The placements in Thapar University are better than almost all the NITs, barring the top 4 or 5 NITs. Like the usual trend, CSE placements are the best in Thapar. For other branches, placements at Thapar and all the other Engineering colleges have suffered immensely in the past few years. This is because the PSUs formed a large chunk of recruiters for core engineering branches like Civil, Mechanical, etc, and they are now recruiting via GATE. This is a setback for Thapar University and other Engineering Colleges. 

For the CSE branch, placements are really good. Even the Mechanical branch has good placements. It is a top branch at Thapar University. EIE comes third in terms of placements. The placements for Electrical and ECE are not so good. But ECE, Electrical, and the other remaining branches get plenty of offers from IT companies that are mass recruiters and offer non-core jobs to all the branches.

Choose Thapar University if money is not a concern for you as it has decent placements. However, if there are financial constraints, even an average NIT is not a bad option.

In general, there are very limited core placement opportunities in ECE because of the limited scope in this field especially in India. ECE placements at Thapar University are no different. As a whole, ECE placements here are decent because mostly consultancies and management visits for recruitment. The only issue is that core jobs are very less.

But on the bright side, students of Thapar University can sit for placements in all branches thereby opening more gates of opportunities for them. This makes up for the lack of core jobs. 

I asked a friend about the placements scenario of ECE and she shared a few pieces of information

• Around 60-65% of students get placed in the ECE department.
• The highest salary package offered is 30 LPA, 
• The lowest salary package is 4 LPA,

• Top Recruiters are Amazon, WDC Gameskraft, McKinsey, JP Morgan, etc. 
• Around 75% of students get internship offers in roles such as SDE, member of technical staff, and quant.

In all, ECE placements at Thapar University are average. 

LM Thapar School of Management has been recording excellent placements over the years for management students.MBA at Thapar University is a great program that has made its mark in the corporate world thereby attracting excellent companies. Students are offered lucrative packages and intriguing profiles as the companies identify their knowledge and skills imparted by the university. 

LMTSM has adopted a lateral hiring process wherein companies are invited to visit the campus and interact with students through pre-placement activities including presentations, guest seminars, live consulting projects, etc. This gives the students the chance to identify their passions and interests better and align them with company goals hence making an informed decision on their career choice.

In all, MBA placements at Thapar University are decent. 

COE placements in Thapar University are decent and numerous opportunities are offered to its students. The reality is, the quality of roles and packages also depends largely on the profiles of the students and their skills. Many reputed firms like Microsoft IDE, Amazon, and Maruti visit the campus every year and offer lucrative packages to skilled students. Work Applications, a Japanese company offered a package of INR 30 LPA in the past. Many such offers are made. 

Many students resort to off-campus placements and end up with high packages. The reason is that the campus placements do not allow some startups because they aren't sure of their credibility. These startups offer huge packages to students in off-campus placemats. 

If you want to get placed as a COE student at Thapar University check the following points
