UPES B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Admission to UPES is primarily through the UPESEAT entrance exam, encompassing questions in physics, chemistry, maths, general knowledge, and grammar. A rank-based selection allows top performers to choose from over 17 branches, with additional admissions via JEE Main scores and board percentages. Counseling in New Delhi includes branch selection. The faculty is highly qualified, many with PhDs, though student-to-faculty ratios range from 1:60 to 1:100, which can limit personalized attention.

The curriculum aligns with industry standards, but some faculty lack practical teaching methods. UPES has a high fee structure, with B.Tech programs costing around 20 lakhs INR over four years, including hostel fees. Semester fees start at 1.3-1.7 lakhs INR, with annual increments of 10%. Hostel fees range from 1 to 1.6 lakhs INR annually, and total costs, including living expenses, can reach 24 lakhs INR. Despite high costs, the college has a strong placement record, with over 90% securing jobs in companies like Microsoft and Amazon.

The highest package is 55 lakhs per annum, with an average of 8-10 lakhs per annum. Students are eligible for placements in their 6th semester, with mandatory internships starting in the 3rd year. Stipends range from 20,000 to 80,000 INR per month. Scholarships are available for various criteria, including a 100% tuition fee waiver for a CGPA of 9 or above, and a 30% fee concession for domicile students from Uttarakhand.

Female students and top performers also receive scholarships. The overall cost of a B.Tech program ranges from 16 to 28 lakhs, excluding hostel fees, with a yearly fee hike. UPES provides education loans through partner banks, easing the loan approval process.
