PES is now a university. It was not when I worked there. Affiliated to a university, VTU, it was a typical management department, with zero autonomy. We tried getting autonomy from VTU, but for some reason, did not get it. However, in our mind we functioned as if we were.
Lots of bright students made it easier. Also a faculty team that went beyond their mandate, and got into research, MDP (training), and industry outreach through seminars and the like. I have met some of the bright students since then, online and off, and it's a pleasure to see them doing well. A pic of some from those times that I found online.
Another pic or two from a brochure I found after 15 years.. Prof. Venugopal Naidu is with us in the second.
A second campus was coming up near the Hosur highway, electronic city at the time. It is now a full-fledged campus. We also collaborated with IUP, USA to do an innovative MBA program that found takers in Bangalore.
