If you want good opportunities later on, look else where. Consider UPES for design only if you have no other options.
UPES, being an engineering focused university, there just isn’t the proper design school atmosphere. Everything here is restricted. The workshops are equipped only for name sake with a hand countable number of machines. Materials on the other hand are super scarce. The classrooms are way too small to accomodate the number of people coming in the new session.
Coming to the classes, the faculty is average to best describe. As there is a limited faculty, they have to cater to all the different year students. No one really bothers about you, so it’s all about what you do and how you manage your resources that matters here. But on the bright side, some of the guest/visiting faculty are really good, and a lot can be learnt from them.
Other than academics, the campus is small and boring, but set in a beautiful place. This place is a paradise for nature lovers. Since it’s on top of a hill nestled in between a village, food options are very limited. So is the transport, unless if you have your own vehicle.
To conclude, if you are determined to achieve a specific goal in life, look elsewhere. But if it’s just the degree you are after, SoDS UPES serves it perfectly!
