A Walk Down through the Memory Lane

So after Clearing Jee Mains, my first option was to go to Thapar and I was lucky enough to get it. The admission process was quite easy. At first one needs to fill an online application which costs around Rs1500. In the application form, one needs to provide the choice of branches and after the application process is completed if you have cleared the minimum cut-off of the branch, the branch gets allotted to you. There are around 4 more counseling sessions in which your allotted branch may get updated. As far as the quota for admission is concerned, for the students who have completed their education from Punjab their cut-off for branches is much lower. The admission process is quite smooth with the final round of counseling taking place at Thapar.

As far as the course curriculum is concerned for electrical the course has now become slightly outdated. As far as the faculty-student ratio is concerned around 23 to 24 students are assigned to a single faculty member. Most of the faculty members have Ph.D.'s in the respective subjects that they teach. Teaching Method depends upon faculty you get some of them are excellent while some are average. Exams are conducted usually during September and the paper that is set up totally depends upon the faculty member who is setting them up.

Companies such as Jp Morgan and Chase, Samsung, American Express offer internship opportunities with a monthly stipend of around 44 thousand and a chance of turning internships into full time. There is also a provision if a student wants to work under a faculty member on some project and if the project is a unique idea one can also become an entrepreneur and Thapar provides help with that too.

So basically when the student enters 4th Year he/she becomes eligible for placement. Around 200 plus companies visit the campus ranging from Jp morgan to the big four. The highest package goes around 50 lac offered by Microsoft while the average package is around 7 lac. The percentage of students getting placed depends upon the branch but usually, around 75% get placed.

As far as Thapar is concerned the fees are on the higher side and around 10% increment is there in academic as well as Hostel fees. Scholarships are also present there and the top 10% percent of the student from each branch get their academic fees returned. As far as placement is concerned average package of the electrical branches is around 6.8 lac.

Life at Thapar is a beautiful story. Regular Fest Keep on happening and the annual fest is the saturnalia. Thapar library which is Nava Nalanda is world-class. One can find books of each and every genre in it. As far as Classroom is concerned mostly all of them has a projector and some of them are air-conditioned. The newly built classroom are world-class. As far as sports are concerned Thapar has an indoor badminton court, has a basketball court, a volleyball court, a separate football ground, and table tennis, as well as a chessboard, which are present each and every.

The hostels are nice and the memories that you make in them are even more precious. During the first year, one usually gets a non-ac hostel and from the second year onward you have the option between non-ac and ac as well as between single room and sharing. The meals provided by Sodexo are not that good while hostel J has the best Mess. Several restaurants are present on the campus so food would not be an issue. Registration for hostels is done in first come first basics. Several PGs are also present near the campus mostly toward the hostel M gate.
