UPES was formed in 2003 with a goal to provide various specialised programs that
meet the needs of India’s higher education sector. We have an esteemed reputation for
providing students with the best academic expertise, which is combined with a vast
swath of disciplines, which focus on promising areas that exhibit higher growth.
The courses offered at UPES are designed to hone the skills of students by providing them with
global exposure and hands-on expertise. UPES was established to provide customised,
industry aligned programs with the goal of developing a strong talent pool for India’s growth
needs. This has since evolved to meet the global talent needs of leading MNCs across the
globe.
The university achieves a sense of pride in endowing students with specialised and
exclusive certifications in petroleum engineering and energy systems as well.
UPES, accredited by NAAC and recognised by UGC, assures credibility to the students
and their parents. Our high-quality campus, spread over 44 acres in Dehradun, is
dedicated to meeting the ever-changing needs of students and offer a quality level of
education. Our faculty of over 500 members has been selected from world-renowned
institutes for our students to give them some much-needed global exposure.
Students at UPES can benefit immensely from our partnerships with industry leaders
like IBM, L&T, Xebia, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. and Philips Carbon
Black. To put it into context; in 2017, we placed 91% of our graduates in reputed
organisations with positive feedback from the recruiters. Our international
collaborations facilitate curriculum inputs, guest lectures, internships opportunities, and
joint research & projects to build a strong industry-academia connect. The
collaborations present are in the form of joint seminars, faculty exchange programs,
joint research, review of various PhD theses, and a mutually-beneficial exchange of
scientific publications.
Rigorous and active learning through theoretical knowledge, real-world operations and
relevant industry exposure remain a common aspect across all constituent schools of
UPES.
