What Students Say

Likes

Campus life is amazing and very interactive
Activities & Events conducted are happening

Dislikes

A bit rigid placement process with less possibility of sitting in core companies

Course Curriculum Overview

I chose this MBA program for its industry-focused curriculum, live projects, and internships. Exams are moderate and well spaced. More industry workshops and practical training would further improve learning.

Class Size: 90Course Fees: INR 2000000 per year

Internships Opportunities

The college offers internships in companies like KPMG, Accenture, and ITC across all domains and specialisations. Students also work on live projects, research papers, and business focussed assignments.

Placement Experience

Placements are decent, with an average package of 8-10 LPA. Top recruiters include KPMG, Accenture, Amazon, and ITC. Most students get placed with competitive salary packages, & internships help improve employability.

Fees and Financial Aid

The total fees is 20 Lakhs. They offer various scholarships to students depending on merit, girl child, alumni, etc. The fees are different for different MBA programs, ranging from 16 lakhs to 22 lakhs.

Campus Life

Campus life is vibrant with cultural fests, clubs, and sports activities throughout the year. The library is well stocked, and classrooms are decent, and student clubs provide excellent opportunities for learning & networking.

Admission

I chose UPES due to its value for money (scholarships), industry-oriented curriculum, and decent placement prospects. The admission process was smooth and based on GD/PI performance and entrance exam scores.

Faculty

The faculty are good, well-read, and helpful. The curriculum is relevant and helps students gain industry exposure. Semester exams are moderately difficult, and the pass percentage is generally high for general students.

Interview Experience

The interview was held after the results of different competitive exams were released. The selection was basis the minimum criteria for selection plus the student's performance in the personal interview round.

Night Life

Campus & hostel timings are regulated, with some restrictions for hostel residents. Many students stay in off-campus accommodations for greater flexibility. Cafeterias are popular hangout spots, and the locality is safe & student friendly.

UNFILTERED Student Experience ft UPES

Placement Experience:

The Placements here are decent, 3 out of 4 students are placed here but it solely depends on the student how well versed he/she is throughout the course. Ofcourse the university provides you with ample of opportunities but at the end it's upto the student of well he/she has pushed themselves through it

UPES: Learn, Grow, Deliver and Enjoy

Placement Experience:

There are placement opportunities at the campus. The Career Service Office puts in lots of efforts to get us internships and placements. They ensure they introduce the skills in us right from Day 1. They are up to date and they have a strealined operation already in place. But their job is to facilitate. Placement is one thing which is always subjective. So it depends on the skillset and delivery of the students. But college is doing their part well.

"What I wish I knew before admission"

Placement Experience:

Just after one year completion of the college students get opportunity to be seated for college placements and companies start coming every second or third week to the campus, but even if they are selected for the company, they were asked to go for job in their last semester or may be after completion of college in some cases. Many companies including Deloitte,KPMG, COPSOL, amd 100 more have come to the college and taken students as per their needs, but each company takes 2 to 8 employees and sometimes they don't take students as they need students according to their preferences for their job role. Highest package has been offered till 21 lakhs to student for finance role in the company and average is around 5 to 8 lakhs of packages are there for students for different streams, most companies provide visited in campus are for marketing where the job role is mostly management trainee where they atleast get 5 lakhs of package plus incentives in their job. College was previously affiliated to other university named UTU(Uttrakhand technical University) so students used to get less percentage, maximum percentages used to around 85 to 90% , and only tier 1 companies used to ask for more than 75%. My plans are clear to get placement from the college as I have invested myself and money to the college so I can get good understanding of the course which helps my career, so I want a good placement in marketing role which will be best for me.

College offers ten boys hostels, three girls hostels, and six married hostels. College features a sports and laboratory facility. It features a nice hospital, gym, and traditional store. The campus boasts a pleasant atmosphere in which to learn. It features lovely gardens, lawns, canteens, and clubs. It has a lot of interesting places to see.

Distance Learning Arm of UPES

Admission:

I applied for the college by filling in the detailed application form on the official website. I give the CAT exam but since I didn't got good score and I also had to continue my job I opted for a postgraduate diploma program from this university. UPES is a popular University in Uttarakhand and its distance learning arm offers variety of options in the diploma programme. After approval of my application I was asked to complete the admission formalities post which I got the admission in the program.
