UPES - A good investment only if you're smart and proactive.
Placements: So, like, there are 3 categories in the 3rd year, and you give an exam for placement. The highest one is alpha, they get placement 100%, beta guys are like 7-9 CGPA, they get max to max 7-20 LPA packages, and gamma ones are like below average students, so placement depends on their personal skills.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is not good in college, but in the hostel it's good. The classroom is there. The library standard is that I get all the resources, and good books are there. I have Microsoft 365 Premium, and as you do research, the GPU is assigned. Food, I would say 7/10, it's edible and clean, but not spicy. Non-veg is provided 3 days a week. A pool, table tennis, and badminton court are inside the hostel, and as we live in a college hostel, the playgrounds are open till 10:30 for us.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified, it's like how much work can you get out of them? The course curriculum is excellent and makes students industry-ready. You learn a lot. Semester exams are like, the odd semester is easy, and the even semester is hard. For CSE, you are taught AIML in the first semester, so you will learn to train models, then you go into your domain and expand. Semester exams, Maths is difficult for me, and the rest is very much of your own practice. Minimum 6 CGPA per subject and an overall 6.5 CGPA needed to pass. Teachers are decent.
Other: The MUN club is the best. I am a part of it, it has great public speaking skills and I have developed great communication skills. Chapters and extracurricular activities are there every month. There are at least 4-5 events going on.
