Remarks
The admission process was all online and happened through the CBSE result and jee mains result. The university also provides many opportunities to upgrade your branch and the cut-off for the computer science branch was 95.67 percent during my admission. The form for application form was detailed and it can be easily found on the website of Thapar along with other details like the last date for submission and application fees. There were around 800 seats in my branch so to get a decent seat in Thapar one must get around 95 percentile in jee or 95%+ marks in CBSE exams
Course Curriculum Overview
The reason behind choosing computer engineering was because it has very much scope in the future and the faculty here are all qualified. Most of the faculty have completed their PhDs and are approachable to their students. The course curriculum is good and they provide a huge range of interesting electives that a student can decide from. There is a good faculty-student ratio of 1:18 and they guide the students throughout the semester. The exams are held twice in a semester with an internal before each exam. The exams are moderately difficult and the students who study for them can pass easily.

One can sit for the college placements in any year provided they have the necessary skills for that but most of the students apply for them after their 6th semester though many apply in the 5th semester too as they get an internship as well as a job offer.
