The internships scenario is not very good as only toppers get placed through the college in companies like UOP, and others have to manage on their own.

B.E. in Computer Engineering - Batch of 2028

4Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Good infrastructure, supportive faculty and decent placements.

Placements: Around 60 to 70 percent of students from my course got placed by the end of the placement season. Placement opportunities are decent, especially for students who are consistent with coding, projects and internships. The highest package is around 12 to 14 LPA, the lowest package is 3LPA and the average package is 5 to 6LPA.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure and facilities on campus are decent and sufficient for a student. The campus has Wi-Fi, well maintained computer labs, smart classrooms and a good well maintained library. Hostel facilities are average with basic amenities and cleanliness is maintained. The mess food is average and repetitive but the canteens provide additional options. Basic medical facilities for both indoor and outdoor activities.

Faculty: The faculty is mostly qualified, experienced and supportive and many teachers are knowledgeable in their subjects. Teaching quality is generally good, with a mix of theory and practical examinations. The curriculum is relevant and covers core subjects like programming, data structures and operating systems which help build a strong foundation, but students need to do additional self learning to be fully industry ready. Semester exams are of moderate difficulty and students who attend classes regularly can pass exams without trouble.

Other: Studying at Thapar is quite expensive. Placement is better than tier 3 colleges so I preferred this college and you get a good amount of exposure in college. I chose this course due to my interest in coding and technology and its strong career scope. The course offers good core subjects and learning opportunities through practical subjects. The campus has active student life with technical events.

B.Tech. in Biotechnology - Batch of 2025

1Placements4Infrastructure2Faculty2Crowd & Campus Life1Value for Money

It is the drastic mistake of my life.

Placements: There are around 75 students, out of which 6 to 7 are placed and 93% are unplaced. Later, some students are able to get placed on their own or through referrals. Students study biotech for 4 years, and the college does not provide even a single core company. We are eligible for very few companies (10 out of 100), mostly in sales or pure technical coding roles. Finance and consulting companies are there, but hardly 1 or 2.

Infrastructure: The college is excellent in terms of hostels and classrooms. But average in terms of labs. As many core experiments are done in groups of 10 people, giving little hands-on experience. Hostel facilities are high class with good food. Classrooms are also good and air-conditioned.

Faculty: I will be blunt and honest with this. Except for 2 or 3 professors, no one is there to help in terms of placement, career, or curriculum. I remember one of my professors telling me to drop the semester as I was short in attendance due to a major surgery. My fault was only requesting him to allow me to sit in the exam and manage my attendance. At the same time, he allowed fest students, but I, with all medical reports, was not allowed, so I had to go to the dean for the same.

Other: If you are getting a CS-related or circuital branch. They have lots of money to spend, or just need a degree with an extravagant college life, you are at the right place. For branches like Biotech, your college life is like a ship destined to nowhere, filled with disappointment, and you will end up wasting four crucial years of your life.

Extremely good infrastructure, nice faculty, but the fees are a bit high.

Placements: About 70 per cent of the students in my college were placed. Top recruiters are Nvidia and BAINS. About 40 per cent of the students got an internship in the 5th semester in companies like BAINS, BCG, etc. Top roles offered in my course are A. E. [Assistant Engineer] in PSPSCL.

Infrastructure: Superb hostels, nice bathrooms, Wi-Fi speed is mid but manageable. Labs have top-quality, up-to-date machines and instruments. Lecture halls are very good and in nice condition. Roads and stadiums are very good. Overall, nice infrastructure as well as 24th NIRF rank.

Faculty: Faculty are very knowledgeable and well-qualified to teach, as expected of a reputable college. Very nice and friendly lab technician. Overall, the course curriculum is very thorough, and the individual collaborated to fit the course in line with the objective of placements.

Other: I want to get a position of A. E. in CEA [Central Electricity Board]. Things I would like to improve would be to lower the feels a bit. Events are very nice, there are a ton of societies that conduct their events very nicely.

Good infrastructure with AC campus but the mess food is average.

Placements: About 85% of students definitely get placed in the main courses of computer engineering and computer science. Some students even get very high starting packages as well. Top roles offered are usually SDE, product managers, data analysts, and web developers.

Infrastructure: Labs and classroom are good. The library has a vast collection of books and reference material with large sitting areas. But the baggage area outside is quite small in comparison. The sports centre is great, and has good quality equipment. The food in hostels is not that great though.

Faculty: Some of the old teachers have great teaching experience but are quite strict. The course curriculum is very much based on exams only. There are ofcourse, courses available to make the students industry-ready. Semester exams are relatively difficult to get an A grade but you can pass the exams with some light study with cramming stuff.

This college is something great that everyone should experience. The infrastructure is top-notch.

Placements: I have chosen Computer Science engineering, the top branch. Highest package was 55 LPA, and top companies come to recruit. As heard from seniors, competition is quite tough, we need to be perfectionists in our fields, with overall development.

Infrastructure: There is Wi-Fi in the whole building. Library is great, very beautifully made, and the labs are well maintained with all equipments. We have all medical facilities, and mess food is all delicious with hygiene maintained. We have all the games from table tennis to swimming. Infrastructure is good, very clean and maintained,

Faculty: Faculty is great. Semesters exams are quite difficult, they give practical knowledge too. I believe working hard and smart is the main task.

Decent faculty, placements, great infrastructure, and enjoyable campus life.

Placements: No students have been placed yet in my course, as the first batch of it is still to pass out. Otherwise, VLSI domain companies come to college often and hire for design engineer roles. People also get roles like testing engineer, basic engineer, etc. Salaries vary for top companies, ranging from 16 to 18LPA.

Infrastructure: Facilities are great here, in fact, one of the best compared to other colleges. Fully air conditioned classrooms, the biggest library in India, and Wi-Fi connectivity are available in every block. Hostels are no less, they provide the best facilities here. The mess food is reasonable, medical is a call away, you can use the gym, etc.

Faculty: Professors are good. They have knowledge and are well qualified, but some of them lack teaching qualities. Course curriculum is absolutely industry relevant, and it will help for sure. Semester exams are decent, you can study 1 to 2 hours per day and get very good marks. The pass percent is 35%.

Between the two, Thapar University usually takes the edge for CSE.
