UPES, MBA Power Management

Reviewed on Jan 28, 2016

Entrance Preview

I took XAT and UPES Exam XAT got 65%. Since i was working in power sector, i was interested in MBA in Power Management. This college is one of the most reputed college for this subject.

Course Curriculum Overview

It was perfect. There were more subjects each semester - around 10 subject each semester. It included general subject of MBA and additional technical subject to cover aspects of Power Management.

Internships Opportunities

I did internship in Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory commission. Since it is good to do internship in regulatory commission for power management students, there was no stipend. Where as in some private companies stipend of up to 15000 was offered.

Placement Experience

Placement is always 100% in MBA power management. But average package is very low. Even package of 4.5 was offered, which is not good. Highest package is 10.5.

College Events

2.5

College is located in good location. And events like Ignite and Urja are very famous. URJA goes on for 3 days, where DJ and Band are done. Also ICMI technical event is good, where papers are been presented by students and faculties.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fees is in mid range. It is 800000 for 2 years. It is feasible. But in terms of return on investment, it is a bit low.each semester 200000 is the fees. and there are no additional fees been taken.

Fees and Financial Aid

Loan faciltiy is provided by college. Yes bank is been associated for it. Scholarship for toppers is awarded. 200000 is the scholarship. And for dehradun students fees is less.

Campus Life

2.5

Campus is among one of the best campus in India. Good football ground and basket ball ground is available. Also they encourage students to participate in various technical events. Entrepreneurship programs.

Alumni/Alumna

Good networking is there. But it is not maintained by college but by faculties and students on their personal benefits. There is no proper alumini network. But network among seniors is done by facebook.

Exam Structure

There are 2 exams in each semester. Mid sem and End sem. 20% of mid sem is taken for final marks. 50 % of end sem is taken for final marks. and remaining 30% is internal marks given by faculty for assignment and class presentations.

Faculty

HOD of power management is very helpful and experienced. There were few faculties who were very good, like finance and strategy subjects. All others teachers were on average range.

BEST NAAC A++ COLLEGE IN UTTARAKHAND

Likes

The campus has decent infrastructure, a library, labs and a supportive learning environment.
Faculty members are helpful, and campus life provides opportunities for social interaction and personal growth.

Dislikes

Placements and internship opportunities could be improved, especially for MBA students.

Placement Experience:

At RIT Roorkee, MBA students generally become eligible for placements in the final year. Companies may offer roles in marketing, finance, HR and sales placement opportunities and salary packages depend on the company and student's skills. The highest package, average package and placement percentage vary each year students should improve their communication skills, practical knowledge and internship experience to get better opportunities. After completing my MBA, I plan to join a good company and build my career in management.

I like the canteen very much. As me and my friends used to sit there and have fun.
Faculties were very supportive. They are very helpful.
I like the hostel common room as i have a very good memories

Dislikes

Sometimes i didn't like the mess food. but it was not that bad
Hostel restrictions , you cannot go out , you have to take the permission from multiple people
Class schedule is very busy. There are so many training

Course Curriculum Overview:

To be honest they focus more on pratical rather then theoritical. W went for many industrial visit, like cocola, iits, parleg and many other 1st half classes are for theoretical and 2nd half for training. I think they should make the schedule little lighter but yes they prepare us for the real world challanges that is for sure/

I came to RIT Roorkee from Bihar for my MBA and I want to write this review specifically for students from Bihar and UP

Likes

The campus environment is good and you get students from different places, so you get a chance to interact with people outside your home state.
Faculty support can be good, especially when you are regular with your studies and approach them when you need help.
For parents from Bihar, having accommodation within/around the campus can make the transition easier.

Dislikes

Hostel and college rules can feel strict for students who want a lot of freedom.
You will need to put in your own effort for coding, communication skills, internships and other career preparation. The college alone cannot guarantee a good career.
The environment is fairly structured, which can be helpful if you want to stay focused on your studies.

Placement Experience:

The placement opportunities at Roorkee Institute of Technology are quite diverse, with a dedicated Training and Placement Cell that supports students through resume building, mock interviews, career guidance and recruitment drives. According to the institute’s current placement information, the 2026 batch has recorded placements across different sectors, with an average package of around ₹8 LPA and the highest package of ₹22 LPA. The institute also lists recruiters such as Cognizant, Finastra, Sopra Steria, KPMG, EY and Voltas.

Holistic Review of MBA at IIM Kashipur

Likes

It's a student run campus which means that important decisions regarding students are taken by the student bodies.
The campus is beautiful and lush. The architecture of buildings are well though of made to keep buildings cool during summers and hot during winters.
The campus is very happening. Several cultural events occur.

Dislikes

As the town Kashipur is not very developed, there is not much of metro-city life or such amenities
The boys to girls ratio for core program is 4:1 and the opposite for the analytics program which makes the class interactions disproportionate, It should be uniform.
You can't order food from online platforms here as the city is remote so one has to resort to the options present on campus which turns out to be pretty limited in number and quality.

Placement Experience:

As soon as the second year starts, companies start coming for placements. These include ICICI bank, Wellsfargo, Genpact, Amazon, TresVista, Havells, TVS, Tech Mahindra etc. The highest package goes around to be 40-50 Lacs while average is around 14-15 Lacs. Almost all get placed while the rest opt-out from the process either for off-campus offers or pursuing higher education.
