Colleges in Patiala

The cutoff varies subject to every year's JEE Mains difficulty level. You can check for the previous year cutoffs on the website www.thapar.edu.
For an idea, the cutoff may go as high as 180 for Computer Engineering and as low as 80 for Chemical and other less popular branches.

Not considering the price factors, I would suggest for Thapar University, because of the quality of education, decent placements and the overall personality development. Moreover, Thapar University has an agreement with Trinity College of Dublin, Ireland for a student exchange programme after 2nd year, which is one of the finest colleges in the world.

To know the projected cut off for Thapar University, you can check the previous year cutoffs for BE courses on the website www.thapar.edu - Admissions -BE - Cut off for third round of counselling.
The cutoff for the next year admissions is subject to vary with the difficulty level of the JEE Mains exam.
For an idea, the outside Punjab cutoff for CSE can lie in the range 150-190 marks.

College change or university change after the first year is completely dependent on college and university norms, some university allow it and some won't plus you need to have good scores in the first year to apply for the same. For further details, contact the college authorities.

You should go for DAIICT, GANDHINAGAR because the placement opportunities of this institute are excellent. According to last year's placement survey, 3 students got placed with the highest salary of 40 lakhs in AMAZON INDIA from this institute.

It will be available in April or May.
Please remember to visit the university website during the above mentioned period.
