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

Overall I like my college because it has helped me in all possible ways in my overall development. Campus life is excellent along with the studies. I have spent 1 year and few months at Thapar university in which I have experienced all types of emotions, whether it's feeling of happiness, sorrow, loneliness, thrilling or fear.

I had given JEE main 2016 which made me take admission in this college. From my childhood, i have interest in machines that's why i chose mechanical branch in Thapar. There was no interview process followed except in-person counselling.

Mechanical branch is 2nd best branch of Thapar after Computer Science as considered by students. Our college has almost all the machinery required for my course. Labs here are well maintained and curriculum has a great emphasis over the practical knowledge. Also, various research programs are initiated by Ph.D. students under the supervision of faculty.

Yes, college provide internship in summer. There are various intern programs run by college with a average stipend of 50000 pm.

Placement is the cadre due to which Thapar is famous for. Yes, placements are good here with a rate of 90%. Major companies that visit thapar are Microsoft, Sandisk, Arcesium, Delloite, Ford, Futurefirst, Amazon, Flipkart, etc. Average package is around 6 lakhs.

Various fests are organised in thapar by the students with the help of budget provided by the college. Like Saturnalia is a techno-cultural and the biggest fest of thapar organised annually in november with a footfall of 5-6k students. Other fests are also organised like Mudra, Izhaar, Urjaa, Food fest, etc.

Tuition fees in thapar is not at all affordable to middle and lower class families. Total Fees- Tuition fees-87000 Development fees-45000 Other fees-10000 Hostel fees-(25000-45000)

Yes, college provide scholarship to the students in need or students who have done well in academic.

In terms of extracurricular, Thapar is much ahead of other government colleges because of funds. Our college has given me ample opportunities in various fields to explore my talents. It has helped me improve my technical as well as cultural talent. Due to presence of various societies students have many opportunities to explore his/her talents.

Yes I am a hosteler. Hostel rooms are really good but not according to the money they are taking from us. Both types of rooms are present. It's the choice of the student which type they want to live in depending on the fees of the hostel. No, college doesn't have any PG's.

Yes this is one of major drawback of the college that timings of college are 8am to 5am due to which students get tired and can't give their 100 percent. Although labs are very interesting but this hectic schedule makes it hard. During exams also, students faces same problem.

Faculty of thapar is as good as the reputation of thapar. All the faculties are well qualified and experienced. However, age is the factor of concern as almost faculty is overaged. Interaction between students and faculty is also good.
