Top notch facilities and industry relevant curriculum.

Placements: As a third year UI/UX student, I am happy to talk about the placements. Most of us land in jobs having packages ranging from 3 to 15 Lacs per annum. UPES offers great support, industry exposure and a friendly environment, making it a good choice for the students pursuing design.

Good infrastructure with an average faculty. The atmosphere is good.

Placements: The on-campus placements are not that good. The companies that visit for recruitments select 5-6 students out of the whole batch, leaving the rest of them without any placements even when they have good skills along with good portfolios. The college can improve this situation by providing more placement opportunities.

Satisfied with the infrastructure, faculty and the course.

Placements: I'm still in my pre-final year, which means the placement process for our batch still hasn't begun. However, we have started receiving internship offers from established companies across the country. The companies coming to us for internships offer high credibility rates and hence, I genuinely feel that in the upcoming session, our placements will be up to par as well.

Overall, our college is very good. Its location is very good, so you will have some great memories.

It is a good college and has value for money.

Placements: Almost 96% of the students got placed from college. The salary package offered ranges from 7 LPA - 8 LPA. The highest salary package offered was 13 LPA. Rest depends on your skill and ability. Almost everyone gets internships in companies completely depends upon your capability and skill. In both cases, your portfolio has more weightage than your marks.

Good infrastructure and faculty members.

Placements: As this course was started in this college just a few years back, only one batch has passed out last year, and the 2nd batch will be passing out this year. There is a placement cell in college, but it doesn't help students much. Students need to be updated, so they get in touch with the teachers and the dean for placements. Majority of the students got the internships in their fourth year, and placements will be good if you prove yourself to be one out of the others.

An average college with mountain view, unstable weather, average placements.

Placements: As of now the first batch is just graduating, so the placements are yet to know. However the M.Des branch has average placements. Two students are going to be placed soon. In the next month we would get to know the result of placements. The M.Des students have gone for a Max package of 9.5 Lacs and minimum of 6 Lacs pa. Internships have been given to almost all students from 3rd year onwards. Many were placed in design firms like design directions, space wood furnitures etc.

Go for it if you have no option left.

Placements: If you are good enough, you will definitely get placed. If not then Infosys, TCS, HCL are waiting. Up till now, 75% students in the top branches get placement in core companies including the RnD sector but placement will be tougher in the coming years as there is a sharp increase in the no. of students in every branch with every passing year.
