What Students Say

Likes

I really like the nature view from the campus.

Dislikes

I dont like the college timetable as i have 6 hours of classes and 3 hours of break in between which kills alot of time.

Course Curriculum Overview

Talking about the curriculum it is totally updated for the current and upcoming requirments for the jobs. Area of improvment would be more practical leraning as on now. We have two exam every semester including fornightly tests and quizes.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 1800000 per year

Placement Experience

From semester 7 students are eligible for campus placement. Companies like samsung, infosys, IBM have offered placements. Talking about my plan i have an idea to start after my degree or maybe experience of a couple of years.

Fees and Financial Aid

My year wise fees is 450000 rs. Managment fees would be around 50000 which has to paid once at the time of admission. You can get scholarship of upto 30-40% according to your jee mains percentile and class 12th marks.

Campus Life

Annual fest is UURJA which is held inthe month of april. Talking about the library UPES has over 100000 books for the students and availability is 9 out of 10. Sports facilities are top notch our campus has a cricket ground , basketball court , volleyball court and a baddminton court also some bords game.

Admission

I did not apply for any other college . Eligibility criteria for UPES is minimun 50% in class 12th boards. Exams accepted are jee mains percentile. Most preferred exam is the entrance exam of college itself, cutoff is above 75% marks.

Faculty

Faculty to student ratio is 1:50 . Faculties are very much approachable at their cabin on weekdays. Also they are phds and some of them are iitians. There are 2 exams one mid sem and one end sem every semester.

Interview Experience

I did not face any interview or any group discussion however there was an entrance exam conducted by the college itself. The cutoff for the entrance exam is 75-80% . Preparing for this exam was not that hard as it coverd class 12th cbse syllabus.

Night Life

College itself has a gym and it has 4 cafeterias offering varities of dishes and snacks till evening. At night time the area near campus wakes upto 12. Hostel timing is 8pm gate closing timeThere are tonns of hangout places in and near campus.

Likes

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.

Remarks:

Some faculty are there to taunt students not to study. They only know how to push down and demoralize anyone. One thing I didnt unferstand why faculty play politics in college rather than teaching students.
