UPES

Hello Mohith,
Congrats for scoring such a nice score, for getting admitted in UPES, you have successfully cleared the first stage that is you are eligible for the entrance examination of UPES.
The second stage is that now you have to score as per the criteria in the entrance examination in order to be a part of UPES following by the petrochemical branch.

Both are good. UPES is best for petroleum engineering mainly, but I don't know about other branches. But, specifically for CSE Manipal University is best.

Yes, you can get fire and safety with this rank. It's a good rank. So in my knowledge there should not be any problem in getting this branch.

Yes, you can get UPES through JEE Mains rank. But you must register for it.

It will be good if you go to UPES because UPES provides many specialisation in CS. So you will get extra benefits. Also, it has a very good reputation as compared to other colleges.

I don't have any idea about this. So you can check it on their official website or you can directly call them. So you will get more clear information.

I will prefer CSE in UPES because it has its own reputation. In terms of placements UPES is good. If you are an above average student then you will get a handsome package. Top recruiters in UPES are IBM, LNT, MICROSOFT, VMware and Dell.

It is tough to get petroleum branch with 5000 rank, as the course seats gets filled up first and fast. Students mainly opt for petroleum branch only here at UPES if computer Science is not chosen. So, 5000 is tough to get petroleum stream in UPES, Dehradun.

I would not say excellent. But, it is a decent college that provides suitable courses and a lot of specializations in various fields. The packages offered are same as any other engineering college. Teachers are helpful, a decent library and large food court forms a good combination. In terms of study and packages offered compared to fee charged by UPES, it is an average college as these features can be found at a lower price in other colleges too.

As the name says, "Petroleum" is considered to be the best course in UPES. But, UPES provides many other courses that are helpful too. In computer science, there are many specializations that can be chosen according to the field of interest. Then in non-CS also. It offers a lot of courses like electrical, mining, APE gas stream, oil and gas etc. Fire and safety stream is also providing a great package as very few universities provide this course. So, these were the courses that you can choose. All the best.
