UPES Dehradun Answered Questions

Hi Akshar,
Petroleum engineering is a great course, but if you want to seek options, then you can either apply to their Aerospace Engineering or Computer Science Engineering course.
I am only giving you these two options because they have really good exposure and placement records.
But when you take the name of UPES, all the courses are really well and provide a geod direction to your career. Yet, if you are unsure of the stream then you can select any course you like from their more than 30 streams. You can find the details here-http://www.upes.ac.in/upes_btech/courses.php

Asia's first university in energy sector and India's only best institution to offer various courses in Petroleum and Energy programmes, UPES is at the forefront of petroleum engineering education.
The university has more than 80+ domain focused programmes to offer along which 31+ are B.Tech courses.
Known best for their specialized programs across energy, infrastructure, transportation and computer science and engineering UPES even organizes numerous events, conferences, and company presentations for the students throughout the year, to help the students build a network within the industry.
I could go on and on describing the plus points of the university as there are endless reasons to call UPES the best institution for petroleum.
UPES has a leading track record in pioneering energy sector, as is the only Asian University to receive the prestigious World Oil Award and the only one is Uttarakhand to set up a Workover Oil Rig on campus.
If you've listed UPES in your choice for admission, don't hesitate to go for it.

Hi Hasnain, There is no specific cut-off list generated by the university, the branch-wise cut-off in UPES totally depends on the no. of applicants shortlisted for the counselling.
There are approx 60-70 seats per branch available in the university which are filled on the basis of UPESEAT merit list and from the percentage of marks received in 10+2 examination.

Hi Sahil,
You haven't clarified what course you're looking for, but still if you want a comparison between DCRUST & UPES, then I would say that UPES is a far better university for engineering.
Be it B. Tech, M.Tech, MSc, BSc they have great faculty and provide amazing industry placement to the students.
So if you're looking forward on choosing any one of them, you should choose UPES as your first choice.

Hi Prakhar, UPES is no doubt the better choice than XIME.
XIME was established in 2008 whereas UPES was established in 2003 also in terms of course structure, facilities, placements and faculty I think UPES is way ahead than any other private universities in India.
If you wish to apply in MBA, you should do it sooner as 8th July is the last date for admissions.
