Paramveer Singh Hadd's Review On UPES, Dehradun

College management is very strong in terms of administration with many army retired and ex-civil service guys in the team. Management had few issues with students but they were resolved aftet discussion between management and students placemnet committee is also very aggresive in their role.

This university had its own entrance exam, after which they had interview rounds and candidates were shortlisted.I had opted for this course because it was different from conventional engineering streams also automotive industry is in boom now a days.

Curriculum was very vast covering all areas related to automobiles modeling softwares like CATIA, solid works, Auto cadd were also part of our course. Major projects were also very industry specific.

My college internship was in Eicher motors Alwar, Engine development department there i had learnt basic engine testing techniques. I was given project to determine effect of swirl on combustion.

Placement for our seniors and us was 100% in all automobile indian majors. I was placed in BAJAJ AUTO LIMITED as a field service engineer after 3 years i was promoted to assistant manager now i am working with Toyota kirloskar motors.

Every year 1 technical and 1 cultural fest is organised in college with participation from major institutes our college also paticipated in major tech fests organised by other renowned colleges.

Fee structure was a bit expensive around 20% higher then other private colleges but with 100% placement figures and good faculty that would not bother anyone we paid semester fee of 60000.

I cannot comment as till our time no such scholarship was there but got to know that scholarship was started after we passed out on 12th class board marks.

Campus life was awesome as campus is located in foot hills of mussorie as number of students during my tenure were very less we had very good bond with our seniors and juniors. Gender ratio was around 70-30. Students were from almost each and every corner of country hostel parties were not allowed in campus hostel, so students had to come out to party.

At our time hostel seats were very few and i had to take private hostel outside campus there was a list of college recommendes hostels quality of private hostel facilty and food was so from second year onwards we had taken a rented house which was better then a hostel also these hostels take paymenta of entire year in advance so u dont have option to go out anywhere.

Alumni network is very strong and every year many alumni meets are conducted major alumni meet is conducted in campus we are always upadated about events being conducted in campus.

We had a 6 month semester system in mid of every semester mid -semester exams were conducted which had weightage in final scores exams were conducted back to back which i believe was very hectic.

Faculty was well experinced and taken from industry gaints (eg.Mahindra, Mitsubushi) and taken from esteemed institutions like IIT'S. They were always encouraging students.
