- The infrastructure of the campus is good. Also the mess food is very good.
- Girls to boys ratio is also good. It may be about 40:60(girls:boys)
- There are many fests both tech or non-tech. Also here are many societies in which we can be a part.
Dislikes
- The most problematic thing is in timing. In timing for college is 8:00pm and for hostel it is 8:30pm.
- 75% attendence is also a problem as we don't get time for skill development.
- Also the main auditorium is very small which can hold about 300- 400 students and the capacity of the students according to auditorium is large.
Placement Experience:
Placement percentage of the campus is good enough as compared to other private colleges. For internships all semester students are eligible and for placements it is for sem 7 and sem 8. There are many big companies such as google, black rock, apple and many more mnc's which come and give placement to students. Also it is possible that a student can get PPO during his/her internship. The highest package offered from campus in 2024 was 1.23 cr which was given by rubrik to 2 students. Also the avg. package is 12 lpa and the percentage of placement i am not sure but it may be 70%. After graduation i am thinking of getting placed from the campus only.

Report
Placement Experience:
Companies start visiting in the end of 2nd year for summer internships. Some students get PPO in those internships only while some have to reapply for full-time roles. The 6th and 7th sem is full of internship and placement opportunities where you need to appear for OA, Coding rounds and interview rounds to get into a company. The average package is around 8-9LPA. Almost 90-95% students get placed on campus.
More companies should be brought on campus for better opportunities.

- Sports facilities are decent with enough sports equipments
Dislikes
- There is no transparency in placements and one needs to mail for results.

- Professors are teaching outdated courses
Course Curriculum Overview:
Course curriculum is the worst part of my college
Computer Engineering students need to learn chapters like Manufacturing Processes, Engineering Design i.e Mangonel and I don't know how will it help in industries.
In my entire 4 years, there was no subject for javascript, instead they provide the options between ML/AI, AWS and full stack. But Javascript should be introduced as a general elective.
Exams are conducted intensively
MId sems, end sems, 2 sessionals, 2 lab evaluations and 2 vivas, making the life of the student harder.

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.
