UPES conducts the UPESEAT entrance exam annually, assessing Physics, Chemistry, Maths, General Studies, and Logical Reasoning. Top rankers, such as those within ranks 1500-2000, can access sought-after courses like Applied Petroleum Engineering. The exam registration fee is about 2000 INR. Direct admission is available for 15% of seats based on CBSE scores, with a preference for scores above 87%. Alternatives include JEE scores and 12th-grade percentages. Faculty includes experienced professionals, especially in Petroleum Engineering, with many holding Ph.D.s from top institutions.
The annual fee is roughly 160,000 INR with a 5% yearly increase, totaling 14-15 lakhs over four years for B.Tech, excluding hostels. Including hostel fees, costs can reach 24-25 lakhs. Loans and scholarships are available for eligible students, but fees are a concern for many. UPES boasts a placement rate exceeding 90%, with companies like Cognizant, Deloitte, and Amazon recruiting. Median salaries have increased by 15-25%, with maximum packages reaching 33 LPA and averages between 5-6.5 LPA.
Placement preparation includes training and internships. Industry partnerships enhance employment prospects, although securing internships in non-core branches needs improvement. Scholarships are merit-based, with criteria like a 90% score in 12th grade, a GPA of 9 or above, and top departmental rankings. Scholarships also support women and students facing financial hardships. Partnerships with banks aid in securing student loans.
