For Mode 2 (board merit) at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, the process is simple:
You apply through the same online admission form, and while filling it you select the 12th PCM merit category. Then:
Upload your 12th marks (PCM)
Register for counselling
Seats are allotted based on your PCM % (JEE used only as tiebreaker)
For CSE (rough idea):
Safe zone: 95–97%+ in PCM
93–95% → borderline (depends on year & competition)
CSE is the most competitive, so higher % gives you better chances 👍

Yes, you can 👍
At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, B.Tech Biotechnology doesn't strictly require JEE — your 12th (PCB/PCM) marks are considered.
With 77% in +2 and NEET background, you may have a chance, especially in later counselling rounds if seats are available.
Just make sure:
- You meet eligibility (Physics + Chemistry + Biology/Maths)
- Apply and stay active in counselling rounds
It's not guaranteed, but definitely worth trying 👍

Yes, you can get admission in Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology 👍
With 80 percentile (JEE) + 90% boards:
- CSE/COE → unlikely
- ECE/ENC → difficult but maybe in later rounds
- Mechanical / Electrical → possible
- Civil / Chemical / Biotech → good chances
Your 90% boards will help in the board merit category, so stay active in counselling rounds.
You should get a decent branch — just keep expectations realistic 👍

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, the “December test” usually refers to end-semester exams or sometimes PhD/MBA entrance tests, depending on the context.

- Questions are mostly from your core subject + basics (aptitude/reasoning)

If you mean semester exams:
- Regular end-term exams after classes
- Based on your syllabus, with internal + external evaluation
Since “December test” can mean different things, tell me your course (PhD/MBA/B.Tech etc.), I'll give exact de

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, first-year students are usually given separate, designated hostels to help them settle in.
For boys, it's typically hostels like H, J, K blocks (can vary each year).
For girls, PG/MB blocks are commonly allotted.
Rooms are mostly double/triple sharing, with basic furniture, Wi-Fi, mess, laundry, and security.
Exact allotment changes every year, so you don't choose manually — it's assigned during admission. But overall, first-year hostels are decent and safe 👍

For Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, the Computer Engineering (International Program) cutoffs in 2019 were a bit lower than regular COE, but still competitive.
Rough idea (2019 trends):
Around 92–95 percentile (approx.) for General category
Could vary depending on round and seat availability
International programs usually had slightly relaxed cutoffs compared to core CSE/COE.
Exact numbers changed each round, but mid-90 percentile range was the safe zone 👍

With 96.8% in RBSE, you've got a strong chance 👍
At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, scholarships are usually based on top board/JEE performers and are limited.
With your score, you can expect:
A merit-based scholarship (tuition fee waiver/partial)
Exact % (like 25%, 50% etc.) depends on your rank among admitted students that year
Top slabs usually go to the highest scorers, so the final amount depends on competition.
Best part — you're definitely in the range to be considered. Just apply early and keep your documents ready 👍

For LM Thapar School of Management, the online GD/PI is pretty straightforward — they're not trying to trick you, just understand how you think.
In GD (if conducted):
They'll see how you:
Express ideas clearly
Listen and build on others' points
Stay relevant (not just speak a lot)
In PI:
Focus is on:
Your basics (academics, work if any)
Why MBA + why Thapar
Clarity of goals
Communication and confidence
Online format also means they notice:
How clearly you speak
Your presence (eye contact, not reading off screen)
Simple tip: be genuine, structured, and calm. You don't need fancy answers — just clarity 👍
