Life at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology - a brief look

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!

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

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 .

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

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.
