I am strongly against judging a college solely on the basis of placements. Placements should never be the major criteria for evaluating the credibility and worth of an institute. Rather, you should look for the college that has excellent records of international competitions, and which are known to offer better opportunities as a whole for personality development.
If it’s only placements you are concerned about, then please consider joining MUJ as it has a better placement scenario than UPES, and is expected to improve more so.
