What Students Say

Likes

College life here is great, you will definitely enjoy here.
Infrastructure facilities here are very good, whether its the library or classrooms.
Faculty here are also very supportive they are always ready to help the students.

Dislikes

Fees is very high, which is a major drawback.
Student intake is also very high in the Computer Science and Engineering.

Course Curriculum Overview

As we all know that technology is a booming sector, that's why I opted for BTech Computer Science and Engineering. Students ratio is good here its about 60:40. Faculty here are also very supportive and good, they help the students whenever they face any problem. Their qualifications are also great, they have good teaching experience. Exams here are also held timely and they are not difficult to pass, if you study what is been taught in class you will be able to pass easily and also score good marks.

Class Size: 33Course Fees: INR 500000 per year

Placement Experience

3.5

When students enter 7th semester they become eligible for the campus placements, considering they do not have any back logs. There are various companies that visit the campus such as Microsoft, Amazon, TCS and many more companies. The highest package for 2022-23 was 50 lakhs, 4 students got the offer from Microsoft and the average package was 9 lakh. All the students who were eligible for placement got placed. After getting the degree my plan is to do job for the next 5 years and after that thinking for a masters degree.

Fees and Financial Aid

Fees of the course here is high, they are charging around 2.4 lakhs per semester, so yeah it is high. Cost to study Btech CSE for 4 years is 19 Lakhs exclusive of hostel expense. You can get scholarship here of upto 30% based on your score in entrance exam/12th/JEE. They also give Lifetime placement assistance. Also help you in getting internship and other opportunities.

Campus Life

Talking about the fests, the annual fest of UPES is Uurja which is conducted in Oct-Nov and this is an amazing fest including dance, drama, music, celebrity performance and many exciting things. Spandan is another fest of UPES that is for the students and the faculty which is conducted in the month of Feb-Mar, this is a sports as well as cultural fest. Social life here is great too, you will get to meet with people coming from different corners of the country. Various books and journals are available in the library and you can also download e-books from their online library. So accessibility is not a problem. In classroom there are all the amenities fans, lights, chairs, tables, projector, board everything except AC. There are various clubs which are solely run by the students like the dance, music, theatre, Debate and many other clubs. There are also student chapters which are run by students only.

Admission

Registration process is simple when the application forms are open you just have to fill the form giving your details of 10th,12th & personal details,then you have to pay the application form fee & then you will be given option to give entrance exam or you want to apply with 12th marks/JEE score.You can find the application form & all the other necessary details about fees & dates on the official website. Once it's done you will be notified regarding the entrance exam(if you opted)/regarding your admission that what course you got. Now to confirm your seat you have to pay a particular amount to confirm your seat(it is refundable). Admission process is also simple,after you paid the particular fees for the seat confirmation you'll get the email about login id & password.Now after logging in their portal you have to submit the rest of the fees & your admission is done. When you join the college you have to submit the impirtant documents there by confirming your admission in the college.

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.
