Well I did my B.tech from CSE at UPES and I’m 2018 pass out. So I’m perfectly eligible to answer this question.
The placement part at UPES and that too in CSE is a bit tricky here. Now you are thinking that Why it is so? So I can answer your “Why?”
Before talking about placements let me tell you a fact which eventually help you in understanding the placements scenario and the future placements also.
UPES provides various specializations in CSE. Like there were 7 branches of CSE till 2012. After that every year 1 or 2 or 3 are added up in the list. In the year 2013, 7 branches goes to 10 and then in 2015 10 to 13 and there are total 16 branches of CSE at present.
For the placement year 2016 around 280 students were there. Then in the year 2017 the numbers increased to somewhat around 400-450 and this year 2018, there were total of 600 students. As you can see with addition of specializations number of students is also increasing. And one more thing I like to add in the list is that the University is increasing the intake of students like earlier if branch is having 40-50 seats, now the same branch is having around 100 seats. So, the scenario is there is a huge increasing curve in the number of students.
