Course Curriculum Overview

3

I choose the COE computer engineering course, as the placement ratio in cse branches is higher and with good packages. It is a big campus with more than 10,000 students and around 1500+ faculties. Faculty are well qualified but some of the teaching methods are still the boring old-fashioned way of teaching through ppts and everything. Exams are going on throughout in form of sessional, lab evals and semester exams

Internships Opportunities

3.5

Many companies come for recruitment of interns inside the campus including Jp Morgan and co, Samsung, Delloit etc with good stipends. Students can also avail themselves of off-campus opportunities. Good projects and a good resume definitely help in getting a good internship

Placement Experience

4

College campus placements have shown great results and have kept on increasing year by year. The average package for CSE packages is around 12 lakhs. With the highest on-campus placement being around 50 lakhs. Lots of companies visit our campus including Amazon, Microsoft, Accenture, samsung, Deloitte, jp morgan etc More the 95 per cent of students got placed in CSE branches. My plans are to get a successful high-earning package after the degree

Fees and Financial Aid

Per year for a cse branch student, the fees of the semester are around 4.5 lakhs , if we include hostel and mess fees it becomes around 6 lakhs per year. Fees hike is there, every year by some per cent. It is quite an expensive college. Scholarships are given based on JEE percentile and on cgpa basis to students. Companies come for internships and everything inside the campus for recruitment

Campus Life

4

Campus life is good and events happen every semester in form of fests, hackathons, competitions etc. Some of the famous ones are Saturnalia, Thapar food festival, izhaar etc The library is the 7th most stunning in the world with a wide range of books and journals. Amenities in classroom halls are great. There is a lot of space for extracurricular activities for cricket, football, basketball, badminton etc. Many societies and clubs are there in the college including tech, non tech, dance, music drama and everything

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostel facilities are good in newly made hostels. Wifi and laundry and other services are provided to us and we can complain in case of any problems. Meals are good on some days and not that great on a few. It includes many varieties example, shahi panner, dal tadka, chane, pav bhaji, chole bathure, saag, pasta etc. Registration process is simple and is done after u have gotten admission to college through an online email and portal process.

Admission

The admission process was online due to covid and the pandemic, we had to fill out the admission registration form which cost around 1200 rupees at that time, Eligibility normally is based on half-jee mains seats and half board result seats. Application forms can be found on the thapar.edu website and on the respective dates. No reservations are available but there is a Punjab reservation quota. I would like to improve the fees of the college and cut unnecessary expenses taken be the college

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.
