School Of Advanced Engineering, UPES, Dehradun All Questions

Hello Amber!

Minimum Cutoff percentile to get admission in UPES Dehradun is 60 percentile. So from Jee Main mode you can get admission in the college.Besides that if in 12 your PCM marks are above 80% then you can also get admission in UPES.

Hope it answer your concerns.

With 67% you won't be eligible to admit at NIT's or IIT's as cannot participate in the JoSAA counseling.

If you are talking of UPES (University of Petroleum and Energy studies) then I would strongly recommend you to consider the other better options like

1. Participation in JAC. - this is the best possible option. As I've heard in this board percentage 65% is taken for eligibility. By this counseling you'll have to get a seat at DTU & NSIT which are equivalent of the Top NIT's of our college.

2. Prpare well for state engineering exams. Exams like WBJEE, UPSE offers pretty decent college. Some of these state colleges stood even a better NIRF ranking then most of NIT's of our country.

3. You can go for board improvement. This is also a vital suggestion because X11th marks holds improtance even your after graduation in exams like CAT or XAT. So improvement of board marks and preparing for JEE mains alongside can be done for a year. This will also enhance your chances of getting a better rank.

Hope it helps. 

Hello Sir.

First of all, the campus is so small that accommodating each and every student in campus hostel is impossible. The campus hostel accommodates about 400 students, The rest all live in PGs, private hostels, flats/houses ranging from 0-20 km away from the university. This is one of the major drawbacks of UPES. You must be wondering why I'm saying it's a drawback. Well, I will clear it out in a few points but before telling you that, let me tell you I have studied in a boarding school, so, I know what are the benefits and fun of living in the same campus. So, why it's a drawback:

1. There's a huge communication gap.
2. Students know their seniors/juniors only if they are from the same hostel / PG or from the same society (drama, computer club, etc) or from mutual friends in most of the cases.
3. There's no community life after 6 PM since everybody goes to their respective hostel / PG which is the most beautiful part of other colleges like IITs, NITs and many more.

Dear Aspirant,

sorry to say but as per eligibilty criteria for B.tech you should clear UPESAT with that you should also have 80% aggregate in 10&12.

so apply for another colleges.

All The Best!!

Hello Sahil,

Shiv Nadar is an emerging university founded by HCL Group. It would be among the top-notch universities of the country in the coming years. The university is too good to be left for any other university. The fee is nominal, placements are extremely good, no. Of students are less, 300 Acres campus in NCR region, no uniform, excellent college life, research-oriented university.

Shiv Nadar is too good.

UPES, on the other hand, was established in 2004. 30 Acres campus in a village 15km from Dehradun. Extremely high fees, no. Of students is too high(1000 in CS), average placements ( 4.5 lakh avg, 10 lakh+ to Approx 30–35 students among 1000).

UPES is also Okay but nowhere when compared to Shiv Nadar University.

Good luck!
