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.
Infrastructure: I think the best part of the college is the infrastructure. UPES has 2 campuses in one area that's a drawback because it's far apart but the infrastructure is good. The hostel is also good but the rooms don't have all the facilities.
Faculty: The curriculum is similar to any other college but the faculties are not up to the mark. Some faculties are good and some are not. Faculty members are often biased. The assessment's marking is unfair because most marks depend on internal marking so it's a drawback.
Other: Events and fests could be better than doing it all about campus and clubs.

I am absolutely satisfied with the faculty members and facilities of this college.
Placements: About 99% of students in our college were placed. The highest salary package offered was 24 LPA. The lowest salary package is unknown and the average salary package offered is 7 LPA. Almost every girl I know is definitely getting placed as companies tend to focus on maintain girl to boy percentage.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in almost every corner of the college. The range might differ though and the labs are extraordinary. The hostel is good if you can manage to stay inside more than roaming around outside.You can even look for hostels outside the campus but the on-campus hostel is great too.
Faculty: Teachers at UPES are qualified and have foreign experience too. The graphics and communication students are getting every little detailed information. The pass percentage is 4 CGPA as per my knowledge. I don't think people should ever get this percentage as design is a beautiful course and it doesn't need learning but it needs creativity.
Other: I chose this course because I have a creative mind and I always wanted to do design. The particular batch attracted me because I am keen in technology and website or app aspects of society.

Really good infrastructure and facilities along with amazing faculty.
Placements: 99% were placed in amazing companies with a very good package. The highest package was of 4.5lpa average package was 2lpa and the lowest was 50,000 IBM, oracle, Microsoft, TATA, infosys, etc. Almost all students got internships from several companies. Graphic designer, video editor, illustrator, cartoonist, and many more.
Infrastructure: Amazing infrastructure, with Wi-Fi, canteen, labs of various types for all courses, AC classrooms, huge library with almost 100 copies of almost all books. Everything is top notch, the medical facilities are there with not only a doctor but also a counselor.
Faculty: The faculty is highly knowledgeable in the area of subject they teach, they're very helpful, even if you call them for a doubt they would be available without any complaints. Yes, it does. The pass percentage is 32.5% and the exams are not that difficult just the seriousness is there.
Other: I chose this course as I was interested in illustration and graphics. The best things about this course is that I am not only getting the chosen course syllabus but we also have minor and exploratory courses. Maybe more of nature interaction. We have urja every year and wow Wednesdays on every Wednesday.

It is the best place to study in Dehradun.
Placements: Our university provides quite good placements in top companies and design studios. It has a remarkable record of 100% placements. The average salary package offered ranges around 6-7 LPA, which is quite decent. Placement is not a huge issue if you study here.
Infrastructure: The campus is equipped with high-speed internet. It has proper labs considering the work, comprising I Macs and Cintiq studios. Library provides a good number of books regarding the course. Medical facilities are also provided by them. The food court is also quite great. It has 3 cafeterias and a large sports ground.
Faculty: Teachers in our course are from top companies with huge industrial work experience. They are knowledgeable. There are no written examinations for this course. Instead, they conduct juries in which we get our work reviewed by professionals and get marked on the basis of that.
Other: The best thing about the course is that the number of jobs in this field is in good amount. Searching for a job doesn't require much time, and you also get paid well.
