UPES School of Design Reviews on Placements, Faculty & Facilities ,Dehradun

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.

Placements: I am currently in my 3rd year with 68 students pursuing user experience design. The top recruiters are IBM, Microsoft, and Dell. Currently, college has provided for most of the students in my course internship. The top roles provided are UI designer and UX researcher.

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.

Placements: Around 100% of students are placed in companies. The highest salary package offered is 44 LPA, and the average salary package offered is 12 LPA. There are 40 recruiters including Tata, Maruti Suzuki, Escorts, LTI, etc. Many students get placed in excellent companies with the highest stipend being 1.5 lakh by Amazon. There are various specializations in product design, and students can also become exhibition designers, set designers, product designers, etc.

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.

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.

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.
