m a 2nd year law student at upes.

this college can b chosen only if you do not have any other options,

its decent.

depends on what you priorities are.

If you are lokking at a career in litigation, then dont take it up.

But if you are looking at a career in firms and more specifically energy companies, its good.

- a final year Law student at the UPES

I agree with the last reply as the final year batch students has gone through a lot of experiences.

Now the placement season is approaching soon, and we are curious for the same.

I think two-three years down the line at max., this college will have its name in the corporate sector specially with power and energy companies.

p.s. Final year batch.

Though the college website and pictures give you an idea of a college with a lot of infrastructure and a bright scope, all this is wrong. The college is not having a proper placement cell and the faculty consists of teachers who know less about law and more about fashion. Through the five years you will get to spend in the college, you will get to learn one concept i.e. to know nothing about law and still top the batch through contacts and politics. The college ha no hostel for girls and the college lies 38 kms outside the town. There are no modes of transport available except the college bus which charges you of hefty amount and leaves you with no option but to get sacrificed by the exploitative college management. The students who are studying here come only from small towns or are failures from big cities. The most interesting part is that the college of legal studies doesn’t have a dean(wonder how the management is running the college). The legal training provided by the college is of no use in the market when compared with students coming from other colleges. The moot court committee of this particular college is run by the failures of first and the second batch.

The only guarantee that the college provides is that you dont have a future and a proper job as a lawyer (even a peon is better trained in law than the lawyers).

Dehradun Law college is much better option than UPES even Siddhartha college of Law is a better option. Though it is a newer college. …

If you think this is a joke, try this college and get f***ed up by the college management)…

UPES Law College a Black Spot

To all Law Aspirant

Bycott This College if u want to make ur carrier

Dear Students

i will advice you all one thing, i am a fourth year student from UPES college and discovered that it was my major mistake that i got my admission in this cheap college i had more bad words to say but i cant say because the site does not allow the obsence words to be written so i am writing in the professional language ….never ever go for this college as this will definitely screw your career…no placement… bad infrastucture (compared to NLUs and Amity

)….no faculty….no quality of crowd…nothing….Dean and Director keep on changing, management never manages anything….you will b fined for nothing for next 5 years this i how college is making extra money, most of the faculty dont know about there subject itself…what is the sence to teach a subject if he doesnot have any knowledgeof his own subject.

Placement percentage is about 10% because college has never takes any efforts to make there own students get placed…Now i am working with a law frim since past 2 months but i worked too hard cuz i come from ds college to find anintern 4 myslef…there was no efforts from this college…..so its better to look for some big colleges…not for such a college who him self writes…”WE are ONE of THE FAMOUS COLLEGES IN INDIA” no one know UPES, Dehradun even today in India.

Mark this college as a BLACK SPOT in your mind…be serious for your carrer.

What rubbish?? how can u ppl defame ur own clg like this… I am a 3rd year student at UPES… and I don’t find anything wrong with the clg…It is worth joining if u are interested in the corporate sector… Go ahead… Don’t listen to this bunch of losers…

this reply is directed to the 4th year guy, who is having some personal vendetta towards upes. dude, i can see your frustration, its so obvious that upes has done nothing for you, as i can see that your level of english hasn’t improved in last 4 years. so definitely upes has failed with you.

taking a general outlook of upes. it has done pretty well since its establishment.It has got more than 60% of its first batch placed, and the rest are still getting opportunities off campus through college only. big firms like amarchand & luthra have also taken up students for recruitments.

i will recommend top 6 national law schools and NLU delhi before UPES but after them , UPES is a preferable option.

