== Critical reception ==
Archika Khurana reviewed ''UP65'' for the ''[[The Times of India|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."<ref>{{Cite news |title=UP65 Season 1 Review : This engineering student drama fell short of expectations |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/web-series/reviews/hindi/up65/up65-season-1/seasonreview/100765495.cms |access-date=2024-11-19 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref>

Palak Shukla of ''[[Amar Ujala]]'' gave a harsher critique, rating the series 1.5 stars out of 5.
