Remarks

Talented students come to this college because of the reputation of this college but after 4 years they leave unsatisfied with what they achieve.I would blame it on the ill-management and lack of administrative invlovements, absolutely no flexibilities are provided.Thapar university is just becoming a side business for THAPAR INDUSTRY.

Entrance Preview

JEE Mains-178/360 and 93% in CBSE 12th.At my marks only average college where I could get CSE was Thapar university.

Course Curriculum Overview

2

It is actually followed from foreign universities and has flexible elective s.it is being followed from bits and MIT model and electives options are as per the required by our generation.And recently the college has had tie ups with trinty college, Dublin regarding Research, internships and student exchange program .so research opportunities are great indeed

Internships Opportunities

No they don't .we have to make our own way.But recently the college has had tie ups with trinty college, Dublin regarding Research, internships and student exchange programs. o maybe it's a time for change, apart from that there are many companies that come for internships.

Placement Experience

2.5

For CSE and mechanical placements are above average but for the rest of branches its average being still living on its previous And recently the college has had tie ups with trinty college, Dublin regarding Research, internships and student exchange program, so maybe the placement would improve, but mostly MNCs come for placements and the recent data has been good purely because of the talent in students.

College Events

3

There is only 1 techno-cultural fest Saturnalia.Participation is very close to nil.prizes are not worth taking effort, events are not that bigStudents from over 15 colleges from around the country participated various cultural competitions, ranging from Hindi, English and Punjabi Singing, Bhangra, Western Dance, Mimicry, Twisted Movie, Movie Making, Nukkad Natak and Fashion Show. The event commenced on 21st March with the Dean of Student Affairs, Thapar University, Dr. Seema Bawa and Mr. PK Bajpayee, Director, TU lighting the lamp. Post an Inaugural Fashion Show, Rock band and Giddha performances, the various competitions were conducted in the following three days.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Campus Life

1

Gender ratio is good than many other engineering collegesCultural events and sports activities are really competitive as there are many students who come through sports quota, diversity quotaDiversity is not great as max students are from punjab due to 50% quota.Otherwise cultural life is at its high.

Hostel Facilities

2

They are good but obviously it's of value to the money we pay.This is hostel J one of the best in Asia.A hostel with 7-storey building, surely deserve a place in top hostels of India.You can enjoy pleasure of both Single Room living and Shared Room living : Closed group of 11 single rooms in each wing with a common hall, common restroom.24*7 mess* (Could you name me any other hostel which has this facility.)1 LED television for each group of 11 students. (I doubt if any other hostel would have this ratio)Awesome location of the hostel -- from each room you can have beautiful view of campus, football ground, maal road and all nature's beauty.A Balcony for every room.A cricket bat and ball for each wing. (Ever thought of getting this in hostel?)A refrigerator, an Aquaguard, A sofa set for each wing of 11 people. (I don't expect a better ratio for academic hostel in India.A hostel mess where at times you can have Domino's Pizza for lunch!

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network is strong and proper society is made to act as a bridge between the students and alumni(SAIC)

Exam Structure

MSTs, ESTs and quizes and lab evaluations along with tut tests and project briefings and submissions.They are frequent and with all tut tests, quizzes and 75% attendance it extracts ur time for socio-cultural lifestyle.And recently the college has had tie ups with trinty college, Dublin regarding Research, internships and student exchange program, So the examination structure would also be followed from Trinity college Dublin.

Faculty

1

Not at all good .at least for the money that we pay.All of them are mostly mtechs pursuing their PHDs in thapar university, and they have no interest in actual teaching of subject.all they want is to finish the course structure and syllabus so that exams can take place and no actions are against them.Most of the teachers don't have technical knowledge of the subject they teach and just come in class and stand for whole 1 hr.

Various companies like alstom, infosys, accenture, TCS, Wipro, amazon, Walmart, JP Morgan chase and co. etc visit campus every year and recruit students. Approx 300+ companies visit campus and above 80% of cse students are placed but In other streams like ECE.EE and ME etc placements are campartively lower and students face difficulty in order to get placed. MY plan is job oriented i also want to get placed on campus and hope so i will get placed in a good company.
