Sir upes CSE fees is 22.20 lacs for 4 years plus hostel etc, can you pls give a insight on fees of same level colleges for CSE considering education infrastructure placement etc. and your recommendation i only have upes this year as i didnt give any provate college exam and jee was 85.16 percentile in my board year 2025.

Ans: UPES CSE’s total fee of ?22.2 lakh for four years is considerably higher than many reputable private colleges in Northern India offering B.Tech in Computer Science. In Delhi NCR, well-established institutions such as Amity University Noida charge about ?10 lakh, Shiv Nadar University ?10.8–11 lakh, The NorthCap University Gurgaon ?12 lakh, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida ?11 lakh, Galgotias University ?6 lakh, and Noida Institute of Engineering and Technology ?6 lakh for the complete CSE program. Other prominent options include Chitkara University Punjab (?7–9 lakh), Chandigarh University (?8–10 lakh), Manav Rachna International University (?7 lakh), ABES Engineering College Ghaziabad (?5–7 lakh), Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology Delhi (?6–8 lakh), IMS Engineering College Ghaziabad (?8 lakh), GNIOT Greater Noida (?5–7 lakh), and St. Andrews Institute of Technology & Management Gurgaon (?4–5 lakh). These colleges offer modern infrastructure, accredited CSE programs, and placement rates in the 80–95% range with strong recruiter engagement and active industry tie-ups, though fee structures may vary with hostel and additional amenities. Educational quality, peer group, labs, and placement networks in leading private colleges like Shiv Nadar, Amity, and JIIT compare strongly to UPES and often outpace smaller remote campuses in career outcomes. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Sir upes CSE fees is 22.20 lacs for 4 years plus hostel etc, can you pls give a insight on fees of same level colleges for CSE considering education infrastructure placement etc.
Ans: Chandigarh University’s BTech CSE program carries a total fee of approximately ?9 lakhs, featuring NBA accreditation, a modern 250-acre green campus, 92% placement rates with over 1,200 companies on campus, and strong industry tie-ups with Amazon and Microsoft. Lovely Professional University’s 120-acre campus in Jalandhar offers CSE at around ?8.5 lakhs, with NBA accreditation, a 90% placement record, specialized AI and cybersecurity labs, and international collaboration. Amity University Noida’s CSE costs about ?7.6 lakhs, delivering 92% placement, dedicated innovation centers, robust industry partnerships, and extensive research funding. Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida, charges near ?7.2 lakhs for CSE, boasts 88% placement, a high-performance computing lab, and corporate mentorship programs. Galgotias University, Greater Noida, offers CSE at ?5.5 lakhs, sustaining 85% placement, state-of-the-art IoT and robotics labs, and active incubation centers. Each institution ensures accredited academics, modern infrastructure, qualified faculty, vibrant campus life, and strong placement support—delivering comparable educational value at lower fees than UPES.

Recommendation: Opt for Jaypee Institute of Information Technology for its optimal balance of fee structure, placement consistency, and technical amenities. Chandigarh University follows for its extensive campus resources and high recruiter count. Lovely Professional University provides strong international exposure, while Amity Noida and Galgotias University deliver solid outcomes at more affordable fee levels.

Sir my son has got seat in UPES CSE. He is intereted in cyber security. Fees is 22 lacs + Hostel 8 lacs and other expenses. But he had not filled any other private college and was confident of jee but got 86 percentile only. SUGGEST BETWEEN UPES AND DROP. FEES WE CAN MANAGE DEPENDING ON EDUCATION QUALITY AND PLACEMENT.
Ans: UPES Dehradun’s BTech CSE with specialization in Cyber Security is well-recognized for modern labs, Wi-Fi-enabled campus, and industry-focused curriculum in partnership with IBM. Faculty are qualified, supportive, and emphasize practical skills required by the cyber security domain. The campus provides vibrant hostel life, organized events, and good student support. The program boasts an 85–90% placement rate, with top companies like Accenture, CISCO, Deloitte, Amazon, and IBM recruiting, though some students shift to IT services or unconventional roles. Student reviews describe strong infrastructure and networking opportunities but emphasize that excellent placements go to the most proactive, skilled students. Fees are high relative to typical private colleges, but industry exposure and track record support confident prospects for motivated learners. Dropping for a year has unpredictable outcomes, with roughly 35–40% of droppers seeing dramatic improvement in admissions; many others see little gain and face additional academic pressure or uncertainty.

