Remarks:
Eligibility for the course is through two exam results that I've done after completing the 12th that is 1)GUJCET 2)JEE I got very fewer marks in both exams but still civil seats are empty there so I got admission in the third round conducted by University. I find the application form for the university by visiting there as well as Gujarat Government issued choice filling admission process so there I choose this university in the first place. The admission process was really fair and easy to understand so I like the admission process conducted by the university and I'm happy with that.

Remarks:
My admission process was through ACPC (the body which fills seats in Gujarat's engineering colleges). In ACPC merit is 50% of the Board's marks and 50% of Gujcet (Gujarat competitive exam for PCM/PCB) marks. Merit is made by multiplying 0.5 * Board's percentile + 0.5 * Gujcet percentile. My overall merit came to 94 and I got CS in this college. Generally, it requires a 2k rank to get CS in this college. Eligibility is just the PCM course in 12th. The application forms will be updated on the ACPC site generally after 10-15 days of the result announcement. Reservation is EWS, OBC, ST and SC. The admission process was smooth and no real problem was faced.

Ques
Which college should be preferred UPES Dehradun or PDPU Gandhinagar?
Ans
According to the reviews online, both colleges have their own pros and cons, and here are some comparison points which might help you make an informed decision.
The location of both the colleges are good, be it Gandhinagar or Dehradun.
The UPES campus is much bigger compared to the PDPU campus. But both are well maintained and facilitated.
PDPU provides B.Tech in Petroleum Engineering while UPES provides the same in Applied Petroleum Engineering. The former is considered to be far better and more advantageous than the latter.
Curriculum of PDPU is very well prepared encompassing all major aspects. It has now been bifurcated into upstream and downstream.
Placements at PDPU are much better compared to UPES.
PDPU is visited by core companies like ONGC but UPES is mostly famous for its relevance among IT companies like Accenture, Wipro, etc.
Lastly, it can be seen that PDPU, even being a newer institution has grown a lot compared to other colleges. They are visited by core companies which hire students offering them a salary package of 14-15 LPA. So, it will be better if you go for PDPU as it will give you proper industrial exposure and opportunities.
