I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

Hello,

Generally, UPES( University of Petroleum and Energy Studies) might have different admission criteria depending on the specific program. Some may require specific JEE Main scores, while others might consider alternative criteria like their own entrance exams (UPES Engineering Aptitude Test), merit in 12th grade or any other factors. Therefore, even if you didn’t qualify for JEE Mains, you might still be eligible for  certain programs at UPES. It’s best to check official UPES site for accurate admission requirements.

I hope this answers helps you!
