One of the best things that anyone would easily notice in Thapar University is the world class infrastructure. No matter wherever you look whether in the classrooms or the hostels the infrastructure will steal your look for sure.
The second thing I really liked is the hostel mess food. I have asked many students of other campuses about their mess food quality but listening to their reviews I found that the food in our hostels really stands out.

Dislikes

High fees. Undoubtedly the high fees is the biggest cons of this college. 6 lakhs per year is something very few families can afford.
Punjabi Culture. Now this is something not everyone will like. So if you get irritated by the punjabi culture it will irritate you like hell.

Placement Experience:

The placements in Thapar are the best part about it. Majorly for the computer branches the placements are brilliant. Many famous MNCs visit the campus every year for the placements and recruit many students. The students become eligible to sit for internships and placements from second year. JP morgan , Apple , Amazon are some of the companies that visits the campus. 90 percent of the studets are placed. My plans after degree is to persue masters from US.

Thapar University: 2 Answered Questions

What is your review of Thapar University(Patiala)?

Dhruv Chowdhurystudied at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (2020)

Thapar University has a brand name, however, the ground reality for this university is not very pleasant and it is swiftly losing the qualities that defined it in its glorious past. The rankings of students enrolled in the university are going down each year. The administration is taking serious measures against the same, however, because of these measures the other students are suffering. One example is the strict entry and exit timings.

Academically, your experience in this institution will differ according to your branch. The CSE branch has a cooperative faculty and lenient attendance criteria. This is not the case for other branches. In other branches, some faculty members may hold personal grudges against you while some may fail you for missing the required attendance mark (75%) by as small as 0.1%. The mess is below average and the classrooms are not very impressive. The administration is very slow.

However, there are positive points about Thapar University as well. The alumni from Thapar are placed in some of the best companies in India and abroad. It has some of the best synthetic courts in any engineering college in India. There are many teachers at Thapar University who serve as a source of inspiration to their students. Sports facilities for all the major sports are great. Placements at Thapar University are great and the labs are well updated. Even though Thapar is facing a drug problem, its teachers and administration are very active in trying to solve this issue.

Thus, even though Thapar University has outlived its glorious days, it has some positive points too. It is completely your choice whether or not you wish to take admission into it.
