PES University

PES University in Bangalore usually admits students through its own entrance exam (PESSAT) or through high scores in JEE Main. With a 40 percentile in JEE Main, admission through merit quota would be difficult. However, PES also offers admission through management quota, especially if you are willing to bear a higher fee, which could range between rupees six Lacs to ten Lacs per year depending on the branch. You can also attempt PESSAT to improve your chances.

PES University provides the BTech programme to students based on the entrance test method. Students can get admissions to BTech on the basis of entrance exams like KCET, JEE Mains, PESSAT, among others. The course is avaiable in multiple specializations. Students can check the course-specialization-wise details by visiting the official website of the university.

This might be challenging but not impossible. Also, PES University gives more weightage to PESSAT and KCET scores for CSE admissions.
