UPES - University with a purpose

Overall UPES is a awesome college , the infrastructure is good and academics are tough but if you study u would score good . The placements are a lot better than most colleges . The only problem I think is that we have a uniform.

Course Curriculum of UPES is pretty good as IBM itself helped to design our curriculum. Latest courses are added to our curriculum and that's a good thing for us. In a semester the grading is done on the basis of end SEM and mid SEM exam and the internals.mid SEM and internal add up to 50% .

Placements and job opportunities are awesome , even the average students get placements . Yes our college provides internships . For first year students they have a social internship and for seniors they have industrial internships .

UPES has a lot of events every week there is a new event. We have events related to hacking , photography , designing and sports . Then we have the welcome and farewell parties. The first year students would also have an induction.

Fee structure is feasible . For a whole year it's like 3 lacs + hostel expenses For every semester the fees goes around 1.5 lakh . We have to pay the fees for every semester in advance . For the whole engineering it would around 20 lacs including hostel .

Students scoring good marks in the exams get scholarships . For the students who come from hilly areas and belong to a tribes are given scholarships . The people who have a good gate score also are eligible for scholarships.

We have many extracurricular activities , there are student chapters that u can be a part . We have many sports like cricket , football , volleyball , basketball , badminton etc . UPES organises tournaments of every game. Labs are good in UPES there are computer labs and then we have chemistry and many labs.

The seniors are pretty friendly . There's is no ragging . Senior students are always ready to help you with the academics and they also help u know the place a lot better . You can actually find the college to be a better place .

First I had to give an entrance exam . The entrance exam was not too difficult like JEE Mains , basic but logical questions were asked . After the results my rank came out . Then I had to go attend the counseling where we could select our desired course.

The faculty is good . They have a good knowledge about their respective fields and are always ready to help. We have our doubt clearing classes every week called as tute classes. Students can get seperate doubt clearing sessions also.
