What should be the order of preference for branches in Thapar University?
Trust me when I say there is no fixed order of preference for branches. The choice of branches is a very subjective matter and depends solely on your inclinations and future prospects.
Choosing a branch just because it has good opportunities and everyone is running for it does not mean it will be the perfect one for you. I have seen many students take CSE just because of the hype and then regret it later as they realize they have no interest in coding. I will suggest
- Go for core branches like electrical and Civil if you aren’t sure of your interest and just want to land a stable government job.
- Go for easy and light branches like chemistry if you are willing to pursue MBA.
- Go for CSE or ECE, if your only goal is getting high packages in top companies.
So my personal preference order looks like this.
CSE>Software>IT>ECE >Electrical >EIC>Civil>Chemical>Biotechnology
Hope this was helpful!
From where B.Tech is better? Thapar, Patiala or NIT Kurukshetra?
There are several factors that you need to consider while making a choice.
NIT Kurukshetra is definitely much more economical than Thapar. There was a time when Thapar was superior to NIT Kurukshetra. But with time, things have changed a lot for both the colleges.
At NIT Kurukshetra, the teaching quality varies with departments. Most professors are very learned and supportive. The professors of ECE department are quite learned. However, they are also very strict with their students. The placements are good at both. You can check the placement scenario at Thapar and NIT Kurukshetra .
NIT Kurukshetra and Thapar are both good colleges and have their own strengths and weaknesses.
