While attending the counselling for PESSAT 2024, candidates must carry four DDs in favour of the PES University General Fund, payable at the Bangalore campus.

They can, however, participate in PESSAT counselling 2024 to alter/ modify/ change their specialisation if they prefer.

(ii) If an applicant has reserved a seat through the higher fee quota/management quota and then secures a seat through the PESSAT quota, the higher fee quota/management quota seat (whether confirmed or waiting) will be automatically cancelled and the difference in cost between the higher fee quota fee and the PESSAT quota fee will be reimbursed to the student.

The seat distribution will consider the applicant's ranks, available seats, and preferences. Aspirants will need to bring certain essential documents to the designated verification centre.

PESSAT 2024 Counselling Procedure

The PESSAT 2024 counselling process requires candidates to register with both their date of birth and application ID. They have to select their desired programmes in the correct order of preference. Applicants are encouraged to select as many choices as possible to improve their admission chances. Demand drafts must be created after the PESSAT 2024 counselling registration process is done.

Without demand drafts, candidates will not be able to participate in the PESSAT 2024 seat allocation procedure. However, the authorities will not collect demand drafts until the candidate is assigned a seat. If a student decides not to accept the allotted seat or wants to participate in PESSAT counselling 2024 in round two, they can retrieve the submitted demand draft. The pointers listed below highlight the detailed counselling process for PESSAT 2024:

  • Only once PES University has completed its application screening procedure will the PESSAT counselling 2024 be held.

  • The PESSAT 2024 counselling process will be divided into three stages: the first round, document submission, and the final or third round. Those who obtain the PESSAT cutoff 2024 marks and whose names are on the list of applicants for the first round must participate in the PESSAT 2024 counselling process.

  • If a candidate's name appears in the PESSAT first round of counselling results, they must first apply with their obtained marks and other credentials.

  • Notifications on the PESSAT counselling process 2024 will be sent to candidates via the official application portal or the email address they have entered while registering.

  • In the case that a student is unable to attend the PESSAT counselling 2024 session, the seat will be provided to another eligible candidate.

  • It is advised that before their counselling and interview rounds, candidates bring original and photocopied paperwork, or submit their scanned versions online.

PESSAT 2024 Seat Allotment

A crucial step in the PESSAT admission selection process is seat allotment. Admissions decisions will be made depending on the rank obtained by the students. The allocation of seats will take into account various variables, including the students' selections made in the option entry section (from A to D), their exam rank, and the number of seats available. Applicants can choose to accept or forfeit their assigned seat after their seat allotment is completed.

Option A: Selecting this option indicates that the applicant is happy with the seat they have been assigned. The demand drafts and original documents are required to be submitted by students to finish the PESSAT admissions process after choosing this option.

Option B: This option indicates that applicants do not have the original documents but wish to confirm their acceptance. It will be necessary to produce demand drafts and attested copies of the original documents. If the original paperwork is not provided, admission is only for a while and may be withdrawn.

Option C: If the applicants decide for any reason not to accept the assigned seat.

Option D: If students choose to decline the seat that has been assigned to them and take part in the second round of PESSAT counselling 2024.
