UPES Dehradun has set the example right on how the private universities should be!

Faculty: Engineering is a specialized professional course. Specialized professionals are what our professors are. I consider myself more than lucky that I have been guided and mentored by such people. The exam difficulty level at UPES is tough, and that is why nearly 30% of students carry subjects in the following semesters.

Good placement, excellent infrastructure, and industry-oriented chemical engineering curriculum.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful. They are well-qualified, and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is relevant and industry-oriented. It also provides practical exposure, which makes students job-ready. Exams are moderately difficult. Normal exam preparation is mostly enough, almost everything is taught in the lecture itself. Pass percentage is generally high.

A good last resort but lacks design culture and a creative environment. Poor selection criteria.

Faculty: Faculty are alumni of renowned institutions in India. They are well qualified, have strong intent, and are quite helpful. The course curriculum is relevant but it is a bit time-consuming for what is provided. Students are made industry-ready. Also an industry visit is organised for the students. End-semester exams are moderately difficult. The pass percentage is 35 percent.

I am absolutely satisfied with placements in 2026 and the sports opportunities offered.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful and well-qualified, but some could improve their approach to teaching. The course curriculum is almost relevant to industry standards. It includes hands-on experience with the skills learned, allowing students to apply them to real-world problems. The exam level is fair enough, and the passing percentage is 33%.

The crowd is horrible. The college can be much better.

Faculty: The faculty and course curriculum, like any other college in India, are not of much use, and not much help or useful actionable advice can be expected from the teachers. Semester exams are easy to pass if one studies smartly and on time and does not procrastinate things.

The highest placement ever from our college in 2026.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified. Some are even from IIT and NITs, and even foreign faculty are available based on your course and subject. The course curriculum is very relevant and it does make the student industry-ready. Semester exams could be very easy to very hard based on the set of questions and syllabus.

Good location along with weather. Good faculty and place.

Faculty: Teachers have deep knowledge of the subjects they teach. Faculty members have a very supportive and friendly nature for all queries. All the core CS subjects that are mostly asked in the interview are in the curriculum. According to me, if someone works hard, it does make them industry-ready. About the semester exam, it depends more on the subject. Students fail, but that can depend on the subject, and it's difficult.

Decent college with fun campus life and okay placements.

Faculty: Faculty members are great except for a few, the course is quite fun. Talking about the exams, they are quite easy, and you can get through them very easily if you pay attention during the lectures. Things have changed a bit. Now you just have to answer in the class quizzes and tests, submit projects on time, and you are good, you just have to appear for the exam. If your class performance is good, you will pass.

My idea of UPES, its infrastructure, fee structure, surroundings, and college life.

Faculty: The curriculum is managed properly with an updated syllabus. The issue only lies with the professors, as a few of them might be quite difficult to bear at times (while almost all of them are helpful and approachable). You should keep your attendance maintained at least 75 percent across all subjects otherwise, you might get debarred from taking the exams and might have to repeat the subject.

Satisfied with the college infrastructure as well as the placements.

Faculty: Best law faculty in Dehradun. Experienced teachers from various NLUs and top universities and courts. Guest lectures from top advocates and judges. The moot court facility that the college provides gives a real-life exposure to students to court hearings.
