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.

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.

Honestly, Thapar is a good private engineering college, but it does come at a cost.
For B.Tech, the total expense for 4 years (including tuition + hostel) usually goes around ₹28–35 lakhs, depending on your branch and accommodation. It's on the higher side compared to many colleges, so budgeting is important.
As for faculty, most professors are qualified (many with PhDs), and academics are taken seriously. Teaching quality is generally considered good, especially in core branches like CSE, ECE, and Mechanical. Like any big university, experiences can vary by department and individual professor.
