- infrastructure is really good. auto rickshaws inside campus make travel throughout the campus easy .
- accessibility to railway station and bus stand is moderate, i.e its unsafe to travel before sunrise and after 8 30pm at night
Dislikes
- couples start cuddling anywhere, middle of the road, at the pondside, in any park across campus.
Course Curriculum Overview
COE is the oldest and most renowned course of thapar. they equally emphasise on personality development subjects. the curriculum is hectic, but not impossible to crack. frequency of exams is same as any other institution, ie , MST after 2 months of commencement of semester, and EST after another 1.5 - 2 months
Internships Opportunities
i am not quite sure of that as i am just a UG 1 student but i believe that this is more a personal deed than institutional, be it a TIER 1 or a TIER 3 college. only your skills will help you crack a good internship.
Placement Experience
i dont have much idea about this as of now, but have seen many seniors booking a GD room for themselves in the library where the appeared for online interviews and company tests. also, have heard many seniors being placed in amazon,JSW, accenture, google, like companies with an average package of 12 - 15 LPA.
Fees and Financial Aid
in first sem you pay tuition fee and admission fee according to your course category(A or B). second sem onwards you pay only tuition fee admission fee is around 30000 sem fee is 297500 as of 2025 number of scholarships are provided, including merit based, family income based, organisations and alumni collaborative.
Campus Life
campus life, for people looking for love, and for people in love is really beautiful. the only con for singles is that they get reminded of their singlehood at every corner of thapar as they can sight lovebirds everywhere. other than that, there are many tech and non tech societies. there is always some or the other event going on on society as well as institute level. so good campus life is a big big pro of thapar
Hostel Facilities
hostels are fab you ll feel like you are living in hotels great hostels great housekeeping services, every service is top notch. the only issue is wifi or connection issues. but caretakers , though strict to rules, but really supportive and friendly.
Admission
i got selected to VIT vellore , but as i belong to punjab, and the level of VIT and TIET is the same, i preffered TIET i could even get a lower branch at NITJ (95%ile), but i did not want to compromise on my branch. admission process - you fill up an online form where you fill hostel preferances (like branch and college preferances in JoSAA) from thr options of hostels available for you (J, H, FRF and FRG for boys, I G E and PG for girls). you come here acc to time slot given to you acc to your percentile or boards percentage you are called into the main audi you get alloted a hostel there you fill up some forms, pay the mess fee, hostel fee and course fee in there go to hostel get your room keys and mess card issued then setup your room
Faculty
faculty members are really skilled and educated. but, not everyone is collaborative. some are short tempered, some are cool, some are easily available, some are not. so, its a luck who mentors you. exams are unpredictable. sometimes they are really easy, at other times they are difficult. but the advantage is that the marking scheme is not absolute. so a difficult paper will have an A cut at very low marks, and vice versa.
Night Life
nightlife is strict. no entry through main gate after 8 and hostel curfew at 8 30 for both boys and girls before curfew, the color of night life is almost RED at the central park. despite that, the campus looks beautiful and fun with friends in the night as much as it does in the day.
