Hello Arjun, no, you are not required to write the PESSAT test if you have already given KCET and secured a rank. There are three modes of admission in PES: PESSAT, KCET, and higher fees/NRI/Management quota. You can only go through one mode. There's no need to apply under both.

Engineering Eligibility Criteria:-

Students must have 60% aggregate marks in 12th in science stream.

Candidate should be scored in PESSAT or KCET.

Candidate participates through counseling based on PESSAT and KCET rank.

I think you got a good rank in entrance exam and you can get admission in the college you desired.
Hope you would get a seat in that college.
Hope you got the answer you are looking for thank-you.
