UPES, MBA Power Management

Reviewed on Jan 28, 2016

Entrance Preview

I took XAT and UPES Exam XAT got 65%. Since i was working in power sector, i was interested in MBA in Power Management. This college is one of the most reputed college for this subject.

Course Curriculum Overview

It was perfect. There were more subjects each semester - around 10 subject each semester. It included general subject of MBA and additional technical subject to cover aspects of Power Management.

Internships Opportunities

I did internship in Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory commission. Since it is good to do internship in regulatory commission for power management students, there was no stipend. Where as in some private companies stipend of up to 15000 was offered.

Placement Experience

Placement is always 100% in MBA power management. But average package is very low. Even package of 4.5 was offered, which is not good. Highest package is 10.5.

College Events

2.5

College is located in good location. And events like Ignite and Urja are very famous. URJA goes on for 3 days, where DJ and Band are done. Also ICMI technical event is good, where papers are been presented by students and faculties.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Fees is in mid range. It is 800000 for 2 years. It is feasible. But in terms of return on investment, it is a bit low.each semester 200000 is the fees. and there are no additional fees been taken.

Fees and Financial Aid

Loan faciltiy is provided by college. Yes bank is been associated for it. Scholarship for toppers is awarded. 200000 is the scholarship. And for dehradun students fees is less.

Campus Life

2.5

Campus is among one of the best campus in India. Good football ground and basket ball ground is available. Also they encourage students to participate in various technical events. Entrepreneurship programs.

Alumni/Alumna

Good networking is there. But it is not maintained by college but by faculties and students on their personal benefits. There is no proper alumini network. But network among seniors is done by facebook.

Exam Structure

There are 2 exams in each semester. Mid sem and End sem. 20% of mid sem is taken for final marks. 50 % of end sem is taken for final marks. and remaining 30% is internal marks given by faculty for assignment and class presentations.

Faculty

HOD of power management is very helpful and experienced. There were few faculties who were very good, like finance and strategy subjects. All others teachers were on average range.

Campus life

Placement Experience:

For masters student student from 3rd semester are eligible for the campus placement. For bachelor students from 6-7 semester students are eligible for the campus placement. Federal bank, taj hotel, Techmutant software solutions, cradlewise, patanjali, etc. many more companies are there which visit the campus. There is 60-70% criteria for students to get the placement as 60% are the eligibility criteria for many companies and some companies have 70% eligibility criteria for the placement. Our university has 85% placement in dehradun region as compared to other universities. My plans are taking a good job and work hard to become independent.

UPES MBA REVIEW (pov: a new student so no biases)

Placement Experience:

The placement rate is around 90%. Students become eligible for campus placements from the start of 3rd semester, although you can get in earlier through summer internship and ppos. Overall average package is around 8 lakh. Top 15% students get 14-17 lakh. Highest package for this year was 33 lakh. Many top companies like Amazon, Adani, EY, PwC, KPMG, Accenture, Adobe, Microsoft, Infosys, BlueDart, Dell, Deloitte, Genpact and more come to the campus. I aim on getting into big 4 consulting firms.

I gave one and only one entrance and that is UPESAT. Now the entrance was tough the only good thing was that competition wasnt that tight.

UPES CSE Program provide the best insights!

No safety nets for getting admission in UPES as university is strict in taking students. UPES Engineering Admission Test also known as UPESAT has to be cleared. If not then in top 20k JEE ranks your name has to be there regardless. So those are the only ways to get admission especially in CSE at the UPES University....Read More

UPESAT is for engineering and likewise most courses here are through a test procedure. I was rejected by definitely the dream colleges like the IITS, BITS and NITs too. Manipal is where I had admission but it was too far and so I chose UPES as it's atleast a night drive from my home....Read More

Admission are through an entrance for engineering which is called UPESAT. The best thing is the paper can be given anytime as it's online and if students want they can directly come to the university and then give that exam. So, it's a good thing that we are doing a proper assessment before getting in here....Read More
