B.Des. in Mobility and Vehicle Design - Batch of 2027
3.6
3Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life2Value for Money
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. Nearly 100% of students got internships related to Automation in companies like Tata Elxsi, OLA Electric, and such. Top roles offered are transportation designer, mobility solutions designer, UX in automotive designer, 3D visualization, and many more.
Infrastructure: Our hostels are provided with good spacious rooms, electricity, water supply, and water geysers. Food and canteen services are also neat and provided promptly. Medical services are also available when needed. UPES also provides Wi-Fi, has good labs, and tidy classrooms.
Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and from various top institutions like NID, NIFT, and many more. Around 10-20 faculty members are from the design field in this college. They are open to doubts and clarifications and provide personal mentorship if needed. Students are well-trained to fit industrial standards.

B.Des. in Animation and VFX - Batch of 2027
4.2
3Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money
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 skills, you get good opportunities. UPES does help, but you have to try too.
Infrastructure: Our Animation and VFX course has good labs with drawing tables, powerful PCs, Wi-Fi, and projectors. The library has useful books and is peaceful. Classrooms are clean and have AC. The hostel rooms are decent, Wi-Fi is pretty bad, not going to lie, and the washrooms are clean if maintained. Food in the mess is average, but the canteen has better options. Medical help is available 24/7 on campus. There is a sports ground, a basketball court, and indoor games too. Overall, if you stay involved and take care of things, it is a good place to learn and stay.
Faculty: Most teachers are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, especially in animation and design subjects. Some teach well, while a few are just okay. The curriculum is mostly good and covers both basic and advanced topics, including industry software. It could be updated a bit more for real-world trends, but it helps make you job-ready if you put in effort. Semester exams are not too hard if you attend classes and complete assignments. The pass percentage is high, around 90% or more. If you work regularly, it is easy to manage.
Other: The best part is learning cool stuff like 2D/3D animation, VFX, and working on real projects. Teachers support creativity. I wish the software access and class schedules were better managed. The campus is beautiful and has lots of greenery. There are fun events like Uurja and Ignite, and the crowd is chill and creative. There is Wi-Fi, sports, clubs, and decent scholarships. It is peaceful here, but far from the main city, so travel takes time.

B.Des. in Product Design - Batch of 2027

3Placements3Infrastructure5Faculty2Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money
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.
Infrastructure: The campus is good. The college’s hostel doesn’t have proper food facility. The transportation here is another issue. The college is located far from the city with the airport being 1.5 hours away from the college. Also, traveling is expensive here. The classrooms are good though.
Faculty: The faculty here is good. They are very helpful. The exam system for the school of design is jury-based. At the end of every semester, we have a jury and get marked through it along with internal markings. This shows the overall improvement throughout the semester.
Other: The working environment here is very good and flexible thought the crowd can be improved.

Top notch facilities and industry relevant curriculum.
Placements: As a third year UI/UX student, I am happy to talk about the placements. Most of us land in jobs having packages ranging from 3 to 15 Lacs per annum. UPES offers great support, industry exposure and a friendly environment, making it a good choice for the students pursuing design.
Infrastructure: We have a high-speed Wi-Fi, well-equipped labs, and spacious classrooms, Hostel accommodations have a good security and laundry services. The dining options provide nutritious meals, good medical services, along with many spots activities. The campus provides a well-equipped gymnasium as well.
Faculty: The faculty is helpful, qualified, approachable and knowledgeable, ensuring a good teaching quality. Semester exams are manageable with a good passing percentage. The curriculum makes UI/UX students industry ready, it includes various topics that are required.

Good college, and satisfied with the faculty and lab.
Placements: I am currently in my 3rd year with 68 students pursuing user experience design. The top recruiters are IBM, Microsoft, and Dell. Currently, college has provided for most of the students in my course internship. The top roles provided are UI designer and UX researcher.
Infrastructure: Beautiful campus with lots of greenery and good-quality classrooms. The food canteen serves delicious meals as well. The on-campus hostel is pretty neat and clean, with ample facilities. The medical services provided on campus are also very effective and reliable.
Faculty: The faculty here is knowledgeable and helpful. They teach students to be on par with the industry outside. The course curriculum is tailored according to our needs. In design, we have jury exams as our semester-end exams, which are quite difficult and come with constructive criticism to help us improve.
Other: I chose this course because of the high demand for UI/UX in the industry because of digitalization. Apps are being made in numbers and UI designers are in demand.

Satisfied with the infrastructure, faculty and the course.
Placements: I'm still in my pre-final year, which means the placement process for our batch still hasn't begun. However, we have started receiving internship offers from established companies across the country. The companies coming to us for internships offer high credibility rates and hence, I genuinely feel that in the upcoming session, our placements will be up to par as well.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is really good and user-friendly, keeping in mind the vast demands of a design student's work and presentation. We have two accessible stations on our campus and also pinboards in place of walls, which makes the process easier when we have exhibitions or jury meetings in our college.
Faculty: The faculty members here are amazing when it comes to one-on-one interactions; they are all also very knowledgeable when it comes to their respective fields and have a commendable networking skill set, which brings in a lot of inspiration. The course taught to us is actually relevant and helps us grow in the field at an exponential rate.
Other: I personally chose this course of interaction design because I wanted to explore more in the sector of IT specifically and what else can be better than that? It is safe to say that UPES was a great decision for me to fulfill that wish.
