Achal Garg's Review On UPES, Dehradun

I have passed UPESEAT exam provided for admissions in B.Tech. Programs of UPES. I got a good rank of 1200 in this exam and got many choices of branch during first counselling. If someone gets rank below 500, he or she can get petroleum engineering and other great branches of their choice in counselling. My first choice was of petroleum engineering, but I got Civil engineering which was my second choice.

With its innovative approach, good infrastructure and well qualified faculty, the University is having good rank in the list of leading colleges of India. The course curriculum is great as the courses are so unique that one can not find most of these courses anywhere else. The faculty is experienced and very friendly to the students.

My internship experience was excellent. I got internship in a top class company of France, in its Mumbai based office. This experience of 2 months was so great. I could learn many things from there. The University helped a lot in providing internship and getting there, maintaining a good relation with the managers in the company.

Well friend, UPES placements of all the B.Tech programs has been good so far.I must say you have made a very wise choice as UPES is one of the best universities of India for the study of core programs. More than 10 companies came to campus for placements in our course and 85% students out of 58 qualified for placements got placed in civil engineering course.

UURJA is the annual cultural youth festival of UPES and as the name suggests, the event is full of vigor and energy of students, faculty, participating individuals from various universities and colleges across India and sponsors from various local and national level organizations. It is an interactive ground for dynamic youth from various universities and colleges from the country.

No, I could not avail any scholarship at the time of admission to UPES or during my course. But one can avail good scholarship based on merit basis or on the basis of financial conditions during the course-work or at the time of admission.
