Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology is a well-known private engineering university, and B.Tech admissions are mainly based on JEE Main scores through online counselling.

The fee structure is on the higher side, roughly ₹3–4 Lacs per year, excluding hostel and mess charges.
In terms of placements, Thapar has a decent record, with good companies visiting the campus and average packages in the mid range, especially strong for top branches.

Honestly, Mechanical at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is a solid but practical choice not a “dream” one.
You will get:
- Good campus, labs, exposure
- Decent peer group and opportunities
- Overall stable placements
But real talk:
- Core mechanical jobs are limited and not very high-paying
- Many students shift to IT/analytics later
- Your growth will depend a lot on your own skills, internships, projects
Simple take-
If your other options are similar or lower tier → it's worth it
If you're getting top NITs/IIITs or CS branches elsewhere → prefer thoseGo for it only if you're okay putting in extra effort or genuinely interested

Yeah, you've got a good chance 👍
With 92.55 percentile, TIET Patiala is definitely possible, especially for branches like ECE, Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical.
For CSE/COE, it might be a bit tight in the main rounds, but spot rounds / later counselling can work out.
So don't rule it out—apply and stay in till the end.

So the students only with marks more than 90% usually get admission in the college. You have to apply on centralized portal called punjab admission portal to get admission into the college, if you're shortlisted you will be contacted by college to do other formalities.
So, this is the main percentage for admission.Cross check with your percentage.
