Remarks

I am happy with the decision I made about coming in this college. I have no regrets at the end. I am really learning alot and enjoying my college life here. At first, I wasn't really at extra curricular. The Platform provided was really awesome, it completely changed and enhanced me.

Course Curriculum Overview

We have 8 semester based program, where there's almost 25-28 credits each semester. As in theoretical subject there's 30 percent criteria of internal and 20 for midsemester and 50 for end semester. For the lab based subject, their results are based on continuous evaluation and a grand viva. It's generally of 1 credit.

Placement Experience

UPES has collaboration with IBM. College offers decent placement for almost 90 percent and above students. It promises the internship to each and every student. Few companies visit by their own also for internship opportunities regarding some different field of your interest.

College Events

4.5

There are two main events in college. UURJA which is the cultural fest of the college. College spent alot of the money on the fest for the events and activities. Also the decent artists are invited like Parmish Verma, Hardy sandhu and more. Then comes the IGNITE, which is the technical fest.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fee is bit expensive, it's almost 1.7 to 2.2 lakh per semester. Each course cost upto 15-16 lakhs for the completion. Hostel fee is excluded which cost around 1.3 lakh per year for triple sharing room and 1.5 lakh for double sharing room.

Fees and Financial Aid

Scholarship is provided by the college based on your UPESEAT rank and Class 12 marks. Which can be continued based on your performance and GPA in the College. The scholarship is only for the tution fee. College also have tie up with some banks which helps in loan facility.

Campus Life

4.5

College provides lot of opportunities and options if you are interested in extra curricular activities. There are lot clubs and student chapters regarding them. You can join any of them and move forward. Labs, sports and infrastructure is also decent.

Alumni/Alumna

Some of the senior are well settled and placed in very decent companies like Microsoft,Dell and Amazon. There are quite cooperative and provide some realistic guidance. Seniors also help other than studies and providing mental support.

Admission

After completing my Class 12, I have registered for the UPESEAT Exam as a backup after JEE Mains as it's one of the reputable college. I have appeared for the UPESEAT Exam 2017, where I have scored the rank under 4500. Then I have been called for the counseling at Delhi. Where I opted for the branch CSE CCVT.

Faculty

Facilities are quite friendly and cooperative. They understand the students potential and helps accordingly. They are quite open and ready to explain or even work with you even after the college hours.

A Well-Rounded B.Tech Journey with Good Infrastructure, Supportive Faculty, and Growing Career Opportunities

Likes

Faculty members are generally qualified and approachable, and students can seek help with academics and projects.
students should supplement the university curriculum with industry certifications, coding practice, internships, GitHub projects and real-world development work.
There are cultural events, technical activities, clubs, sports and other extracurricular activities. Hostel students can participate fairly actively in campus events.

Dislikes

The main improvement I'd look for would be more advanced, industry-standard laboratory equipment and greater practical exposure.
I couldn't find a reliable current official university figure for the overall girls-to-boys ratio.
The ratio can also differ substantially between CSE, other engineering branches and the university as a whole.

Placement Experience:

Haridwar University provides regular campus-placement opportunities across IT, core engineering and other sectors. The university reports strong overall placement activity, but programme-wise salary and placement data are limited publicly, so students should ask for CSE-specific statistics before admission.

I like the college curriculum and study materials and teaching style of the teachers . Some teachers are impressive and their teaching style is too good .
Campus life is not much engaging but we usually spent our time in studying only . Also for attendance there is not much more criteria but some teachers are very strict in taking the attendance.
Faculties are full of experience and knowledge. They are approachable online and offline too but after the class.

Dislikes

I don't like the placement system in my college because the students studying in 2nd year do not get any exposure of placement . There is placement cell in our college but not very active .
Infrastructure is good but it should be spread in a more big acres . My wish was to get into IIT Kharagpur that's why I am asking for big campus .
Overall curriculum and research based approach of the campus is good. They just give projects to the seniors and seniors work is to dictate us about the project and helps us in building different types of project.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The main aspects that motivates me to choose this college is the GFTI'S colleges . Because my father suggest me that govt. Colleges seeks more companies that's why I choose this college . But truth is totally opposite from the reality. Real world application based projects is just given by the teachers in every semester but we students copy it and give it to them from the gpt. College timing should be more less we have to study from 10 am to 5 p.m. Timings of exams are of 3 hrs only in semester . Difficulty level is moderate.

Graduation- Best time of life.

Likes

The campus of the university is beyond beautiful and homely. Participation in college and university societies paves way for an all rounder development of the students. Facilities like CCF internet facility) is quite commendable.
Good Placements offered also encourage better future prospects. The library of the university is next level. Kisan mela held two times a year feels like another celebration for the university people.
Events held in the university with amazing artists offer exposure as well as a unique way to keep the entertainment alive amongst the youth.e

Dislikes

The hostel rules were rigid especially the entry timings of the girls hostel. The rigidity to take leave by getting it signed by various officials first had been an issue. Although, this was when i was graduating, things might have changed by now.
The stringent hostel rules were quite difficult to cope with. The strict checking at the university gates though might seem good as per the security but seem harsh sometimes.
Teaching methods could be made more progressive and technical with time paving way for more practical knowledge. Infrastructure could also be given a push.

Placement Experience:

In final year of btech companies start coming. Maximum students of CSE and IT get placed. Package is min. 3.2Lacs CTC. Both mass recruiters and startups take part in the placement drive. A good number of students get placed. But maximum students of our college opt for higher studies like appearing for GATE, GRE, CAT exams. Further students indulge in preparation for govt services like UPSC, Defence.