- final year student

cols, upes

just because you are a failure doesnt mesn you blame your college, actually it is because of you people no one appreciates what god has given them. you got of which you are standard of … have some respect, upes have tolerated jerks like you for years yet no one complaines but you… talk to a shrink you need help…

upes is a good college if you are a student who wants to study and work hard.. u will not get anything easily here bt will have to work for it..

the 5th year students faced problems but rest of the batches are pretty fine and the upcoming batches will b placed pretty well.. B.A.LLB (hons) with emphasis on energy law is what u get if u opt for ba… so i dont think so there is any problem joining here.. other colleges appreciate our college too and hence its now a bad option..

and to those losers who are speaking shit abt their own college should once think that did they themselves worked hard.. i agree that for the 5th yr seniors it ws hard bt for the rest batches stuff will turn out well

I don’t know if people are following this post anymore. Still as students are in the course of making their selections for law schools now, I find it pertinent to leave a note here.

There are a few things that have to be considered by all the UPESians who have posted here or usually put up their posts here:-

First, when we put something up here, it’s not gonna be seen only by the law students, but also by the aspirants, who would be deciding their career choices. So whatever posts you make about our college, it must be the truth.

Secondly, going through the above posts there seems to be a lot of contradiction as to how good the college is and how has it been performing. Well, for those from the final year, and have passed out recently, I think the placement stats would the most helpful thing you could put up here substantiating the other person boasting of “corporate opportunities”. It would be a pretty good guide for the students for what is the condition of the college. And yeah, do provide separately as to how many of the placements were on campus, that will look better.

Thirdly, for those who don’t find anything wrong in the college. Answer the following questions.

1. How would you rate the library at UPES, and around how many journals, newsletters, digests, research databases, you’ve at UPES?

(I guess, libraries are considered to be the powerhouse of any law school. So please describe the condition of the library. It will help the aspirants to a great extent.)

2. How is the mooting environment at UPES?

(Don’t worry, I’m not gonna embarrass you by asking, how many awards has UPES won. Just tell the people, if we even have a provision for being sponsored for participating in the mooting events across the country.)

3. Who is the current head of College of Legal Studies?

(Generally, the director remains the head of a privately run law institution. This top man, be it the director or VC remains pretty important, as he remains at the acme of administration, and it is always his vision to take college to new heights. So who is the top man at our college. It would be helpful if you could also provide the name of those who left the college being frustrated of the ways things were handled there.)

In reply to all the posts here. the guys from upes would know who i am.

I graduated as a student in the first batch abt a month ago.

in a span of 20 days i have had the pleasure and the opportunity to work as an associate in what i believe and so do many of the popular rankings, to be ranked as the number 1 and number 3 firms in india.

both of them has names which would otherwise in our country be a pan shops name.

my advise is if you get nalsar, nls, nlu-j or nujs take it.

beyond that all law schools are the same.

in the end its not what the law school which makes you what you are, but what you make yourselves to be. my friends here have explained the fallacies of upes.

but what it gives is this: a USP on energy( ie mining, electricity & oil gas laws) nothing more. I used it and here I am .

in fact much more than what an ordinary chappie at a top law school would get- two law firm jobs , at tier 1 top end firms with a hefty pay and a good team and that too in a space of one month.

so my suggestion is if you are gonna not see the advs that a college provides you and only want spoon feeding school like most of the nat law schools( retierate that its better/ imcomparable if u get nls, nalsar or nlu-j or nujs.

and a tip to my upes friends- u guys deserved nothing better than upes looking at the way you guys have articulated your points. and for those to which this doesn apply, what the hell have you done in the last 2/3/4/5 yrs to make urselves employable or to call yourselves as a lawyer whos worth his money.

if you are- please call me for you know who i am.

and in relation to the previous post and the pertinent observations made-

1. library- for gods sake growp up dude. you are living in an online env as on date. which journal/ which case law is not avlbl online these days?

2. moot env- would you moot just cos others in your college moot/ or do not moot?. did mcsetalvad or nani palki or nariman or harish salve moot in their college days?. and in any case your aspirations would more often than not would be to be a corp lawyer with some ammuchand poppatdas or puthra& puthra , so why waste your time by going to a moot on international human rights or some khurana and khurana trial advocacy moot?. in any case upes doesn stop you from going to moots. it just doesn spoon feed you or to be honest give you any assistance. but yes in the process you learn the real pleasure of mooting as you explore things for yourself.

