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.

Infrastructure: There are many facilities, classrooms with projectors, design labs, a library, a sports ground, a hostel, a gym, WiFi, an infirmary, a multipurpose hall, cafeterias, and a lot of scenic and creative spaces. I haven't lived in the in-campus hostels, but I've heard they're okay, just overpriced.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and experienced, and the teaching quality is good with a practical focus. The course is industry relevant and updated. Exams are moderate in difficulty, and most students pass with consistent efforts. Specifically for design, we don't have written exams, rather interaction-based ones, called the jury.

Other: I chose this course for its creative focus and industry exposure. The best part is the hands-on projects. I wish there was more interdepartmental collaboration. The campus vibe, events, crowd, and the surroundings are lively and inspiring.

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.

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.

An average college with mountain view, unstable weather, average placements.

Placements: As of now the first batch is just graduating, so the placements are yet to know. However the M.Des branch has average placements. Two students are going to be placed soon. In the next month we would get to know the result of placements. The M.Des students have gone for a Max package of 9.5 Lacs and minimum of 6 Lacs pa. Internships have been given to almost all students from 3rd year onwards. Many were placed in design firms like design directions, space wood furnitures etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is average. Students are provided with high-speed Wi-Fi. Classroom are average. But the new one's being constructed are good. Medical facilities are not good. The availability of medicines is less. The food court is big, three storey's big with availability of different types of cuisines at affordable price. Hostel rooms are below average and should be made better. There is lack of lift in the food court.

Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable. But it varies mainly as some of the faculty does't teach properly and some does. They do follow the curriculum. Teachers resort to the old school method of blackboard and also teaching through PowerPoint. We do get industry exposure. The students to faculty ratio is 1:15 for design students. Course curriculum is useful only in some cases.

Other: There are lots of students chapters and they organize annual cultural fest like uurja. Yugmak, hackathon etc. Are some of the other events conducted in the campus.
