NIRF has ranked Thapar University 29th in the Engineering category. Whereas, LNMIIT Jaipur has been ranked 194 for B.Tech by NIRF. As Thapar university is among the finest universities for CSE in North India and LNMIIT Jaipur is an emerging college in the field of IT, these colleges are compared often. Given below is a brief comparison between the two institutes.
CSE at Thapar University
Thapar University final year students are required to spend a full six month semester in the industrial projects. It also arranges 6 weeks of summer training for students of various branches including CSE.
CSE at LNMIIT Jaipur
LNMIIT Jaipur provides opportunities for extensive research work. It also provides Summer internship programs. The programs are attended by students from IITs and NITs.
Although LNMIIT Jaipur has a lower course fee, in terms of placements, alumni network, coding culture Thapar University is better for CSE.
One of my friends studied at LNMIIT, so I might be able to provide you some information about it.
CS at Thapar is combined with other courses, some of which are worthy while others are not. You have to choose the course which you are interested in. Depending on that you can opt for the college, be it Thapar or LNMIIT.
The infrastructure and facilities at LNMIIT are really good. Faculty members are enthusiastic about both academics and extracurriculars. They will guide you through every step. LNMIIT has a great coding culture. Also, you will have cooperative seniors.
| Categories | LNMIIT | Thapar | Nirma |
| Course Fee | 12.36 lakhs | 13.23 lakhs | 7.24 lakhs |
| Highest CTC | 22 LPA | 8-10 LPA | 12-16 LPA |
| Average CTC | 11 LPA | 6 LPA | 7-9 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | TCS, CTS, Accenture, Capgemini, etc. | ZS Associates, Byju’s, TCS, ITC, etc. | Bosch, Havells, Honeywell, JP Morgan, etc. |
I am not well aware of Thapar, I can only say that the campus and course curriculum is more or less similar to LNMIIT, unlike Nirma which can be a bit different. So finally I will suggest you go for LNMIIT. Make Thapar your second choice as the quality of the branch varies. Lastly opt for Nirma if both do not work out.