3. head- who gives a shit. can any one of you name the vc of all the top nlus without having to do a google search on it? does the vc even teach ?

it again stresses the point that if u want to be spoon fed, don even think abt upes. ul just end up as a nothing.

but if u believe that u wanna explore things for urself and lastly in this adage- it is better to be a big fish in a small pond and therefore be counted amongst the king of fishes RATHER THAN to be a small fish in a big pond and just be counted as another mongrel fish. ( better to be a king in upes than a pauper in NATLAWSKOOLS)

Sorry, but you don’t seem to have lived much to understand the importance of a library, and I don’t blame you for this because you might have not been out of the little library world what we’ve at UPES, out of which the only other option we’re left with is the online mode. On the other note as you highlighted that it’s an “online environment”, you dissolved the whole concept of copyrighted sharing into open access. Hope you would understand that. Talking about, which law journal isn’t available online. I can put a huge list of it over here, but I’ll do away with just a small bit of it. I hope it will give you some idea. Just try finding these out:-

Indian Journal of Environmental Law, Journal of Law and Medicine, Gender Justice Reporter, Law and Human Behaviour (quite a popular one), Journal of Ethics, Law & Social Enquiry.

I can also feed in some more stuff in other categories of digests and newsletters, in case you would like to have, and only if you don’t say that all these journals, digests etc. are of no use, or else I’ll have to give up on you.

I agree that mooting is not to be done because every other law school does it. It’s a choice to be made. But I hope you wouldn’t deny that it is one among the most important co-curricular activities for a student studying law (non compulsive), or at least for the majority of students studying law. Law students wanna be in action, and for such students who quite usually remain in majority, mooting is indispensable.Moving onto the other part of this, which factually is quite funny. You say UPES doesn’t “spoonfeed”, you quite generally used this term. When you’re mooting, it is not just about participating. You’ve a right to participate subject to some intra rounds or whatever, but the role what your college is supposed to play in this is, equipping you with the resources which could pave your way up on the mooting rankings. Why does a student from NLU Orissa come to your college with a memorial containing more than 60 footnotes while the home team participates merely with 10-20. I don’t blame it on them, it’s not that they didn’t research well, they didn’t give their bit, it’s the lack of resources they’re in. They are stuck. There is a big difference between “facilities” and “spoonfeeding”, what you get as facilities is to gear a student up or ease his education means at the college, spoonfeeding is the latter part of it. Your mention of “spoonfeeding” is in fact an escape route to justify the dismal conditions at UPES.

Who gives a shit about the head? I guess for that you need to realize what’s the importance of an administrator, and that too a good administrator. Go through the Bar Council of India rules (another problem at UPES-less informed students, still obsessed), the director is supposed to be the head of administration, he is not supposed to teach, it has to be the job of the dean. I don’t find any use of explaining you the need of proper administration, I know you’ve just gotten accustomed with the chaos that surrounds you. Not a problem!

A suggestion: Get out of the world you’re into, their are much bigger and better things out there. I don’t say compare, but at least learn what’s their outside.

No it is not.

I just completed my first year in UPES and it has been a terrible disappointment!

It’s a better option than Symbi Noida, Amity, KLE etc but every single NLU is a better bet than UPES!

