If you tell me your field, I can help you track the exact timeline 👍

Yes, you can visit Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology.

The campus is generally open on working days, and there's an admissions/help desk where you can get details about courses, cutoffs, and counselling.

Just a couple of tips:

• Go on a weekday (Mon–Fri) during office hours
• Carry basic docs (marksheets, ID) just in case
• If possible, check or call ahead to confirm timings

It's actually a good idea — you'll get much clearer information face-to-face 👍

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology:

• Main campus = better faculty, exposure, peer group
• Stronger placement opportunities
• More companies + better overall environment

Dera Bassi campus is newer, so:

• Fewer opportunities comparatively
• Placements are okay but not at Patiala level

Even in 2020, most top companies and higher packages were centered around the Patiala campus.

So if you have the choice → CSE Patiala > CSE Dera Bassi 👍

Yeah, Thapar does have that board merit route with JEE as a tiebreaker.

For CSE at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, it's quite competitive even through boards.

Rough idea:

• You usually need around 95–97%+ in PCM to be safe
• With 93–95%, chances become borderline (depends on year)
• JEE percentile helps only in tie situations

Cutoffs fluctuate every year based on demand, but CSE is always the highest.

So if your board % is very strong, you've got a shot — otherwise it gets tough 👍

no, not really.

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, there's no direct/management quota admission like some private colleges.

Admissions are mainly through:

• JEE Main score
• 12th PCM marks (board merit category in some rounds)

If someone is offering you a “direct paid seat,” be careful — that's usually not genuine.

Only legit way is through their official admission process

For Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (recent cycles), B.Tech admissions usually:

• Applications close around May–June (with possible extensions)
• Counselling rounds continue till July–August

Exact dates change every year, so the safest move is to apply early and track rounds.
