Thapar University and LPU are both prestigious institutions, but their offerings vary significantly.
Thapar University is generally considered superior due to its higher placement rates and academic environment.

Choosing among the two universities depends on the type of course one wants to pursue, location, exposure, placements and faculty.
Course: Thapar University has an edge over Bennett University in providing engineering courses, however, Bennett University is more recognized for MBA degree programs.
Admission: Both of these universities accept merit in national-level examinations like CUET, JEE Mains, CAT, MAT, NEET, etc. Admission is also granted based on Class XII scores.
Campus: The campus size of Bennett University is 68 acres on the other hand Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology has an area of 250 acres.
Ranking: Thapar University is ranked 22nd by NIRF 2023 among all the universities in India and Bennett University is among the Top 6 Private B-Schools by IIRF Ranking 2023 (North Zone).
Placements: Both universities have tie-ups with industry giants and place their students in big MNCs like Amazon, Microsoft, Deloitte, Wipro, IBM, Infosys, etc.
From the comparison given above, we can say Thapar University is a better choice than Bennett University for courses like B.Tech and M.Tech. One can consider Bennett University as a better option for MBA aspiring students.
Thapar University assigns 19 unreserved seats in each branch to GATE qualifiers. 11 seats are assigned to reserved category students and non GATE candidates. Generally these 11 seats remain empty. They are then filled with general category GATE qualifiers.
As a general category, if you are among the top 19 admits, you’ll receive the GATE stipend. But if you get admission in one of the remaining 11 seats, you won’t be eligible for the stipend.
At present, the average salary for B.Tech Chemical graduates of Thapar University is around 8 LPA. Some recruiters for the department are- Reliance, OCCL, HMEL, JUBILANT Life Sciences, Ambuja Cement, Johnson Matthey, JSW Steel, Deloitte, Agilent Technologies, Honeywell UOP, Zunroof Tech Pvt Ltd, Tech Mahindra, and others.
The department placements are, unfortunately, declining year on year. The B.E. Chemical on campus placement percentage barely touches the 50% mark. And this figure is obtained by taking into account only eligible candidates. A few students receive PPOs in their internships while some are selected off campus in companies like Udaan(Hiveloop Technologies), Vardhman, Jaypee fertilizers, Ind Swift, Zomato, etc.
Thus, the placement figures are not very impressive for BE Chemical at Thapar University.
The university has not released any branch-wise placement statistics on its official website. However, as per the official UG placement data for the batch of 2023, 83% UG students were successfully placed from the campus. The highest CTC stood at Rs. 55.75 LPA, and the average CTC stood at Rs. 11.90 LPA.
The list of top recruiters for CSE department of Thapar University includes JP Morgan, Amazon, American Express, Apple, Deloitte, DE Shaw and Co, Samsung, and many other such brand names.
