Automotive Design engineering is one of the best course in UPES. It is counted amongst the top 4 branches in UPES namely petroleum engineering Upstream, petroleum engineering Gas, chemical engineering and automotive design engineering. The placement have been very good. Moreover every year the College participate in various events like Baja, Supra, Go-kart etc. The faculty is good and the labs are top of the class with advanced machines.The university does provides hands on training and right exposure in the domain. 

The difference between btech in automobile engineering and automotive design is:

Automotive Engineering is a sub-branch of vehicle engineering. It can also be considered as a sub-branch of mechanical engineering that has split from the main branch focusing on the automotive field of study.

Automobile engineering focuses on the cars. It specifically deals with the designing of cars, operations in production of cars, designing of engines and fuel management. Thus, automobile engineering can be considered as a sub branch of automotive engineering.

However, generally both the branches are used interchangeably to denote a branch dealing with motor vehicles. 

Hope the answer is helpful .
