Thapar University , Patiala

I choose this college at the first place because Thapar University offers best placements compared to other private universities. Thapar University provides best campus life and academics. Other advantage of joining Thapar University that it is located in north and being from Punjab encourages me to join this college.Thapar have an excellent placement records , qualified team of professionals as well as faculty members who provide the best possible guidance. One bad aspect of this college is that it's hard to get CSE without good JEE marks as seats are limited and need to have minimum 60% in CBSE to clear cutoff. Admission process involves JEE Rank and counselling process , rounds based on closing rank and therefore clearing cutoff can apply. Thapar University starts from June mid till August. I used Carrer 360 while selecting this college.

I choose BTech in Electronics and communication over any other course because I was more inclined learning new technologies and get knowledge in that domain. Mostly professor in our college did there specialization in there respective field including Specialization Networks and Crytography , Specialization in Machine learning , Statistical Methods in Computer Science and NLP. Boys to girl student ratio in Thapar University is 7:3 which is not that bad and will definately improve by time. All the professors, associate professors were higly qualified and specialized in respective technology. Courses that were taught were reviewed from time to time. Teaching method and learning activities and the assessment, active participation of student in all learning activities. Term exams took place twice in a year and if you do well throughout the year by making notes regularly and solving previous year questions. It won't be tough for you to get a good cgpa.

Campus life in Thapar University which i really miss after passing out from college. Cultural fest organized by college is Mudra Eve in the October month. Food festival in Sept starting.

Hostel facilities provided in the hostel are very good. Rooms are spacious enough and relatively cool during the summers. Although Rooms are built for 3 sharing they are converted into 4 sharing rooms with some rooms in Hostel C being new created for 4 sharing basis. There are gardens in every block and ground floor are much better than the upper ones though. You can play cricket , badminton or volley ball in the hostels even during nights. Food wise all the hostels are more or less the same. Quality of meals are okayish There is no fixed menu for all hostels. All hostels have their own Mess Executive Committee comprising of Hostel residents. Breakfast timming 7:30 - 9 , Lunch 12 - 2 and Dinner 8 - 9. There are no snacks provided in the mess , you have to buy it from hostel canteens. Whole process of hostel registration is done online , you can login through their website and login as a group using your roll number as a login ID and password that is provided during registration process. Depending on the cost , hostel and mess charges seems afforadable.

No, there was no as such group discussion or interview or written test for the admission. Thapar doesn't conducts any online test rather it focuses on JEE Main and basis of JEE main rank. Admission are provided to the candidates on the basis of marks scored in the entrance examination. So admission into various courses is offered on the basis of scores of national level entrance test. To get admission in Thapar University , candidates have to participate in the counselling process after scoring in JEE Main exam. I did prepare for JEE Main in 11th and 12 th class and side by side preparing for CBSE exams as well. JEE Main is needs little more preparation and bit harder. So , I solved a lot of JEE Main mock tests and sample papers to crack JEE Main exam.
