What Students Say

Likes

Very nice and tidy uniform which we ourselves love wearing.
VLSI lab is the biggest lab in the campus and I am glad I am having access of it.

Dislikes

Very far from the main commuting or railway station and airport of Dehradun.

Course Curriculum Overview

CSE with VLSI gives a lot more opportunity as my area of interest is designing and with CSE I don't only learn that but AI and use of it and also coding too. So, I get to learn it all and that's not all I also get the access to the best tools and labs as we have that at UPES University. Our course is definitely one for the ages.

Class Size: 67Course Fees: INR 500000 per year

Placement Experience

Campus placements begin as early as 3rd year end. Because in the 5th semester our training and all starts. Also, students with intenrships certificates get a better chance and first chance too. Roles and all depends on skills but whoever gets placements get in between 5-10 lakhs. Some brilliant students though have got placements worth 30-40 lakhs too but only a few.

Fees and Financial Aid

UPEas school of Computer Engineering under which CSE program is run is the one that we are enrolled at UPES. It's the most expensive engineering here as the fees is 5 lakhs per year. It has stayed stagnant since 2024 but when i joined in 2022, it was 3.8 lakhs. The hostel fees has also increased from 1.4 lakhs a year in 2022 to 1.8 lakhs in 2026.

Campus Life

UPES hosts a music fest called Virasat and then our annual fest Urja is a concert. Also, many sports students in our university and for them to excel university hosts, an annual sports day named Spandan. Campus has various sports facilities and we have many labs and top classrooms which are tech enabled too.

Hostel Facilities

I have opted for the most expensive room of the hostel where it's a double sharing spacious room with attached washroom. Room category are many and as per the budget student can choose the one they want. Curfew time of the hostel is 9 pm for boys and 8 pm for girls.

Hostel Fee: INR 180000 per year

Admission

Admission in Engineering is through UPESAT and likewise all course have their own entrance apart from normal graduation science, arts, and commerce courses. I didn't get any rejection as UPES was the only university I tried for and luckily I got admission. I did had some backup plans though but I got here and so my plan A clicked.

Faculty

Faculties of UPES are certainly some form of God and Goddess and are very instructive people as they give the instructions and detailing of each time and again. MR Ram Agarwal is our favourite professor as rest all are young and less experienced but he holds a teaching experience of more than 2 decades.

Night Life

Gucchapani Robbers Cave for trekking is the best hangout places according to me near UPES. We also have a Hidden Paradise which is again a trekking spot. For food Anna Cafe and Maggie Point are two affordable places.

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.
