At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, both are good — just different paths.

COE/CE (Computer Engineering):

  • More coding-focused
  • Better placement stats overall
  • Easier path into software roles

ECE (Electronics & Communication):

  • Mix of electronics + coding
  • Slightly tougher academically
  • Good options in both core + IT (many still go into software)

Simple take:
If you're sure about coding/tech jobs → CE is the safer bet
If you want flexibility or interest in electronics → ECE is solid

Most ECE students still end up in IT roles, but CE gives you a more direct advantage.

Starting at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology? You'll be fine — just don't overcomplicate it.
First few months, focus on settling in. Make friends in your hostel and class — that circle matters a lot more than people think.
Don't ignore academics from day one. It is easy to get carried away early but CGPA matters later for placements and internships.
Explore clubs and societies, but don't join everything. Pick 1-2 you actually enjoy and stay consistent.
Start building a skill early (coding, core subject, whatever your branch needs). Even 30–40 mins daily go a long way.
And honestly don't compare too much. Everyone looks s

There's no fixed “marks” cutoff for Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology — it works on percentile/rank, and it changes every year.

Rough idea based on trends:

  • CSE / COE → ~95–97+ percentile
  • ENC / ECE → ~90–95 percentile
  • Mechanical / Electrical → ~85–92 percentile
  • Civil / Chemical / Biotech → ~70–85 percentile

Marks vary each paper, so focus on percentile. Also, Thapar has a board marks quota, so strong 12th % can help.

You don't need a perfect score — mid 80s–90s percentile can still get you in.

With a JEE Mains Paper 2 score of 109 and 72% in 12th, securing a B.Arch seat at LPU looks feasible. LPU accepts JEE Paper 2 scores in place of NATA, and your 12th marks exceed the minimum 50% aggregate (with Maths) requirement for eligibility. Apply soon through their portal before the July 31, 2026 deadline to confirm availability based on seats. Strong placements in architecture add value without overlooking other solid options elsewhere.

A comparison of the cost of pursuing a MBA at Lovely Professional University (LPU) and Guru Kashi University (GKU) Bathinda, the fee structure of both institutions is different, although LPU has good value added learning in terms of scholarship and the general academic advantages. At LPU, an MBA fee would normally be between INR 5.8 Lacs and INR 11 Lacs to complete the course in different specializations. Nevertheless, LPU allows high scholarships according to academic excellence, entrance examination, etc., and the total cost may be decreased considerably. 

By contrast, GKU Bathinda MBA fee is lower on paper and normally costs bet

Yes, with a rank of 14146 in LPUNEST, you still have a good chance of getting admission in Computer Science and Engineering at Lovely Professional University (LPU). Admission in LPU is not based only on rank but also on your 12th marks and overall eligibility criteria. If you have around 50% or more in your qualifying exams, getting CSE is quite easy. With slightly lower marks, you may still get admission in later rounds or in CSE with specialization. Moreover, your rank may affect the scholarship amount you receive. Overall, admission is very much possible but the final allotment depends on seat availability and your academic performa

Yes, students at Lovely Professional University (LPU) generally get sufficient gym time as the campus has well-equipped fitness centers, and not all students use them at the same time, so overcrowding is manageable. The gyms are paid, which further controls the crowd. Teachers are decent and focus mainly on completing the curriculum and helping students score well, though the experience can vary depending on the faculty. Campus life at LPU is vibrant, with malls, food courts, events, and a lot of extracurricular activities, making it enjoyable and engaging. Students just need to balance fun and studies properly. Also, most academ
