UPES

This is a very subjective question since you haven't clarified best in terms of which parameters. Well, I'll try to answer with reference to cost benefit ratio of the amount invested and placement done. For courses like B.Tech you have to invest 15-16 Lakhs in four years and its average CTC was 22.5 LPA as per the reports of 2023-2024. For BCA the investment amount would be 4-5 Lakhs in three years and its average CTC was 14.6 LPA as of 2023-24. For BBA & MBA the investment amount would be 10-12 Lakhs and 16-17 Lakhs respectively and its average CTC was 13.6 LPA & 15.6 LPA respectively. The investment amount for B.DES would be 20-22 Lakhs in four years whereas its average CTC was 12.75 LPA as of 2023-2024. For 5 year LLB (Hons.) programme you have to invest 11.78 Lakhs and the average CTC was 11.7 LPA as per the reports of 2023-24.

For the third and fourth semester you have to pay INR 158000/- as tuition fees and INR 103000/- as academic service fees total of INR 261000/- per semester. For the fifth and sixth semesters the tuition fees would be INR 167000/- and the academic service fees would be INR 110000/- a total of INR 277000/- and for the last two semesters the tuition fees would be INR 176762/- and academic service fees would be INR 117000/- the total would be INR 293762/- per semester.
