Review by a Thapar 2nd year BE student

The course curriculum is set up as per the growing technologies. The exams are conducted in two phase for a semester as MST and EST with two sessional prior to both of them. Thapar has well equipped labs for almost all the things you need. You won't complain here for shortage of lab equipments and all.

Companies come in thapar for placements as well as for paid and unpaid internships. Competition will be high as the number of students are big in the campus competing for the profile. So you will have to make yourself up to mark with required number of projects and all to get some upper edge with some decent CGPA.

Students are eligible for placements in third and fourth year. And big companies like google, Microsoft, Sap, amazon etc visits the campus. And the average package that get offered here is around 12 Lpa for computer related branches and overall it is 9-10 LPA. Thapar is also good for mechanical engineering as it has good labs and big companies like Hero, LnT etc visits here for the placements.

Tuition fees of Thapar is really high. It has categorised its fees according to the courses like for computer brances like COPC COBS COE it will cost you around 30L for 4 years including hostel and everything and for Electronics related branches it will be around 26-27L. And tuition and hostel fees are increasing year by year. You will get the full chart of fees structure on the website of thapar for all four year with full transparency. There is an SBI bank branch also which will help you to get easy loan and college even support that. If you have decent rank then you will also get good amount of scholarship like TF/2 or full TF. And this scholarship is branch wise so many will get benefit of the scholarship.

There are a lot of tech and cultural societies in the campus and all of them all very active and lively. You will get almost every week mails for some event in the campus. And campus of Thapar is very lively almost after every 3-4 months some big events are organised where people can enjoy. Thapar's Naval Nalanda library is huge with well managed staff members which includes big number of books and journals. Classrooms are fully air conditioned with proper seatings and projectors and on screen writing facilities for teachers.

Thapar has a number of hostels with different facilities in all of them. You will get all type of accomodation like 1s non ac/ac, 2s non Ac/ac 4s and 3s with ac as well as non ac as you like. Some hostels will provide you attached washroom but most of them will have common washrooms. The cleaning facilities are great. You wont have any complains regarding and that and geysers in all washroom with all time operations. The quality of food is really better than other mess. If you want to get a hostel you will have to register after your allocation is confirmed by payment of fees and after that it is their responsibility to allot you a hostel. If you want a pg or room then it will around 2-3 kms from campus

To get admission in thapar you can opt for either Jee Mains or PCM aggregate in 12th boards. It is compulsory to appear in JEE mains if you want to take admission through boards. Tou can get application form from admission thapar website. There is reservation for SC ST army etc for Outside punjab and more reservation for punjab students including OBC, SC, ST etc. The exams happen in every 2-3 months which is MST and Est and it is of moderate to difficult level.

The Faculties of Thapar are highly qualified and have very good industry wise experience. They are up to date by the advancing technologies and can help you in any of your domain. They are very helpful but you have to reach them for your query. Faculty to student ratio is decent like 40-50 students for one teacher and this is the highest I am taking. Professors will welcome your approach and will give you support if it is in their reach.