1. In reply to your journals point. You may note that I said don pick up upes in case ur aspirations are to become a litigator. And the journals which you quoted are not in any way useful to a guy who wants to do corp law or in the case of upes a projects lawyer. I am a projects lawyer and maybe the only one currently from upes. You may appreciate the fact that inspite of these so called fallacies, I have made it through the same common aspirations of a guy in nls-b. was I thrown away by two firms or rejected by them because I never had the opportunity to even look at these journals? Not really because, they don’t give a shit. What is the use of these journals when your aspirations are to become a corporate transactional attorney?. Both amarchand delhi and Bombay picked up a student, albeit delhi was through the personal effort of the student himself. Luthra . the Amarchand bombay guy was picked up by jsa. Fox and mandal and two or three other third tier firms. And with respect to your comment about me not living enough to realize the importance of the library?- have you? Unless you are the amarchand Bombay/ delhi guy/ luthra chick/ fox mandal guys/ the jsa guy I think I have lived longer than you and seen more things than you to analyse the practical importance of a library. Nor did I or any of these guys need a damn good library to make it through to one of these firms. In fact me being one of the guys working in the firms mentioned above, never even took a library card or issued one single book.

But let me agree with you on the importance of a good library, whilst just undermining the over exaggerated importance that an over stocked library gets. My conclusion is this- when nls guys end up with the same job with a super stocked library and a upes guy who never went to the library gets the same job with the same designation and same sal- whats the difference? Therefore if the aspirations are to become a transactional attorney, you may neglect the fact that UPES doesn’t and never will have some random books on social jurisprudence or medical negligence. Nor is it required.

2. Moots- well well well. Are moots won by foot notes? No. its won by the quality of the arguments and the way in which you articulate your points. You don’t need to have 50 judgments, where one judgment would drive across the point. Although I don mean to say that upes chaps come up with that one great judgment , it just undermines the necessity of over-availability of resources which a moot would require- unless you are going to a international human rights or env law moot where hordes of jurisprudence is required to be submitted. Risking repetition- going to human right moots is not even logical when you are looking at a career in m&a or projects or cap markets with any law firm in india. Nothing stops a student short from going the extra mile by going to the ILI, Delhi Library or resort to whatever means to get his research done. How many moots do the government law college guys win irrespective of the fact that they had seniors and a plethora of books?

3. Coming back to the dean- He doesn teach is your point. My point is you need an administrator. A 5th year law student would make a great administrator? So it doesn matter. Name one college where even with these facilities people have ended up in top notch firms , esp belonging to the first batch.? You wont be able to name one. I can name millions of colleges in india where with great acadamecians and a super sexy library people end up in third grade jobs or just fail to even get considered by these top firms.

GIVE UPES TIME> EVEN NLS BLORE WAS NOTHING GREAT WHEN ITS FIRST BATCH PASSED OUT> THE BEST EXAMPLE IS A GUY WHO WORKS IN UPES. HE PASSED OUT FROM NLU JODHPUR IN ONE OF ITS EARLIER BATCHES. UPES GUYS ARE TESTIMONY TO THE FACT ABT HIS CALIBER. BUT LOOK AT THE BATCHES OF NLU-J NOW. EVERY LAW SCHOOL TAKES TIME. AND BESIDES ITS NOT THE LAW SCHOOL WHICH MAKES YOU WHAT YOU ARE, ITS YOU WHO MAKE WHAT YOURSELVES TO BE.

And I don’t think you need to tell me about what’s outside. Ive seen them and continue to see them everyday here in these firms. What most of these natlawschool guys actually are. I don’t deny the fallacies but just merely opine that there are ways to get around them and use the advtgs that a college has to provide for.

And u just seem to be the one whos frustrated and blaming the college for your trouble and failures. U have failed cos you have not looked at the way to confront these problems and work your way around them. On the other hand the guys who’ve made it through these top firms are. If UPES is a failure and disappointment, so are you.::

Eager to hear from you,

A Sucessful UPESian.

Sadly, you drove away from your point. Your point on the journals was, “all journals or research stuff is available online now, so what is the need of having those lofty journals and researching stuff in the library”, I guess you gave up on that and agreed that there are things which can’t be tracked online. Moreover, I’m pretty fascinated to know that a student targeting corporate law doesn’t require studying journals. For that, could you please kindly tell me as to what is your understanding, what is their in the journals, and why doesn’t a person aspiring a corpo-legal job need to read them? I guess this question would give me a pretty straight answer and a sign of your understanding on the importance of journals, as I’ve become pretty dubious about further furnishing my arguments here, telling someone the importance of a good library, who has not even used a library ever.

