Who are some of the best faculty in Thapar University?

Anil SinghStudied at Thapar University

I am an alumnus of Thapar University. Back when I was a student, Dr. V.P. Aggarwal was one of the best teachers at Thapar.

Back in 2014, sir used to teach us KOM (Kinematics of Machines - UME 302). I would usually arrive late for all my lectures, and sit for them with almost no interest. But one of sir’s classes truly inspired me and changed my perspective on life.

Our ESTs were nearing, and so those days very few students attended classes. Sir was teaching us a topic and at the end, he asked us for our doubts. All of us were sitting in a disinterested manner, almost as if forced to attend the lectures. This was when sir told us that he had come back to the university at 4 in the morning, straight from Jabalpur.

He had come back specifically for our class. When we asked him why he took so much pain for a single class, he replied that it was duty to teach his students. He said he would have felt restless with the thought that maybe some student had a query that day which couldn’t be solved because of his absence.

He told us that for him duty was above everything else. He wanted all his students to work hard and stay motivated. That day changed my perspective on life, and made me realize the importance of hardwork.

This is why, for me, sir is one of the best teachers whom I studied under at Thapar University.

Which college is better in terms of study, faculty, environment, and placement of CS branch - NIT, Srinagar (J&K) or Thapar University?

Tithi AggrawalLives in New Delhi

The CS branch of Thapar University has much better ranking placements, and faculty as compared to NIT Srinagar.

Academic excellence: Thapar University has ranked 20 among the top engineering colleges of India according to the NIRF report 2023. This proves its academic excellence in terms of study, faculty, infrastructural ability, and placement as well.
Faculty: The students will get an opportunity to learn under the guidance of highly educated and experienced faculties in their respective fields with an extensive understanding of the industry.
Environment: Due to tight eligibility criteria and a high fee structure Thapar University has a good quality of students. Rajiv Rattan (IPS Officer Current Designation: DG). Vishal Narang (Assistant Vice President - Engineering at Aricent, Gurgaon, Haryana, India) and many more eminent professionals are notable alumni of this institute.
Placement: In 2023 the highest package offered in placements was INR 40 LPA. The median package stood at INR 10.97 LPA.

So, based on these factors, Thapar University will be a better option than NIT, Srinagar. While both institutions have their merits, Thapar University is exceptional for its reputation for academic excellence, robust extracurricular opportunities, and cutting-edge facilities.
