Remarks

Positive: Situated in the best area of Dehradun, Weather, Infrastructure, Faculty, Placement, Collaborations are best in North-West. Do not hesitate to join UPES, Best Private Engineering College for all.

Course Curriculum Overview

Totally based upon Comprehensive Evaluation in most of the subjects, Mid Semester and End Semester are there weight age 20% and 50% respectively, rest 30% is internals that is the main focus area to score good marks in overall semesters.

Placement Experience

4.5

Job opportunities are always lined up in the college from the start of the month we joined in 4th year. 1. Postman - 30k - Internship 2. ZS Associates - 25k - Internship 3. Cognizant - 12k - Internship 4. Dell R&D - 20k - Internship 5. GoldStone Technologies - 10k Internship

College Events

4.5

Urjaa - Cultural Event - Every Year Ignite - Technical Event - Every Year UPES Hackathon - Every Year Everyone can participate in the events and even many more events have been organized by the student's chapter in the college

Fee Structure And Facilities

Quite Expensive as it is Private Engineering College Owned by Laureate International Universities and this provides foreign exposure to our Engineering Programme. Infrastructure is best and even the facilities are better than all colleges.

Fees and Financial Aid

if you are the topper of your batch and scored above 9 CGPA then you got scholarship upto 20 if you coming through the merit then you have to maintain your record as the topper and then you definitely got the scholarship

Campus Life

Cultural Event take place every year (Inter-college and Intra-College) Labs are well equipped with the equipment on every Wednesday college organize an activity in which volunteer can take place and enjoy the activity

Alumni/Alumna

Every year UPES had a Get-together of alumni in Metro city and Meetups so that people gather so alumni meet with the college officials again and help rest of the coming graduates to got selected in some good company

Admission

I got admission through UPES entrance exam usually happen in last of April. i scored under 3k rank in that exam and got the top most branch in computer science, there is a counseling in some auditorium in Delhi where no. of seats are displaying on the projector you have to choose your stream + branch + specialization.

Faculty

3.5

Faculty are well knowledgeable and many of them are Phd, and faculty from alumni of IITs and Nits so there is no need to worry about the faculty, as you are coming to the Engineering college there is always good guider rather than teacher.

The elected candidates take you out for trips for FREE OF COST ! And they do small programs quite often so u keep getting entertained though it's all done for the votes but you can still visit their small events for fun !
Even if you are a student husteling for side by jobs or preparing for any exam you can look forward to this college , no worries for 75% attendence
it's super affordable, completed my entire bcom for ₹5,000

Dislikes

Poor infrastructure and dirty environment, it's a very old government college they have not improved it's infrastructure it is it used be years ago though the library is very clean and well build looks entirely different from the college .
I find the quality of education is quite weak here maybe because I have not attended many lectures but it's my personal opinion

Course Curriculum Overview:

I wanted a degree so I can easily side by prepare for some other stuff as well . There's no attendance pressure but just submit your assignment and time n appear for exam which is the bare minimum . It was convenient for me
