Thapar University

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 👍

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 👍

no, not really.

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, there's no direct/management quota admission like some private colleges.

Admissions are mainly through:

• JEE Main score
• 12th PCM marks (board merit category in some rounds)

If someone is offering you a “direct paid seat,” be careful — that's usually not genuine.

Only legit way is through their official admission process

For Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (recent cycles), B.Tech admissions usually:

• Applications close around May–June (with possible extensions)
• Counselling rounds continue till July–August

Exact dates change every year, so the safest move is to apply early and track rounds.

To confirm seat, students must pay the required fees. Thapar University offers a total of 90 seats for MCA. The fees of MCA at Thapar University is INR 4.63 lakh.

Honestly, with 77 percentile and ~76% boards, getting CSE at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is very unlikely.

CSE/COE usually needs much higher percentile or strong board marks.

But you can still have a shot at:

• Civil / Chemical / Biotechnology
• Maybe some newer or lower-demand branches (depending on cutoffs)

If your goal is CSE, you might want to:

• Look at other private colleges
• Or take a drop and try improving your score

Don't lose hope — just adjust the strategy 👍
