UPES B.Com FAQs

Ques. Is CUET UG mandatory for B.Com (Hons.) admission at UPES, or can I apply without it?

Ans. CUET UG is not mandatory. UPES accepts both CUET UG scores and conducts its own Personal Interview (PI) for shortlisted applicants. You can apply directly through the UPES website, and if shortlisted, you will be called for a PI. However, a strong CUET score can also fetch you a scholarship of up to 100% on first-year tuition fees.

Ques. What is the difference between B.Com (Hons.) and B.Com (Accounting and Finance) / B.Com (Banking and Insurance) at UPES?

Ans. B.Com (Hons.) is the core programme with specialisations in E-Commerce or Banking and Insurance, and does not have an industry partnership. B.Com (Accounting and Finance), B.Com (Banking and Insurance), and B.Com (International Finance) are offered in knowledge partnership with EY India, which means the curriculum is co-designed with EY and students get additional industry exposure. The fees for EY-partnered programmes may differ.

Ques. Do B.Com (Hons.) students at UPES get good placement opportunities, or is it mostly for BBA/MBA students?

Ans. Placement opportunities for B.Com (Hons.) students are available but are comparatively fewer than for BBA or MBA students. Many B.Com graduates at UPES opt for higher studies (CA, MBA, CMA) rather than direct placements. The university does provide placement assistance, and students have been placed in roles like Account Executive, Financial Analyst, and Business Consultant. However, if direct placement is your primary goal, it is worth noting this aspect before applying.

Ques. Is the Uttarakhand Domicile Scholarship available for all 3 years, and how much does it save?

Ans. Yes, the Domicile Scholarship of 25% on tuition fees is available for all semesters throughout the programme, not just the first year. Based on the 2026-27 fee structure, this translates to a saving of approximately Rs 1,01,625 over 3 years (25% of total tuition fee of Rs 4,06,500). This is one of the most beneficial scholarships for local students.

Ques. What are the hostel options at UPES, and is it mandatory to stay on campus?

Ans. Hostel accommodation at UPES is optional and available on a first-come, first-served basis. The campus has separate residential blocks for boys and girls. The most affordable option is triple-sharing with a common washroom at Rs 1,83,000 per year. Girls also have the option of double-sharing with an attached washroom at Rs 2,32,000 per year. A refundable hostel security deposit of Rs 10,000 is also required. Students can also choose to stay off-campus in Dehradun city, though the campus is located slightly outside the city centre.

Ques. Can a student from the Science or Arts stream apply for B.Com (Hons.) at UPES?

Ans. Yes, UPES does not restrict B.Com (Hons.) admissions to Commerce stream students only. Students from any stream (Science, Arts, or Commerce) who have secured a minimum of 50% marks in both Class X and Class XII are eligible to apply. This makes the programme accessible to a wider pool of applicants who wish to transition into commerce and finance.
