Review of UPES - University of Petroleum and Energy Studies.

Placements: UPES is a good college, and it offers a lot of specializations in different branches. Placements in our college are quite low from 2018 onwards. UPES offers 45% placements for students. But the college fee is so much that the middle-class family can't afford to invest for their children.

The infrastructure and placements are good. The faculty are friendly providing good guidelines.

Placements: The placements are good on the campus. Almost 88% of the students got placed on the campus. The average salary package was around 4.5 LPA. Around 2-3 students get paid internship, and the rest of them have to manage their own. The college sends your name for an internship for two months, but it is not paid internship as you just get training in the different sectors but a few of them get paid. Overall, the internship placing is 100%.

Overall the development of the students is good whereas the placements are above average.

Placements: During the 3rd year, all the students will get the internship in reputed companies across the country, which gives industrial exposure to students. Moreover, it helps the students to understand and correlate the industrial problems and work with their studies. There are many reputed companies visited the campus for placements during the 7th semester, and around 50% student got placed in 7th semester itself. The rest of the students are placed during the 8th semester. There are 28 out of 37 stude...

Dissatisfied because of the faculty, placements, and the subjects were entirely different.

Placements: This college has fine placements, and the highest package is 8 LPA from our branch. Vedanta, Balaji constructions, SGX minerals, everyone got the internship, and it is not a paid internship. There is a placement cell, its actually good career service providers, and there is no senior batch as we are the first batch.
