Great campus, creative vibe.

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.

Creative campus with supportive faculty and growing opportunities in animation.

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 regu...

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.

Good college, and satisfied with the faculty and lab.

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.

I am absolutely satisfied with the faculty members and facilities of this college.

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.

Review of School of Design, UPES.

Faculty: Some well-experienced teachers guide students on the path that they want and also give students the creative freedom that they need. The jury that happens at the end of every semester is a way to judge students' work and progress which includes constructive criticism. Internships and exploratory courses help students to explore more.
