Yes, Thapar University offers a few B.Sc. specializations, but if your interest is Fashion Design, I'd honestly suggest having a look at LPU too. The programme gives students exposure through fashion shows, live industry projects, internships, and portfolio development, with placement opportunities in leading fashion and retail brands. Also, LPUNEST scholarships can also help reduce the overall fee.

| University | Fee(for 4 year approx) | Average CSE Placement | Overall Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thapar | Around INR 18.0 - 22.0 Lakhs | INR 11–13 LPA | It has expensive fees but premium industry recognition. |
| MIT Pune | Around INR 14.0 - 16.0 Lakhs | INR 7–8 LPA | It has high fees and living costs but great location advantage. |
| Bharati Vidyapeeth | Around INR 6.0 - 8.0 Lakhs | INR 6–7 LPA | It has lower tuition fees compared to MIT Pune and Thapar, offering good ROI. |
| Chitkara | Around INR 8.8 - 10.4 Lakhs | INR 6–6.5 LPA | This college has better controlled environment than CU/LPU. |
| Chandigarh Univ | Around INR 10.4 - 12.0 Lakhs | INR 5.5–6.5 LPA | College offers good infrastructure, but you must fight hard in mass placements. |
| LPU | Around INR 11.2 - 12.8 Lakhs | INR 5.5–6.5 LPA | The college has an exceptional campus life, but high student crowd. |

Honestly, for BTech CSE I'd pick Thapar. It has a stronger engineering reputation, better placement opportunities and a stronger peer group overall. Chitkara is decent too, but if you have both options, I'd go with Thapar.

Yes, definitely worth considering. Thapar has a good reputation, strong academics, decent placements and good industry exposure. If you're getting a preferred branch there, I'd say go for it.

Thapar has pretty solid BTech placements, especially for CSE, COE and related branches. A lot depends on your branch and skills, but overall the placement scene is one of the better things about Thapar.

If you have CSE at both, I'd pick Thapar. Chitkara is a decent option, especially if fees are a big factor, but Thapar has the stronger engineering reputation and overall peer group. If the fee difference isn't a major issue for you, I'd go with Thapar.
