I wanted to apply for UPES DEHRADUN on basis of 10+2 marks. I got 88% in class 12 and 86% aggregate in PCM. I want CSE branch. Will I get admission in 10% reserved seats for class 12 or should I also apply for UPESEAT. I got 80%ile in JEE MAINS.Also is it better than AMITY LUCKNOW?

Hi there,

Even though you have a good score I wouldn't recommend applying through direct admission. There are just 10 percent seats for board-merit candidates, plus there will be candidates that might have scored the same as you even more than you. Hence, direct admissions are a little risky.

Rest be assured, with 80%+ in boards plus your JEE mains percentile, (a rank list is also prepared as per JEE marks of a candidate) there is a fair chance you might get CS but not the top specializations like CCVT.

In addition, it is always best to apply through UPESEAT rank to be on the safe side as 80 percent of the seats are filled using the rank. On top of that, if you have written your exam well, you can secure CSE with a specialization under 9k rank.

Talking about amity Lucknow and UPES. UPES is better.

The fee structures of both are almost the same, but UPES offers 10+ CSE courses and the placement opportunities are better in UPES.
