Course Curriculum Overview

5

My course is Electrical and computer engineering. I took this course because of the dual knowledge I will be getting in both the Computer science field and the electrical field. Today these two fields work together to be the most important work area at present. For example companies like Nvidia require a very specific skill set that lies in the intersection of these two branches. Apart from the intersection too , one can easily make their career in either one of those fields too making this choice perfect for me!

Fees and Financial Aid

Thapar is very costly , with its 4 year BE course amount coming out to be nearly 26-27 lakhs including tution , hostel and mess fees. However the good thing is a lot of people get scholarship here , you just have to get a good CGPA and maintain it throughout

Campus Life

4.5

The campus life is one of the best things about Thapar! The co-curricular events and sports events conducted here along with the very happening hostel life here makes sure life isn't dull even for a single day. The college fest is one of the best fests of the country. Sports tournaments and competitions keep taking place very frequently. The library is hands down one of the best libraries a college can have and has a very vast collection of books, journals, research papers , etc .

Admission

The admission process was using the JEE mains score , thapar conducts it's own counselling rounds. Everyone who has above 60% in boards and given JEE are eligible to sit in the counselling after filling the form which can be found at thapar's own website www.thapar.edu

Faculty

4

There are lecture groups which have around 100-120 students where one professor takes the lecture in a lecture theatre. This group is further divided into sub-groups with 20-24 students who attend tutorial classes and labs together. The faculty are all PHD. degree holders and are very approachable! The professors provide us with their contact information during the start of the session itself so anyone can approach them if a problem or doubt arises.

Because my current college offers better placements, better infrastructure, better location and overall better opportunities and exposure.

Placement Experience:

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.
