The December test at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is usually the end-semester exam for students.
It generally happens after completion of classes and practicals. The exam pattern depends on the subject, but most papers include theory-based and numerical questions. Internal marks, quizzes, labs, and attendance are also added along with end-sem scores.
The schedule, syllabus, and timings are normally shared by the university before exams, so students get enough time to prepare 👍

Yes, with 80 percentile in JEE Main and 90% in boards, you do have a fair chance at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, especially through the board-based counselling rounds.

With 78% in boards, getting into Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology may be possible, but the branch will likely depend on this year's competition and seat availability.

Cutoffs change every round, so it's hard to predict exactly, but you should still participate in counselling because lower branches can definitely be possible 👍

If you're comparing honestly, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is the stronger pick over Jain University for M.Tech — especially for something like environmental engineering.
Thapar has:
