According to reviews on Shiksha ( Karanbir Singh, B.E. in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2021), the placement of this college was one of the best among the private colleges. The main companies for recruiting were TCS, Tata Motors, Microsoft, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, etc. The roles that were offered were production engineer, design engineer, quality engineer, etc. The campus provided smart classrooms to all the department students with A/C. Mechanical labs were highly advanced, and the CAD labs were also good and tidy. Faculty members of my branch were highly qualified. Overall, Thapar university has got good reviews

The December test at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is usually the end-semester exam for students.
It generally happens after completion of classes and practicals. The exam pattern depends on the subject, but most papers include theory-based and numerical questions. Internal marks, quizzes, labs, and attendance are also added along with end-sem scores.
The schedule, syllabus, and timings are normally shared by the university before exams, so students get enough time to prepare 👍

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology:
- Main campus = better faculty, exposure, peer group
- Stronger placement opportunities
- More companies + better overall environment
Dera Bassi campus is newer, so:
- Fewer opportunities comparatively
- Placements are okay but not at Patiala level
Even in 2020, most top companies and higher packages were centered around the Patiala campus.
So if you have the choice → CSE Patiala > CSE Dera Bassi 👍

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.
