I have passed out from UPES pursued B.TECH-CS with specialization in Cloud Computing & Virtualization Technology 2015 Batch.
This question is a big myth in deciding whether a college is good or not. Being in elite colleges doesn’t guarantee you a higher placement offer until & unless you are qualified enough with the knowledge for the company & position you are applying for.
The knowledge gained in entire 4 years of a specialized course in CS is a great opportunity to learn the latest technologies & create your own path out of it. Having said that the top placement (on campus) for CSE was offered by Dell more than 6+LPA. Apart from that on campus placement average was around 3.5 LPA. Though students who have good knowledge applied via online sites for off-campus & got selected in various companies and are offered more than 6LPA.
Note: It’s your choice how you want to make a career out of the resources you have 🙂
EDIT 1 – It’s been over 2 years since I have passed out of the university, so this answer doesn’t reflect the current status of Placements at UPES.
