School of Computer Science, UPES Dehradun Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

The college infrastructure is top-notch. Modern buildings and a great cafeteria is available. The labs have all the necessary equipment. The quality of food in the hostel is great. There is an infirmary in the college providing all the first-aid necessary.

The college has extremely supportive faculty willing to clear all the doubts and answering all questions you have. The course curriculum is always updated to be relevant to the time and situation. It makes the students industry-ready. The teaching quality is amazing, and the faculty are knowledgeable.

The placement percentage is more than 90% which is a nice number. Packages offered are ranging from 10-25 lacs per annum. It is a great course to pursue. Companies like L&T, Hindustan Petroleum, HCL, Wipro and others come here to recruit students. Junior developer, assistant developer, are some of the roles offered.

The yearly fees will nearly be about 1.8 lacs and that of hostel depends upon the choice you made. They provide a decent experience which is worth according to my understanding. Though the fee structure is quite complex and can be a high to some students so watch it.

Life at the campus is very good. You are surely going to enjoy the environment here. There is a library in the hostel that contains a large number of books that you can use to enhance your knowledge. Moreover, the college has certain clubs and organizes sports & extra-curricular activities twice a week. Events and fests are also stunning.

UPES provides you with the beauty of nature as well as the great work environment. Surrounded with the hills, UPES is having two campuses namely, Bidholi and Kandoli. The campuses give the best and enthralling essence of nature. It is having seven schools under it, and have at least one building for each schools.

Well when it comes to UPES we have a really great and cooperative faculty and academic is not that bad and have good ambience of studies. We have certain certified branches which I have interest. Some teachers are very kind and some are very rude. So, academic will stand somewhere in between because it's the academics who makes a university a good university.

No, the campus placements would continue to be very much the same where handful would get good jobs while the rest would either remain jobless or do low paying jobs. Students pursuing CS/IT related courses can get referrals in off-campus drives for the top product based companies while studying at some other university as well. I can't recommend anyone to take admission here because placements aren't good.

Waste, paying such high fees and what you get in return? Nothing equal to fees you have paid. Most of the companies visiting campus offers packages around 3-5 LPA which is too low in today's world. Talking about how many companies visit campus more than 10 LPA are only limited to single digit. During my time only 4 visited. If you have 5 colleges then keep this college at last because they take very high amount and don't provide that worth to you.

It offers you specializations in various fields, that give you exposure to the latest techniques. Masterclasses, frequent webinars, and seminars are delivered by experts from all over India, and industrial visits are organized for the students. They are providing 25% scholarship on tuition fees for girls only and I don't know why not for boys they have the same thing.

Facilities are very good here, and there is a good food court. Our college has a huge sports playground with equipment for almost all games. There is a huge library, and the entire college is situated in between mountains, so there is a great view. The infrastructure is top-class, and students studying here are from different states and countries. The quality of the food served is very good.

All the teachers here are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Every teacher is best in their field of specialization. Their teaching quality is also very good as they conduct best-in-class practicals and hands-on. Faculty members are very helpful and great. The course follows the latest trends in technologies with specialization in the latest technology domains. It makes students industry-ready.

About 94% of the students got placements from our course. The highest salary package offered was 45 LPA. Top recruiters for our course were TCS, Infosys, Hitachi, HCL, Nagarro, ZS Associates, Cognizant, TTN, etc. Students got internships in Foxmula, Blitz, TTN, WatchGuard, Wipro, VMware, Rakuten, etc. Top roles offered here were junior developer, associate developer, programmer trainee, BTA jobs and project manager.

Yes, they are giving the quality which is required as a student. A nice campus, a great environment, a spacious library, classrooms, washrooms, and also providing a decent package which a student wish for. Money is high if you compare it with other colleges but it's not that they are not giving worth for your money. It's worth studying here.

Campus life is good. There is a lot of greenery and a fresh atmosphere. The annual fest is happening in college students can take part in many activities. Library facility is available students can borrow books for whole semester almost every book is available there. The classroom is well maintained. Sports are available for students such as Volleyball, Badminton, and football, etc. Many extra-curricular activities happen on-campus students can take part accordingly.

Classrooms are okay not too good. Labs are okay and libraries are just okay irrespective of the hefty money we pay. Campus hostel is the worst and too expensive, food is the worst, bathroom is shared by six on one floor, laundry guys charges for each cloth which means laundry is not included in the hefty hostel fee. Medical facilities are not good, they just ask to buy medicines from outside like why are you there then when we have to buy medicine from pharmacy only why do you even exist?