The main problem I see with your arguments is that you assess everything in relevance of the job opportunities that you got. You show me that you’ve shared equal opportunities as that of an NLU guy, despite not having an informative backup as that of a good NLUite. You didn’t get even a single book issued from the library, and got the same job which could have been fetched by an NLUite doesn’t mean that you are just as informed as a good NLUite would be. You lack at the premise of understanding what a good knowledge backup is, as you don’t even understand what’s the importance of a good library and research materials. Fetching a job is not the objective of studying any discipline, how much of understanding you acquired of that discipline is what matters.

Footnotes show the extensiveness of one’s research. They don’t make one lose or win, but how much of research one would have done on a subject can be assessed from the footnotes. Moreover, if a person doesn’t require those footnotes or that extensiveness in his research I guess the award of best researcher for any moot is a goof. Also, just in order to make you understand, unless you research properly it is impossible, mark the word “impossible” to have the proper understanding of the issue you’re dealing with in a moot. That’s what makes footnotes or to be specific extensive research important.

Again in your third argument, you’ve landed up onto the jobs. But still, the argument is pretty weak in itself. The jobs that have been fetched by the students at UPES were because of their individual potentials. I don’t deny that individual potential is what lies as the most important factor for anything one does, but it’s facilitated by a lot of things that surround those efforts. In this case, it is ought to be facilitated by the college. See the core of what we’re arguing upon is whether the college is good or not, we’re not dealing with the individual potentials developed by the students. People were good, they did it, but had their been a bit more effort, a bit more facilitation by the college, the rest of the students would’ve also sprung up to some high places.

Now about me, well well well, there is no use of boasting around this place. It’s not worth it. I would just clarify on your points, that I’m not frustrated, I’m disappointed about the unavailability of the facilities that could’ve made me a better student of law with a better understanding. I’m not a failure, not me; my record says so, I just aspire for an improved college.

You acknowledged the persistent problem in one of your sentences, and suggested me to work my way around them, that’s what I’m stressing at. Hadn’t it been better if we wouldn’t have needed to “go around”. I expect improvements to dawn, I lie pessimistic because of the atmosphere that is prevalent and despite significant attempts that has denied any change.

admitted that your reply was scholarly.

my perception and points were according to me an attempt at reality.

the only reason i am backing off from this argument is because of the erudite reply which I have probably gottten for the first time in my life from a fellow- upesian. nor do i have the time to do so after a tired day in office.

it only stresses the point that UPES is not so bad after all if it does have people like you, giving such reasoned arguments. If you guys can work your way around the system and just use to your advantage the better things that UPES has to offer, you’d end up making a great name for the college.

finally, reality revolves around getting placed. ask sumit the all knowing scholar of the just concluded final year batch in COLS. what legal knowledge did he not have? just to see normal chaps like yours truly who’ve never visited a library , yet ended up being in a better position.

lastly, just cos of the fact that i cant resist, you revolve around the no of footies in a memorial. I know and have been to atleast two national moots which gave away best memos to ppl who had 20 footies as against 85 footies in other natlawschool ppls memos. thats why its called a written submission/ memo and not a reasearch paper/ article.

and yet with all the books and the wholisitic education which the nat law schools provide, what purpose do they serve? they end up seeking desk jobs.

nobody( read as majority) wants to be a real/ scholarly lawyer like you anymore.

anyway. if you know who i am , pls do indicate. i think it was a good argument. and i think i have a fair idea of who you are or not.

