It depends on your goals. If you want to start working soon and gain practical skills, a Diploma is a good option. If you seek deeper knowledge, better career growth, and higher positions, a B.Tech degree is usually the better choice. At LPU, both options include industry exposure and EduRev-powered learning, so you will benefit either way. LPU offers Diploma programs in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Computer Science Engineering, focusing on hands-on training. The B.Tech programme covers a wider range, including CSE with specializations like AI, Data Science, and Cyber Security, as well as Mechanical, Civil, ECE, Aerospace, a

In providing a comparison engineering institutions like Chandigarh University, Lovely Professional University, Chitkara University, and Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, the NIRF 2024 lists that these institutions are some of the well known private institutions in North India. Thapar seems to be doing better in the engineering category, but LPU has also gained good reputation in the overall university rankings and its big academic ecosystem.

LPU is one of the institutions that many students consider to be the best option due to its modern infrastructure, international association and emphasis on applied learning. The unive

Yes, you can directly register for admission at the Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology online by filling out the application form on their official site. The forms for UG/B.Tech are currently open, and you don't need a separate entrance besides JEE Main/board merit to register.

For the 2026–27 B.Tech session, the last date to submit your application online was around May 8, 2026 (with a normal fee), and a slightly later date with a higher fee was also available.

After registration, you'll participate in counselling/seat allotment based on your JEE Main score or 12th marks.

Honestly, with 91%ile and 90+ in boards, you've got a decent shot at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology.

CSE core might be tough at that percentile, but branches like ECE, Electrical, Mechanical, or some newer specialisations are definitely possible.

It'll depend on counselling rounds and cutoffs that year, but you're very much in the game. Don't stress too much.

Thapar University is one of the top college choices for MCA course. The college offers the latest curriculum. The teaching methadology is focused on practical learning rather than theory based learning. Some of the top companies that recruit students for MCA course are Rapido, Insurance Dekho, DotPe, Digital XForce, Tata Motors  and more. The college has dedicated placement cell which makes it ideal for students.

Short answer — yes, it's possible in some cases, but it depends on the branch and year.

Thapar fills:

  • Major seats through JEE Main

  • Some seats through 12th PCM merit (board marks category)

If your PCM percentage is strong (usually 90%+ for safer side), you can compete in the board merit category. But for top branches like CSE/COE, it's still very competitive even through boards.

So yes, you can apply without JEE — but your 12th marks need to be good.

Bro 91.1 percentile is solid 👍 not crazy high, but definitely workable.

For Thapar:

  • CSE/COE is honestly tough at that percentile.

  • ENC/ECE maybe borderline.

  • Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Chemical — you've got a decent shot.

  • If you have Punjab quota, your chances improve a lot.

It really depends on competition this year, but yes — TIET is possible. Don't lose hope.

If you tell me your category + Punjab or outside, I'll give you a more real estimate.
