Honestly, Thapar is a good private engineering college, but it does come at a cost.
For B.Tech, the total expense for 4 years (including tuition + hostel) usually goes around ₹28–35 lakhs, depending on your branch and accommodation. It's on the higher side compared to many colleges, so budgeting is important.
As for faculty, most professors are qualified (many with PhDs), and academics are taken seriously. Teaching quality is generally considered good, especially in core branches like CSE, ECE, and Mechanical. Like any big university, experiences can vary by department and individual professor.

With 95.94 percentile in JEE Mains, you have a strong chance at Thapar University for most branches 👍
What you can expect:
✅ CSE / CSE (AI/ML) / COE – Good chances (may depend on category & counselling round)
✅ ECE / ENC / EEE – Very safe
✅ Other branches – Almost confirmed
Thapar admissions are primarily based on JEE Main percentile (50% seats) and 12th board marks (50% seats).
👉 Make sure you:
Apply through the official Thapar admission portal
Participate in counselling rounds
Keep backup branch preferences ready
If you tell me your 12th percentage + category (if any), I can give a more accurate estimate.

Honestly speaking, chances are very low.
With 75% in boards and 26 percentile in JEE Main, getting admission to Thapar University (TIET) for BTech is unlikely, even in lower-demand branches. Thapar's cut-offs are usually much higher, especially for JEE-based admissions.
You might have a very slim chance only if:
Seats remain vacant in later counselling rounds
You're open to non-core / less demanded branches
You have Punjab domicile or reserved category

With 87% in Class 12, getting ECE at Thapar University is unlikely through board-marks alone.
ECE admissions are mainly based on JEE Main rank, while Class 12 marks are only for eligibility.
In board-merit rounds, ECE cutoffs usually go 93–95%+ PCM.
So, 87% isn't enough by itself — a strong JEE Main score is the realistic way to secure ECE.

Honestly speaking, 69.3% in PCM is quite low for Thapar University, even with Punjab quota.
For most BTech branches, Thapar's cut-offs (via JEE Main or 12th PCM) usually stay above 75–80%, and popular branches go much higher. With 69.3%, getting a regular BTech seat in Patiala campus is very unlikely.
That said, you might have a small chance in:
Less demanded branches
Later rounds / spot counselling (if seats remain)
Non-BTech or allied programs (if you're open to alternatives)

MBA eligibility is NOT based on your IPE/AP (12th) marks. For the MBA (including Business Analytics & Big Data) at Thapar University, the university requires a bachelor's degree with minimum marks — not 12th/Intermediate (IPE/AP) scores.
Minimum Graduation Requirement: You must have at least 50 % aggregate marks in your undergraduate degree (45 % for SC/ST/PwD) to be eligible for MBA admission.
Entrance Exam Matters: Admission is based on valid MBA entrance scores (like CMAT/NMAT/CAT/XAT/MAT/GMAT/SNAP or the university's own TMAT). Your board marks (IPE/AP) do not directly affect MBA admission.
Summary: So there's no specific IPE/AP mar

- CMAT Cutoff: For the MBA in Business Analytics & Big Data, the general category cutoff is around 75 percentile in CMAT to get shortlisted for further rounds.
- NMAT Cutoff: The NMAT score cutoff for the same specialization is typically around 50-55 score range (approximately 150 in some reporting scales) for general candidates.
- Selection Stage: Clearing the entrance cutoffs (CMAT/NMAT) only makes you eligible for the next stage — group discussion / personal interview — which also influences final admission. (General admission process insight)
- Note on Trends: Cutoffs can slightly vary year-to-year based on applicant pool strength, exam d
