offers a membership to all students at a nominal rate. There are a lot of clubs which cater to a variety of activities and interests across the University.

Admission

The application process consisted of 2 rounds. The written SAT conducted by the university called 'PESSAT' following which there was an interview with a faculty from the department of management. The application is relatively easy to find on the official University website (PES University). The exam I took was held in late February of 2020 just before the pandemic took over the world. The university provided ample time for candidates to complete the PESSAT. The interview was semi formal with an emphasis on trying to understand the candidate's background and thought process.

The facilities provided by the college like auditorium, library, amphitheatre, labs, classroom with smartboards and proper internet connection
The faculty here are really understanding and provide real life examples which makes learning easier and way more fun

Dislikes

Attendance is mandatory in the college which includes having atleast 75% of attendance.
There is a dresscode in college and we have to dress in formal attire only
College is far from house which makes it difficult to reach on time if traffic is there

Placement Experience:

There are 240+ companies that come for placements which include Deloitte, KPMG, Neolntelli, Grant Thornton, etc.. There are few students who even opt for going to further studies instead of getting placed... The highest package offered is 9LPA whereas the average package is around 6LPA.

ISME Review

Likes

The faculty is very friendly and always encourage us to speak up in class and be more confident.
There are a lot of events that take place, most of which are conducted by students themselves.
The hostel is located in the campus itself so it makes going and coming quicker and safer too.

Dislikes

The attendance is very strict about attendance
The classes can feel tiring especially if you aren't habituated to sitting for more than one hour in one place

Placement Experience:

Students are eligible for campus placements in the 3rd year that is during the 5th semester. Many companies such as Deloitte, Infosys, Grant Thornton, EY as well as Goorej are some of the most prominent industries. There is also a one week immersion with IIM Bangalore as well as a 10 day program in Singapore.

The location advantage is something you can't afford to miss, as in Bengaluru you always have loads of opportunities
The campus and its ambience is one of the beast you can locate in the bengaluru proximity. It is safe, sound and enjoyful.

MY JOURNEY AT ST. ALOYSIUS COLLEGE

Likes

Academic Excellence: The College Offers Multiple Range Of Course For The Streams And Programmes the college staff is also very knowledgeable and some members are also so helpful that coordinate with students and help them meet the modern technology
Values and Character Building: St. Aloysius College places significant emphasis on character development, ethics, and social responsibility. The focus on values, social service, and community involvement enhances the overall student experience.
Extracurricular Activities :- The college also organised a variety range of cultural activities and various clubs were formed which organised a variety of events and fest that is also helpful as a part of experience in this stream .

Dislikes

Placement Opportunities:- while the college does not offer a placement support expanding their network with various industries and provide more carrier opportunity should be helpful but the placement is not as we want lack of career counseling.
Modernization :- Continuous improvement in the technology is needed for better learning and also for proper knowledge of the students the labs need to be updated with new technology
Infrastructure and Area :- The Infrastructure needs to be expanded in both the field that is sports and the learning providing suitable area for sports activities and equipment for students is also needed to focus on their activities as well.

Placement Experience:

Talking about The Campus Placement Of St. Aloysius College, the students are eligible to sit in the campus placement after the end of their 5th Semester. The Eligibility requirements that the students need to fulfill for the placement are:- 1. Students need to pass every Semester With no Exam, or we can say ATKT. 2. Students With 7.5 CGPA in their Past Semester Are Only Eligible For Sitting In The Campus Placement. The Highest Package Of My Stream last Year was from The Finance Stram that is Of 3,00,000 Per Annum and the Average Package Is 1,50,000 Per Annum . Every Year, 45% of the students get the placement.

Why you should join PESU - pros and cons.

I applied to KIIT, VIT, DSCE, BMSIT along with the usual IIT and NIT with BITS. I did not clear JEE, nor was able to get somewhat of a good score for CSE in BITS. I wanted to pursue CS, so instead of choosing a course I did not like in BITS, I chose CS in PESU. I chose PESU because the placements outdo the others, while also having a better reputation than the others. For our batch, it was giving the admission test called PESSAT, through which you got a rank, and based on that you could enter the counselling round and choose your course based on your rank. Now it has changed to a JEE based rank system. For students in Karnataka it is still KCET....Read More

Review about PES UNIVERSITY BANGALORE

Except this college I had applied to RV college of engineering which is the goated college of banglore but because of the cutoff in that college I was not able to join that college. I was allocated to BMSIT college in my 1st round of Kcet but the college was the second branch of BMS College so I choose PES . No I didn't get any rejection from other college but the only issue was the cutoff of RV college of engineering i didn't had enough rank to join there . To join into our college there is a common entrance exam conducted by Karnataka government known as KCET .most students prefer this exam as it reduces the fee of your college. And another way to join into our college is JEE mains exam . My overall admission experience was great, as my college had supported us in the process hasslefree ....Read More
