Remarks

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 Overview

4.5

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% .

Placement Experience

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 .

College Events

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 And Facilities

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 .

Fees and Financial Aid

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.

Campus Life

4.5

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.

Alumni/Alumna

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 .

Admission

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.

Faculty

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.

Social life is good with feat happening around in college.
Wifi is provided in our building and the hostel.
Infrastructure of our new hostel and our labs is good

Dislikes

Teachers are qualified but the quality education is not good
Too much restriction on girls but boys are free to roam at night.
Mess food is just acceptable not that good.

Placement Experience:

For campus placement students need to be atleast in last or second last semester of the course. But for internship it's fine even if student is in 1st or 2nd yr. But most of teh students here decided to pursue master from here only and I still don't know have exact idea hown many students got placed in th companies.

I like the college curriculum and study materials and teaching style of the teachers . Some teachers are impressive and their teaching style is too good .
Campus life is not much engaging but we usually spent our time in studying only . Also for attendance there is not much more criteria but some teachers are very strict in taking the attendance.
Faculties are full of experience and knowledge. They are approachable online and offline too but after the class.

Dislikes

I don't like the placement system in my college because the students studying in 2nd year do not get any exposure of placement . There is placement cell in our college but not very active .
Infrastructure is good but it should be spread in a more big acres . My wish was to get into IIT Kharagpur that's why I am asking for big campus .
Overall curriculum and research based approach of the campus is good. They just give projects to the seniors and seniors work is to dictate us about the project and helps us in building different types of project.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The main aspects that motivates me to choose this college is the GFTI'S colleges . Because my father suggest me that govt. Colleges seeks more companies that's why I choose this college . But truth is totally opposite from the reality. Real world application based projects is just given by the teachers in every semester but we students copy it and give it to them from the gpt. College timing should be more less we have to study from 10 am to 5 p.m. Timings of exams are of 3 hrs only in semester . Difficulty level is moderate.

Dislikes

There is no such things that i did not like in this collage but if i have to say something i will go with the canteen service is very bad and not very friendly

Course Curriculum Overview:

On expericing day to day people and theirs pain in the muscle and joints . This made me decide why i should choose this course . The area which they need for improvement is if they give more attetion to some sports that will be very greatful for the students so that they can have some fun other study and stress. The timing of the collage is 9 to 5 and if you have any exam or practicals only then they call you on specific time and regular classes are off on that day duration of the exam is 1.5 hours
