UPES is a Private College situated in the middle of a jungle, 9kms away from the city.

Placements: The placements in the college were better in the past than the present. There is a drastic change in the placement scenario. There is hope for improvement but the only hope is there. It was not fair for all streams. CS stream students get placed in IBM because we have a collaboration with them.

Halliburton, Adani Gas and Jindal Drilling are expected to come in March. Packages range from 3.5 LPA of Tech Mahindra to 26 LPA of Weatherford Drilling International.

Good placements for petroleum, getting overpriced every coming year!

Placements: Since I belong to the Petroleum Stream, I will be confined to the petroleum branch only. I am placed in Weatherford International, Dubai and my CTC is 27 LPA with 6 months work and 6 months off. The placements are influenced by the dynamics of the oil and gas market. While the market was in a good scenario, there were commendable placements, reputed companies like Schlumberger, Cairn India, Shell India, Reliance Industries etc. are regular recruiters. The maximum salary ranges between 25-30 LPA...

Satisfied with faculty, amazing place, good placements, and amazing infrastructure.

Placements: The placements are good. Almost every student in the petroleum department placed with an average package. Some good companies come every year, but only a few selected with decent packages. Companies like Schlumberger, Weatherford and BP, come for campus placements while some students go for off-campus placements in companies like Bombay High and Shell as well.

The college provides good facilities and satisfactory infrastructure.

Placements: Placements were pretty good. Almost 20% of the students were placed from core branches, while most of the students from other branches were placed in IT companies. The highest salary package offered was about 25 LPA, and the average salary package offered was about 5 LPA. Many companies visited the campus. For our branch, companies like Schlumberger, Shell, etc., visited and hired many students.

If you are sure about the career you want to opt, UPES is the place you need to be.

Placements: I will start with the internship first. The placement coordinator of the aerospace department arranges an internship for every student irrespective of the pointers they score. Mainly, the students go at different BRDs of the Indian Air Force and if you want to apply on a personal level that is fine too. So overall, the internships and industrial visits are handled by department very well. Talking about Placements I will be honest there is no 100% placement here as aerospace engineering is a sop...

UPES - A place to built yourself.

Placements: UPES provides a splendid opportunity. There are a lots of companies that comes for mechanical branch like, Maruti, TATA, M&M, etc. Companies used to come with different kind of profiles and projects. College also provide 'mock' group discussion and interview for the students.

Good college for Chemical Engineering.

Placements: 80-90% of the students are placed every year in reputed core chemical and petrochemical companies. In the last 3 years, the major recruiters were Reliance, Technip, Thyssen Krupp. Phillips Carbon Black Limited, Pedelite etc. You are also given a chance to sit in IT companies like Infosys as well. For this current year, 10 students out of 38 are placed as of now. 9of them are in PCBL and 1 is in Sparrow risk management. The placements are going on, but hopes are less this year as Technip and Thy...

Great college for Petroleum Engineering

Placements: Being a final year student of petroleum engineering with specialisation in upstream, companies are coming for placements so you get chance to get placed. Till now, in this placement season 5-6 companies have come some of them are IT companies working for Oil and Gas industry. For batch of 2016, placements were bit down due to falling oil prices. The highest package offered was by Weatherford Drilling International which was between 18-24 lpa for the job profile of Rig Engineer in Gulf countries....

Aerospace in UPES : A short review of infrastructure, faculty members and placements.

Placements: Internships are compulsory and part of the curriculum in UPES. In personal experience, the University arranges for internships for over 80% students, which is pretty good. It is mostly without stipend. Placement record of UPES in terms of the number of students placed is rather good. But packages offered can vary a lot. The average is not too high, being around 3.5 LPA. As far as aerospace is concerned, there are only a handful of companies that visit for campus recruitments (such as Mahindra,...

Placements: Placements are okay. As the market is running very tight these days, relatively less companies came. Some of them were Royal Dutch Shell, Adani Gas, Weatherford Drilling International, L&T Hydrocarbon, Aveva, Tieto Energy Solutions. In 3rd Year, College provides Summer Internship to students mostly in ONGC and 2-3 students to Schlumberger and Essar respectively. If the student has his/her source then well and good, otherwise ONGC is the last option. Highest Salary was 16.5 Lakhs from WDI, lowest...

Campus : It is WiFi enabled campus with high infrastructure facilities, good sport facilities, Griha 4 star rated campus. Placement : UPES offers good placement opportunities for students, but mostly focuses on IT/ ITES companies, but should focus on core sector companies

The college is located far off the city which gives a perfect picturesque for learning. The campus is very much happening and the crowd is excellent. Faculties are always available for the students so that they can get the maximum advantage. Hostels and facilities are good and the placements are good, owing to the fact that it is the only university that specializes students in a particular domain.

The main attraction towards any high fee private universities are the campus placements. University of Petroleum and Energy Studies is well known for its placements. And it was this feature that attracted me to join this university as most of the students did. Unfortunately it was my worst decision of all.

The college provides ample opportunities to the students to shine. The college has good research facilities and a helpful faculty. More sports facilities should be present in this college. The college should be completely residential, as there was very limited space in the campus hostels. The crowd is a mix of kids from middle class and upper middle class backgrounds, who know how to have fun with limited financial resources.
