Which one would you choose for studying law: UPES, Dehradun or KIIT, Bhubaneshwar? Why would you choose it?

Among the above institutes, KIIT Bhubaneswar is definitely the best choice for law students, considering almost all the factors except the quality of hostels. I will try to give you some idea about both the institute based on what I heard from my friends who attends these two Law School. 

• KIIT has an excellent reputation. It is older than UPES too. Considering all general aspects like placement, curriculum, facilities, etc, KIIT will surpass UPES. The only thing that UPES will win over is the quality of hostels, which is manageable in KIIT, but far better in UPES.
• The student crowd at KIIT is definitely better than that of UPES. UPES has a peer group similar to that of Amity. 
• An essential aspect that affects the decision of students is the proximity of the institute from their homes or the available connectivity between the college and home. Students, who are first time going out of home for study, should try to stay close to their homes and choose institutes accordingly.
• Considering the placements in law, it totally depends on your inclination towards corporate, individual practice, or the judiciary. KIIT will provide you with the required aptitude for preparation in individual practice or judiciary. But, UPES provides better commercial learning and promotes corporate careers to its students.

Another trying that you should consider while choosing an institute is the distance of your hometown and connectivity. If this is your first time staying away from home, it may be wise to choose an institute nearby. All that being said, do consider the above factors and choose the institute that will provide you enough opportunities to explore what you want.
