Placement Experience:
Placements for CSE are good.
Many companies visit the campus like JP morgan, Microsoft, Accenture, Cisco, Samsung, Infosys, TCS, etc.
Average package for CSE is 12 lakhs and highest domestic is around 70 lakhs.

- Infrastructure : The campus has the most well constructed, modern and impressive library and academic block that exceeds expectations. The lecture theatres and library being so well made add to the productivity by a huge margin !
- Exposure to the best : Whether its Google or apple , you will always have a senior placed in one of these dream companies who can guide you to do the same when your placement comes around.
Dislikes
- Sometimes the classes schedule may get hectic for a student on some particular days which may lead to lack of skill development and extra curricular on those days
Course Curriculum Overview:
My course is Electrical and computer engineering. I took this course because of the dual knowledge I will be getting in both the Computer science field and the electrical field. Today these two fields work together to be the most important work area at present. For example companies like Nvidia require a very specific skill set that lies in the intersection of these two branches. Apart from the intersection too , one can easily make their career in either one of those fields too making this choice perfect for me!

- Good campus size and amenities provided with ample of space
- Friendly and helpful staff and teachers. Also hostels are way too good compared to other colleges.
Dislikes
- The college campus has not very much stuff to engage around with and annual fests occurs after much discussion and very unpredictable.
- The classroom for lower branches are Non Ac making summer classes unbearable while upper branches have fully functional AC rooms.
Placement Experience:
Placement of Thapar is very good because when after covid many NITs struggle to offer placement to every student Thapar provided some excellent package where many of my colleagues were offered more than 20lpa packages with some of them exceeding 30lpa from companies like Linkedin.
JP morgan offered 15lpa to 25 students while blackrock offered 11lpa to 15 students.
My plans are to pursue MBA for which I am preparing as i have planned to do it from Germany.
Aug Weinderstein.

- One of the best things that anyone would easily notice in Thapar University is the world class infrastructure. No matter wherever you look whether in the classrooms or the hostels the infrastructure will steal your look for sure.
- The second thing I really liked is the hostel mess food. I have asked many students of other campuses about their mess food quality but listening to their reviews I found that the food in our hostels really stands out.
- Last but not the least... The gender ration in the campus is a lot better as compared to other engineering colleges in India. So getting a partner is not that hard in the college, even with the minimal efforts one can easily get a partner.
Dislikes
- High fees. Undoubtedly the high fees is the biggest cons of this college. 6 lakhs per year is something very few families can afford.
- Punjabi Culture. Now this is something not everyone will like. So if you get irritated by the punjabi culture it will irritate you like hell.
- Entry timings. This is the most hated part of this college faced by students. So all students will have to get back to college by 8 pm at night, and to the hostels by 8.30. So it makes the college life quite boring.
Placement Experience:
The placements in Thapar are the best part about it. Majorly for the computer branches the placements are brilliant. Many famous MNCs visit the campus every year for the placements and recruit many students. The students become eligible to sit for internships and placements from second year. JP morgan , Apple , Amazon are some of the companies that visits the campus. 90 percent of the studets are placed.
My plans after degree is to persue masters from US.

Thapar University: 2 Answered Questions
What is your review of Thapar University(Patiala)?
Dhruv Chowdhurystudied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2020)
Thapar University has a brand name, however, the ground reality for this university is not very pleasant and it is swiftly losing the qualities that defined it in its glorious past. The rankings of students enrolled in the university are going down each year. The administration is taking serious measures against the same, however, because of these measures the other students are suffering. One example is the strict entry and exit timings.
Academically, your experience in this institution will differ according to your branch. The CSE branch has a cooperative faculty and lenient attendance criteria. This is not the case for other branches. In other branches, some faculty members may hold personal grudges against you while some may fail you for missing the required attendance mark (75%) by as small as 0.1%. The mess is below average and the classrooms are not very impressive. The administration is very slow.
However, there are positive points about Thapar University as well. The alumni from Thapar are placed in some of the best companies in India and abroad. It has some of the best synthetic courts in any engineering college in India. There are many teachers at Thapar University who serve as a source of inspiration to their students. Sports facilities for all the major sports are great. Placements at Thapar University are great and the labs are well updated. Even though Thapar is facing a drug problem, its teachers and administration are very active in trying to solve this issue.
Thus, even though Thapar University has outlived its glorious days, it has some positive points too. It is completely your choice whether or not you wish to take admission into it.

Why are the placements in Thapar University so high despite the bad reviews of many students studying at Thapar?
Kriti GoyalStudied at Thapar University (2019)
Thapar University has better placements than most private colleges and NITs. But the problem is, placements here directly depend on the grades of the students, and only the serious ones who work hard to build their profile bag the best packages.
Now the reviews of students are mixed because not everyone invests the same efforts and bags high packages. The people giving bad reviews are the ones who did not build their resumes well.
The best thing about Thapar University is the level of freedom you get to experience here. However, the increasing intake is slowly deteriorating the student quality so you might want to consider this before joining.
