PES Group — Brand and Alumni Network
PES University Bangalore (formerly PESIT) is one of Karnataka's highest-ranked private engineering universities with strong placement records and a well-connected alumni network in Bangalore's IT sector. PESITM Shivamogga benefits from the PES brand name and access to group-level placement coordination. For students from Shivamogga, Sagar, Tirthahalli and surrounding Malnad taluks, PESITM offers PES-quality education locally at lower living costs than relocating to Bangalore.
Shivamogga — Gateway to Malnad and Power
Shivamogga is the headquarters of the Malnad region — Karnataka's lush, rain-rich Western Ghats belt. KPCL's Sharavathi hydroelectric project complex near Jog Falls is in Shivamogga district, making EEE engineering directly relevant to local industry. The new Shivamogga airport and expanding NH-169 corridor to Davangere are transforming Shivamogga's connectivity. PESITM EEE graduates target KPCL hydroelectric operations; Mechanical graduates access paper mill machinery and agro-processing equipment in the Malnad region.