It’s totally fine. We just put up our opinions here. Your arguments were founded on your opinion, and I would say from the start itself you were on a note affirmative to my opinion that “Yeah, the college lacks in things and resents improvement”. The question of this thread is mainly concerned with that. We go to the websites, and look for the rankings and the performance profile of that college, why do we do so? All of it gets out from the basic concept of a man seeking a more promising life ahead. We try to avert the roughness of life just as much as we can, that’s the point on which we make selections. We observe and evaluate, going which way will be smoother and promising. That’s were these rankings and profile of a college get their importance. A law aspirant who wants to know how a college is, he seeks to know how smooth will his life become if he enters this college or that college. In your terms, how promising his job prospects would be. That’s why I said any comment on the college’s condition has to be reasoned well and nothing shall be bragged about. I don’t say that you bragged anyway, just that your argument was on a different note, about individual potentials and what a person can make out of his life.

For me, I’ve made considerable attempts to change the condition of at least the way things exist in our college. It wasn’t merely acknowledged by the students, but the faculty too. But all of them got swayed away by the pathetic administration it was subjected to. I stressed on the point of director, because recently Dr. Mrinal Raste joined the university, I was working closely with him. He was planning to conduct a national conference, revamp the methods of the college, open a centre for energy law with the recognition of UGC, but all his efforts were stalled by the grace of those administering above him. He got frustrated and has left the college. At our place, it’s like, you set the aim, you place the bot, you direct him as to how to work, and then you call him a director. Such a joke! This is what UPES did with him. With such a knowledgeable person and creative administrator who brought Symbiosis to the level where it stands today. Seriously Pathetic!

Let the footies go to oblivion now! Footnotes in my sense reflect research, and research vis a vis reflects understanding, that’s where my point stood. I don’t say that the number of footies should always be more and that’s how you score on your memos, my concern is that the research shall be good, so good as to not lack on the point of understanding the concept at least.

I don’t know your name, neither would you have heard mine. I remain hardly in touch with the seniors. Still I did come to know that one of our seniors made it to A&M, certainly you got what you sought. Congratulations! My name is Vatsal Kishore, 2nd year. Anyway it was nice arguing with you, finally I’ve some points that I may put before those, who consider UPES nothing.

hats off brother. your arguments for a second yr chap were brilliant.

I dont know a batch mate of mine or any immdeiate junior of mine who’d put forth such arguments, with the luicidity that you did.

this is rohit rajagopal. the guy who made it to amarchand bombay and then quit in 20 days to join jsagar and more importantly the guy who’s been arguing with you.

just so you, know. I just wanted to argue. i agree with each and every single point that you did make. i too, argued on these lines when i was in the 2nd year.

and its not just one chap who made it to amarchand. another chap named nikhil parikshith made it to am delhi.

pity that we never met,

confident and sure that I will see you someday in case you decide to get involved with the law firm vertical.

Cheers,

and beer’s on me when you are in delhi. +9871460555. will delete this post after you do acknowledge that you’ve read it. otherwise I will have face the ire of over enthusiastic law school students who’d buzz you in the middle of the night for an internship without even realising that an associate at a firm has no decision making power or for that matter, any power for the first 5 years of his career.

Thanks for the offer. Hopeful of getting some alumnus support from people like you for shoving improvements down here. Will be in Delhi the next month, will call you sometime. And yeah, congratulations again for fetching a job that big, after sustaining in despair for resources, all those five years.

This really is very backward thinking. How will a college make a name for itself if not for it’s students. Students are the blood of the university and the university is a stepping stone for students to be successful. According to my knowledge a lot of the alumni has been placed in places like DSK Legal, Pangea3, Thomson Reuters, Larsen & Tubro Ltd. to name a few. In fact, some of the leading lawyers at the Supreme Court and High Court at Delhi have already recruited or expressed their keen interest in recruiting from our pioneer batch. Does that not count for anything?

The Law College at UPES has been doing fairly well in the past; I would recommend you look at their website since they have unique offerings to provide like integrated courses. They provide something called an integrated course in Energy Laws which is a pretty niche offering and worth going into. Hope this helps. :)

Upes is becuming gud day by day

I m also a student of Upes…

Its being a year …

Dis year only Upes has won National moot court competition …RGNLU

By reading the comments of frustrated students, most of you must be worried about the placement, cause lets face it, everyone want to be in the top firms.

