the social envirnment is good, the sex ratio is around 1:3, for every girl there are 3 boys
socities / the campus is breathtaking, good safty inside campus
great oppourtunites provided by the college itself

Dislikes

I disliked their classroom culture. It needs to be modernized and made inclusive
more cultural diversity and awarness needed
needs something that unifies everyone, something signature- thats also socially popular

Course Curriculum Overview:

The mechanical engineering course is one of the most prestigeous courses from thapar university, they have quite great faculty and projects going on. The society fateh is livinbg proof for that. There are certain signature branch, they provide a wide varity of learning combinations. the course and curriculum can be less bookish and reducing written work are the improvement i'd suggest

My imperfectly perfect College life reviewed for everyone who needs it

Likes

Sex ratio was good and maintained well, our class was good
Exposure was good, other than academics as well
Campus was beautiful and teachers were supportive

Dislikes

Money i spent on degree due to low package in placement
Other than money factor everything was great
Could have more stars on thr campus for events like other campuses

Student Snaps:

Placement Experience:

Though when I got admission in this college, I saw the placement rates were very nice, around 95%, but maybe it was our session's fault. I passed out in 2024, and in that particular year, the placements were not as expected and as seen in the previous batch, so that was something very much disappointing because I paid so much money on a degree, only everything was good about the college, but in the end, placement matters during my session. Usually, the companies that hired for example, 10 students only hired two students.

Likes

the best part of college is the infrastructure such as hostels and grounds that they have.
mess food is quite good as compared to other colleges .
girls is to boys ratio is also very good . like for our 2027 batch its 1100 boys to 900 girls

Dislikes

worst part is that there are many useless subjects in the curriculum such as psychology etc etc
also one tging that hostel in time is till 8 30 pm only that the worst part of students life
another thing is that there are not enough things in patiala to roam around like you seriously get bored there

Student Snaps:

Placement Experience:

from 6th semester students are leigible for placements. here lots and lots of companies visit. even all these companies dont visit every iit like d.e.shaw,jpmc , morgan stanley etc etc. well d.e.shaw didnt made offer from last 2 years to our campus but its ok there are literally 100 of companies that visit. highest package last year was 54 lakhs as sde in morgan stanley. if you belong to computer branch then placement percentage is almost 90% but for other branches its 50-60%. if i did not get the placement i will be applying for software engineer offcampus.

TIET Review

Likes

The campus life provides good exposure and networks.
The culture pushes you to enroll in different society and sports activities.
Placements are better than other private colleges.

Dislikes

The syllabus they used to isn't up to the mark.
If you want to get placed then different online courses are required, can't depend on the college to give you a practical experience.
The counselling department isn't empathetic or helpful for the students.

Placement Experience:

From 6th semester everyone starts looking for internships and also start applying for the off campus placements and on campus placements begin in 7th semester. Companies like Amazon, Rubrix, Paytm, Delloite etc. visit the campus and depending on the profile provides a certain package.About 98% students get placed in elections and computer related branches.

Exams are too much MSTs, ESTs, sessionals.

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.
