With a 71.8% in CBSE, joining Chandigarh University can be a good option as the university provides ease in the admission process through CUCET and both the marks in the entrance test and previous studies decides your admission and scholarship. Many of the courses like Engineering, management, creative studies accepts students in this range of percentage along with a good percentage in the CUCET test. Also, there are Merit based scholarship for eligible candidates in CU which reduce the fees from the considerable amount.

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 👍

Chandigarh University is better for placements, exposure, and career growth. More companies come, and you get more chances in CSE. The environment is active and competitive, which helps you grow.
👉 CGC University has a calmer and more disciplined environment, but placements are not as strong as CU. It's okay if you want less pressure.
👉 The main difference is:
CU = more opportunities + better future scope
CGC = more comfort + less competition
