Hello,

Generally, UPES( University of Petroleum and Energy Studies) might have different admission criteria depending on the specific program. Some may require specific JEE Main scores, while others might consider alternative criteria like their own entrance exams (UPES Engineering Aptitude Test), merit in 12th grade or any other factors. Therefore, even if you didn’t qualify for JEE Mains, you might still be eligible for  certain programs at UPES. It’s best to check official UPES site for accurate admission requirements.

I hope this answers helps you!

Hello,

When deciding between NMIT and UPES for a B.Tech in Computer Science, both bring unique strengths.

• NMIT, located in Bangalore, is known for its strong academic curriculum aligned with VTU, good placement records in core IT roles, and a competitive campus environment.
• On the other hand UPES, situated near Dehradun, offers a tech-focused curriculum with specialized electives in areas like AI/ML, data science, and cybersecurity, plus access to emerging industry ties—particularly in logistics and energy IT.

If you prefer a traditional computer science route with Bangalore’s industry access, NMIT might suit you better. If you lean toward sector-specific software applications in niche fields and want a more modern curriculum, UPES could edge ahead. Also weigh in the campus vibe, alumni network, and fee structure before deciding.

Thank you!

Hi dear candidate,

Both of the options are good at their own places for B.Tech, but there are few things that are worth mentioning to differentiate:

UPES:

• Offers multiple specializations that help avail a lot of in depth about the subject like AI, Data Science, Cyber security, graphics and gaming.
• Connections with many industry giants for placements.
• Practical based studies.
• Slightly higher fees.

NMIT

• Slightly affordable fees structure.
• Well reputed in Bangalore.
• Offers good foundation in core computer subjects.
• Lesser competitive in syllabus as compared to UPES.

Overall, UPES looks more promising.

HEY THERE!!

Which to Choose?

UPES is preferable if you desire better placement percentages, updated curriculum with specialisations, and greater international exposure. The highest and average packages are also slightly improved, and the university provides good industry relations and global options.

KIIT is also an excellent private university with a good reputation, good placements, and great campus life. If you like its campus culture or location, it's still a strong option.

In general, UPES has a marginal advantage in placements and industry interaction for Computer Science.

Select according to your preferences: location, charges, campus, and specializations.

Hii,

Both SNU BMS (Shiv Nadar University, Bachelor of Management Studies) and UPES IPM (University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Integrated Program in Management) are excellent choices, but they serve distinct goals.  SNU BMS provides a flexible, broad-based management education centered on innovation.

UPES IPM is highly specialized, providing a combination of management and industrial expertise, particularly in the energy and petroleum sectors.  If you want to pursue a broader managerial career, SNU may be a better option.  If you're interested in energy or petroleum, UPES is a fantastic fit.
