- The first thing i liked about Thapar University was the friendliness of al the students on the campus, whether it be Seniors or faculty. Everyone is out there to help you whenever you need them.
- The second thing I really like about my college is the safe environment especially for girls. Thapar has strict in-times, where you have to be in the hostel by 8:30 ore else you would get a call at your house. Also no delivery is allowed after 11 pm.
- The third thing I like about the college is that big MNC's like amazon and google, come over to our college to select students for their jobs. Only a few handful make it through all the selection rounds but their life is Set once they get through
Dislikes
- First thing I disliked is the attendance criteria, which is very strict here in Thapar. It feels like school wherein i have to fear not going to classes or else I would get detained and wouldn't be allowed to give my final exams(End semesters)
- Second thing I dislike about this college is that, suppose a student is sick and he/she is unable to give the exam, they have to firstly get a signed document from a Doctor which is reasonable, but then also pay an extra fees or Rs2000.
- And after all that documents and fees payment, the college still only awards you 60% of the total marks that you obtain. Say in a hypothetical situation a student got a 100 on their reset exam, they will only be awarded 60 marks.
Placement Experience:
You get eligible for placements from the start of the 7th semester. The placements from Thapar are amazing. Companies like Google, Amazon and Microsoft come to Thapar. The average package is around 12.1 LPA and the highest is 55.56 LPA. Around 82% of students are placed on campus. I plan to do a masters in my degree after college so I will probably prepare for the U.S

Thapar University: 2 Answered Questions
What is your review of Thapar University(Patiala)?
Dhruv Chowdhurystudied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2020)
Thapar University has a brand name, however, the ground reality for this university is not very pleasant and it is swiftly losing the qualities that defined it in its glorious past. The rankings of students enrolled in the university are going down each year. The administration is taking serious measures against the same, however, because of these measures the other students are suffering. One example is the strict entry and exit timings.
Academically, your experience in this institution will differ according to your branch. The CSE branch has a cooperative faculty and lenient attendance criteria. This is not the case for other branches. In other branches, some faculty members may hold personal grudges against you while some may fail you for missing the required attendance mark (75%) by as small as 0.1%. The mess is below average and the classrooms are not very impressive. The administration is very slow.
However, there are positive points about Thapar University as well. The alumni from Thapar are placed in some of the best companies in India and abroad. It has some of the best synthetic courts in any engineering college in India. There are many teachers at Thapar University who serve as a source of inspiration to their students. Sports facilities for all the major sports are great. Placements at Thapar University are great and the labs are well updated. Even though Thapar is facing a drug problem, its teachers and administration are very active in trying to solve this issue.
Thus, even though Thapar University has outlived its glorious days, it has some positive points too. It is completely your choice whether or not you wish to take admission into it.

Why are the placements in Thapar University so high despite the bad reviews of many students studying at Thapar?
Kriti GoyalStudied at Thapar University (2019)
Thapar University has better placements than most private colleges and NITs. But the problem is, placements here directly depend on the grades of the students, and only the serious ones who work hard to build their profile bag the best packages.
Now the reviews of students are mixed because not everyone invests the same efforts and bags high packages. The people giving bad reviews are the ones who did not build their resumes well.
The best thing about Thapar University is the level of freedom you get to experience here. However, the increasing intake is slowly deteriorating the student quality so you might want to consider this before joining.
