Thapar University Review

My admission took place online, I was first given a seat in the ECE branch, later it got updated to the CSE (Dera Bassi ) Branch. The application form can be found on the Thapar website ( thapar.edu ). The reservation is provided for the students of the OBC, SC, ST castes, The student from within Punjab can avail a certain cut off which can change per year given the number of the students and their JEE scores. The offline admission process can be improved by making certain good arrangements regarding the auditorium, where there seemed a bit of chaos, plus the people who were managing the parents and their wards were none other than Thapar 2nd year students themselves. So I think this ought to be done by some professionals, to avoid some chaotic moments during the offline admission process.

All the TAs are PHDs or doing PHDs, all lecturers are well - qualified and explain the concepts well enough to the students. Ratio is 1:30 (faculty:student ) Sometimes the faculty members teach mainly from the students, so students have to study themselves, and they can also ask doubts from the faculty members by whats app or mailing them. There are 2 term exams are MSTS and ESTS, MSTs carry 30% weightage, ESTs are comparatively difficult and hold 60% weightage and the rest weightage goes to lab evaluations and sessionals.

Companies like ION, Optum, adobe, JP morgan, De shaw, have come and provided internship opportunities to the students. the average stipend is above 50000. In the 8th semester students can either opt to go for the internship in the companies they get placed or they can opt for a project semester, and go for their own startups, Students can focus well don't their careers and much help is provided by the teachers. Once placed in a certain company you cannot appear in the interview of any other company, so we have to be very selective of the company you want to get placed into.

The highest package ranges from 40 to 44 lakh and avg. package of CSE branch ranges from 14LPA to 16 LPA. Almost more than 80% of my seniors have been placed in the 4th year of the CSE branch. Companies such ion, Microsoft, DE shaw, Optum, etc have visited this year for placement and internship opportunities. on campus internship opportunities start from 4 the year and placement opportunities start from 3rd year. My plan after getting a degree is to work in a product based company and later opt for a higher degree abroad.

Thapar is one of the most expensive colleges in India, The fees is 2 lakh per semester. They also charge 30k development fees , which seems very unnecessary and is not charges in other colleges. Some subjects seem tough to me, and also unnecessary for my field, but overall I am satisfied with the learning I get from college. Scholarships are provided to student s with a high CGPA like above 9.5. Their are many scholarship tests and opportunities one can avail in Thapar. The fees get reduced by a certain percentage.

Campus life is very Good, We have a swimming pool, a market area, which provides all the facilities, and we have 2 banks ICIC, SBI. We have a large library which is quite famous and has been previously used in some of the movie scenes. Classrooms are very professionals, everything is taken care of, like cleanliness. Almost all the sports activities take place on campus. There are 8 hostels of boys and 2 hostels of girls. There is a dispensary available and ambulance service is provided 24 hours.

The hostel Facility is excellent. Rooms are well spaced, they provide good food, and also charge a hefty amount of money. Overall the experience is quite well, study tables, chairs, beds, mattresses, are provided, electricity and water services are good. The hostel Registration process usually takes place through the webkiosk of Thapar, in online mode, My hostel was L hostel it was quite close to the academic building, although it was small compared to the other hostel but it did provide all the excellent facilities, also the rooms were cleaned every day.
