Review of Thapar

The course is updated to latest industry standards. Regular updations are made to the courses each year. The curriculum is based on developing skills not just theoretical knowledge. Dedicated lab sessions are given for majority all courses. The exams are scheduled in such a way that they are held after 2 months of teaching.

From 5th semester companies like bains and jp morgan chase hire summer interns. They offer an opportunity for the students to learn ang gain valuble experience. The stipends vary from 100000 to 50000 per month. Several students are working on research projects which gets backed by the university.

The placement cell of the college works for the students and offers several placement on campus. From the 5th semester onwards summer internships are offered to many deserving students. Several companies visit thapar for recruitment. Some of them are, amazon, apple, microsoft, google, rubrik, jp morgan chase, bains and complany, suzuki, abd many more. Around 50-70 percent students get placed on campus.

The fees per i.e. of two semesters would pand around 5-5.5 lakhs depending on the branch. The computer science engineering department offers 4 branches that costs around 5 lakhs, rest all the branches would be around 5 to 5.25 akhs. This fees include every facility accept for hostel accommodations. In this fees a medical insurance is also covered. There is an admission fee of 23000 for the first time. The university offers 3 scholarships in various forms, the merit based which gives complete waive off and partial waive off to fees, depending upon the merit. There is also a merit cum need scholarship which gives waive off completely. However these scholarships are applied for each semester so one has to remain in the top percentiles to avail the benefits throughout the 4 years. Also several aluminis offer scholarships to students as well.

There are several clubs, societies and chapters in thapar. I am part of two such societies. Societies are alloted a faculty as the president with students themselves as the ones that run the society. The main techno fest saturnalia is a yearly fest that attracts some of the best artists and is one of the best in north india. This is funded by the thapar management and also the organizing commitee is students only. Apart from this there are several fests and events that occur throughout the year. Every society has its flagship event throughout the year. There are dedicated sports events every year and also instructors for teaching students sports. All the classsrooms are upto modern standard with renovations goung on for those that lack. The library has an abundant amount of books for every genre every subject. The societies are a wonderful way to socialize and find people with common interest. There are about 43 total societies and clubs.

The hostels are a recommendation for thapar. The rooms are here ac and non ac both. In some hostels there are rooms with attached washroom. The mess menu is changed frequently by the mess commitee. The prices vary 65000 to 114000 per semester this includes the mess fee as well as all the maintaining fees.

I chose thapar because of several reasons, location, alumini network and also thapar being one of the most prestigious universities of our country. The admission is done on the basis of merit of jee mains and percentage in pcm of 12th boards.

There are total 2 exams each semester, and also quizs and lab evaluations that carry weightage to the final result. There are about a 100 hundred students with one faculty through classes and around 15 students to 1 faculty through the mentor program. Some of the faculities here are really amazing, they guide the students really great ways. The faculty often takes several students with them for researches and projects. It is quite easy to approach all the faculty.
