UPES Reviews on Placements, Faculty and Facilities

In the 7th semester itslef largely student's are placed and that is not all as if one student is placed with a package of 8 lakhs, he/she can still apply for the next organisation which is coming but only if they offer a 50% hike.

If one wants to thrive on free servings then our course is definitely not for them. One has to roil hard and sweat often. Having said that what I wanted in my course, I got all of it in my course. All the programing languages and things that needs to build software and at the same time knowing hardware as well.

Birla Soft, Polaris and many names which are heard of were here. Over 2000 students are placed from UPES every year including all branch. Massive placements happen here and everyone who have studied hard and has done intenrships were provided placements.

One don't have to go round and round as placements are done well within the time as most students here are placed by 7th semester. Those who left behind can try their luck on day zero as we have mass companies coming for a 3 day event and hire as many as they can.

Campus placements at UPEE starts every September as let's say I am in my final year now and our placements have started ever since. So, 60% of my class is already placed by now and fortunately I am one of those.

The placement rate of UPES School of Engineering is 80%. Now this is bigger than most as it is impossible to have that placements percentage with a batch of 1000 or more. The average placements are also between 7-9 LPA and highest so far has been of 42 LPA. Top names in the industry like Microsoft, Adobe and Amazon are some of our biggest recruiters.

Around 100 recruiters is what UPES has and it is not at all easy for us even after that. I am placed while I am in my 7th semester and most students were. Those who are left will get another shot in this semester which is our last semester. All IT companies while coming to Dehradun UPES is their first coice university for recruitment.

Campus placements begin as early as 3rd year end. Because in the 5th semester our training and all starts. Also, students with intenrships certificates get a better chance and first chance too. Roles and all depends on skills but whoever gets placements get in between 5-10 lakhs. Some brilliant students though have got placements worth 30-40 lakhs too but only a few.

Since CSW students as in UPES School of Computer Science students are 1200+, I think 60 percent students do get placements. Now the criteria is that students get a strong bandwith in placements that it is not at all easy to become a part of placements as students carrying back in 3rd year are not allowed to appear for any job interview at the university.

UPES students have to be ready in the last year as both the semester placements activities keeps on having its toll. Also, a student qualified for a placement can only appear for the interview on the companies that are offering a 2x paycheck as otherwise once the placements are done means done at UPES.
