A comprehensive review of Thapar institute of science and technology

Likes

Hostel facilities are really good hostels look like a hotel
The campus infrastructure is top class, it's very beautiful and lot of trees
Transportation - E rickshaws are available which takes you anywhere in campus for 10 rs.

Dislikes

The hostel mess, sometimes the food is so baad you cannot finish it.
The 75% rule for attendance compulsion with a hectic time table
When someone fails they need to pay 10 thousand to clear one couse which is a lot.

Student Snaps:

Course Curriculum Overview:

The courses are good, in first year it includes courses of all branches so that a student can change branch according to their interests. The faculty of some courses are very good and it's interesting to study, but some are very bad and you don't wanna attend their class.

Campus placements were awesome when I looked before joining but this year campus placement has dropped to a large extent earlier 300+ companies used to come and this time the count is 70 around. All companies generally take 10-20 students at Max. It's very rare that count is 100+

Thapar University....an experience

Likes

I loved the campus life. It was always alive.
The library is amazing and a heaven for book lovers.
Hostel and mess facilities are some of the best in the country for the price.

Dislikes

The hostel in time is very restrictive. 8:30 PM feels quite early to just sit in hostel.

Placement Experience:

Placements start in the 7th semester. Although the recession has hit the IT industry pretty hard, placements here are quite okay in that sense. The average placement is around 12 lakhs/annum for the CS branches. Many companies visit the campus like Apple, Accenture, IBM, Intel to name a few. The highest local placement is of about 55 lakhs.

A brief of TIET

Likes

Campus life is very good, I will say it's one of the best.
I think placements are good enough, not so disappointing
Faculty of the college are iit and IIM graduated so it's one of the things I liked the most after infrastructure

Dislikes

I think return of investment is not so good
Placements are ok but according to the fees they are slightly on lower side
As you know the location, there is somewhere alcoholic and drug culture

Placement Experience:

For campus placement students are eligible from 2nd year *not sure. As I saw the data there are many companies like around 300-400 companies visited and gives around 1800 offers actually I see this data from offical site. Highest package is around 50 lac and average is around 13 lac but there are many students who got off campus opportunities and got packages of 1cr and more. I think around 80 percent students are placed every year, but on university's site this number is more than 95. I think I will go for masters after my degree.

Thapar University: 2 Answered Questions

What is your review of Thapar University(Patiala)?

Dhruv Chowdhurystudied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2020)

Thapar University has a brand name, however, the ground reality for this university is not very pleasant and it is swiftly losing the qualities that defined it in its glorious past. The rankings of students enrolled in the university are going down each year. The administration is taking serious measures against the same, however, because of these measures the other students are suffering. One example is the strict entry and exit timings.

Academically, your experience in this institution will differ according to your branch. The CSE branch has a cooperative faculty and lenient attendance criteria. This is not the case for other branches. In other branches, some faculty members may hold personal grudges against you while some may fail you for missing the required attendance mark (75%) by as small as 0.1%. The mess is below average and the classrooms are not very impressive. The administration is very slow.

However, there are positive points about Thapar University as well. The alumni from Thapar are placed in some of the best companies in India and abroad. It has some of the best synthetic courts in any engineering college in India. There are many teachers at Thapar University who serve as a source of inspiration to their students. Sports facilities for all the major sports are great. Placements at Thapar University are great and the labs are well updated. Even though Thapar is facing a drug problem, its teachers and administration are very active in trying to solve this issue.

Thus, even though Thapar University has outlived its glorious days, it has some positive points too. It is completely your choice whether or not you wish to take admission into it.

Why are the placements in Thapar University so high despite the bad reviews of many students studying at Thapar?

Kriti GoyalStudied at Thapar University (2019)

Thapar University has better placements than most private colleges and NITs. But the problem is, placements here directly depend on the grades of the students, and only the serious ones who work hard to build their profile bag the best packages.

Now the reviews of students are mixed because not everyone invests the same efforts and bags high packages. The people giving bad reviews are the ones who did not build their resumes well.

The best thing about Thapar University is the level of freedom you get to experience here. However, the increasing intake is slowly deteriorating the student quality so you might want to consider this before joining.
