Cast and characters

Critical reception

Archika Khurana reviewed UP65 for the Times of India and rated it 2 stars out of 5. She noted "While there is no doubt that the topic has potential and has been explored earlier, its execution fell short when compared to series such as ‘Kota Factory’ and others that focus on the day-to-day lives of engineering students. ‘UP65’ struggles to stand out in the genre, offering little in the way of novelty or a unique storyline."[9]

Palak Shukla of Amar Ujala gave a harsher critique, rating the series 1.5 stars out of 5. Shukla described it as "A ridiculous web series based on hostel life, a blot on the name of BHU IIT."[10]
