Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum is kept strictly in line with the guidelines for a management program mentioned by the AICTE and UGC. Since it is a 10 months program there is no yearly or semester wise system of examination. Evaluations and assessments are held time to time during the course through tests and assignments. At the end of the course the final examination is conducted for the grant of diploma.

Placement Experience

UPES University is a very famous university and its placement rate is also very good. However for the distance learning program you cannot expect the same thing inspite of the fact that the university provides you support in placement. 50% to 60% can easily get placements through on campus offers. One can try opportunities of placement through off campus drives. In terms of internship you are mostly on your own as the college doesn't provide it.

Fee Structure And Facilities

The fee for the course is high as you can expect from the full-time program that the university offers. The cost for the 10 months diploma program is around 73,000 rupees. This has to be paid at the time of taking admission and includes the tuition fee and other related charges.

Fees and Financial Aid

Uttarakhand State government offers scholarship to the students who are domicile of the state and are either from reserved categories or are from the economically backward sections of the society. The central government through its national scholarship portal also extends financial assistance to the students. Educational loan can also be sought by the students.

Campus Life

3.5

As a distance learning student there is nothing much for us to explore in terms of the extra curricular activities. These are more of things to be explored by the students who are enrolled in the full time program offered by the college. Infrastructure wise as we know that the college is a popular one it's top-notch. The regional centre of the university also has nice and sufficient infrastructure support.

Admission

I applied for the college by filling in the detailed application form on the official website. I give the CAT exam but since I didn't got good score and I also had to continue my job I opted for a postgraduate diploma program from this university. UPES is a popular University in Uttarakhand and its distance learning arm offers variety of options in the diploma programme. After approval of my application I was asked to complete the admission formalities post which I got the admission in the program.

Faculty

3.5

Since it is a distance learning program we hardly get a chance to interact with the teachers. whatever chance I got to interact with the teachers either through online or through the regional learning centre I can say that they are experienced and have good knowledge of their respective subject. They helped us and made sure that we learn the concepts and it's related things in an easy to grasp manner.

BEST NAAC A++ COLLEGE IN UTTARAKHAND

Likes

The campus has decent infrastructure, a library, labs and a supportive learning environment.
Faculty members are helpful, and campus life provides opportunities for social interaction and personal growth.

Dislikes

Placements and internship opportunities could be improved, especially for MBA students.

Placement Experience:

At RIT Roorkee, MBA students generally become eligible for placements in the final year. Companies may offer roles in marketing, finance, HR and sales placement opportunities and salary packages depend on the company and student's skills. The highest package, average package and placement percentage vary each year students should improve their communication skills, practical knowledge and internship experience to get better opportunities. After completing my MBA, I plan to join a good company and build my career in management.

Faculties were very supportive. They are very helpful.
I like the hostel common room as i have a very good memories

Dislikes

Sometimes i didn't like the mess food. but it was not that bad
Hostel restrictions , you cannot go out , you have to take the permission from multiple people
Class schedule is very busy. There are so many training

Course Curriculum Overview:

To be honest they focus more on pratical rather then theoritical. W went for many industrial visit, like cocola, iits, parleg and many other 1st half classes are for theoretical and 2nd half for training. I think they should make the schedule little lighter but yes they prepare us for the real world challanges that is for sure/

I came to RIT Roorkee from Bihar for my MBA and I want to write this review specifically for students from Bihar and UP

Likes

The campus environment is good and you get students from different places, so you get a chance to interact with people outside your home state.
Faculty support can be good, especially when you are regular with your studies and approach them when you need help.
For parents from Bihar, having accommodation within/around the campus can make the transition easier.

Dislikes

Hostel and college rules can feel strict for students who want a lot of freedom.
You will need to put in your own effort for coding, communication skills, internships and other career preparation. The college alone cannot guarantee a good career.
The environment is fairly structured, which can be helpful if you want to stay focused on your studies.

Placement Experience:

The placement opportunities at Roorkee Institute of Technology are quite diverse, with a dedicated Training and Placement Cell that supports students through resume building, mock interviews, career guidance and recruitment drives. According to the institute’s current placement information, the 2026 batch has recorded placements across different sectors, with an average package of around ₹8 LPA and the highest package of ₹22 LPA. The institute also lists recruiters such as Cognizant, Finastra, Sopra Steria, KPMG, EY and Voltas.

Holistic Review of MBA at IIM Kashipur

Likes

It's a student run campus which means that important decisions regarding students are taken by the student bodies.
The campus is beautiful and lush. The architecture of buildings are well though of made to keep buildings cool during summers and hot during winters.
The campus is very happening. Several cultural events occur.

Dislikes

As the town Kashipur is not very developed, there is not much of metro-city life or such amenities
The boys to girls ratio for core program is 4:1 and the opposite for the analytics program which makes the class interactions disproportionate, It should be uniform.
You can't order food from online platforms here as the city is remote so one has to resort to the options present on campus which turns out to be pretty limited in number and quality.

Placement Experience:

As soon as the second year starts, companies start coming for placements. These include ICICI bank, Wellsfargo, Genpact, Amazon, TresVista, Havells, TVS, Tech Mahindra etc. The highest package goes around to be 40-50 Lacs while average is around 14-15 Lacs. Almost all get placed while the rest opt-out from the process either for off-campus offers or pursuing higher education.

They provide us the Coursera Premium Subscription. Plus, there are only two electives to choose from in the Amity Online rather being 4 here in UPES Online....Read More
