- Over the years the placement records other than the CSE branch have declined.

How do I score more than a 9 CGPA in Thapar University?
One of my friends was able to secure a 9 CGPA at Thapar University. He claimed that no extra hard work was required and all he had to do was determine the right strategy. Firstly he divided the semester into two parts. The major and minor courses. Assuming that the semester had 6 courses in all,
- Major courses: 3 courses- 1 lab+3 lectures 1 tutorial per week.
- Minor courses 3 courses: 3 lectures and one tutorial
For Midsemetser, he attended 90-95 percent classes, 100% labs, and maximum tutorials. Once the result has been declared he chose an easy and a difficult course depending on the results. Then for the End Semesters, he worked in other subjects diligently. His goal was to score 2 A' in Course Major and 2 A's in Course Minors and Bs in the rest of the courses.
He repeated the same strategy and was able to score a 9 CGPA!
Which is better - CSE at Thapar or UIET?
Without any doubt, CSE at Thapar University is a fairly better option than CSE at UIET. The academic culture as well as the availability of opportunities is way more at Thapar and you won’t regret choosing it over UIET.
- Thapar University has a top-notch infrastructure that improves the learning experience as a whole.
- The majority of the professors are experienced and learned well-known among the Indian masses.
- The students are encouraged to do research and many students write their own research papers too.
- Thapar has a better and more number of recruiters than UIET. You will be surprised to know that last year, Thapar had 395 recruiters while UIET only had 15.
- The salary packages offered even by the same companies are better in Thapar than in UIET.
- Thapar has excellent CSE placements above 90%.
The only drawback of Thapar University is its increasing fees. So if you have any financial constraints you need to consider this.
Should I choose civil engineering or electrical engineering at Thapar University? I have to choose one and enter in university counselling in 2-3 days.
A number of central government PSUs and other government firms hire Electrical Engineers. Some of these government institutions include- ISRO, DRDL, BHEL, PGCL etc. Therefore, for government jobs both Civil and Electrical Engineering from Thapar University are a good option.
However, for private sector jobs, Electrical Engineering from Thapar University is a better option. Even for research opportunities, Electrical is a better option than Civil Engineering. In areas like wireless power transmission, solar efficiency improvement, etc. a breakthrough will fetch you a lot of patents.
Go for Civil if you are genuinely interested in this branch. You can also go for research in this field. But for Civil, the importance of R&D in the Indian market is quite low. Internships will be difficult for you to get in this branch and switching to software is not easy. The Civil coursework will not challenge you and you might develop laziness. However, as a Civil Engineer, if you have a few contacts and can establish your own firm, you will make good money.
As far as streams are concerned, Electrical is a better option than Civil. However, I would suggest you talk to Thapar University alums to figure out which branch gets more placement offers at Thapar. You should find out which branch has a better faculty and placement offers before making a choice.
