What a CAMPUS. It’s the stuff that we only saw in the movies. Well maintained, clean campus, scenic routes and good facilities.It’s a bit away from the main city and that’s the way how it should be. Located in the midst of the mountain range - they have their own hostel campus that I personally believe is good for the first year to help new students get adjusted into hostel life.

I strongly advise students and parents to think twice before considering admission to UPES. While the university boasts a scenic campus and a wide array of courses, the reality of life here is far from what is marketed. The administrative system is highly unresponsive and often inefficient. Simple issues can take weeks or even months to get resolved, if they’re addressed at all.The teaching quality varies greatly from department to department, and many students feel that the curriculum is outdated and not aligned with current industry standards. Placement statistics are often misleading, and many students end up struggling to find relevant job opportunities despite having paid high tuition fees. Career support services are minimal, and student concerns are frequently ignored.Extracurricular activities and student initiatives are also poorly managed. While there are occasional events, they rarely contribute meaningfully to student growth or exposure. It often feels like the focus is more on projecting an image than actually improving the student experience.Please don’t be swayed by the glossy brochures or promotional campaigns. Speak with real students and alumni before making a decision. In my honest opinion, UPES is not worth the investment of your time, energy, or money.

Based on the first glimpse (OPEN DAY 2025)The campus was clean, however the hostels were expensive for what they are.The organisation of cabs for the exploration of the campus buildings were not sufficient, thus parents and their children had to scramble/walk here and there.The labs looked really good too. This review is only based on only outside looks.
