What you need to know before coming to Thapar Institute of Engineering and technology!

I am currently during by B.Tech in Computer Engineering..I chose this course because. it aligns with my future prospects. The faculty here is well trained..They come from top-notch universities around India and are highly experienced. Though Faculty-student ratio can be improved a little bit as there are a bit more students than the facult members.. There are two term examinations which are conducted : Mid Semester and End semester apart from the quizzes,sessionals and lab evaluations. If you are regular in your studies and attend classes frequently, it is very comfortable to pass and even get good grades.

Again, as a first year.. i dont know alot about internships but from what i have heard.. companies put a CGPA cut for students and then there are personal inetrviews and group discussion rounds and major recruiters are JP Morgan and DE shaw

I am in first year right now, so i don't know a lot about placements..but from what i haveheard is that the highest package offered last year was 55Lakh RS per annum and average was around 12 lakhs per annum..

Thapar has increased its fees exponentially over the past few years.. It is not easy for a middle class family candidate to afford the tuition fees along with accommodation and other expenses..It takes around 22-30 lakhs depending upon your lifestyle to study here for four years. The provie abundant scholarships on basis of merit and family income. For first years, merit scholarship is provided on the basis of JEE mains scoreand from second year onwards, scholarships are provided on the basis of CGPA scored by the candidate.

Campus life here is fantastics! They have humongous infrastructure which is spread over an area of 300 acres..every facility from cafes,shops, banks,atms to a central park(Nirvana), state of art-hostels are provided for.. There are more than 50 clubs, socities and chapters in thapar in total and one can join them according to one's preferences and likings!

Hostels are really top notch.. i am currenlty in hostel k which is two seater AC.. you can choose room acoording to your own needs and likings.. Basically in every hostel, they have a air conditioned mess, gym, reading rooms and laundry services are also taken care of! In every room you will find a matress, curtains, a table and a chair, fan ,AC(if you have opted for one!). Though mess fees is very economical ..Hostel fees is a bit too high! Mine is 52000 Rs for one semester.. Mostly, hostel allotments are carried out By DosA OFFICE and you get a mail regarding it.
