Tech degree in Chemical Engineering is Rs. 15, 28, 000. College accepts online mode for payment of fees i. e. by NEFT, Paytm, Netbanking etc. There is additional fees charged 2 times for Personality Enhancement Programme which helps students in improving their personality as well as prepares them how to respond during interviews at the time of placements. But there is no such additional fees charged so as to secure admission in the college.

Sharma and many other renowned Chemical Engineers visited the college and taught the students and shared their experience with the students.
Hostel Facilities
No, I haven't opted for hostel. But as far as I know college hostel has triple sharing rooms. The seats for hostel are limited and is mainly provided through merit basis in UPESEAT exam. You have to book the hostel seat same day to which you were called for counselling. The college hostel offers good hygienic food as well as takes full care of health, hygiene and sanitation of students. Ambulance service is available 24×7 for hostel students in case of emergency. Rs. 1, 57, 500/- Regular hostel for boys and girls at Bidholi and Kandoli campus. However, for girl students we also have a few additional triple sharing rooms with ad-on facilities only at the Kandoli campus as indicated below: Rs. 1, 75, 750/- for hostel room with attached washroom. Rs. 1, 97, 750/- for hostel room with attached washroom and Air conditioning. Interest free refundable Hostel Security Fee: Rs. 10, 000/-. But there is no need to panic if you didn't got a seat in hostel as there are many good hostels outside the college located within a distance of only few kilometers. Some are even providing better facilities in comparison to college hostels. Annual hostel rent of private hostel ranges from Rs 120000 to 150000. Prices may vary for single, double or triple sharing.
Alumni/Alumna
UPES is a campus which is Ragging free and it takes very strict actions if any action related to bullying or ragging any junior takes place. With my experience I find senior students are very helpful and friendly. You can ask them about anything, they will reply you in a friendly manner and will solve all your doubts and problems willingly. UPES alumni network is very strong as it conducts Alumni Meet every year. Alumni are also very helpful and during counselling you can find many UPES alumni with whom you can talk and can clear all your doubts related to College.
Admission
I got admission to this college by clearing its entrance examination named UPESEAT in 2018. I then received a counselling letter for admission in various courses under BTech in UPES in which date and venue was available. Certain documents like 10th and 12th marksheets etc. were to be brought for counselling along with a Demand Draft of Rs. 1 lakh. I went for Counselling in month of according to the slot and Date I was provided with. There I have to go through the counselling process in which I was asked to lock my first 3 preferred course in accordance to the seat left. As my Rank was quite good so there were plenty of seats available in my preferred course i.e. Chemical Engineering with Specialisation in Refining and Petrochemicals.
Faculty
Faculty is very helpful and knowledgeable than most of the other colleges. Most of them have completed their PHD's and pursued their Masters from various IIT's. They have a very good command over the subjects which they are teaching. Students complete their Minor and Major projects under the supervision of the faculty members. Also these faculty members prove to be of ultimate help as you can write and publish research paper under them. Faculty helps students in completing various research projects as well as in innovating new things.
