Thapar honest Review by First year

Likes

Clubs and societies are quite beneficial.
Thapar has great infrastructure, and sports facilities.
Cos area has quite good food outlets , best one is pizza nation.

Dislikes

Thapar food fest, it was waste of money and artist who had to come in fest , rejected last minute.
The selection process to tech societies is quite handful, there are too many rounds and even after interview process , feedback is not given.
Checking of papers is very casual, generally we need to see papers if all questions are marked

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because I believe it had a lot of benefits in future. And the job opportunities are more with the computer. In the first semester, we were given 5 subjects. Which includes fit applied physics ,mathematics, manufacturing processes ,engineering drawing and. Professional communication.

I like faculty very much as all the teachers are highly educated and guide alot to achieve our dreams
I like the infrastructure, my college spent alot on infrastructure,huge buildings library,lakes everything is in our college

Dislikes

Well there is nothing to dislike but I really don't like the time table and 8 am lectures
I don't like the campus timings it's 8:00 it's too early
I also don't like the hostel timings as it's 8;30 which is way more early for a grown up

Placement Experience:

The placement of my college is very nice .it is known for its placement. Variety of companies like Deloitte, Google , Microsoft, jp Morgan visit thapar every year.the highest package is 55 lacs and avg is around 11-12 for computer branches. The student need to maintain atleast 8+ cgpa and internship in third year . My plans after the degree is to take job and live peacefully

Genuine and honest

Likes

Campus infrastructure is pretty nice. Skywalk and nirvana being my favourite.
Management is pretty well done. It’s easy to get things done.
Food and hostels are very nice and affordable.

Dislikes

Fees is pretty high. Scholarship programs are limited.
Hostel in time is very rigid. It should be extended.
Faculties are a bit non serious. They should be looked upon.

Placement Experience:

Placements were decent until last year. This year onwards, because of recession, fewer companies have been visiting. It's a bit saddening to see a downfall in the placement percentage. Hopefully the situation gets better.

They have restricted so many areas and Hostel rooms which are made earlier could be renovated because all the walls have Have been become old and paint is falling off

Review of Thapar Institute

Likes

The classes are very interactive and the teachers responsive.
The campus is huge and has many shops inside the campus itself so decreases the need to travel outside the campus.
The labs are well equipped and can be used for personal projects also.

Dislikes

Due to the age of the institute, some amenities are quite old and still not replaced/repaired.
There are issues with wifi connections in hostels although it is being mended currently.

Placement Experience:

I have not yet availed any of these facilities but the college does offer placements as well as internships. Companies like NXP, Bajaj, GoldmanSachs, Microsoft, Texas Instruments, JP Morgan, etc do regularly visit each year.

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.
