Remarks

Talented students come to this college because of the reputation of this college but after 4 years they leave unsatisfied with what they achieve.I would blame it on the ill-management and lack of administrative invlovements, absolutely no flexibilities are provided.Thapar university is just becoming a side business for THAPAR INDUSTRY.

Entrance Preview

JEE Mains-178/360 and 93% in CBSE 12th.At my marks only average college where I could get CSE was Thapar university.

Course Curriculum Overview

2

It is actually followed from foreign universities and has flexible elective s.it is being followed from bits and MIT model and electives options are as per the required by our generation.And recently the college has had tie ups with trinty college, Dublin regarding Research, internships and student exchange program .so research opportunities are great indeed

Internships Opportunities

No they don't .we have to make our own way.But recently the college has had tie ups with trinty college, Dublin regarding Research, internships and student exchange programs. o maybe it's a time for change, apart from that there are many companies that come for internships.

Placement Experience

2.5

For CSE and mechanical placements are above average but for the rest of branches its average being still living on its previous And recently the college has had tie ups with trinty college, Dublin regarding Research, internships and student exchange program, so maybe the placement would improve, but mostly MNCs come for placements and the recent data has been good purely because of the talent in students.

College Events

3

There is only 1 techno-cultural fest Saturnalia.Participation is very close to nil.prizes are not worth taking effort, events are not that bigStudents from over 15 colleges from around the country participated various cultural competitions, ranging from Hindi, English and Punjabi Singing, Bhangra, Western Dance, Mimicry, Twisted Movie, Movie Making, Nukkad Natak and Fashion Show. The event commenced on 21st March with the Dean of Student Affairs, Thapar University, Dr. Seema Bawa and Mr. PK Bajpayee, Director, TU lighting the lamp. Post an Inaugural Fashion Show, Rock band and Giddha performances, the various competitions were conducted in the following three days.

The scholarship is provided to the students who wish to pursue B.E/ B/Tech first year at the Thapar University.

Campus Life

1

Gender ratio is good than many other engineering collegesCultural events and sports activities are really competitive as there are many students who come through sports quota, diversity quotaDiversity is not great as max students are from punjab due to 50% quota.Otherwise cultural life is at its high.

Hostel Facilities

2

They are good but obviously it's of value to the money we pay.This is hostel J one of the best in Asia.A hostel with 7-storey building, surely deserve a place in top hostels of India.You can enjoy pleasure of both Single Room living and Shared Room living : Closed group of 11 single rooms in each wing with a common hall, common restroom.24*7 mess* (Could you name me any other hostel which has this facility.)1 LED television for each group of 11 students. (I doubt if any other hostel would have this ratio)Awesome location of the hostel -- from each room you can have beautiful view of campus, football ground, maal road and all nature's beauty.A Balcony for every room.A cricket bat and ball for each wing. (Ever thought of getting this in hostel?)A refrigerator, an Aquaguard, A sofa set for each wing of 11 people. (I don't expect a better ratio for academic hostel in India.A hostel mess where at times you can have Domino's Pizza for lunch!

Alumni/Alumna

Alumni network is strong and proper society is made to act as a bridge between the students and alumni(SAIC)

Exam Structure

MSTs, ESTs and quizes and lab evaluations along with tut tests and project briefings and submissions.They are frequent and with all tut tests, quizzes and 75% attendance it extracts ur time for socio-cultural lifestyle.And recently the college has had tie ups with trinty college, Dublin regarding Research, internships and student exchange program, So the examination structure would also be followed from Trinity college Dublin.

Faculty

1

Not at all good .at least for the money that we pay.All of them are mostly mtechs pursuing their PHDs in thapar university, and they have no interest in actual teaching of subject.all they want is to finish the course structure and syllabus so that exams can take place and no actions are against them.Most of the teachers don't have technical knowledge of the subject they teach and just come in class and stand for whole 1 hr.

Placement Experience:

Placement scenario is good and it is improving since then. TPO looks after this process and it is responsible to call comapnies to the college and discuss about the eligibility of the students who can appear for the placements. For internships, students in the 3rd year appear for it while for placements 4th year students can appear. The average package is approx. 8-9 LPA while the highest has gone to 64 LPA during my college duration. Almost all students get placement.

Placement Experience:

Though when I got admission in this college, I saw the placement rates were very nice, around 95%, but maybe it was our session's fault. I passed out in 2024, and in that particular year, the placements were not as expected and as seen in the previous batch, so that was something very much disappointing because I paid so much money on a degree, only everything was good about the college, but in the end, placement matters during my session. Usually, the companies that hired for example, 10 students only hired two students.

Placement Experience:

College does provide a decent number of companies to students to get placed but as per seniors Companies come with good package but students fail to grab them. Students are eligible for placement form 7th semester. As data given to us from t&p for this year currently the minimum package is 6 lpa and average is touching 8 but don't get excited it's just the starting months of placement season. My plan is to get a good college for post grad as that was my plan from the start ??
