UPES, School of Design Studies Dehradun Faculty

I am design so in design some faculties are really good and has a good sense of design but some are just artist who are pushed into design yeah we shoukd have fine arts faculty but 1-2 is enough there is more quatity of fine arts faculty than design faculty i hope they overcome this. So in design we don't have mid sem instead we have internal marking which is held with exhibition after every module and end sem juries which is good and this is how exactly its supposed to be.. this is in foundation year later in second/ third year we choose our own speciations in which we are marked on the bases of projects given to us by respective faculties and as per first year 2nd and 3rd year also as end semester juries btw juries are only for one day there is 2 internal juries and 1 external jury. Also juries are brutal as it is nor very heavy marking its just of around 30 - 40 marks its just giving of feedbacks but juries sometimes disagree with each other and give pressure to the student who is presenting and also faculties can sometimes be so much and so much biased which just affects the students marks who he/ she doesn't like and this has taken place with me many times

In design the faculty has always been friendly but a few teachers had a personal grudge with me, I am not sure why. I had an amazing bond with Nilav sir, he always helped around before every jury he would call me up and ask me about my preparation. He is gem of a teacher. In design there are no written exams only Juries.

the faculty here is good they have a lot of experience in their work and the faculty-to-student ratio is average its like there are 6 teachers for 6 batches which is good and they also focus on individual students with no partiality. Some of them are very but some of them are strict too I won't take the names but yeah there's one teacher no one likes her coz she's too strict.

The faculty to student ratio is 1 is to 30. The faculties are approachable but the new faculties somewhat lack communication. We have our submissions every 2 weeks and at the end of the semester jury is there .

The faculty to student ration is 1:60. The teachers are very approachable and very knowledgeable. The staff of the college are very accountable and easy to approach. Prasun sir is my favourite teacher in this college

Faculty to student ratio is pretty much dependent on the field that you are choosing for example currently interaction design has a lot of scope, so number of students is higher in those classes but overall its balanced and that faculty that are here are well versed in their fields. They come with a lot of experience from corporates and other institutions as most of them hails from the best of both. We have to interact a lot with the facility considering ours is a non technical field and it requires careful and accurate guidance by the faculty.

The faculties are highly qualified, especially in School of Design. Quite few of them are PHDs and most of them are IITs passouts. The knowledge and teaching skills of the faculty members are quite impressive. Also they are helpful and easily approachable.

we have faculties from the diversified background, some are extensively knowledgable and hold vast experience while some are relatively new. but the, whether the concerned faculties are knowledgeable or not, should be the question you should ask for! in my opinion it depends on the faculty that teaches you I would say 85 % are knowledgeable
