How is the student quality at Thapar University?

OG
Orchid Gupta Posted On : August 11th, 2021
B.Tech Electronics and Computer Engineering, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2020)

Thapar University offers admission based on the JEE Main cut-offs or merit basis. So, the quality of students is usually high. 

The fee is a concern for students of Thapar as it has increased drastically to the level at par with BITS Pilani and others. But being a private institute, it does not get funding from the Government. So, the institute had no choice but to escalate its fee for up-gradation.

The raised fee and seats had justified reactions from the students. There is a slight quality drop in the education, but it is not extreme to tarnish the institute's image. Such decline in quality is ordinary in the top institutes as well. common

Overall, the institute has a decent bunch of students.

Can a student graduating from Thapar University be accepted into top notch post-graduate/MBA schools?

SP
Shreya Pathak Posted On : August 10th, 2021
Works at I.B.M (2019 - Present)

One of my colleagues previously pursued his studies at Thurgood Marshall Law from Texas, which was slightly lower ranked than the schools situated in Chicago. Despite the drawbacks, he still acquired the opportunity to enroll at one of the top institutes later in his life.

Having said that, low-ranked schools or institutes generally do not preclude you from attempting your chances at several other top institutes. 

However, it will still require a lot of effort and input from your side. In case you want to be eligible, you should secure a score over 780 in GMAT, with a simultaneous record of work experience.

Only then can you think of getting a call from the administration. You will also have to fulfill several in-built criteria made or followed by them altogether.

Samira Puri Posted On : August 10th, 2021
Studied at Calcutta University (2019)

Having known some people studying in both these institutions, I can say that if you plan to get a job offer, go for CS at Thapar University. If not and are interested in doing research opt for Engineering Physics at DTU.

  • Engineering Physics is a field which does not anymore provide a promising opportunity to its aspirants. 
  • If you go with this choice of branch you might get research opportunities after higher studies. 
  • Moreover, if you have prioritized DTU, keep in mind that the quality of education and academic career is reducing with every passing year. 
  • Few of the many branches at DTU are striving to keep their esteemed position with engineering physics not being one of them.
  • Instead, CS at Thapar University would be an excellent option for building a path for your career. 
  • This branch is known for its exceptional academics and for the opportunities held out to the students. 
  • Although it is a batch of almost 570 students in CS you can certainly end up with a 5LPA and above package by the end of your 4th year.
Categories CS at Thapar University
Course Fee 13.23 lakh
Highest CTC 22 LPA