Recommendation:
Choose UPES for CSE (Cyber Security) if your son is committed and the family can manage fees, as it offers solid placements, infrastructure, and faculty in this field. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

My husband is out of job since the past 4 years after we came to India following COVID. He was working as Senior Accountant in Dubai and after his company's layoff we shifted base to India. Thought he joined two jobs for a very short time he quit and has been since only applying for job opportunities. Unfortunately he has not been receiving any calls for any interview nor has made any attempts to personally look for any job. I have ever since joined work and is the only breadwinner of the family.My husband doesn't want to contribute anything to the household expenditure except for daughters school fees.He is of the opinion that he has done his contribution earlier when he was working and as I am working need to be responsible for the family. Considering all the circumstances I am confused as none of my advice has any affect on his behaviour. Please advise
Ans: Hi!!
It is nice to know that he is contributing towards the fees of his children! Have you asked him how he is managing it?
The financial responsibility is on both the partners… it doesn’t matter who is at home and who is working. You sit across and discuss how much money comes in and how much money goes out. The how and why of savings for the future is also a joint venture!!
Now with this background decide whether it is enough if one of you works and the other manages everything at home. Segregate work, share responsibility.
Losing a job can be very hard on mental well being, then not finding a fulfilling job can worsen it.
Check whether your husband is truly unwilling to find a job or he has gotten comfortable/ lazy sitting at home.
I am sure you have been married long enough to sit across and talk lovingly with concern and care, and come up with solutions.
Please do not nag…
If nothing works, seek help of a professional!!

My wife doesn't like dogs. I have two dogs who are like family to me. She screams and disrespects them saying she is scared of them. I am feeling very betrayed because I had mentioned this condition while sending our proposal to her family. It was also written in my matrimonial profile that we have two dogs who stay with us. We rejected so many proposals for this very reason but the family including my wife ignored it and now it is affecting our marriage. It has only been two months and I have to keep my dogs on a leash for the first time. They are deeply hurt and affected. I respect her too but how do I explain to her that my dogs are safe? Everyone in my family is equally concerned but my in-laws feel that dogs should be treated as pets not family. I strongly disagree. If my partner cannot accept my dogs, would it be right to file for divorce? Please help.
Ans: Hi!!
I can empathise with this whole situation at your home!
Let’s start tackling each issue that you have mentioned one by one…
1. There is surely a breach of trust here bfr marriage.. you did mention that your pets are an integral part of the family… you need to sit down and discuss this… find a common ground.This discussion is between you and your wife only.
2. Ask the in- laws to stay out of the discussion about how your family treats pets.
3. Take the pets out of the scenario and check the equation between you and your wife. How much value you attach to this relationship and each other? What lengths will both of you go to ensure that this partnership works?
If it’s a win - win situation, then sit down and chalk out a plan to make it work…
5. Both of you be part of solutions….ask her what was she expecting from you knowing that you are a pet lover and this was a precondition for marriage, yet she went ahead and got married to you…
6.There is no black and white solution here… I am also thinking aloud as I write to you…
After all the heart to heart talk… tell her that tying the dogs is not an option.. they are like children to you! Ask her to come up with solutions… tell her you want the marriage to work..you also from your end try to make her comfortable slowly get her used to the dogs, show her that they are harmless. The fear of dogs can be taken away slowly… consult a psychologist/ marriage counsellor to help you out if your efforts don’t yield results!
7. It’s been just 02 months. Both of you try to make the marriage work . You are both equally responsible for this marriage!!

All the very best!
