Remarks

Though management is trying its level best but the increasing intake will be a problem in future.It will be hard to manage and new faculties will be needed soon.Though the college is reviewed by trinity college ,ireland, some initiatives are needed to be taken.

Entrance Preview

JEE advance-7600. Jee mains- 173, 12th board- 91.6% cbse. Vitee rank-5600. Thapar university takes admissions based on jee mains scorecard.Since i was stuck in choosing lower branches of iits or computer science in private universities like Thapar, Vit etc. So instead of taking a risk i chose Thapar

Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

Course curriculum is very good for mechanical and civil departments after its collaboration with trinity,but for computer science it has degraded. We are still studying subjects of mechanical and civil departments rather working on our core cse subjects. The internships will not be provided by companies visiting this year for 2nd year cse students because of less subjects taught to us.Instead the leftout subjects will be taught in summer of this year.

Internships Opportunities

Yes the college provides internships including summer and 6 month internships.Internships were provided by Samsung, ST Microelectronics, Myntra, Proptiger, NXp Semiconductors , Blackrok, Walmart etc with stipend varying from 10,000 to 40,000 in rupees.

Campus Life

campus is great with 250 acre campus, wifi in all labs and hostels,all sports facilities and an central library. There are 5-6 canteens with great food. Infrastructure is improving with one more academic block coming. Gender ratio is fair with around 350 girls in the batch of 1500 students. The university is culturally diverse with students mostle from Punjab, HP,Haryana,UP,MP,Rajasthan and Bihar.

Hostel Facilities

4

Hostels are very good when it comes to infrastructure but lacks quality of food except few like J hostel.The hostels are in very good condition are are renovated in a particular time and include facilities like game room that includes Table tennis,chess,carro etc.,tv room, Gym with all machines working and night canteen that opens till 12am.

Alumni/Alumna

Seniors here are very helpful and are there to help right from the counselling session.There is a society,FROSH involved to interact with freshers and make them familiar with culture of college.The college has strict policy regarding to ragging. The alumni network is very good with alumini spread all over the world and connectd to Thapar in various ways.This is taken care by the SAIC society.

Exam Structure

1st semester is overall chilled out but the subsequent ones are quite hectic. along with midsem and endsem, there are quizzes and lab evaluations which contribute in significant manner to the weightage. Labs are frequent and many labs have weekly evaluations that contribute a bit a final evaluations.

Faculty

3

HOD of most departments are skilled and holds a phd degree and have published many research papers.The other faculty is new and dont have much experience.Due to increasing seats the faculty is expected to teach more courses and quality is also deteriorating .Student to faculty ratio will be around 60:1.The course curriculum here is focused widely on mechanical and other core branches and is improving.

Companies start coming summer internships in the 5th and 6th semester though ,CG cuts are imposed so very less students are elgible to sit for these companies, The real placement season is 7th and 8th semester and many companies visit campus for placements. around 60 percent students got placed in the recent placement drive. The major recruiters are: Oracle, CISCO, JPMC,Deloite,IBM,ZS etc.

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.
