This has led to continuous advancement in the facilitation of creative and collaborative learning experiences for students by reorienting the course curriculum and the exploration of online tools, as well as open-source courseware, thereby enabling the possibility of unlimited learning and access to a wealth of information.

The new curriculum framework of UPES, ABLE (Academic Blueprint for Learning Excellence), is comprehensive throughout its design. Nevertheless, it focuses on the unique requirement of the student to explore, discover the world, and be challenged.
