UPES, School of Design Studies Dehradun Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

In 3 rd year students geet internship upes tries to bring paid internships which are beneficial and from 6th semester students are eligible for placements but there was an external case last or a year before were a students was hired from 2 nd year by adidas for like 50 lakhs per annum which is very good package in design according to me and i think 70 percent students gets the placements they can improve very much in design

The course is creative and being a creative person myself, I wanted to dive in this field. Plus design in the modern world is a much required job in every aspect. The only negative point i felt, unlike other courses the assignments here were tough and compulsory.

The placements here are average I'll tell u the truth there nothing to lie about UPES is a private university so u cannot expect a too high amount of package unless you're the lucky one Here the average package varies from 8 LPA to 12 LPA which is ok And if i dont get the placement here there's nothing to worry about I'll try different methods to find a job or I'll just start a startup with my father

Campus placement is okay. As a design student you have to find placements on your own. Big companies like tata,Infosys,bina etch .come.My plan is to either study further or take a job as to gain experience.

I have choosen this course because I want to peruse designing. UPES provides student internships to prepare them of real-world. This college also organises seminar,workshop and competitions regarding my course

The freedom to be as creative as I can be is the one thing that attracted me to pursue this course while learning I realize that the course itself will provide you with the outline of what is needed and going on in the industry but it's completely up to the student how well he or she wants to prepare themselves for the industry. But I think our course could include the latest developments in the industry highlighting the challenges and opportunities in the current era. We dont have exams in design, we have juries and exhibitions where we have to present our works and get hands-on review

Being a Private College, placement are offered but the package is not up to the mark. The fees is preety high but the placements are not. Also placement is not 100% especially for School of Design. Hence most of the students don't go for on campus placements.

From the second semester of the third year, a student becomes eligible for campus placements. There are many companies that have a tie-up with upes and new companies also join in so it is hard to keep a track of all of them. Our college also offers student exchange programs. There were many offers and excellent if i mention correctly. The average package was for 2.5L and the maximum package was 10L. A student should have a minimum of 80% in jury and 70% in attendance. I plan to work in a company for atleast two years to gather some experience in the industry and then go for a master's.
