Merit-based scholarships at Thapar University are given to students with strong academic performance. For first-year UG students, eligibility is based on Class 12 marks and JEE Main rank. From the second year onwards, students must maintain a high CGPA (usually 8.0+), with no backlogs, to continue the scholarship.

There is no income limit for merit-based scholarships.

  • You must have a bachelor's degree of at least 3 years in any discipline from a recognised university.

  • You need to have studied Mathematics either at the 10+2 level or during your graduation.

  • You should have at least 60% marks in aggregate in your bachelor's degree (55% for SC/ST).

  • Admission is based on merit (10th, 12th, and graduation marks).

In short: 3-year degree + maths at 12th or graduation + 60% (55% for reserved) is required for MCA at Thapar.

Between the two, Thapar University usually takes the edge for CSE.

It has stronger academics, labs, placements, and peer environment, while LPU is more flexible and easier to get into. If you want exposure and future opportunities, Thapar's the safer bet.

Thapar University is clearly better for B.Tech CSE than Chitkara University.

Why Thapar > Chitkara (for CSE):

  • Stronger brand & reputation

  • Better placements (higher average & top packages)

  • More competitive peer group

  • Better faculty, coding culture, and alumni network

Chitkara is decent if:

  • You want lower fees

  • Easier admissions

  • More hand-holding and structured discipline

Verdict:
If you can afford it and get in → choose Thapar.
If budget or admission is a constraint → Chitkara is okay, but not in the same league.
