I am a student of Btech program in UPES and the academic programmes are not good and just a way to earn money, my branch is INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY and you wont believe there is no experience faculty of it subjects and they dont even know coding and doesnt teach anything in class and often doesnt come only.
The administration is very poor and biased, this university never accepts teachers fault and always show the student as culprit and whatever improvement you will suggest or try to do would be never noticed or executed.
This is the only university that does not have any extra curriculum activities to motivate the child or give an exposure of outer world.
This universitys alumni network is very weak and has a lot of loop holes.
I would suggest you to never take admission in this university and there is an inside flaw that I will tell you that they earn by making the students fail in exam, they intentionally fails the students and then charge them with Rs 5000 per subject and in one sem they fail around 4000-5000 students, now I can left the calculation part for you.
Seriously guys if you want to live a satisfied life and dont want to regret, please dont join this university.
