PESU B.Sc Hons FAQs

Ques. Can a PESU B.Sc Hons graduate in allied health apply for MBBS later?

Ans. B.Sc Hons (paramedical) is a separate undergraduate track and does not make graduates eligible for direct MBBS admission. NEET eligibility requires 10+2 PCB as the qualifying degree. Students should review NMC and NEET guidelines specific to their situation before planning further.

Ques. Is there a minimum PESSAT score to get into B.Sc Hons at PESU?

Ans. PESU does not publish a fixed PESSAT cutoff for B.Sc Hons. Admission depends on PESSAT rank, specialisation preference, and seat availability in that cycle. After results, counselling details are shared through pes.edu/admissions.

Ques. Which B.Sc Hons specialisations at PESU have the lowest total fee?

Ans. Three specialisations share the lowest total fee of INR 3,70,000 for the complete 3-year programme: Dialysis Therapy Technology, Medical Laboratory Sciences, and Medical Technology. The highest fee of INR 8,90,000 applies to the 4-year Economics programme.

Ques. Does PESU provide clinical training to B.Sc Hons allied health students?

Ans. Yes. Allied health specialisations at PESU include supervised clinical rotations at PESIMSR (PES Institute of Medical Sciences and Research) and affiliated multi-specialty hospitals in Bangalore, integrated into the curriculum across the full 3-year programme duration.

Ques. Can students from outside Karnataka avail the PESU Merit Scholarship?

Ans. The PESU Merit Scholarship is based on rank in PESSAT, KCET, or JEE Main and is not restricted to Karnataka students. The Karnataka Post-Matric Scholarship, however, is for Karnataka SC/ST domicile students only. Out-of-state students may apply for the Central Sector Scholarship if income and merit criteria are met.
