Thapar University Counselling

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 in core mechanical.
