Thapar University

here's how people do get the application fee waived or reduced:

• Official admission drives / open days – sometimes Thapar shares fee waivers during school visits, education fairs, or webinars.

• Tie-ups with schools – a few CBSE/ISC schools get a waiver or discount link directly from TIET.

• Counselling rounds / special windows – occasionally during late rounds or category-based admissions.

• Best bet: just mail or call the TIET admissions office and ask politely if any waiver is available for your category or score. People do get lucky.

Honestly? Thapar University (LMTSM) at Dera Bassi for MBA is decent, especially if you want the Thapar brand, good faculty, and a structured campus life.

Placements are average to good (mainly marketing, HR, ops), not IIM-level, but solid for freshers. Worth it if you're aiming for learning + brand value, not just flashy packages.

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.

For BBA at Thapar (School of Management), the total fee is roughly ₹8–9 Lacs for the full programme (can vary a bit by year).
The average package so far is around ₹6–7 LPA, with top roles going higher as the school's placements mature.

It's a growing program, but Thapar's brand + campus exposure definitely helps.

Tuition only (without hostel, mess, etc.):
• Around ₹9.7 L to ₹20.8 L total for the full 4-year B.Tech, depending on your branch.

Full estimated cost with everything included (hostel, mess, development, other charges):
• Most sources show the total 4-year B.Tech cost ranging roughly from ₹2.8 M to ₹3.1 M (₹27.9 L-₹31.3 L). This includes tuition, hostel, mess and other fees.
