Course Curriculum Overview :
Mechanical enginneering of Thapar University is very renowned and respected across the world. The faculty to student ratio is, for every 120 students there are 5 lecturers. The faculty that teaches us are very qualified and also from very respected universities from across the India. The teaching method includes teaching through ppts and also providing some animations in between for better understanding. Term exams are also set accordingly and atleast 2 hours daily to every subject can definatly grant you an extraoridinary grade.
Internships Opportunities :
As I mentioned earlier that I am in first year, so I dont know entirely about the internship provided. But according to some seniors, different kinds of internships are provided according to your skills and you can also take paid internships other than internships provided by University. Professors are also working on different kinds of projects.
Placement Experience :
During the 6th semester students become eligible for placement rounds through campus. There are many reputated companies that visit Thapar university for placement and the offers made are all above 10-15 lakhs per annum. The highest package in Mechanical engineering is about 45 lakhs per annum that was given in this year only. Percentage of studnets getting placement is 100%. My plan is to pursue Masters abroad.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
Fees has been hiked recently and I dont think that was an good decision as there are many students who are not able to afford this sum of money. There are different types of scholarships available and there is a department called 'Financial department' wher you can visit for any finanial guidance. Personally I am in 1st year so I dont know much about the placement procedure but as I talk to some seniors they say that the average package companies offer are above 10 lakhs per year and also the internship provided by university gives atleast 12,000 of stipend.

There are a number of PGs available for girls and boys seperatly to stay around the college premises.
Admission :
I took admission through my JEE Mains 2023 score, there also an option of getting admission through your 12th board percentage. Eligibility criteroa for JEE Mains was none but for 12th board percentage criteria you should have atleast 60% in PCM aggregate. Application form for every course can be found on the admissions tab in their website. Reservation is given to theose who are Punjab domicile and some of the other SC/ST candidates from other states every other is considered as an General category student. The admission process is very smooth and right now I dont think any improvment should be done in it.
