THAPAR REVIEW

Electronics and Computer engineering course is really great choice for students who are confused between ECE and CSE, as you get the taste of both of these subjects in one course,though electronics cover the 70 percent of syllabus, rest are the main topics of CSE like Programming,DBMS, OS, OOPS etc. Mostly PPT are provided as study materials teachers also provide notes and advise books for interested students.

Some companies like Goldman Sachs, American Express, Salesforce, JP Morgan and Chase come for internships in 5th semester but very less students are selected and many are not even allowed to sit for the OA's as CG cuts are really high.Mostly companies come for software and non tech roles .Also very less core companies visit campus for placements and internships.

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.

Year wise fees paid is 6 Lakhs,Tution fees per semester for CSE branches is 257000,Development fees is around 20000 ,other fee 10,000,the tution fee for other branches is like ECE is around 200000 .Scholarships are given on merit basis ,financial aid is provided to financailly unstable students.

This is the best part of our college , 3 fests happen in a year , The biggest one is Saturnalia which is our technocultural fest ,students can be part of the organising teams including several departments like :Marketing, tech, hospitality and logistics . Artist nights and competetions lined up ,it takes place in the odd semseter around November. Urja is sports fest ,teams from several colleges compete in different sports ,artist nights and stalls are set up in evenings. Helix is our tech fest in which several competetions and hackathons are organised .

Hostels are well maintained with Gym facility available . There are different room options available for 1 st year J and H hostels are available . Rooms have study table, almirah , and bed with matrices .Meals are managed by sodexo mostly the food is decent , though you have ample food options available around campus.Hostels also have TT tables and carrom board.Hostel night and diwali night are also planned every semester.

I did not get a a government college or BITS because of my poor score in JEE and BITSAT so the only good private college in North India is Thapar with decent placement statistics,with great alumni network .Admission mostly takes place through online portal and formalities for hostel and mess are completed as you visit campus. Admissions also take place thorugh December exam .

Faculty to student ratio is decent (1:100),faculty is really supportive if you want to learn and grow they provide guidence and may take you up in reserach and their projects. Dr Anil Singh taught me Digital System Design, really a great mentor.Exam are taken twice: Mid semester and end semester exams .Quizzes and lab evaluations also take place,you can score well if you study 1 week before.

Life on campus is great ,well maintained Gyms are present in hostel only .Kravings is the place where several outlets like Moti Mahal ,Domino's are present .There is a sports complex with different kinds of equipments that can be issued with your id card, running track is also there .In time is 8 PM for campus and hostel in time is 8:30 PM.
