INSIDE THAPAR

The course curriculum of the Computer Science Department is regularly updated and quite up to date and relevant according to the current trends. Exams are frequent and vary in difficulty. The course material provided is quite helpful,

The placement scenario is good, has been affected due to the recession, but is still quite good. Many companies visit the college, and the average placement of the Computer Science programme was about 12-15 lakhs per annum.

I will be paying around 6 lakh rupees per year. There are scholarships based on Merit basis and also based on Merit cum needs basis, i.e, based on the annual family income of the student. The scholarship is hard to obtain and requires a high CGPA.

The campus life is good, with many fests like Saturnalia and Oorja happening and many other events making the campus life fun. There are a lot of clubs which you can join, and many sport facilities and extracurricular activities also occur regulary.

The hostel facility is quite good, with a good quality table and AC room. The mess facility is is also satisfactory. You have options of Single. 2 sharing and 4 sharing options for your rooms. The rooms are well maintained.

I applied to different government colleges but could not get the Computer Science programme, so did not choose them. I also applied to BITS but did not choose it because I was getting a five year dual degree programme.

Most faculties in the Computer Science and Engineering Department are quite approacheble and helpful. They are passionate proggramers who love to teach students. But many professors are quite arrogant and unapproachable.

The night life for 1st year students is limited to the hostel with intime of 8:30 PM, but it has night canteen and another canteen which provide snacks and food at night. There are a lot of hangout spots inside the campus like Nirvana.
