UPES B.Tech Automotive Design Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Admission to the University of Petroleum & Energy Studies (UPES) requires candidates to take the UPESEAT exam or submit JEE scores, followed by a counseling process based on seat availability. Candidates must have at least 60% in both 10th and 12th grades, with no direct admissions. The process includes an interview and evaluation of entrance and academic scores. Faculty at UPES are highly qualified, with a focus on practical and interactive learning, though teaching quality can vary. Attendance is mandatory at 75%, and exams match class teachings. The B.Tech course fee is around 15 Lakhs, and total expenses including hostel reach about 20 Lakhs over four years. Fees have doubled recently and increase by about 10% annually. NRI students face higher fees, and different branches have varying costs. Placements are strong for domain-specific courses with core companies like Mahindra and Mahindra offering packages up to 6.5 lakhs, but non-CIT branches see less than 50% placement. Internship opportunities are mostly unpaid and mandatory from the third year. Scholarships are available for top academic performers and students with a CGPA of 9 or above, while Uttarakhand domicile students receive fee reductions. Loans are accessible through state and private banks, with a notable partnership with Oriental Bank of Commerce.
