Placements: Less than 50% of the students get placed. Students mostly lack basics about the subject. Though teachers prepare you well for the interview, students tend to mess up. As a student, you cannot solely rely on campus placements only. You need to have a backup plan as well.

Infrastructure: There are a lot of facilities provided by the college. This university has very nice infrastructure. You'd love to chill inside the campus more than chilling outside. Winters here are heaven. Classrooms are top-notch. Though ACs and heaters don't work, they are just for show. Wi-Fi too sometimes messes up, but it’s rare. Hostel food has a lot of variety. Hostel buildings and rooms are very well built as well as clean.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified and knowledgeable. They are polite and open-minded (of course, there are some exceptions). Overall, they are really helpful, encouraging, and motivating. Exams, though, for law students are a bit more challenging than the rest.

Other: I chose law as my family’s background was in law, so I have always been inclined towards law. Feasts are not that great, like a good 6/10.

Not worth it as the fees is high.

Placements: Around 60% of students secured internships, primarily with leading tech companies and startups like Tech Mahindra, Capgemini, and Cognizant. The average package range was between 6-8 LPA. Common roles included Software Engineer, Data Analyst, and Cloud Engineering.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at UPES Dehradun is well-equipped for students in technical and engineering courses. The campus provides high-speed Wi-Fi across classrooms, libraries, and labs, ensuring students have access to online resources. The labs are modern and fully outfitted with the necessary equipment, supporting practical learning for various specializations. Classrooms are spacious, well-lit, and equipped with smart boards, enhancing the interactive learning experience.

Faculty: The faculty members are knowledgeable and accessible. The exams are moderately challenging and designed to test both theoretical knowledge and practical application, ensuring that students grasp core concepts effectively. The pass percentage is reasonably high for those who engage with the course material. Additionally, adequate resources, such as extra tutorials and study sessions, are available to help students succeed.

Other: The UPES campus is located in a scenic setting and is close to natural attractions. However, it can be somewhat isolated from the city. The campus offers a variety of extracurricular and sports activities, but could use more variety and dedicated space. Scholarship options are available for eligible students.

Absolutely satisfied with the faculty members and campus area.

Placements: Yes, there are a considerable number of students being placed at the university. However, the packages the students receive are not what they expect at the time of joining the law school. Recruiters like JSA, LKS, and Khaitan, etc., conduct interviews from the 9th semester onward.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the campus is excellent, giving it a vibrant and scenic ambiance typical of UPES in the hill station of Dehradun. The campus provides good facilities and has a dedicated cleaning staff. However, the Wi-Fi can be somewhat problematic at times. There are various indoor and outdoor games available for students.

Faculty: Since the beginning of our semester, the faculty members of the law department have been very helpful to us. When we entered our 6th semester, they assisted us greatly in choosing our specialization by mentoring us for the same. Additionally, the faculty are highly educated and provide us with a lot of knowledge.

Other: The law festivals held in our college are of good quality, and the sponsors for those events are good, with performances by well-known artists.

UPES: EXPLORE THE PLACE FOR OPPORTUNITIES.

Placements: Currently, we have 35 students in our batch. We have been enrolled this year. Top recruiting companies are Reliance Industries, ONGC, Cairn India, Oil India Limited, Bharat Petroleum Limited, TotalEnergies, Schlumberger, and Halliburton. Top roles are reservoir engineer, drilling engineer, production engineer, petroleum geologist, and project engineer. The highest package is 15–25 lacs, the average package is 8–12 lacs, and the lowest package is 4–6 lacs. Around 65%–80% of students got internships among the following companies: ONGC, Cairn India, and Reliance Industries Limited, etc.

Infrastructure: It has a range of facilities and infrastructure designed to support academic as well as practical learning. UPES has specialized laboratory facilities for drilling, production, and reservoir engineering. Classrooms are well-lit with punching machines for attendance, but both campuses face difficulties in the case of a weak Wi-Fi signal around the campus. Libraries are equipped with proper sitting facilities and all sorts of fiction and nonfiction books.

Faculty: The faculty members were quite helpful, and mostly they are Ph.D. holders, and their notes were helpful in the semester exams. The course is well-designed according to industry requirements and standards, and internships provide diverse knowledge in every sector. Semester exams are quite moderate, each and every question is taught in the lectures, and 75% are able to fulfill the passing criteria.

Other: The main advantage of choosing this college was its placements, internships, and location, which were all suitable for me as I had to pursue my course in B.Tech in Petroleum, and it had tie-ups with some of the renowned institutions, such as ONGC, etc., and its NIRF ranking in the engineering sector is great. I would like to focus more on practical projects and some tours to understand the culture and work-life balance of a petroleum engineer. There are events like Utsav, a campus surrounded by greenery, and scholarships for both boys and girls on the basis of JEE/12th results and for domiciles of Uttarakhand.

Review of University of Petroleum and Energy Studies.

Placements: Almost 80 to 85% of the students get placed with an average CTC of around 5–6 lacs. The highest package offered was 50 lacs. Top recruiters at UPS were Hyundai, Being Human, and Ericsson. Students do get huge opportunities for internships and getting an internship solely depends on the individual.

Infrastructure: UPES does provide facilities like libraries, labs and well-furnished classrooms. In reality, I don't know much about on-campus hostel facilities because I opted for flats around the campus but a few of my friends do live on campus and according to them, the food quality is good. The menu keeps changing every week and they also have Wi-Fi connections with all kind of necessary things like almirah, bedding, etc.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful and highly qualified at UPES. Teaching methodology differs from teacher to teacher but in general they teach you the concepts using a smart board with presentations that are made by the teachers, and they also share the same presentation with us. Semesters are moderately difficult; if one has basic knowledge about the subjects, he can easily pass the exams.

Other: I chose B.Tech. because I have a keen interest in technology, AI and data science. UPES's yearly fest "UURJA" is held in the month of November; last time Darsha Rawal was the main guest. We do have sports events called "SPANDAN, Dholida for Navratri, Halloween party and many more. Talking about connectivity, the mountains/landour/laal Tibba are just 30 km away from the campus. You can go and enjoy the snowfall during December-January.

Less opportunities are provided.

Placements: I am a first-year student, so the internship opportunities in college are limited, as I am also in love with my seniors so they told me that the placement this year is not going up to mark. The company is coming but is not recruiting the students. The big companies are coming to our campus but many students are taking admission this year so recruiting opportunities are less.

Infrastructure: The college has great infrastructure; they have the proper classrooms, labs and Wi-Fi facilities. The canteen is also so affordable and the food quantity is also good in Upes. The proper gaming facility is provided; the basketball and volleyball fields are property-maintained.

Faculty: The teachers are good, supportive and very knowledgeable; they follow the proper course curriculum; they make students visit the industry, but the college has certain charges for the industry visit, which are quite high, which may not be possible for every student to visit.

Other: The finance sector is the fastest-growing sector in every industry so I chose to go into finance.
