UPES Guide

I had a good interest in business and finance so I decided to go for this course. The faculty-student ratio is quite good. The faculty is always ready to help you and the class size does not exceed 65 in most cases. The teaching faculty is well educated almost every one of them has Ph.D. degrees in their respective fields and are very polite and helpful. The university follows the basic 2-semester rule system in which we have one mid-semester exam and then an end-semester exam. Mid-sem has a weightage of 20% and end-sem has a weightage of 70% rest weightage is for internal assessment.

Still in 1st year so I have not got a paid internship but the social internship was quite nice got to do something for society and help the needy ones. For paid internships, companies visit the campus in the 4th semester and if you have good skills then you can expect an internship of 50K per month. Also if you want to do an off-campus internship then that can also be done.

Social internships are offered in the 2nd semester these are unpaid ones. Paid internships are offered in the 4th semester these are paid ones according to the potential of the student. Placements are done in the 5th and 6th semesters. The placement percentage is more than 90% and 30+ companies visit the campus for placement talking just about management courses. KPMG has partnered with the university so this makes a good opportunity for the students.

Fees is the area which I will take as a con because for students coming out of Uttarakhand for them, the fees are quite high for BBA 3 lakhs per year is the fees also hostel fees are around 2 lakhs per annum so now you can imagine that after 3 years you will be spending a sum of at least 20 lakhs so that should be considered. Talking about the scholarships the University offers quite good scholarships like you can appear for an entrance test before admission and that scholarship can be continued till the end if you perform well. Also, people from low-income groups receive certain benefits. Loans and financial assistance are provided with much ease University has partnered with such firms who finance your whole course.

UURJA is the main fest held once a year a very great fest along with this various fests and parties on different festivals also take place overall University life is nice if you make good friends. The classrooms are nice and spacious. University has a team for each sport and makes sure to participate in major events. Many clubs are running to make the life of students more fun and teach them about leadership and management of tasks.

Any person residing in Uttarakhand with a domicile can avail discount on the fees. Also, there is an entrance test based on which you get scholarships for the 1st semester and which can be continued if you perform up to the mark. The admission process was quite easy and fast.
