Scholarships at P.E.S. College of Engineering, Mandya

State and Central Government Scholarships

Students from Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Class and minority backgrounds who are admitted through the KCET quota can apply for post-matric scholarships offered by the Government of Karnataka's Department of Backward Classes Welfare, Social Welfare Department, and Minority Welfare Department, in addition to central schemes through the National Scholarship Portal. Eligibility depends on category, family income limits and continued academic performance, and applications are typically submitted online each academic year. Students can compare the total cost with and without scholarship support on the fee structure page.

AICTE Scholarship Schemes

As an AICTE-approved institute, PESCE participates in AICTE scholarship and student development schemes, such as the AICTE Pragati and Saksham scholarships for girl and differently-abled students respectively, and periodically announced schemes such as the AICTE Yashasvi Scholarship, based on the institute's own announcements. These schemes provide financial support directly to eligible students and are announced through the institute's notice board and website each year. Students should check current eligibility criteria and application windows with the academic office.

GATE Stipend for M.Tech

Students admitted to the M.Tech programmes at PESCE with a valid GATE score are eligible for the AICTE-prescribed monthly stipend during their postgraduate study, which significantly reduces the net cost of the M.Tech degree. Given the institute's annual M.Tech fee in the moderate range, GATE-qualified students can often study close to free or even net positive when the stipend is taken into account.

• Category and income certificates for state and central scholarships
• KCET or COMEDK rank card and admission receipt
• Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets
• Aadhaar card with a bank account linked for direct benefit transfer
• GATE scorecard for M.Tech stipend eligibility
• Passport size photograph and a valid mobile number and email

To avoid delays, students should register on the relevant scholarship portal as soon as it opens, keep all documents ready before admission, and track the status of applications regularly, since incorrect bank details or missing documents are common reasons for delay. The academic office at PESCE can guide students on which schemes they are eligible for based on their admission quota and category. See the admission process page for the documents required at the time of reporting.

Families evaluating the overall cost of studying at PESCE should account for scholarships, hostel fees and other charges together with the tuition fee. Because the fee differs considerably between the aided/KCET quota and the unaided/COMEDK/management quota, understanding which quota a seat falls under, and which scholarships apply to that quota, is an important part of financial planning. The career outcomes expected from each branch can help families judge the return on this investment.