Teachers just exist like this is some side job, they are not serious about our future. Teachers have average knowledge and no guidance or support could be expected, this is a capitalist world. It makes student average not ready for anything. Course curriculum is relevant. But teachers hardly teach properly and after online classes have begun it is just for formality.

About placements, on paper, it is claimed that 94% of placements were given but I don't think it's true. The highest and the lowest packages were 15 Lacs per annum and 4 lacs per annum. IBM, Wipro, Infosys, TCS are the top companies that visited. Most students got internship under tech companies which is nice.

I choose it believing I would get to know a lot and learn technology from good teachers. It never happened here. Please be a little logical, serious and helpful about learning it would be a great help. Events are not so good. Campus is okay. Crowd is diverse but not bright Scholarship is equal to nothing at all Extra curriculum activities are basic. So, I just can't say that it's worth your money.

The annual fest which is held by the university is UURJA in which all the university from both the campus take part, Also there are small events like sports events and many more conducted by the university. Talking about clubs; there are many clubs for all the branches which conduct their won small events and encourage students to take part in them for their skill development as well as for fun.

First when I seen it I didn't believe it that a private college has such a nice library. UPES library consists of more than one lac books, which is quite thing for students. As a Computer Science student it feels great to work on the systems in the labs. The configuration on the system are just great. They provide Linux to work on. Unlike it's location UPES has provided a wonderful sports equipment and facilities. They also have many sports events going on every month to keep students active.

UPES has a very good reputation for its studies. Although some times they overdo but this is also for the sake of students and their reputation. There syllabus is updated every year to get better education to students. Since last past one year what I faced that UPES faculties are just ok they guide you, motivates you in every step although there are not many highly qualified among them but still some of them are quite good. This one is my own personal experience.

UPES placement is in fact, amazing. However, you have to work hard to get placed in one of the MNCs that come in the college every year. I have seen a lot of my batchmates bad mounting the university when it comes to being placed, even though they didn't prepare for it.

Yes indeed it is value of you money. The money is bit is high if we compare with other colleges but not that much after all it requires money to run a university and provide this quality in a private college. It have teachers from IITs so I think it's worth it to invest your money for doing graduation here.

Most universities only care about finishing off the syllabus before the semester ends. I understand how important that is, but it leaves no space for any industry based knowledge. However, in UPES, there are plenty of guest lectures, industrial visits, projects, debates, and much more. This helps the student experience the industry of their course of choice firsthand.

The university is located amidst the picturesque Himalayas in Dehradun. The location is great as the university is secluded and spacious. In winters, the place becomes even more beautiful and becomes a perfect setting to study with your warm tea. The university is secluded from the city making it free from the hustle-bustle and commotion.

The faculty at UPES is the most helpful bunch of educators I have ever come across. The professors understand that most of us are away from our homes and tend to get homesick often. There have been times that many teachers have comforted and taken care of students when they are going through a rough patch. Also, the teachers are willing to help you at any time when you need them for anything curriculum related. The teachers go out to their way to clear out any doubts even after the class.

Many people on this thread might not know that UPES is the only and the first university in the nation to be awarded QS 5 stars for employability. UPES has a fantastic placement cell with companies like HCL, IBM, TCS and many more that hire multiple students every year. The students also get offered an excellent salary package and a reputable position in the company.

Rarely any other universities in India take the effort of providing its students with industrial exposure. However, UPES gives students industrial exposure in the form of industrial visits, guest lectures, projects, workshops and much more. So, I will say that it's worth your money. I would say that they are giving the amount of exposure for the money they are taking from us.

Thanks to UPES, I kickstarted my career with a great organization through the university placement process. Also, I recently read that UPES has partnered with some global academic institutes to provide students who were unable to get placed, a chance to study abroad. The best part is that UPES will bear the cost of education. Also, the fests, events, tournaments they organize on a large scale and involve students to organize them.

Labs are a big mess here as the college is always in a hurry to plan one construction after another. They should have structured the building in a good way. Equipment don't work in labs but I must say that cleaning is good. Halls, Auditoriums, Classes, Cafes are always clean. So, no compromise with the hygiene.

The biggest problem is that the college administration seems careless and indifferent towards any of these problems and if things will continue in a similar manner, I don't see the college surviving in the long run. Regarding attendance they are always on flip flop between manual and card punching system of UPES. Some faculty debars students based on online attendance some based on manual attendance. In nut and shell if you are attending classes then also you can be debarred.

