UPES envisions itself as an institution of global standing, which fosters development of professionally competent talent and contributes to nation-building. At UPES, we believe in the holistic and inclusive development of young minds. Moreover, we integrate technical knowledge with strong ethics and leadership skills to churn out the best.

UPES is more than just a university – it has become a movement that transforms the lives. While in the initial years this transformation took place through Petroleum and Energy domain courses, over the years, we have added Infrastructure, Renewable, Transportation, IT, Design, Planning and Policy, Management, and Law. In the true sense, UPES is the nation-builders’ university.

Continuing this movement forward, UPES had become an academic partner of GATE Trust for its programs in Renewable energy and Electric vehicles.
