PESUniversity has proposed to open a new medical college at Electronics City in Bengaluru in the next two years. To begin with, a hospital would be opened to support the college.
Addressing the media in the city on Thursday, Dr MRDoreswamy, Chancellor, PES University, said the proposal is ready and would soon be sent to the state government for approval. "Since we need to have a hospital to run a college, we would establish that first. Since Electronics City is a healthcare hub, we have chosen this location," he added.
On the existing campus in Banashankari, the university is planning to set up School of Economics and a School of Law. "We started two new courses --- Bachelor of Architecture and Bachelor of Design programme and have received good response," Dr Doreswamy said. He said the S-Band Pico-Satellite which was indigenously built by 300 students and five faculty members has been tested and certified and fit to be launched. "This is likely to be launched at Sriharikota by ISROby the end of this month," he stated.
The Defence Applications has also sought that the university build a 10 kilo commercial satellite for them, according to Dr KN Balasubramanya Murthy, Vice Chancellor, PES University. "If this one should be successful, we will have 10 others in the pipeline," he added. The first batch of students, since PES has received the university status, would be given their certificates at the convocation on August 13. Degrees would be presented to all 295 students from MBA, MTech (AT), MTech (CSE), MTech (MS), MTech (PE), MTech (SE) and MTech (VLSI).
