The program not only makes you eligible but also gives you a better chance to qualify the Indian Civil Services exams.

Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Legislative Law (BBA + LLB) is a five-year integrated dual degree course which provides an integrated study of management studies and legislative law in an entirely independent manner.

This course is designed to train students in the intricacies of law as well as financial markets, making them proficient in all basic law subjects such as constitutional law, criminal law, and international law. In addition to these, it has an in-depth focus on laws related to banking, finance and insurance, the pillars of modern economies, and regulatory bodies related to these fields such as Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), Competition Commission of India (CCI), and Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA).

Data Science is a blend of various tools, algorithms, and machine learning principles with the goal to discover hidden patterns from the raw data. Data Scientist not only does the exploratory analysis to discover insights from it, but also uses various advanced machine-learning algorithms to identify the occurrence of a particular event in the future. Data Science is primarily used to make decisions and predictions making use of predictive causal analytics, prescriptive analytics (predictive plus decision science) and machine learning.

The objective of this program is to equip the students with ways to find solutions to the challenges imposed by climate change, and the principle on which to build the future of business. It covers general management skills as well as the ability to apply those skills in transition to sustainability and the efficient use of natural resources, thus adding an ethical dimension to business.

The global semiconductor market will be $655.6B in 2025 compared to $342.7B in 2015 with CAGR of 6.7%. (White paper IBS). The Indian semiconductor and embedded design industry are expected to earn revenues of $114.2B in 2025 compared to $27.6B in 2015, with a CAGR of 15.3%. This requires deep understanding and hands-on experience of industry relevant chip design and verification skills i.e. SOC, CMOS, RTL Design, Verilog HDL, FPGA and System Verilog. UPES has well equipped labs in VLSI Design, Embedded System, National Instruments lab (NI), DSP and RF lab.

This course provides a holistic view of the techno-commercial and policy-cum-regulatory framework of energy and its relationship with other sectors. The curriculum deepens the students’ understanding of the relationship between commercial economics, industry profitability, regulatory reforms vis-a-vis conservation, development, environmental impact, and judicious use of resources.

The course allows students to understand the implementation of governmental policy that serves the population, the workings of political activity, and the process of developing public programs for the society. Moreover, the program provides the theoretical underpinning, conceptual and analytical tools, fundamentals, and the ideological dynamics of the field of study. These are critical for the effective functioning of public offices.

The curriculum focuses on various aspects of mass media -- from writing for media to developing communication skills to learning the basics of electronic and digital productions. The program also bridges the gap between theory and practice by engaging with industry experts who bring real-world knowledge and experience to our students.
