The faculty student ration is quite great, idk exactly but its more than sufficient. Most of the faculty are friendly and approchable, the TAs are quite helpful, I personally liked Ashish Purohit sir and Rajnish Mallick, both of them are very proffesional,well spoken and supportive. Most of the teachers are non discriminating, there is a certain gap in freedom and the approch between girls and boys hostels, boys hostel are more linient and have friendly and caring approch. The exams there are moderately difficult

1. Faculty to student ratio for M.Sc. Physics course was 1 teacher for 5 students. Faculty was easily approachable. Anyone can connect with them anytime. They were ready to help. 2. I liked most Dr. Dheeraj Kumar, who was my mentor for research project as well. His understanding on the subject is amazing. He is a great teacher and mentor as well. I learned alot from him. 3. All faculty members were more like friends. I did not get into any scenario which leads to dislike of the faculty member. 4.

Faculty:

The faculty- student ratio at Thapar is generally good, with most classes having around 60-70 students, ensuring that faculty can give individual attention when needed. Many professors are highly qualified, with PhDs from reputed institutions, and they maintain a professional yet approachable attitude. The best faculty members are those who focus on practical learning and link concepts to real life applications, which makes understanding easier. Some faculty members are strict with attendance and internal marks, which sometimes feel rigid. The marking scheme is fair overall but can vary depending on the professor- some are generous with internal marks, while others are quite strict. The course curriculum is regularly updated yo match industry requirements, with a good balance of theory and practical work. Most students are ble to clear exams with consistent study, through maintaining a high CGPA(above 8.5) requires extra efforts dur to competitive grading.

Faculty:

The faculties are often approachable and ratio is about 1:80 atleast. The relationship between students and faculties for most students isn't significant, most students attend lectures for attendance. There was Professor named Dr. Ankush Pathnia whom I liked. I liked him because he was between one of the few teachers who cared to explain, solve and ask doubts to students. Most teachers used make a ppt and we had to do the rest by ourselves. Exams are moderatly difficult. Mostly people do good by studing in between exams.

Thapar University: 4 Answered Questions

Who are some of the best faculty in Thapar University?

Sanovar Lohia
Anil SinghStudied at Thapar University

I am an alumnus of Thapar University. Back when I was a student, Dr. V.P. Aggarwal was one of the best teachers at Thapar.

Back in 2014, sir used to teach us KOM (Kinematics of Machines - UME 302). I would usually arrive late for all my lectures, and sit for them with almost no interest. But one of sir’s classes truly inspired me and changed my perspective on life. 

Our ESTs were nearing, and so those days very few students attended classes. Sir was teaching us a topic and at the end, he asked us for our doubts. All of us were sitting in a disinterested manner, almost as if forced to attend the lectures. This was when sir told us that he had come back to the university at 4 in the morning, straight from Jabalpur. 

He had come back specifically for our class. When we asked him why he took so much pain for a single class, he replied that it was duty to teach his students. He said he would have felt restless with the thought that maybe some student had a query that day which couldn’t be solved because of his absence.

He told us that for him duty was above everything else. He wanted all his students to work hard and stay motivated. That day changed my perspective on life, and made me realize the importance of hardwork.

This is why, for me, sir is one of the best teachers whom I studied under at Thapar University.
