Thapar University

If you did your 12th from Punjab, you're usually eligible for the Punjab quota even if you don't have a separate domicile certificate.I'd just select “No” for the domicile certificate if you don't have one and continue filling the form. In most cases, your Punjab school documents are enough.

Yes, TIET Patiala admissions 2026 are open now. The university conducts its admission on the basis of both merit and entrance exam scores. For admissions to BTech course JEE Mains & 10+2 PCM exam are considered.

No, you don't have to pay the full fee again for the 2nd cutoff at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology.

Here's how it works:

• You pay once when you accept a seat in the first round
• In later rounds (like 2nd cutoff), if you get upgraded to a better branch, your seat is automatically adjusted
• You may just need to pay a difference (if any) — not the full amount again

So no double payment — just adjustments 👍

For Mode 2 (board merit) at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, the process is simple:

You apply through the same online admission form, and while filling it you select the 12th PCM merit category. Then:

• Upload your 12th marks (PCM)

• Register for counselling

• Seats are allotted based on your PCM % (JEE used only as tiebreaker)

For CSE (rough idea):

• Safe zone: 95–97%+ in PCM

• 93–95% → borderline (depends on year & competition)

CSE is the most competitive, so higher % gives you better chances 👍

Yes, you can 👍

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, B.Tech Biotechnology doesn't strictly require JEE — your 12th (PCB/PCM) marks are considered.

With 77% in +2 and NEET background, you may have a chance, especially in later counselling rounds if seats are available.

Just make sure:

• You meet eligibility (Physics + Chemistry + Biology/Maths)
• Apply and stay active in counselling rounds

It's not guaranteed, but definitely worth trying 👍

For Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, the Ph.D. seats aren't released as one fixed total like B.Tech.

Seats vary department-wise and intake-wise (2019–20 also) based on:

• Available research supervisors

• Ongoing projects/funding

• Specific specialisations

So instead of a single “vacant seats” number, they publish department-wise availability in the admission brochure/notification for each cycle.

In short — there wasn't one overall vacancy figure; it changed by department and round 👍

For Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, the Computer Engineering (International Program) cutoffs in 2019 were a bit lower than regular COE, but still competitive.

Rough idea (2019 trends):

• Around 92–95 percentile (approx.) for General category

• Could vary depending on round and seat availability

International programs usually had slightly relaxed cutoffs compared to core CSE/COE.

Exact numbers changed each round, but mid-90 percentile range was the safe zone 👍
