The second best part is that we have to launch our own ventures in the campus itself and sell are products so that we have a live idea of how MBA works and that prepare just for a really competitive world outside.
The faculty gives your best to engage students in glass participations and they provide a very comfortable environment and students take a very good hold of it be also have case study sessions which is the best part.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The year wise fees that Lm Thapar school of management takes is 7lpa including mess charges . While the total fees goes around 15 lpa like rounding off. The interviews were conducted in a very nice manner and the ones who had not appeared for any competitive exams were also eligible to prepare for the TMAT exam which is basically the lm Thapar school of managements management exam. In total there are only 200 seats available at the LM Thapar school of management and all of them were shortlisted based on the interviews that were conducted in an offline as well as an online mode. There are also the GDPIrounds that are conducted and it is a very tough competition during the interviews. For the winter internships we have to choose our own internships while for the summer internships some really good companies come over to select the students for the Summer internship program and many of them also get ppo's during the internship which is a very good part. Apart from that the highest package start lmtsm provides the candidates is continuously increase in it is American express that provides the highest package your in the finance background. The other specializations are also very good and the teachers are very professional and the way they teach The course work is very prompt and very professional and apart from that we are also given many workshops based on resume building or entrepreneurship and there are also pitching competitions and other competitions held so that we as students are good enough to complete in the world. As such there are no reservations in the campus but students cuts scholarships based on their overall academic performance and their interviews in the past years.

The cost was pretty decent, we cannot say it was cheap or expensive but given the ROI I would say it was more on the expensive side but that is understandable because the idea is not to get placed but to get a good understanding and working knowledge of the domain as MBAs are not Job Seekers but Job Creators. There is a chance to get a scholarship as well based on a test. Student Loans can also be opted for as well. The fee hike is also there as the fee changes every year so that keeping an eye on the college website is a must.

Thapar University: 6 Answered Questions

How much is the fees of Thapar University for a 4 years BTech programme, including all hostel fees, etc.?

Dhruv Chowdhurystudied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2020)

Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET), now known as Thapar University charges different fees for different courses. The 4-year B.Tech Fees range between INR 1,95,300 and INR 2,38,600 Per Semester depending on the specialization and other factors. The one-year fee is 4.61 Lakhs. The detailed fees structure for the academic year 2021-22 including tuition fees, hostel fees, and other charges is as follows:

For Day Scholars

Annual Tuition Fees: INR 3,20,000/-
Other Charges (One Time): INR 55,000/-

For Hostellers

Annual Tuition Fees: INR 3,20,000/-
Hostel Fees: INR 1,25,000/- to 1,55,000/- per annum (depending on the type of hostel and room)
Other Charges (One Time): INR 55,000/-

It's important to note that the fees might vary depending on the program, branch of engineering, and several other factors.

What is the fee structure for a BTech in Thapar University?

Nitish BhandariB.E. in ENC from Thapar University

Here are the details on the academic fees charged from B.Tech students at Thapar University. You may visit their official website to find details on their hostel charges.

Thapar University charges between Rs. 1,95,300 to Rs. 2,38,600 per semester from its B.Tech students, depending on their respective specializations. This fee includes Rs. 68,000 in the form of development fee and other charges. Besides that, the university charges Rs. 23,000 as a one-time fee during admissions.

Thapar University offers merit-based scholarships to its students, which can be availed during their first year, and may continue in the subsequent years of their degrees.

Is Thapar University worth the fees charged?

Anil SinghStudied at Thapar University

As mentioned in the answers before mine, it depends mainly on how well you utilize these years. Engineering is a tiring course because of the constant pressure from tests, assignments, projects, and finally, the end sem exams.

Electronics is a good branch at Thapar University. The projects, assignments, classroom lectures and lab sessions involved in it are industry oriented and practical in nature. The Chemical Engineering curriculum is also quite relatable as many of the topics are touched upon during +1 and +2.

Moreover, the Chemical department hosts student exchange programs. Through that, the students go for a 5-8 week long training to countries like Russia, Bulgaria and China. Over there, they are engaged in designing research papers, and attending summits/conferences related to the Chemical industry. The student exchange program is an excellent opportunity to grab long term internships with foreign institutes, and to work on great projects.

Overall, Thapar University is worth the high fees. If you get a chance to study at Thapar, make the most of it.

Is the Dera Bassi campus of Thapar University equivalent to Patiala Campus? Is it worth the fees?

Panshul SaxenaStudied B.E. in CSE from Thapar University

In all honesty, the answer to both these questions is No.

Initially, this setup was present in the main campus itself as School of Behavioral Studies. Later on, it was shifted to Dera Bassi as LMTSOM. The Patiala campus offers much more facilities and exposure to its students.

Moreover, the Patiala campus is located in the heart of Patiala city. On the other hand, the Dera Bassi campus is located in the middle of a village, that too in a secluded area. The fee structure is almost similar at both the campuses. It mainly depends on the course. Moreover, fee is not the primary concern in this case. There are other more important factors that you must not overlook.

Personally, I wouldn’t recommend the Dera Bassi campus of Thapar University.

Which is best: CSE IN THAPAR UNIVERSITY, ECE IN PEC, OR CSE IN NIT JALANDHAR?

Rahul SinghStudied at NIT Jalandhar

Plenty of coders on top competitive coding platforms are students of NIT Jalandhar. This points towards a good coding culture at NITJ. Moreover, the fee at NITs is much less than PEC or Thapar University.

Though the placement at PEC is good overall, it receives less offers from the core ECE companies. Thapar has its own list of top companies that prioritize it over other colleges. But I do not know much about their CSE department.

Thus, I would recommend NIT Jalandhar CSE over the other two options. But if you want to choose between PEC ECE and Thapar CSE, I would recommend you make the selection based on your subject interest.

What should I go for ME Communication Engineering at BITS Pilani or VLSI at Thapar Patiala?

Vinima Bhola

Between M.E. Communication Engineering at BITS Pilani and VLSI at Thapar Patiala depends on your career goals, academic interests, and desired campus environment.

Aspect	M.E. Communication Engineering, BITS Pilani	VLSI, Thapar Patiala
Institute Reputation	Institute of Eminence, NAAC A++, strong brand, global alumni	Well-regarded, UGC-recognized, strong legacy
Specialization	Communication Engineering (wireless, networking, systems)	VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration, chip design)
Course Duration	2 years	2 years
Fees (approx.)	9.26 lakhs (total) for Communication Engineering	6–8 lakhs (total, varies by year/scholarship)
Placement	Excellent, high CTC, top recruiters: Amazon, Cisco, etc.	Good, strong in core and tech, but BITS has higher average CTC
Campus & Facilities	Best-in-class, vibrant student life, global exposure	Good, but less internationally oriented
Research Opportunities	Strong, industry collaborations, research labs	Good, but fewer industry tie-ups than BITS
Alumni Network	Extensive, highly influential in tech and academia	Strong in north India, but less global reach
Location	Pilani (Rajasthan)	Patiala (Punjab)

Choose BITS Pilani M.E. Communication Engineering if you value institute reputation, global exposure, and want to work in communication, networking, or systems.

Choose Thapar Patiala VLSI if you are specifically interested in chip design, semiconductor technology, and want a slightly lower fee structure.
