Thapar University

With 96 percentile, you're already in a strong position.At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, you will likely get a good branch (even CSE/COE chances are decent depending on cutoffs).But honestly don't rush.If you still have another JEE attempt left, it makes sense to wait and try to improve. Even a small jump can open better options (top NITs, IIITs, etc.).Simple way to think-

• If Thapar is your safe + comfortable option → keep it

• But don't lock in yet if you can still improve your score

You're in a good spot. Just play it smart and keep options open.

For Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, there isn't one single fixed “last date” for all master's programs — it changes by course (M.Tech, MBA, MCA, MSc) and rounds.

Usually:

• Applications open around March–April
• Last dates fall around June–July (with multiple rounds/extended deadlines)

Best move: apply as early as possible because seats fill in rounds.

At Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (BITS Hyderabad):

• You get tier-1 exposure, peer group, brand value
• Eco + CSE combo is powerful (tech + finance/business)
• But it's 5 years and you need to maintain CG to secure CSE

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (Thapar):

• CSBS (Computer Science in Business Systems) is good and industry-aligned
• More straightforward 4-year path
• Decent placements, less uncertainty

👉 Simple way to decide:

• Want top-tier exposure + can handle risk → BITS
• Want safer, direct CS path → Thapar

There's no fixed “marks” cutoff for Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology — it works on percentile/rank, and it changes every year.

Rough idea based on trends:

• CSE / COE → ~95–97+ percentile
• ENC / ECE → ~90–95 percentile
• Mechanical / Electrical → ~85–92 percentile
• Civil / Chemical / Biotech → ~70–85 percentile

Marks vary each paper, so focus on percentile. Also, Thapar has a board marks quota, so strong 12th % can help.

You don't need a perfect score — mid 80s–90s percentile can still get you in.

Thapar mainly offers B.Tech through 10+2 (PCM) route, not lateral entry into all branches. And aerospace isn't a standard core branch there.

What you can do:

• If you want Thapar → go through 12th (PCM) + JEE route
• Or look for colleges that offer lateral entry after diploma (but even there, branch change to aerospace can be tricky)

So yes, possible path exists — but not directly from your current diploma into aerospace at Thapar.

If aerospace is your goal, better to plan the path carefully from here.
