Yeah, Thapar does have that board merit route with JEE as a tiebreaker.
For CSE at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, it's quite competitive even through boards.
Rough idea:
- You usually need around 95–97%+ in PCM to be safe
- With 93–95%, chances become borderline (depends on year)
- JEE percentile helps only in tie situations
Cutoffs fluctuate every year based on demand, but CSE is always the highest.
So if your board % is very strong, you've got a shot — otherwise it gets tough 👍
