Remarks
Overall I have a good remark about my college. It has a good impression in the industries. The only thing which can be touched upon is fees structure which could not be afforded by everyone.
Entrance Preview
I took AIEEE exam in 2010 and scored 6484 All India rank. Since I had given 12th exam from Rajasthan which is tough competitive state I scored 1201 state rank so I did not get a good stream in any of the NITs,therefore I moved to opt for some good private college in which I could get Computer Science as stream.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum was a good one. First year was a mixed one all stream students were having common subjects.
Internships Opportunities
My college offers internship in the college itself as well the people who got internship offer from some company can do there as well. College does not offer any stipend but in general the students doing internship in companies were been offered stipend between 5000-35000 rs.
Placement Experience
Most of the students were placed during my time, probably near 90%Companies like Accenture, Infosys 3.25lacs,TCS 3.25lacs,Sapient 4.25lacs,Winshuttle 5 lacs, Amdocs 4.25lacs ,DE Shaw 10-12lacs,Informatica 10 lacs and many other. The average package was around 4 lacs.
College Events
Thapar University is one of the big and good college of North India. Both cultural and technical fests are been organised. Normally these festivals are around 3-4 days in which events like computer coding rounds,quiz rounds organised by Dereck 'O Brien and singer nights with singers like Kailash Kher,Javed Ali and many others.
Fee Structure And Facilities
The fee structure is usually expensive. One year at my time cost me around 1.50 lacs including tutiion fees,hostel fees and mess charges. It included around 1.08 lacs of hostel plus tution fees,2k for mess monthly. Apart from these the personal expenses would be around 2-4k monthly.
Fees and Financial Aid

Alumni/Alumna
College has come up with an alumni group through which they are organizing some events nearly every quarter in college or outside college. College alumni team is constantly in touch with the alumni to have a good participation.
