Tech, Aerospace Engineering from here as it has one of the best faculties. In order to secure admission here, I had to work really hard and appeared for JEE. It was my good score in it which helped me to land here. Everything about this institute is the best.” Read more on UPES Student Vani’s Review

“The overall course curriculum was very broad even though the course clearly stated it as a specialization in Process Design. Most of the subjects were advanced versions of the majority of subjects one would learn in the undergraduate curriculum. Before joining I aimed at specializing in the Process design area of Chemical Engineering, however, the course was very robust with advanced versions of main topics like Thermodynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer, and Reaction Engineering. The biggest highlight was the faculty who taught the courses. Subjects were taken by Distinguished Faculties from IITs and the mode of instruction was way different from conventional techniques. This made the overall learning experience great.” Check more on UPES Student Kirti G Pillai's Review
