Remarks

There are some portions where improvements are needed such as student intake. The student intake is increasing every year and this is leading to chaos in the campus. The cutoffs should be a little more high so as to reduce the student intake as well as easier to organize. otherwise, the admission process was okay

Course Curriculum Overview

Teachers and faculty are okayish to good teachers are really interested in teaching with the slides and presentations. they make us learn from the notes and always take up our doubts very well. they explain things two to three times. they are also very humble.

Class Size: 150Course Fees: INR 170000 per year

Placement Experience

Placements and internships start from the 5th semester till the 8th semester. Cisco, JP Morgan, DE shaw, American express, axis bank, Whirpool, iON, Mahindra, and other big companies visit the college and offer good packages to students. The highest being 45lakhs and the average being 9lakh-10lakh including all branches. Both tech and non-tech visit college every year. Stipends provided by companies ranges till 50k.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees are quite high if including all expenses such as hostel, mess, semester fees and daily expenses it can go up to 400000-500000. But it also offers scholarships to students which can be applied for, after clearing some formalities as per college policies we can get scholarships such as tuition fees, etc. But on the brighter side college also offers jobs and placements with good packages though the fees is high but will also provide a return of investment on the fees.

Campus Life

4.5

The college organizes fest on regular basis the annual fest being Saturnalia and besides that having Thapar foodfest where all big brands such as keventers, pizza hut participate in the event. Thapar has one the best libraries one could find with a great infrastructure and the library contains books and journals on every topic. Sports are good, it has one of the best cricket grounds in north India, and also a synthetic running track. 8 tennis courts, basketball court, indoor-outdoor badminton etc.

Hostel Facilities

4.5

Thapar has one the best hostels of the country though hostel fees is quite high but it provides great facilities such as air conditioning, hot water showers, hand dryers, well furnished study table, comfortable chairs, beds and almirahs. Mess food is not too good or not too bad but is eatable, scope of improvements are there. Hostels are allocated based on cgpa one got in previous semester.

Hostel Fee: INR 100000 per year

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.

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
