The admission process of Thapar University for its BE courses is through AIEEE examination which is currently merged in JEE. I got a rank of AIR 13559. The reason I chose Thapar over other NIT or some private brand is because of the reputation it has. Also it has an alumunus network of people working at top management roles. It still thrives to maintain its position among B.tech institutes and so attracts a lot of good students facilitating scope of peer to peer learning.

Course curriculam is drafted keeping in mind the industry standards and latest trends. There are some new subjects like mechatronics also being added. So the whole learning process is step by step.

I did my internhip with Center of Railway and Informatics System. The experience waa really good as I got a hands on experience in the industry for 6 months. Also faculty mentors were alloted during the internship in case of any help required from the college.

Placements and job opportunities are really good. Some of the best companies ranging from Deloitte,KPMG to Microsoft etc visit the campuses offering good packages. Placements are being handled by H S Bawa who is the placement coordinator at Thapar Institute. Companies visiting the campus also offer a wide variety of jobs with different profiles. So overall scenario for campus placement is really good with 100% placements. In that way it has a good launching platform for students.

College festivals are generally 3 days long. We have a technical and a cultural fest Aranaya is the technical fest which goes on for 3 days and attracts crowds from premium institutes competing fiercly. Saturnalia is the cultural fest which also invites some of the best bands.

It has a 262 acre campus with ample amount of greenery and space available for extracurricular activities. Gender ratio is good and is increasing with about 40% girls. Cultural diversity on campus is also high with people joining in from different regions of India.

Hostels are spacious properly ventillated and above average. There is a premium hostel also available called J hostel which has all the facilities like TV,Fridge etc available for students. Also it has single rooms and suplorts a cluster system with 11 si

Alumini network of Thapar is in the development phase. We have alumnis which are working at top management positions in the industry. Alumnis are really supportive and try to remain connected with the current students as a supporting pillar.

Thapar Institute has some of the best faculties across campuses with a teaching experience of 20-30 years.
