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.

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.
