What is your review of Thapar University(Patiala)?
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.
What is the GATE cut off for MS by research program at IIT Madras mechanical branch?
If you are interested in pursuing MS in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Madras, there is a GATE cut-off, but it is not as high as that for M.Tech admission. This is because the institute follows a three-step process for admission that includes a written test and an interview, which are equally important in determining eligibility.
To be eligible for admission, you need to meet the following requirements:
- Have a good GATE score, which will be considered along with your undergraduate engineering marks and interview score.
- A score above 8 in your undergraduate program is considered good and can increase your chances of getting admitted.
- You will need to perform well in the interview to improve your chances of getting selected.
The admission process for MS in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Madras follows these steps:
- GATE cut-off - While there is a GATE cut-off, it is not the only factor considered for admission.
- Written test - The institute conducts a written test that covers topics from the GATE syllabus.
- Interview - Students who qualify for the written test will be invited for an interview with a panel of professors.
IIT Madras gives equal weightage to interview performance, engineering marks, and GATE scores for the final selection process. However, the speaker suggests that more weight should be given to interview performance and engineering marks in the admission process.
In conclusion, if you have a good GATE score, a high undergraduate percentage, and perform well in the interview, you have a good chance of being selected for the MS program in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Madras.

The older IITs have a strong alumni network, however, that is not taken into consideration for rankings.
