Light on Life at UPES
Likes

- Most of the faculties teaching are actually rather friendly
- Exposure to things that improve your public speaking skills are aplenty
Dislikes
- The fests could be way better than they are
Remarks :
The application form can be found on the official UPES website, where all the details regarding fee and dates are mentioned. There are two exams for each semester, one is the mid-sem examination and the other one is the end-sem examination. The first one happens in the middle of each semester and the second one happens after all the classes for the sem have finished. These exams are not difficult and you can easily at least pass the exam if you do whatever your faculty tells you to
Course Curriculum Overview :
The course is pretty decent. I know for a fact that a lot of students don't like the life skill training subjects in the curriculum but I feel like they're equally important. One good thing I like is that there's no chemistry, which is irrelevant for computer engineering.
Internships Opportunities :
Students are eligible for campus internship after their pre-final year, although I've heard that some things are about to change and the immediate students below the pre-final ones might get internship opportunities as well now. The packages offered by the companies range from about 20k a month to around 80k a month, depending on your skill level. The roles provided are entry level ones and they're selected to expose students to a professional environment.
Placement Experience :
Currently, the placements start about a month after you enter your final year. I obviously don't have any official data regarding which company come and which don't but some of the notable ones I heard that came this year are D.E Shaw, Decathlon, Infosys, Intel etc. The highest recorded package as mentioned by the college for CS is 50 LPA and the average for the same is about 8 LPA. Percentage of students who got placed this year was a bit less, like most of the colleges this year. I plan to take up a job and after gaining some experience, would love to get a second degree
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
There is an entrance exam for taking admission to college. The amount of scholarship we avail at that time can be continued on our tuition fee for the next semesters, provided our GPA is above 8.5. The average fee submitted for a semester is a bit less than 250000. Don't have a lot of idea about financial aid but I'm pretty sure you can avail a student loan.
Campus Life :
I have improved a lot as a person since I joined college last year. I was a decently introverted individual but just getting exposed to a new environment and people, opened me up in a good way. Some fests that happened last year are Freshers, Rocktember, Dholida, Uurja and a Holi celebration. The library of the college is pretty big and it's very convenient to get and return whatever books you want. The classrooms are equipped with a central speaker, a smart board and a normal board.
Faculty :
The faculties are actually friendly and well qualified. Majority of them are great and know what they're doing. They're pretty approachable as well and do listen to whatever doubts and queries students have.

Great college for local students
Course Curriculum Overview :
Curriculum and teaching method should be revised as they are very old and sometimes not even match the basic industrial requirement. More industrial oriented subject should be introduced in the curriculum and labs should get more weightage.
