Choose your college wisely!

In 2021 just after COVID-19, times were sensitive and my priority was not to take a gap year. I already had an interest in AI so I wanted to do it from my bachelor's too. At the time there weren't many colleges offering this specialization in B.Tech CSE, hence I applied here. Also, I liked the idea of living in Dehradun. They had a good track record in terms of placements, this is an old university and trustworthy. The admission process was also easy, I got in through their entrance exam. I was initially looking for liberal colleges in India as I wanted that type of education for myself. The best option was Ashoka but they only offered B.Sc courses. They didn't have what I wanted. I did apply there. My application didn't get accepted though. The other university I considered was Atria as they had B.Tech and AI-specific course. Their course structure and syllabus seemed ever interesting to me and experimental. But I would have been the first batch studying there, I didn't want to take the risk of this uncertainty, especially with my career. But I did apply there, the admission process was very fun also. The process was a group activity, with individual activity followed by a personal interview. I got through it and was also offered a 40% scholarship in total based on merit and financial aid. But the university was still too expensive and risky for me. Also, Bangalore is too expensive to live in on top of it. Overall studying there wouldn't have been a good decision for me hence I chose UPES over it. Getting admission to UPES is not difficult at all they accept everyone who is willing to pay. They take admission based on JEE marks, 12th marks. I don't think they offer a lot of scholarships now. You need to have a lot of money to choose this college now. Things are very different from when they were when I joined here....Read More
