Thapar University, BE, Instrumentation & Control Engineering

Reviewed on May 27, 2020

Remarks

Thapar is a very popular and old university. The cutoffs might be low now, but the placements are still on point. The college environment and atmosphere is very friendly and fun loving and extra curricular are really nice, which i feel is very important for student's overall personality growth

Course Curriculum Overview

The course curriculum for my branch was pretty much updated to the standards, I know this because I appeared for a government exam (technical post) and the syllabus for the exam aligned with what I studied in college. Industrial exposure is something that is limited for the students of Thapar. As the college is in Patiala, there are no industrial or corporate dives in TU. You can find those in many colleges of Delhi, Mumbai. Faculty of TU is one of the best in Punjab, all are graduates or post graduates from IITs and NITs. My favourite faculty was Dr. Vishal Srivastav (EIED)

Class Size: 100Course Fees: INR 1300000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Ive internship for Deloitte for my 6 months internship at the Bangalore office. I was placed on campus, intern + full time, and my stipend was 25,000.

Placement Experience

Thapar University is still in the league of top University just because of its placement cell. The placement cell of the college has strong ties with most of the major companies. Top companies recruiting from Thapar are Samsung, Deloitte, JP Morgan, Reliance, Wipro, Standard Chartered, Maruti, Honda, Google, etc. alumni network is strong and youâ€™ll always find a Thapar alumni working for any firm youâ€™re trying to apply. I myself work at Deloitte and Iâ€™ve referred a couple of my juniors.

College Events

Campus events such as Saturnalia, Mudra, Urja used to be good but you cannot compare them from other engineering colleges like SRM or VIT. The main issue being the college is in a small town, Patiala, and sponsorships were rare. The fests in Thapar are mid-scale fests

Campus Life

Thapar University has recently been up scaling their infrastructure. The library, auditoriums, hostels, blocks are really nice and the sports infrastructure is EXCELLENT. There are very few colleges in India where you can find a proper 400m synthetic athletics track, football, cricket grounds, tennis courts (6) and basketball courts (6).

Hostel Facilities

Hostel facilities are available for every student. I recommend one should live inside the campus hostels only as they are very nice and cheaper as compared to PGs in Patiala (10k/mo). Hostel life is the best part of the whole journey and there are fee hostels like J, iconic, and K hostel which are one of the best hostels you'll find in any engineering college. Hostel facilities for girls are also very nice and safe.

Dislikes

Attendence i perdonally didn't like, but it is mandatory
little bit parking issue inside the campus
overall college is good, you can go for it but not for placements

Placement Experience:

Rest everything is good with college, only i have issue with placement, since there are very poor or only core sales job in punjab, college is able to provide that only. You have to work your ass off if you want to get good placement, provided their education quality is good

THAPAR REVIEW

Likes

The infrastructure is great with state of the art labs and equipment
The library is really nice place to study
Lots of hangout spots in and around campus

Dislikes

Less opportunities for core branches as less core companies visit campus
75 percent attendance policy for classes
Very high fees compared to other colleges

Placement Experience:

Companies start coming summer internships in the 5th and 6th semester though ,CG cuts are imposed so very less students are elgible to sit for these companies, The real placement season is 7th and 8th semester and many companies visit campus for placements. around 60 percent students got placed in the recent placement drive. The major recruiters are: Oracle, CISCO, JPMC,Deloite,IBM,ZS etc.

Good infrastructure, campus and faculty. Have to improve placements and industrial visits.

Likes

The campus is very green and clean. Infrastructure is good and one can feel fresh air here in campus
The faculty is excellent, almost all of the professors and assistant professors have a degree from renowned institutes. So they know their subject and field very well.
Hostels are good and affordable. Although the hostels itself are old, services are good and you get a nice room for the price/rent

Dislikes

The crowd isn't good. Always demotivated to do anything productive regarding studies. Some people are just here for time-pass
Very less site and outdoor visits. For practical experience, they should conduct industrial visits, but that happens rarely
Placements are really Dry and there is decline in company visits for placement.

Placement Experience:

Placements are not that good. Although companies come, there is a lack of mass recruiters or reputed organizations. One has to grind hard here for placements. If you're a CS student, you will have to face immense competition here. As for core branches, placements are severely dry. Students gets eligible in 4th year onwards for placements. Some of recruiters here are Trident, TCS, Reliance, Sonalika and other few. Every company offers around 10-15 selected students for a job. Highest package ever was 15LPA and average is 3.2LPA. Percentage placed is only around 15% here. My plans after the degree are to apply for govt exams.

An In-Depth Look at Campus Life and opportunities at Chandigarh University

Likes

I think, the campus is being liked by everyone whether its staff member or a student, because the university consists of many blocks or departments and that too are named as A1, A2, A3, A4 & B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 & C1, C2, C3 & D1,D2,D3,D4,D5,D6,D7,D8
Parks and all are made for the relaxation purpose of the student
Car Parkings are available separately for the students and staff and that also inside the campus which is ambitious.

Dislikes

The semester fees and other expenses is relatively higher as compared to other institutions
Some students find the university’s rule such as strict attendance policies and accurate timings for the classes, quite stringent
Mostly 2 common times, one is in morning nearby 8.50 AM to 9.50 AM and in evening nearby 3.50 PM to 5.00 PM, the rush is like horses and buffaloes! There is so much over crowded & most of the crowd occurs by the Autos, but no one do anything for that

Course Curriculum Overview:

As i have opted the course B.Pharmacy! I rate the course as optimal, neither too bad nor too good, its medium! Now comes on teaching method, some teachers are really well and good and few are those who does not teaches but only writing writing, thats it, they will not explain at all! And one thing they should change is that All Courses except B.Pharmacy in Chandigarh University have the criteria to pass the student even below the 40% only or the half of the highest number scored by the topper in the class, and for Bpharmacy its minimum requirement to pass the exam is 50%, Oh My God! This needs to be changed, Now every year, in Bpharmacy, the overall 80% students are getting Compartments (Back/Fail) in the subjects, but the University is not understanding it all. So this should be changed as earlier!

The sports and the various facilities that they provide for relaxing
The Library that remains open till 10-11 at night for those who wish to study till late
Great mentors and very helpful teachers who are always willing to help

Dislikes

The hectic schedule and curriculum that the students have to follow.
The lack of certain facilities that would help the students improve thoer personalities
Too much strictness and restrictions with everything that someone wishes to do

Course Curriculum Overview:

The interest in coding influenced me to choose this subject and course. The curriculum gets me ready for a 9-5 job which kind of gets hectic. The teachers could maybe schedule classes to give the students time to study what they want to and if they wish to do a course outside the university they have the time to do so rather than just going by the university curriculum
