UPES, MBA IN PORT AND SHIPPING MANAGEMENT

Reviewed on Sep 12, 2015

Remarks

College has very good campus also has done very good marketing to get students at the time of admission but not providing placement as student deserve for it. College just make aver attractive name of variety of branch in MBA and engineering but no such requirement in real industry. It means college just play with career of students.

Entrance Preview

I had given MAT and got 76% in entrance exam to get admission for MBA. I choose my course as MBA in port and shipping management because shipping is very adventures industry, evergreen industry to develop career, as college authority explain us at the time of GD and PI. Also says shipping industry has great career growth for Mechanical engineer and as i have BE mechanical background, I had chosen this branch.

Course Curriculum Overview

Course curriculum is very impressive at the time reading on manual but at the same time when we comes towards faculty, college doesn't have any permanent core faculty to teach core shipping knowledge and operation. Some guest faculty like capt. Bhutaliya and Capt bhattacharya are nice with great knowledge of industry.

Internships Opportunities

All students get internship in different type of services in shipping like in operation, manning, freight forwarding, etc.I have got chance in shipping corporation of India, Mumbai.I have got stipend of Rs 5000 per month. HR head allot liner technical department GM as my guide who never has time to spoke with me.so he allotted his duty to one account of his department who help lot but don''t have much knowledge of shipping as he is master in account only. They had given one project study to me like that why India is lag behind china in shipping industry. Other companies like V ships, Om freight forwarder, M.Sc shipping, Mundra port, Mumbai port are given opportunity for internship.

Placement Experience

0.5

Placement facility is worse as no any core placement officer in college who has good contacts with shipping industry, only 50% students placed at the end of academic session but help to recruit other 50% also after ending of academic session. Also highest packeged provide d by NYK shipping is 3 lacs per annum after MBA. Instead of NYKall other companies has given package of 1.5 lacs to 2.4 lacs which is very less compare hard work of students.

College Events

2.5

College festivals are nice and arrange very properly with perfect management. Almost all branch, all class students participate in festivals. Festivals like fresher party, rainy season tracking, winter festival, convocation and all.

Fees and Financial Aid

Yes college provide scholarship for uttarakhand students only which as under uttarakhand government.

Campus Life

4.5

Campus life is superb, as no based in gender, gender ration is almost 50-50, also competitions conducted also nice and conducted regularaly.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

College Hostels are nice but as it has very less no of room, college provide us private hostel which has taken Rs.62000 for year from us for lodging and fooding which is much higher as the facility provided. Mess food was sometimes good but sometimes very bad.

External Expense: Rs. 4000 - Rs. 7000

Alumni/Alumna

There are no such proper network.

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.

really like the well maintained infrastructure and classes
the practical exposure that is being provided to students
redressal cells that caters to the needs and wants of the students

Dislikes

the dress code is followed strictly throughout the week
early classes makes it difficult to attend sometimes

Placement Experience:

third semester students are eligible to sit for placements. a lot of companies have visited the campus like HCL, tech mahindra, ICICI bank, infosys etc. the highest package went up to 40 LPA in the digital marketing role whereas avg package was 8.7 LPA . around 95% students were placed on campus. I personally want to pursue PHD side by side after completing my mba from here.

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.

Distance Learning Arm of UPES

Admission:

I applied for the college by filling in the detailed application form on the official website. I give the CAT exam but since I didn't got good score and I also had to continue my job I opted for a postgraduate diploma program from this university. UPES is a popular University in Uttarakhand and its distance learning arm offers variety of options in the diploma programme. After approval of my application I was asked to complete the admission formalities post which I got the admission in the program.
