Hello Aspirant,

It depends on your priority. UPES Dehradun offers well-known specialized courses in Computer Science (AI, Cyber Security, Cloud Computing) and also has good linkages with the industry particularly in emerging technology fields. The placement statistics for niche fields is better, but the fees are generally higher.

Manipal University Jaipur, on the other hand, offers a well rounded but traditional CSE program, the Manipal brand and reputation, moderate faculty, and fast developing infrastructure. It's cheaper and gets a fair number of placements in core IT roles like Developer, Cloud Engineer, etc. If you are looking into specialized domains and have the money to spend, UPES may be the best option for you. If you are looking for a balanced value-for-money education with good placements, MU Jaipur is a solid alternative.
