Don't waste your time and money by taking energy systems as master in UPES (its a trap).

Placements: Honestly speaking, the role of the college is to prepare students for the industry. But, the colleges today in our country is far away from this ideology. And same has happened with my batch. We are not academically strong, and in addition to that, industrial needs are different. Our college manages to get some startups and small scale companies for placement of energy system. So far, 3-4 companies have interviewed us including Infosys ( for the role of software engineer which is not acceptable ...

You choose your own mountains to climb

Placements: The university provides good placement offers to students who work hard throughout the 4 years. It doesn't have to be all about academics, it is also about knowledge maybe through research papers, national or international competitions or even workshops and conferences. The off-campus placement has also been really great for over-achievers.

Although a private college but the college has every other potential to break the ice for IITs.

Placements: Currently, the placements in aerospace sector are low, not only for this college but even in IITs. Last year, 10 students among 39 were placed, out of which the highest package was of 14 LPA and the lowest package offered was 3 LPA, although the overall placement of the college is up to 90%. Not to lose hope, the college provides an excellent opportunity for masters and research in your field. Many students who have passed have been in excellent colleges around the globe for masters.

Good placement in the year 2017 so far, infrastructure is as good as needed and great faculty.

Placements: As the placement process is still undergoing, nothing can be said conclusively. But, so far, the college has managed to become a hub for different national and international companies recruitment process. The highest salary offered, as per my knowledge, was around Rs. 1.8 million in the petroleum sector whereas the minimum is Rs. 800 thousand, till date.

Satisfied with the college faculty and infrastructure, but still, there are some loopholes.

Placements: Most of the students were placed in other companies, but very few got placed in core companies. The average package was around 4 lakhs per annum while the highest package was around 10 lakhs per annum. Many companies visited our college, but very few visited for the core domain of aerospace and avionics. Most students get placement in IT companies. The internship given to our seniors is appreciable. The opportunities were great but are limited to some students and their financial conditions.

University of Petroleum and Energy Studies is the best to study.

Placements: Petroleum placement of the university is good and the highest package bagged by the student this year was 34 LPA, and in the computer department, the highest package offered was 16 LPA. Companies like Schlumberger, L&T, Dell etc. visited the campus for placements this year. College provides good internship to the students.

If money in not your problem and have an interest in the branch, do join.

Placements: In our branch, the placement is satisfactory. It may be so because students of the quality that the branch demands are less here. But those who are good and interested in this field will surely get well placed. Well, placements depend only on the students' capabilities. If you are good enough, no one can stop you. By the way, a lot of companies visit UPES with good offers. This time, placement was about 95%. This university creates a good environment for learning which develops capabilities in e...

UPES is now growing to a great height of achievement and we wish our college for its success

Placements: Talking about the placement in ASE-AVE, it is not up to the mark, as the aerospace industry is in its initial stage and therefore it will take time to grow. "Make in India" is kind of the last option for us. The placement should be done on the basis of what kind of practical knowledge a student learned in their particular branch in their 4 years. I think that makes a huge difference between engineers and skilled engineers.

Almost satisfied with the college because of good faculty, good placement, and good facilities

Placements: The placement is good. Our senior batches got 100% placement in core companies like Reliance, Dr. Reddy, Va Tech Wabag, Adani, L&T, Vedanta, etc. Packages can vary from company to company. The average package is 5 to 7 LPA. For internship, there is the option of by self or by college. If you choose by college then they will provide you an internship in a good company.

At last I had to choose between Amity Noida and UPES, and I think my choice was correct.

Placements: The placements are good. Companies are coming but sometimes the people don't meet their criteria. Although the placements are pretty good. In every branch, there are companies of their domain or other domains. But if a company is coming from the aerospace sector, it is one of best in the sector. People sometimes say that the placement depends upon the college but if the college is providing a platform at its level best and you cannot meet the criteria, then it's your fault.

UPES life is the worst and is a lot different from the movies of Karan Johar

Placements: The placement record in UPES was good as there were placements in many big companies like Shell, ONGC, Schlumberger, Amazon and many others but now it is dipping as they have started increasing the strength here. Now there are placements in the university but the ratio has dropped down to very less due to the increasing number of applicants in the same course and the university is only famous for its chemical, gas and upstream branches which do have a good placement as compared to the other bran...

Placements: The placements are pretty good. If you have skills and you can beat others, the college will provide you with the best facilities. Companies that recruit in oil and gas sector are although less, there's always your capability that makes the difference. Schlumberger and ExxonMobil recently recruited two of our super seniors. On top of that, they gave PPOs i.e. the pre-placement offers to them. ONGC and Schlumberger are always the first priority of UPES and they never disappoint. ...

Great faculty, par excellence support for R&D, yet no value given to students

Placements: The placements, especially for our branch didn't go great. There are 5 branches of mechanical engineering with specializations, mechatronics engineering and automotive design engineering. All of the branches with an average of 80 students in each branch are sitting for common placements. Great companies come with great packages, but the competition is very high.

Placements: The university gives a chance to everyone for internships, but the internships are only used to write in your CV. The placement cells are even worse, and they depend on passed year students to send the companies where they are working, and also they are least concerned about working and getting companies to campus. The highest package range from 28-30 lakhs per annum and only 3-4 people got out of 2,500 students. The minimum packages lie from 2.5 - 3.5 lakhs per annum. My branch APE GAS gets max...

It is the last best option. Good faculty, moderate infrastructure, good crowd, and the dense campus.

Placements: The placements for my branch are above average with the highest package offered of 19 LPA. For the branches comprising computer science, the highest package goes to 10 LPA. The best branch for placements is the petroleum and upstream of which the highest package could be up to 24 LPA. The frequency of the companies coming to the campus placements depends on the performance of the last batch, and it also depends on the skill attained by the student.

The opportunities and environment that college provides to the students is something commendable.

Placements: Considering the market crash after the year 2015 and its effect on oil and gas industries, the placements for our senior batch were decently good, and for our batch, it is ongoing. Around 80-90% of our branch got placed with the average package of 6 LPA. MNC’s like Schlumberger, Shell India, etc. visit our campus for recruitment.

One of the best private colleges situated in an amazing location

Placements: Pretty decent compared to other private colleges. The average: 4 LPA and the highest: 18 LPA. Placements of core branches are much better. Upstream, downstream and automotive have the highest number of placements. Other branches too have decent placements. New branches in computer science have recently become very famous in the industry.
