Thapar Institute - at your fingertips

Being from first year, I haven't experienced my course first hand yet. However, attractive elements of my course included: Good placement record of previous students (12 LPA) Multitude of opportunities in future Interest inclined towards creating online business Course does a good job to train the students for industry requirements as it is supposedly dynamic and changing to industry's needs Exams take place 4 times a semester General pattern is 45-50 marks covered through 15+30 or 15+35 mark exam scheme till mid semester. Remainder is covered later.

Tuition fees remains similar throughout the course. Total cost for computer engineering runs around 2.79 lakh per semester including all costs (tuition+hostel+mess+development fees etc.) Scholarships are awarded to people with minimum of aggregate of 8.5+ CGPA in the previous semester which goes upto covering all costs of students excluding hostel and mess fees. I have not yet undertaken any campus employment opportunities

There are mainly two festivals held in a year: Thapar Food Festival and Saturnalia They're both held in the months of October - November The range of books and journals adequately and overly covers the subjects taught in class. It also has plenty of leisure reading books. Classrooms are well equipped with latest technologies with good audio and visual controls. The rooms are temperature regulated. There are almost all sports available on campus: lawn tennis, table tennis, cricket, football, hockey, chess. I'm an avid chess player myself, having represented the college. There are many societies and clubs on campus, which are both technical and non technical. The number is near 100.

There are ACs available according to the fees charged. Meal quality is upto the mark and menu is dynamic according to the needs of the students. Registration is simple and is done at the time of admission online. Affordability is an issue as the hostel fees ranges from 35k to 52k for first year students. The mess fees is 24k which is on the higher side. I have not rented a room or PG.
