Remarks

The college has a low amount eating and hangout places within the campus and the hostels are far from thr academic area. The architecture jere is world class with all technological facilities provided within. There is a world class library with upto 8 floors that is a great aesthetic workplace.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

Course curriculum is similar to that of trinity university dublin. The course follows credit system based on relative marking. The course decided by the departments is well enough to understand the fundamentals of engineering. The college starts with basic subjects and then advances to complex numerical subjects. The whole curriculum also includes one project semester internship necessary for the basic understanding of an industry. For research work, there is a research project of one year during the final year where all the fundamentals of engineering and research are required to construct a project that could bring advancement in a particular field. The exams are done twice per semester, Mid sems and End sems, the mid sems usually have a weightage of 25% meanwhile end sems have a weightage of 45%. The rest 30% is internal marking which include projects, lab work, lab viva, Tutorial tests and assignments.

The alumni here is works in collaboration with the college faculty and can be contacted if a student needs assistance regarding a subject or extracurricular activity. The alumni and the seniors also provide help if needed and camn be contacted easily through a department.

Admission

I got admitted in Thapar University through Leet enterance exam. In may to june, leet form gets released to register for test. The test has a specific number of seats. If one has obtained a good rank in the test, he/she can affix their seat on the basis of marks obtained in the test. Once selected, the initial process is to deposit fees same day of admission alongwith all the necessary documents for verification. Two affidavits were required with notary signatures for anti ragging and non alcohol, both for students and parents. Once these formalities are done, the college provides date for start of semester classes along with timetable at a specific date.

Faculty

4

The faculty is actually very helpful and can provide assistance in college afterhrs. All the faculty has to be Phd qualified to join the college, therefore providing quality over quantity. There is about a faculty to student ratio of 1:8. The faculty also indulges with the students for their research work to enhance student skills and help them to if they want to pursue masters or work on research projects in the future.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I’d rate the curriculum like 7/10 in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness — it covers all the major CSE subjects like DSA, OS, DBMS, CN, AI, ML, Cloud, Cybersecurity basics, etc., and honestly that was one of the reasons I chose this course because at least the core subjects are solid even if PTU keeps some old-school stuff in the syllabus. The curriculum does prepare you for real-world stuff, but only to a point — like, if you focus on coding labs and projects you’ll be fine for internships, but if you depend only on classroom theory then it won’t help much because industry wants hands-on skills. For higher studies also it’s okay because theory depth in subjects like OS and DBMS is decent enough. But yeah, improvements are definitely needed — some subjects feel outdated, teachers should use more practical examples, and we need more real projects instead of copy-paste lab manuals; also some faculty teach directly from slides which gets boring fast. Exams come twice per semester (sessionals) plus the final end-sem around December/May; they’re mostly easy if you write long answers, but tricky if you rely only on understanding because PTU likes theory-heavy questions. Overall, the system works, but it could be way more practical and industry-focused.

Placement Experience:

Placements are not that good. Although companies come, there is a lack of mass recruiters or reputed organizations. One has to grind hard here for placements. If you're a CS student, you will have to face immense competition here. As for core branches, placements are severely dry. Students gets eligible in 4th year onwards for placements. Some of recruiters here are Trident, TCS, Reliance, Sonalika and other few. Every company offers around 10-15 selected students for a job. Highest package ever was 15LPA and average is 3.2LPA. Percentage placed is only around 15% here. My plans after the degree are to apply for govt exams.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The interest in coding influenced me to choose this subject and course. The curriculum gets me ready for a 9-5 job which kind of gets hectic. The teachers could maybe schedule classes to give the students time to study what they want to and if they wish to do a course outside the university they have the time to do so rather than just going by the university curriculum
