UPES

Amongst the two institutions - University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, and Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences, one should blindly go for Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences. This college has very good course structure and provides excellent placement opportunities to the students offering it at HCL, IBM, EMC etc. With the very magnificent facility of Global Exchange programme served even to Design students, the college stands out granting them global design exposure. Looking at UPES, the college is extremely good, however, not for B. Des, because the biggest drawback that anyone can face is that one student can't change his/her branch in second year, if they find their bursting enthusiasm in other branch. Also, the college doesn't have design oriented environment for the students.
The fees of this course at UPES is also additionally comparatively higher than that in the other institute.
If one finds the fee not to be too much hiked then they ought to go for Pearl Academy.

Looking at the past results, no student has been given placement from the college during their final year in M.Des, but they have certainly got Pre-Placement offers from the places they went for internship. The value of course done from here is impeccable which makes a student eligible to get excellent jobs in companies with their made portfolio.
I wouldn't suggest anybody to go for seeking after M.Des from University Of Petroleum and Energy Studies, because the required environment that a Designing student should get is not present here.
Furthermore, also if the placements are bad, no reason would overwhelm to concede affirmation in this college for planning to study even after various great open doors.
If one doesn't get admission in other better college then only one should go for taking admission in UPES for designing keeping it at the last priority. There are much better institutes in the nation like NIDs or Pearl Academy.

Hello Ashwin,
In second year, students are sent for internship to private and government construction companies, design consultant companies and in offshore companies to work and enrich their knowledge. Placements are likewise good where last year students were placed in prominent companies like JLL, Vedanta, TCS, WindForce, Ujaas.
The college has reputed themselves in placements, but I would suggest you to give GATES, and try to enroll in better college if you are looking forward to get impeccable results in placement and overall development.
You should try to get admission in IITs or NITs because the college is good but there are better colleges providing excellent placement opportunities than that provided here.
You still have enough time to prepare for the exam. Do not worry and focus on cracking it. If you don't make into it, then only go for UPES.
