According to some of my friends studying there, the institute has managed to show good placement records every year. Students often receive Pre-placement offers by top companies in their 6th semester after they had training or internship with them.

Placement highlights:

• A total of 264 recruiting companies visited the campus for placements.
• On average, about 90% of B.Tech students were placed.
• The highest CTC offered in B.Tech at Thapar was INR 25 LPA and the average CTC was between INR 6-8 LPA.
• The top recruiting firms for Electrical engineering are Maruti, Deloitte, Exl Analytics, Tata Motors, Mu Sigma, Honda, Schneider Electric, Asian paints, Reliance, Wipro, Sapient, etc.
• The internship opportunities are also good and these turn into full-time offers sometimes. 
• One girl got an internship at Reliance which turned into a full-time job at CTC 16 LPA.
• The top mass recruiters were Infosys and TCS. They offer a salary package of 3-3.5 LPA.

The students of B.Tech score the highest number of placements every year at Thapar University. The institute has even managed to get more than 90% of students placed in the last 6 years. You should make sure to contact a currently enrolled student and know the scenarios.

Overall, UIT Burdwan University is not that great. However, if you are only considering the electrical engineering department of the institute, then it is quite good.

The faculties are extremely supportive and helpful towards students. They are well-experienced. But don’t expect to score easily. You will have to study hard to score good marks in examinations. 

The institute offers good lab amenities as well. However, unlike many other universities, UIT Burdwan University does not quite provide the best technical or practical knowledge. It is up to you to make the most of your time at the institute. 

I have a friend from Thapar University and he was able to provide some information regarding this. In the B.E. Electrical course, you can secure internship opportunities twice, wherein the first one will be in the 8th semester, and the other one is a 6 week-long training period.

• Students who acquire placements with FTE+intersip or only internship have to continue doing it for as long as the contract is. 
• Students who don’t secure any placement must work on their own to obtain internships. It’s better to choose an internship program at any core company. Elsewise, you will obtain lower grades. 

For the 6-week training, you will need to search for internship opportunities, especially on your own in numerous parts of the industry. The firms can range anywhere from a reactor plant, a thermal plant, or a hydroelectric plant. It depends upon your academic exposure and credentials. The work should be related to the branch and the topics you are familiar with. Make sure to create the file with accurate and standard formatting, to avoid mark deduction. 

Having friends from Thapar University and reading some online reviews about it, I gathered some facts about the college. Let me share what I learned about their placements and the salary packages offered. This information might help you answer your question.

• The highest package offered for electrical engineering was 8 lakhs from the Vedanta Group. 
• But few students were selected for an internship in Procter and Gamble which offered 16 lakhs depending on the performance in the internship.

Here are the recent placement highlights of TU.

Many of my friends are at Thapar University pursuing Electrical Engineering and I never heard any negative feedback about the program from them.

So, EE is not the worst at Thapar. However, there are possibilities that you might not find it as per your expectation but that doesn’t mean that the program is bad.
