Course Curriculum Overview :
The courses taught at the Thapar University are designed in a very unique way to make it easy for students to grasp the basics and use them for future advanced applications. The pdfs provided with other study material acts as wonderful notes which lessens the hassle of students for preparing notes. There could be an improvement in the attendance criteria as the students tend to ignore classes because of the ready made notes and pdfs provided. The exams and classes are designed keeping the comfort of the students which makes us ahead of several colleges in the country.

There are a lot of consultancy, developer and marketing companies visit for interships roles offering stipend range of 10k-80k per month. Eg JP morgan offers 60k stipend to 6 months interns in Mumbai for Accounting and Finance roles.
Placement Experience :
Placement of Thapar is very good because when after covid many NITs struggle to offer placement to every student Thapar provided some excellent package where many of my colleagues were offered more than 20lpa packages with some of them exceeding 30lpa from companies like Linkedin. JP morgan offered 15lpa to 25 students while blackrock offered 11lpa to 15 students. My plans are to pursue MBA for which I am preparing as i have planned to do it from Germany. Aug Weinderstein.

There is rule for increament of tution fees by 10% which is now almost 20lacs for 4 years with CSE branch having the maximum fees. The complete coat of my education is 18lacs including hostel as my branch was ECE. There are some scholarships provided to students who are top scorers like there is a friend of mine securing scholarships on merit basis which requires CGPA atleast greater than 9. Financial aids are also provides to students like in case of covid struck family who has lose of earning member. One can join clubs as there are dozens of them focusing on different perspective.

Along with that there is a freshers fest called FROSH WEEK where freshers are engaged in carious fun activities like treasure hunt, mini competitions etc. Apart from that every club holds some mini fest throughtout the year like Urja, Virsa, and there are tons of sports fests too.

Many of these clubs and activities helps to foster bonds between the students through various activities.
Hostel Facilities :
Hostels of Thapar are very nice and clean with free laundry provided twice a week. The meals offered are also very good in quality are compared to other colleges i have known through people. The menu is decided by hostel committee and changes every after one month. The hostel are very big and have some indoor games like Table Tennis and badminton along with Basketball courts. Every hostel is equipped with gym. The hostel is allocated on CGPA basis but one can swap after allocation if there is someone from the other hostel who too wants to swap. Being in the heart of Patiala city one can find various PGs and rooms for various proce range and accomodation.
Admission :
The cutoff is generally above 92 percentile and if one is aiming for top branches like CSE, ECE, ENC they must score atleast 95 percentile or more and for CS branches 97 percentile is bare minimum. There is percentile decrement for people belonging to Punjab as their birthplace which puts them way ahead of students who worked hard to achieve the the cutoff. There is some reserved seats for employee children and sports quota that total accounts for 10-15 seats only. The only area of improvement is removing the Punjab quota which lessens the cutoff for the admission.

The faculty members of the college are very qualified and experienced having complete knowledge and strong foundations for their respective field. There are professors with decades of experience in the subjects so it is always a pleasure and honor to learn through them.
