What is UPESMET 2026?
UPESMET 2026 is the university-level management entrance test conducted by the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES), Dehradun. It is for admission to the two-year MBA and integrated management programmes at the university.
Specialisations include Energy Management, Oil & Gas Management, Aviation Management, Logistics & Supply Chain, Business Analytics, and International Business.
The test is conducted online and is proctored. Candidates can take the test from any location with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. UPES does not allocate physical exam centres for UPESMET.
UPESMET 2026 Eligibility Criteria
UPES is a UGC-recognised private university and is NAAC A-grade accredited. UPESMET is one of three entry routes for MBA admission at UPES.
The other two routes are:
- A valid CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, NMAT, or GMAT score in place of UPESMET.
- Qualification through the personal interview round for select profiles.
Submitting only the UPESMET application keeps the candidature exam-based. Pairing it with a national-test scorecard broadens shortlisting consideration.
How to Fill UPESMET Application Form 2026
The application form is available at admission.upes.ac.in. The slot booking window has been live since June 9, 2026.
One application must be submitted per programme. Multiple submissions from the same student are summarily rejected, and the fee is not refunded.
UPESMET Application Fee 2026
The application fee is ₹1,350 for all categories.
UPESMET Registration Trends — Last 5 Years
UPESMET registrations have grown steadily over the last five years. Attendance has held above 80% across all five cycles.
| Year | Conducting Body | Registered (Approx) | Appeared (Approx) | Attendance % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | UPES Dehradun | 22,000 | 19,000 | 86% |
| 2024 | UPES Dehradun | 20,500 | 17,500 | 85% |
| 2023 | UPES Dehradun | 18,000 | 15,400 | 85% |
| 2022 | UPES Dehradun | 15,500 | 13,000 | 83% |
| 2021 | UPES Dehradun | 12,000 | 9,800 | 81% |
Registrations grew from roughly 12,000 in 2021 to over 22,000 in 2025. This is on the back of UPES expanding its MBA specialisations and shifting the test to a fully online proctored format.
Attendance has held above 80% because the online mode removes travel and centre-allocation friction. For 2026, expect registrations in the 23,000–25,000 band, with attendance close to 85%.
UPES does not publish exact registration counts publicly. The figures above are indicative estimates compiled from year-on-year admission reports.
