Overall, I believe the college's experience and reviews will be negative. 

Placements: Placements are not up to the mark. They have very poor placements. Companies that have been mentioned in the brochure do not come for the placements, and the packages that the students are offered are also very poor. One should not fall into the trap of saying that the college provides good placements.

Review of The School of Law, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies.

Placements: Our senior batch students had a good placement record. Students were satisfied by their placements. There were a lot of placement opportunities. The placement cell of the college invites many companies. The college now offers better placements. I am hoping that they would make it even better by the time of our graduation.

UPES-Not worth The money and poor placements.

Placements: Placements for senior batches were not so good earlier on. The highest salary package offered was 8 LPA, the lowest salary package offered was around 2 LPA and the average salary package offered was 4-5 LPA. Due to the poor placements, a few students took part in the campus drives. There is a placement cell, and it is efficient for the students as Mr Manish Madan heads it.

The infrastructure is good but I'm dissatisfied with faculty and placements.

Placements: The placement assistance for our batch was not good. Almost less than 20% of the students got placed in core companies, and rest had to either move for higher studies or join an IT company. Internships in good core companies were very limited, and the majority of the batch was sent to different locations of ONGCs assets.

Please don't get attracted to the college's fake publicity.

Placements: In the batch of 2014-2018, 40 out of 60 students got placed. Only one student got placed in a core company with a package of 9 LPA. The rest joined in IT companies with a package of 3-4.8 LPA. So, it's not worthy to join this college as the cost to benefit ratio is very low. So, please refrain from joining.

Our college is just like that of Amity University, Noida.

Placements: We have very bad campus placements regarding the pay scale as well as companies and designations. It's easier to get internships on our own with a better pay scale than the campus placements provided in this university. They give no proper training to crack the interviews.

Dissatisfied with the college, there is an unexpected increase in the college fee.

Placements: Till now, the placements in our college are very poor. The average package offered is around 3 LPA. They focus only on the marks and doesn't help in the overall development of the student. Our college doesn't help with co-curricular activities and sports. Our college doesn't support the students for their innovative ideas.

One of the many thugs amongst all the private colleges.

Placements: Placements for the toppers of my senior batches came up to 60,000/-. Not a lot of wrll developed companies visited due to problems related to terrain as the college is situated at a troublesome location. Maximum 3 companies visited, rest all were small ventures. The result of this college is not worth the money one pays.

The money spent can better be invested elsewhere.

Placements: In the present Era of Corporate Industrialization, the campus placement is an important criteria in choosing a College or University to get a Degree. Regarding the placements at UPES, until 2016 UPES was a steadily growing and a decent University to opt for. However, in the year 2016, there was a change in the Management and the UPES was taken over by Laureate International Universities. Post the takeover, the quality element at the University was compromised for quantity, i.e. the earlier intak...

Dissatisfied because of faculty and lack of good people.

Placements: Very few companies come for placements in law and basically no big companies just start ups. Also the packages they provide are not very good, usually within the range of 2.9 lacs- 3.2 lacs. The senior batch recently got placed and only about 33% of the students were placed which is not too much as the crowd at the college is increasing every year due to addition of new courses.

A review on Private University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun.

Placements: The college provides very bad placements. No good companies come for campus placements. Those companies which come have very minimal packages even for the top scoring students. A few good placements were available in core branch of petroleum and few branches in B.Tech. So, choose wisely.

A college whose very own employed proctor says it is better to invest 5 lakh rupees a year elsewhere

Placements: The percentage of students placed is high,. Well that is only because they let a select few students to sit for placements. The college average package for a student is 3.75 which is even lesser than what a student pays here for an year. And they offer campus placements, which is another reason why most teachers leave mid semester and hang the students with due courses.

Dissatisfied with the fees that they charge and all the money is going in vain.

Placements: The placements are not great. Very few companies come to the college for the aerospace engineering branch. I've not seen much students get placed with a good package here. This branch is new in this college, so it is not highly recommended to do aerospace engineering from this college.

The reality of University of Petroleum and Energy Studies.

Placements: The placements are not so good. Students from non-IT branches are placed in IT companies because the core companies do not come to the college and some companies already blackout the college. Students are placed at a low salary, therefore most of students apply for higher studies.

The first mistake of my life is joining in UPES. Stay away from my college for the better future.

Placements: It was a disaster. The college couldn't provide enough placements for our seniors. The core companies didn't visit the campus till now. They are forcing us to sit for IT companies placement. The whole department is like a dustbin, you cant get any help from the department. All the faculty members are interested in their own business.

Basically an expensive side option.

Placements: As far as I have seen or heard about the placements of this college are very poor and primary. UPES is a growing college and unless until the next few years it changes dramatically, it has not proceeded much in the placements sector. We are all hoping that the placements get better by the time we graduate.

Absolutely dissatisfied by the management system but it has good faculty.

Placements: The placements for the students in BBA digital marketing is not at all good. They show 100% of placements, but what is the need if good companies are not coming for BBA digital marketing. At least, the companies which are coming to the college are genuine. The college is costly, as you have to pay 2 lakhs for 1 academic year, and still, the placements are not up to the mark.

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 ...

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...

Placements: The placements are just okay as compared to the fee. I would recommend other colleges until it is the last option. Placements for APE, ADE, and CCVT branches are good though. Specialised courses would be recommended (branches like ADE, APE, CS branches, aerospace engineering, etc).
