Honest Review - Thapar University

I applied for VIT and SRM but didn't take admission due to poor quality of placements and peer group. I am from the General Outside Punjab quota. I had 95.33 in PCM and got admission on the 12th board's basis (due to coronavirus). The admission Process was online due to covid it had 3 counseling sessions with different cutoffs, I was selected in the second one for Computer Engineering, initially, I was allotted Electronics Instrumentation.

I had much interest in Computers that why took the course. The faculty-student ratio is 1:17 I guess. Most of the teachers have Ph.D. from prestigious institutions like IITs, Virginia Tech, etc. Some even have done only masters. After every 4-5 weeks there is an exam/sessional test. The difficulty level is easy to moderate.

Amazon, Microsoft, etc Visit for Internships with stipend up to 1.5L ( by D.E. Shaw ). Projects made by Students enhance their skills and build their resume for future purposes. From the 4th Sem, Students are eligible for Internships.

Students are eligible for placements from the 6th Sem. More than 300 companies visit the placement drive. Highest 43LPA And Average 9LPA. I guess the Percentage of students getting placements is around 80% but the Computing branches have 100% placements. I have no plans right now.

Fees are much much higher compared to other colleges. cost of study goes till 25L approx for a 4-year course including hostels, on-campus life, etc. I didn't get any scholarships. All government-approved scholarships are provided.

We didn't get to see our campus much but the library is world class you won't find any better library in any private college other than this. Students in first year get to experience a different orientation "Frosh Week" which is being served by our seniors of the 2nd and 3rd year. Fully AC classroom and College is fully equipped with equipment for All types of research you want to do. Thapar has facilities and courts for every sports game whether it be indoor like table tennis or outdoor like football, basketball, lawn tennis. There are around more than 50 societies.

Every room has an attached washroom and ACs with a balcony. You get everything from eggs to chole bhature, from north India to Chinese on the menu. North Indian food is superb but they don't make Chinese good. The registration Process was online just a one-click registration. No I didn't rent a room or PG
