PES University

I don't know much about MBA but hostel is not mandatory. It is difficult to get a hostel in the college as there are less number of rooms available in the hostel. The general class timings are 8.15 AM to 3.30 PM (these timings are for B.Tech and may vary a bit for the MBA course).

It has started and will go up to July end.

Well, this is a difficult question to answer. Previously there were 2 branches CSE and IS but after PESIT became PES University, IS branch was removed and the seats in CSE branch are doubled. I don't think the placements will be affected as now the same students will be chosen by the company but from the CSE branch. Also, this is the last year for the IS branch (presently fourth years).

Depends on what kind of life you want to live. If you are in the boy's hostel class is like 300 m from your room (if you can manage to get the hostel). There are a number of canteens in the campus for better food. Also, the campus is small so you don't have to walk much. Only attendance is a bit cumbersome (75%). There is a big cricket ground where you can play. Overall the life is fun.

Since PESSAT is an online exam so previous year papers are not available. Still, if you want to solve you can search for COMEDK previous year papers or BITSAT previous year paper. The difficulty level is somewhat similar.

PES University is better for its consistent placements and good branding and faculty. Jain University lags behind in rankings. If you're satisfied kindly upvote and follow.
