No, you don't have to pay the full fee again for the 2nd cutoff at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology.

Here's how it works:

  • You pay once when you accept a seat in the first round
  • In later rounds (like 2nd cutoff), if you get upgraded to a better branch, your seat is automatically adjusted
  • You may just need to pay a difference (if any) — not the full amount again

So no double payment — just adjustments 👍

For Mode 2 (board merit) at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, the process is simple:

You apply through the same online admission form, and while filling it you select the 12th PCM merit category. Then:

  • Upload your 12th marks (PCM)

  • Register for counselling

  • Seats are allotted based on your PCM % (JEE used only as tiebreaker)

For CSE (rough idea):

  • Safe zone: 95–97%+ in PCM

  • 93–95% → borderline (depends on year & competition)

CSE is the most competitive, so higher % gives you better chances 👍

For Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, the Ph.D. seats aren't released as one fixed total like B.Tech.

Seats vary department-wise and intake-wise (2019–20 also) based on:

  • Available research supervisors

  • Ongoing projects/funding

  • Specific specialisations

So instead of a single “vacant seats” number, they publish department-wise availability in the admission brochure/notification for each cycle.

In short — there wasn't one overall vacancy figure; it changed by department and round 👍

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, there's a lot happening beyond classes — you won't get bored if you explore a bit.

You've got technical societies (coding, robotics, AI), where you can build projects and prep for hackathons.

Then cultural clubs — music, dance, dramatics, photography — pretty active, especially during fests.

There are entrepreneurship and business clubs too, good if you're into startups or case competitions.

Sports is big on campus — cricket, football, basketball, gym, etc.

Plus events like fests, hackathons, workshops, guest talks keep happening throughout the year.

Honestly, it depends on you — j

For Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, the Computer Engineering (International Program) cutoffs in 2019 were a bit lower than regular COE, but still competitive.

Rough idea (2019 trends):

  • Around 92–95 percentile (approx.) for General category

  • Could vary depending on round and seat availability

International programs usually had slightly relaxed cutoffs compared to core CSE/COE.

Exact numbers changed each round, but mid-90 percentile range was the safe zone 👍

With 96.8% in RBSE, you've got a strong chance 👍

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, scholarships are usually based on top board/JEE performers and are limited.

With your score, you can expect:

  • A merit-based scholarship (tuition fee waiver/partial)

  • Exact % (like 25%, 50% etc.) depends on your rank among admitted students that year

Top slabs usually go to the highest scorers, so the final amount depends on competition.

Best part — you're definitely in the range to be considered. Just apply early and keep your documents ready 👍

If JEE/NEET doesn't happen (or gets delayed), Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology usually adjusts its process instead of stopping admissions.

In such cases, they typically:

  • Rely more on 12th PCM (board) merit

  • Use JEE score later if/when results come

  • Continue counselling rounds (including 4th) based on available criteria + seat availability

They've done this in the past during disruptions — so admissions still go on, just with slightly modified rules.

Best move: keep checking official updates and stay in the counselling process 👍

Yes, you can 👍

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, a 2-year gap is generally not an issue for admission.

You'll just need to:

  • Meet the usual eligibility (JEE/board criteria)
  • Provide a gap affidavit/explanation if asked

As long as your documents are in order, the gap won't stop your admission.