So here is a link to the monthly newsletter of UPES CoLS. On the last page you’ll find the students who are placed along with the firms in which they are placed.

Well a lot of thing has been discussed in this forum about UPES. I want to provide an insight

I belong to 2010-2015, that is the graduating batch. I have witnessed the era when UPES was “not good”, but today I will rank it even above some of the NLUs.

When I joined, I was not satisfied with what my college was giving to me. Actually it was very different with the NLUs in respect of the culture, student, library, and other aspects. (Because my elder brother was in one of the top-tier NLU, I had a fair idea about “NLU thing”). Even I gave CLAT next year, but it didn’t worked.

But after then the thing started changing. There was a complete revolution, and things started changing. The change I am talking about was in the attitude of the students. The students themselves took the initiative and have proved themselves. Talk about moots, PDs, MUN, Paper Presentation, or any other activities we have earned our reputation.

If we talk about placements, you can find us most of the top-tier law firms, company, consultancy, LPO, international organizations etc. Around 40% of the graduating batch has been placed if we talk about the stats till today and the placement process is going on with full pace. Also we are in process in forming a very elite alumni network which will further enhance our performance.

To list a few you can find UPES guy in AZB, Trilegal, AMSS, JSA, Mulla & Mulla, PwC, British Gas, IFC, etc.

You didn’t need to reply as Anonymous if you really think “belonging to top college and/or better than some NLU’s”.

Hi Abhishek, one of my friends did LLB from UPES and now I am also planning to take admission in this same course in UPES. As per my friend, UPES has won many moot court competitions and the last batch got very decent placement in price water cooper.. I hope I too get good placement.

Does take students beyond air 5000? Say upto 6K

Hey guys…

I am done with my schooling and now I want to do law. I want to ask that is UPES a good college or not?

I have heard that its a college where u only do ‘aiyashi’.

Students are in a habbit of drugs n all…so is it true.?

If this is true n if the colg is gud,

Then also I can join the colg as I’m not into drugs n all…n my will power is quite strong.

yes the college is good. lot of good faculty even students say a good words about college. students get lot of project and assignment, court sessions. and overall responsibility is always on oneself to decide about right or wrong.

Xcuse me gentleman let me tell you one thing even m one of the student of upes and that colege is fine u know for whome !! For ppl who just rattafy everything and just roam around their teachers and be like” mam aaj to aap bht ache lg re hain and sir wow aap se acha to koi para e nI skta” types -_- u should better accept the reality dude and the beSt problem with them is they don’t see what is actually right but they tell us that what only they know is actually right.now what do they wanna prove ? The books and the Internet or the pthar ppl are just wrong Everytime ? For example a girl of my class wrote the gift deed according to the other books and with the help of Internet and when her notebook was under checking she claimed mam gift deed is written just like this u can check but our mam was like “mene to class me 4 pages ki likhwai h and utni and woi honi chaiye thi” now tell me !! Was that girl wrong or the teacher? And u know thus is only one example I even know a girl who was getting lesser marks than I do and now she was sitting at home with a grade b and I was the one who was attending summer classes wow what attending lovely colege it is u c ? And that’s not it I even checked and made teacher recheck her exam answer sheet. Now what do u think ?

Hi UPES is a very good university. UPES is the one of the few universities in India offering integrated and specialized courses which are very popular.. so from my side.. UPES is a great university and place to study.

Teachers here in UPES are not really good they generally hire freshers who have the knowledge of everything but don’t know how to teach. There is also a lot of pressure on students for taking part in competitions as our college has a very pathetic concept of OPI(overall performance indicator) which has to be at a level to sit for the placements if you don’t qualify the criteria you can not even sit for placements and for getting OPI score we need to participate in competitions, write research paper, maintain CGPA etc.
