The college can improve on the placement records.

Placements: A smaller number of student placement records have been shown this year, and I heard about the fact that Microsoft banned this college from entering for placements due to an internal issue. The placements average at 7 to 10LPA, that too if you are qualified with a good amount of knowledge in the field.

Infrastructure: Facilities are fair, sports facilities can be improved, and there are frequent Wi-Fi problems. I went inside the on campus hostel and noticed the rooms are smaller but ventilated well with a good mess. There needs to be more events based on communities outside the college.

Faculty: Some teachers who are on the younger side are helpful but can be rude at certain times. The curriculum can be better focused on newer generation technology in the coding part. The semester exams can be passed with a fair amount of practice and knowledge of what happens in the classes.

Other: Events and everything are fair and good.

Career prospects are strong, though classrooms can feel average.

Placements: UPES has excellent placement opportunities, especially in CSE. Around 90-95% students are placed with the highest package going above 50 LPA, and the average is 8 LPA. Opportunities are there, but for top performers. Core roles are limited, and many companies offer mass recruitment profiles.

Infrastructure: UPES has one of the best infrastructures among private universities in India, but classrooms should have AC. Hostel and cafeteria are decent, the view from hostel is epic. Wi-Fi-enabled labs are advanced, well-stocked libraries. Sometimes you feel crowded in hostel.

Faculty: Most faculty members are knowledgeable and supportive. The curriculum is industry-oriented, updated regularly and includes emerging areas, AIML, data science and cloud computing. UPES also encourage projects and certification. Exams are manageable if you keep up with lectures.

Other: The crowd in UPES is diverse, with students from all over India. You get good exposure to various cultures, and most students are friendly and energetic. Overall, you will easily find your group.

Good infrastructure, overcrowded for B.Tech students, and placement is average.

Placements: I am in second year so no one is placed in my batch. But the senior gets package which is well and good. The highest package is around 60 LPA in my course, and average is 12 LPA. Some top recruiting companies are TCS, Microsoft, Amazon, and others. Internship is mandatory in our course so everyone gets an internship.

Infrastructure: Our college has all the facilities like Wi-Fi, computers, and labs. I live off campus so I don't have an idea of the hostel on campus. In sports, we have basketball, football, volleyball, badminton, cricket, and many others. We also have tournaments and all to encourage students.

Faculty: Most teachers are helpful but some are not so good and helpful. Teachers are knowledgeable but sometimes they lack somewhere either in the course or to understand the students. The course curriculum is good like they don't have unnecessary subjects and topics. Semester exams are not so difficult to pass but a little bit of hard work is required.

So basically, if you are willing to have good placements and be successful.

Placements: So basically, in my course, the strength of the students is not that much, which means the competition criteria is not very high, resulting in good placements. I'm currently in batch 1, and the total batches in my passing stream are 3. The eligibility criteria to sit for placements is 8+ CGPA, which every student should have for their own benefit. The highest package in my college is recorded as 50 LPA, which is recently offered in 2024, whereas the average top package is 17 LPA, which I think is good for a beginner.

Infrastructure: So TBH, I am not living in the campus hostel as the campus hostel serves non-veg food, and I have been a vegan from birth. So I avoid living inside the college campus. But I have seen some facilities and also heard more from my friends, like good infrastructure with good-speed Wi-Fi, properly furnished rooms with no smelly gallery, separate balconies, and many more. Medical facilities and other curricular activities are also available on campus in different places with different rules.

Faculty: Teachers are really working hard to help us understand concepts by being strict, which I really appreciate now as a mature student. Many extracurricular activities are also there, for example, I am an applied petroleum student, so I participated in course-related clubs that include quizzes directly connected to my course and help me with my academics. However, the semester exams are not that tough to pass, if you study well and keep up with the teacher, then there’s no reason to be stressed about them.

Industry-focused curriculum with great campus life.

Placements: Placements at UPES are pretty solid. Around 90% of students get placed each year. The top package has gone up to 50 LPA, and the average is about 7 to 8 LPA, and companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Deloitte, PwC, and ONGC hire from here, with roles ranging from engineers and developers to business analysts and legal associates. Placements are a strong point, though internships could be improved.

Infrastructure: College offers modern infrastructure with Wi-Fi, labs, smart classrooms, and a rich library. Hostels are safe with decent food, medical care is available 24/7, and the campus has strong sports and fitness facilities for an overall balanced student life.

Faculty: Teachers at UPES are really helpful and knowledgeable. The courses are industry-focused, so you feel prepared for real jobs. Exams are not too tough if you study regularly, and most students (90%+) pass without much stress. Faculty at UPES are generally seen as helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable.

Other: I picked this course mainly because it’s industry-focused and has good placement opportunities. The best part is the practical learning and supportive teachers. On the flip side, fees are a bit high, and internships could be more. Campus life is fun with lots of fests, events, and clubs. The crowd is lively, the surroundings are beautiful, and there are scholarships for deserving students, so overall it’s a good mix of study and fun.

UPES 2025 updated information, all about infrastructure, placements, facilities, hostel, etc.

Placements: Usually, in UPES, students get placed with a decent package of around 8 LPA. When it comes to the highest package, it goes above 30 LPA, and average is 8-10 LPA. Many companies come to the college and take students with a good package, but it totally depends on the student whether they will be able to clear it or not.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is pretty good, and UPES has its own Wi-Fi named UPESNET. It has a good high internet speed, and also the labs and classrooms are not the same as those at CU, GUE, and other private universities. It has far better infrastructure with a good environment, but when it comes to campus hostel, you are charged a lot higher fees, i.e., Rs. 1,94,000 for a triple sharing room, and the food in the mess is not of that good level. As a student who lived on campus for a year, it was very tough to eat that food.

Faculty: UPES has a highly qualified faculty. Faculty have a great knowledge of the subjects, and they actually guide everything and are always available for help. UPES has one of the most advanced curricula compared to most universities. Semester exams are tough to clear as they have a moderate level, but students generally pass.
