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.

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.

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.

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.

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 i...
