The Thapar insider

Likes

Ambience in the campus is quite and simplistic
Faculty here is top notch and always there to help
The phds are willing to help along and even asks you to work in their project for experience.

Dislikes

Attendance criteria, its the same everywhere at 75% but here in thapar they are serious about it
The city crowd around the campus isnt appropriate for the college students
transportation inside campus is poor, hence its difficult to get to class

Placement Experience:

Campus placements are there but more often a cg cut is applied to shortlist students, the CS students have plenty to choose from but other branches like Biotechnology often struggle to find a core company at the campus placement cell. Average package is somewhere around 8 lakhs inr. Most of the students go for off campus placements if they are unable to score in the campus placements cell.

Life at thapar university

Likes

Social life at thapar is very fun. Infrastructure and availability of equipments is high.
Some faculties are very interactive. They provide chances to work on projects and research papers
Course curriculum is good for personal development as there are courses that are mainly focussed on social skills

Dislikes

Attendance criteria can be very stressful as the main focus is on cgpa
There are a large no of students in thapar like around 1000 in a single branch which kind of is very unfair as it leads to a huge competition
Too much drugs and alcoholic habits. Really impacts a child’s mental health

Placement Experience:

After 6th semester student gets eligible to sit for placement tests. A lot of companies visit thapar but lately the placement tests are getting limited to computer related branches with high cgpa demands. If campus placement is not provided i will apply for off campus placements but i will do sit for on campus placement. Due to recession the placements have dropped to 50% but was higher earlier

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.