After another year at the college, the only thing that I can say is that this college is going down to the grave. The number students in most branches has increased, The college management does not seem capable enough to deal with this increasing number of students. The condition has worsened to such a level that the college is not able to provide decent internships to the students of almost all the branches, let alone the placements. You are expected to be grateful to get an placement here.

This is too expensive and at this amount no matter how much you give the value but you just can't give a value worth this money. So, this is really necessary for UPES to lower the amount because it will not work in long run. No one these days want to spend so much money in graduation.

In many cases after the semester is ended there is always a course or lab which is not conducted throughout the semester and you still manage it proudly. Great managements. I don't claim all but 80% faculties of UPES are worthless. Neither they know how to teach nor how to handle students. They will force you to spend full 2 hours in a lab which is not fit for spending 15 minutes also. They start any course without any on ground preparation just because we fool students take admission in that.

Poor, You will never know where the college began and where it ended. Most of the lab equipment are faulty especially the ones in the electronics and the physics department. However, workshops, fluid dynamics lab and chassis lab are not that bad. But, NO auditorium, For anyone who disagrees, Vivekanand Audi is no better than a classroom.

Fairly good, there is always a teacher that is there to listen to your problems. I have faced teachers who motivate you to the fullest and help you in your endeavors but there will be some who will ask you to mug up the things or else you will fail. The college never stops you from pursuing your ideas but it never helps you. Various guest lecture and some medium level workshops are OK. It is the projects that help you grow.

If you are good enough you will definitely get placed. If not, Infosys, TCS and HCL are waiting. If you still don't get placed, you know that you have wasted 4 years of your life that are not going to come back with a whole lot of money. Up until now, 75% students in the top branches get placements in core companies including RND sector. But placements will be tougher in the coming years as there is a sharp increase in the number of students in every branch with every passing year.

Yeah it is very true that college is too damn expensive and it is not just the tuition fee, there will be many fees that you won't see coming your way. Courses specializations are just names to the traditional branches. A little more focus is given to the specialization, but it is more or less the same.

Sorry UPES, but this is the one thing that you are really bad at. UURJA and Ignite are nowhere near any technical event that you hope for. The reason is that college never motivate the students to actively participate. Instead, if you have curt teacher, you might be threatened to get debarred. Yes, 75% attendance is must. There is also a cricket tournament which is actually good.

College is designed in a very simple and attractive way. They provide all the facilities there and make you wonder how a campus can be so beautiful. Security guard are always there on the gate which provides security and safety. Hostel students aren't allowed to exit the hostel after evening. Libraries are also very wonderful and provides a very good environment to study. Classrooms and washrooms are also very clean and hygienic.

Academics are really good and teachers are very supportive. They provide us a lot of study material which is very useful to score good in the exams. Curriculum is also designed in a very productive manner as they have placed the right kind of subject at right place. You can check out the course curriculum on their website.

Placements are nice and they promises 100% placement record. Many companies visit our college so you don't need to apply for off campus placements as you will get your dream company inside the campus. They are doing the job to invite as many companies as possible very well. Highest package last to last year was 45 lakhs which is really nice.

Yes they are giving us good value at this cost so you can try this college. They have invest lot of money in making the campus and it's worth it in doing your graduation or even post graduation from here.

We have a lot of events and fests which will give you a warming experience and make your campus life beautiful. All the students, teachers and support staff are good and take care of students. The location where campus is is very good and beautiful.

Yes the infrastructure is outstanding. This is just crazy to have a campus from where you can see mountains, hills, and what could be the greater place can be. It is a great experience to live there. All the facilities are provided like WIFI, smart boards, and everything one can think of. Libraries are also big and have all the facilities. We have Biometric book issue facility which lets you issue any book easily.

I found all the teachers and staff members very supportive and they do understand this thing that students are investing lot of money so they try their best to provide that quality. Management is also good they listen your problems and help you. Course curriculum is updated and it includes all the recent developments in the field and it makes us job-ready.

Placements is the thing which mostly rely upon students performance so if you study well you will get the good placement also company will seek you if you are topper of your batch. So, try to be in top 10 and maintain your CGPA, don't let your CGPA go down than 8 otherwise many company will deprive you for placements.

Indeed, the value is great like they take a nice amount but they are also providing you that value like good campus infrastructure, great faculties, fests and events they organize. So, I would suggest you to take admission here if you don't have any money problem.

Campus life is just exceptional. It's marvelous and it feels very special to be a part of that. I participated in many events which makes me develop my skills. So, you should too without participating in those events it's just waste for you. If you are giving them money take on every opportunity to make it worth.
