Kavitash's Review On Thapar Institute Of Engineering And Technology - [Thapar University], Patiala

Chance of getting good placements even if we have scored lesser marks in JEE Mains. Thapar has the best coding culture for students, a better study atmosphere. High quality professors, mostly PhDs. Much lesser strictness, like you, can ggo anywhere anytime. Also, the college has its rules regarding main gate time limit(7 pm) and hostel timing (10 pm) but that neither matter to students nor to security guards.

Older course curriculum. Subjects and syllabus have not changed in the past 10-15 years. For academics, only attendance and marks matters, not any other thing. Maintaining 60% attendance is a good practice and 8.5+ CG is a good score for sitting in major product based companies for placements.

200+ companies visit every year including large tech giants TCS, Infosys, Microsoft, Amazon, JP Morgan, Capgemini and DeShaw. But the major drawback of the placement cell is that if a good company like Microsoft comes for selection, they select only 1 or 2 students from a batch of 1000 students.

The largest cultural feat of Thapar is Saturnalia. A very good name, too much hype for the fest in students of all the 4 years, always suspense of expecting some great acknowledged singer or celebrity from winter, but whom they called --- Zakir Khan ( Sakht launda). They always ruin the hopes of students who eagerly wait hope year for the biggest fest of College. Strongly disappointed.

Infrastructure is well equipped. Newly built classes for freshers and a very large library where you can study whole night with no time limit. Hostels for fresher are too older built of the 90s, no air conditioning in hostels of 1st year, for the rest of the years, hostels are fully developed, newly built.

Hostels for 1st year are too old that they are built in the 80s or 90s. Much older infrastructure, an older type of yellow coloured walls. 3 or 4 seater rooms are compulsory for 1st year students. Mess food never cooked tastier. We eat only because we have no other option. Hostels for the rest of the years are newly built. They have the quality infrastructure, single seated as well as 2- seated rooms. Mess food is also good.
