The verdict
Worth considering
B.Des UX & Interaction Design at UPES delivers a modern curriculum with capstone projects, an 85% placement rate, and strong recruiters like Adobe and PhonePe. That said, the ₹14L fee is steep against a ₹5.5L average CTC, and the NIRF #28 rank is for Law—not Design. Consider it if you want a private hill-campus vibe with entrance-exam flexibility, but weigh ROI against dedicated design institutes.
