Thapar University, Biotechnology

4.2Helpful

Likes

I really liked the atmosphere of this college. It has a mixed group of people from all over the country which exposed you to a lot of different cultures as well.
The range of extra curricular activities and competitions provided here really gives various ideas and opportunities to students.

Dislikes

75% attendance criteria is not budged even in medical cases often.
Extreme climatic conditions often hinder our studies. As both the weathers are always at their extreme here.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for placements in their last semester of college. In my course the average package is about 14 lacs, and the highest is 40 lacs. Companies that visit are Wipro, Aakash, HMEL etc.

4.4Helpful

Likes

Friendly teachers and staff who help the students with every problem.
Good atmosphere and vibe of the college making it a fun and energetic experience to go to college daily.

Dislikes

The extreme climatic conditions can sometimes make it irritating for the students to live without AC
The Library facility should be opened overnight.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is quite good but if you talk about the comprehensiveness of the course curriculum and it's relevance with respect to the course, I found some of the subjects in first year were not so relatable but from second year onwards the major focus is on core subjects only.

3.7Helpful

Likes

Campus life is great. You get to interact with many people during ur whole college life
Infrastructure is great. I love food places in the campus

Dislikes

Campus placements and internships in some of the branches

Placement Experience:

Computer engineering students enjoy excellent placement opportunities, whereas for other branch students, there are fewer companies specifically in the core biotechnology sector. However, non-tech companies such as Deloitte, JP Morgan, Amazon, etc., also participate in the placement drives, providing opportunities for students from various branches to participate.

Likes

Campus buildings , lush green campus , gardens , Nirvana (A place in our college full of greenery looks like a tourist place)
Clubs , societies, events, fests which are really like everyday literally. We get to learn and experience new things.

Dislikes

Not affordable , not worth it according to the fees
No water dispensers , there is one I know. But it should be made available. We have to buy it

Course Curriculum Overview:

It's good to be honest. The study is really good. Course Curriculum includes chapters relevant in life. I have felt it myself . To be very honest I did not choose this course myself, I just got it. And I didn't see the syllabus before , I just wanted to get in the college somehow. About how the course impacts the real life lemme give you an example : in my first sem there was a a subject called Professional Communication , it basically included making ppts and presenting them as a group, then group discussions, then report writing, research, all of them were group projects. I had never done these in school. I was always scared to do this, be in front of everyone. But because it was an important part of the curriculum, I had to do it.I realised that I do have a lot of potential. Well. Not to brag about myself but mine was best. So it helped me a lot in the confidence thing which was so low when I came to college. Our teacher was also very supportive, he was like "Just say anything".

There needs to be some kind of rule for attendance
More enthusiatic teachers are needed, some of them just don't want to teach

Placement Experience:

I understand that there is a placement cell available here, but recently, the placements have not been very good. The students are suffering, and everyone is worried due to the impact of AI in the tech industry. The overall average package that I observed was around 800000.

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.
