A good last resort but lacks design culture and a creative environment. Poor selection criteria.

Placements: A total of 200 credits is required to sit for placements. Design students get placements based on their portfolio and skills. The harder you work the better off you are. Top recruiting companies are Accenture, Dell, Infosys, and Cent. The highest package is 14 LPA.

Great campus, creative vibe.

Placements: I've just completed my second year in BDes in UPES, so I'm not completely aware of the placements yet. However, according to what I've heard, around 80% get placed, and the remaining ones are given a minimum salary just so that the college can claim 100% placements.

Well-built campus providing you the best experience of what college life means.

Placements: If students choose transportation and mobility design at UPES, about 70 to 85% get placed almost every year. The highest ever package recorded is about 10 LPA, with the average being 4-5 LPA and the lowest being 2.5-3 LPA. Top companies like Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra, and Tata recruit students from UPES.

Top roles offered are transportation designer, mobility solutions designer, UX i...

Creative campus with supportive faculty and growing opportunities in animation.

Placements: I’m doing a B.Des. in Animation and VFX at UPES. Around 88–90% of students in our course secure placements. The highest package is 10 LPA, the average is 6.5 LPA, and the lowest is 2 LPA. Companies like Dell, TCS, and MPL hire from our course. Approximately 80% of students secure internships, often at companies like Dell and Accenture. Most roles are 2D/3D animator, VFX artist, storyboard artist, or concept artist. Placements depend a lot on how good your portfolio is. If you work hard and build...

Good infrastructure and life experience but could be waste of money.

Placements: The placements are not worth the fees, especially for the design courses and they need to improve it. They could have provided more packages as fewer students are there in design courses. They do not offer many options in terms of placement in well-known companies.

Good infrastructure with an average faculty. The atmosphere is good.

Placements: The on-campus placements are not that good. The companies that visit for recruitments select 5-6 students out of the whole batch, leaving the rest of them without any placements even when they have good skills along with good portfolios. The college can improve this situation by providing more placement opportunities.
