Who teaches
Mr. P. Sreedhar BabuHead, Integrated Programme
He heads the Integrated Programme and teaches physics. Meet him and the Science teachers on a campus visit.
“The teaching quality is strong, and most teachers explain concepts clearly and actually care whether we understand or not.”
Entrance and beyond
Where PCMC leads.
JEE and KCET preparation can sit inside the same timetable as the board syllabus. That is the Integrated programme, led by Mr. P. Sreedhar Babu. The college describes its JEE method as in-house faculty, NTA-synced preparation, study hours led by senior lecturers and regular testing with error evaluation.
What PCMC leads to
- KCET
- For engineering seats in Karnataka, including government-quota seats.
- JEE Main and JEE Advanced
- For NITs, IIITs and other national engineering institutes, and for the IITs through JEE Advanced.
- BITSAT
- For the BITS Pilani campuses at Pilani, Goa and Hyderabad. Sumith S Solankar of our 2024–26 PCMC batch is now at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus.
- B.Sc. and BCA in computing
- Degree courses in computer science and applications, with Maths and Computer Science already studied.
What we have published
- 6 of the 10 Science toppers the college listed for 2025-26 took PCMC.
- 20 of our students qualified to write JEE Advanced in 2026.
- Sumith S Solankar, PCMC, scored 591/600 and was 9th in Karnataka in II PUC 2026.

Fees
Fees and scholarships.
Fees depend on the combination and on whether entrance coaching is included. For the 2027-28 fees for your child's combination, please speak to the admissions counsellor.
- Scholarships
- Merit, Sports, Early bird
- Fee concessions
- OBC, SC, ST, Single-parent families, Others
Choosing
Who PCMC is not for.
Two cases where another choice fits better.
- A child who wants Biology or NEET.
NEET needs Biology, which PCMC does not have. PCMB is the combination for that.
- A child who would rather not learn programming.
Computer Science has programming theory and lab practicals. PCMB has Biology instead.
Questions
PCMC questions, answered.
What is PCMC?
PCMC is the Science combination of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Computer Science, taught over 1st PUC and 2nd PUC, with the II PU board exam set by KSEAB. Students also study English and one more language.
What can I do after PCMC?
PCMC is built for engineering. Students write KCET and JEE Main, and some write JEE Advanced or BITSAT. Degree courses in computer science and applications are also open.
Can a PCMC student write NEET?
No. The National Testing Agency's NEET UG bulletin asks for Physics, Chemistry and Biology or Biotechnology, and PCMC has no Biology. Choose PCMB if medicine is a possibility.
Is JEE coaching part of the PCMC timetable?
Yes, in the Integrated programme, which puts JEE or CET preparation into the same timetable as the board syllabus. For 2027-28 the Science tracks are JEE, NEET, NEET + CET and CET. Admissions will help you choose.
Is Presidency PU College Hebbal good for JEE?
JEE Main and Advanced preparation runs inside PCMC in the Integrated programme. In 2026, 20 of our students qualified to write JEE Advanced, and our highest JEE Main percentile was 98.38. Meet the JEE team on a visit.
