Good infrastructure and facilities. Some faculty members are awesome.

Placements: A good number of students got placed. Top recruiting companies for the course include IBM, etc. Roles offered include cybersecurity, coding, web development, and startups. The college has placements in top companies. Student academic and extracurricular activities skills help more in getting placed at a top recruiting company.

Infrastructure: Many facilities are available at the college. The college has a very beautiful infrastructure and campus. Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms with projectors, a library, and many more facilities are available. The quality of the facilities is good. The quality of food is great. Many franchise food brands are available at the college, for example, Domino's. Medical and sports facilities are also available.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is very good, except for a few faculty members. The course curriculum is relevant and effectively prepares students for industry readiness. They also have mindfulness as a subject and more extracurricular activities. The specialisation courses include AI, ML, Cybersecurity, and other specialisations. The semester exams are a little bit difficult, but not much.

Other: I chose this course because of my personal interest in computer science. The best thing about the course is that it covers the application of computers. Events are grandly held in the college. The college is a bit overcrowded. The campus surroundings are awesome, and extracurricular activities are great.

A place where you can study with fresh and clean air.

Placements: A good number of students had been placed in our course. UPES has a good placement record. 52 LPA in CRED. Companies like Microsoft, IBM, Infosys, HCL, Accenture, etc., recruit. A high percentage of students secure the internship, and there is also full-time recruitment.

Infrastructure: The facilities are good. In our hostel, we have a mess, common room that consists of games like table tennis and pool. In food also a lot of variety. In our course, we are provided with labs like Physics lab, for each experiments their is separate lab. Wi-Fi is 24/7 available in both the college and hostel. Classrooms are good. The library is also good, it consist so many books, a charging port for laptops or phones, and there are so many books available for each topic.

Faculty: Some teachers are very helpful and qualified. They also collab in writing a research paper like things. Teaching quality is good for some teachers and not for others. Partially correct and partially wrong. Some topics made student industry ready, like Python, DSA, etc. Difficult level is good, like we have to understand the topic to solve the exam. 35/100 is the passing criteria.

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.

Absolutely I am satisfied because of good culture, faculty, and good placement in 2025.

Placements: About 95 percent of students are placed in the year 2025, the highest package is about 35 LPA, the average is about 11 LPA, and the top recruiters for our branch are Cairn Oil & Gas, Vedanta Ltd, ONGC, Adani Gas, HP, Oil India Limited, GAIL, and many more.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are good, we have a common library, the campus is divided into blocks in which classes are conducted, sports facilities are also good, the college hostel has a limited number of seats so I would prefer an off-campus hostel, but the food in the campus is good.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and experienced, they are always helpful and supportive, semester examinations are not very difficult if you pay attention to lectures, and you can score a good CGPA with minimal effort, as the course curriculum is related to industry requirements.

Knowledgeable faculty and support.

Placements: 99% are placed. 6 LPA is the lowest package, and 33 LPA is the highest, but placement records are good, and everyone is getting placements somewhere else, and students are also supportive. Zepto, blinkit, EY, KPMG ITC, Indigo, Aadani Airpot, ONGC and all are recruiting. 100% got internships. Manager and Consulting roles are offered. placements are also good.

Infrastructure: Everything has Wi-Fi, a good connection, good college life and a view. Hostel life is amazing and has to be seen, and the night view and jamming sessions are the point of attraction.

Faculty: All the teachers are highly qualified, and they are great and supportive. 3 years for Bachelor's and 2 years minimum for Master's degree. For a 3-year Bachelor's degree, there are 6 semesters, and for a 2-year master's course, 4 semesters. You will love the campus life. The faculty is also knowledgeable and supportive.

Other: One university offering an MBA.

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.
