Honestly, with 77 percentile and ~76% boards, getting CSE at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is very unlikely.
CSE/COE usually needs much higher percentile or strong board marks.
But you can still have a shot at:
- Civil / Chemical / Biotechnology
- Maybe some newer or lower-demand branches (depending on cutoffs)
If your goal is CSE, you might want to:
- Look at other private colleges
- Or take a drop and try improving your score
Don't lose hope — just adjust the strategy 👍

Honestly, Mechanical at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is a solid but practical choice not a “dream” one.
You will get:
- Good campus, labs, exposure
- Decent peer group and opportunities
- Overall stable placements
But real talk:
- Core mechanical jobs are limited and not very high-paying
- Many students shift to IT/analytics later
- Your growth will depend a lot on your own skills, internships, projects
Simple take-
If your other options are similar or lower tier → it's worth it
If you're getting top NITs/IIITs or CS branches elsewhere → prefer thoseGo for it only if you're okay putting in extra effort or genuinely interested

With 96 percentile, you're already in a strong position.At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, you will likely get a good branch (even CSE/COE chances are decent depending on cutoffs).But honestly don't rush.If you still have another JEE attempt left, it makes sense to wait and try to improve. Even a small jump can open better options (top NITs, IIITs, etc.).Simple way to think-
If Thapar is your safe + comfortable option → keep it
But don't lock in yet if you can still improve your score
You're in a good spot. Just play it smart and keep options open.

At Thapar School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the idea is quite different from typical Indian degrees.
Key features:
- You don't get locked into one stream early — you can mix subjects (like economics + psychology + data science).
- Strong focus on critical thinking, writing, and communication, not just exams.
- More discussion-based classes, projects, and real-world exposure.
- Option to explore before choosing a major/minor.
How it's different:
- Most universities in India are rigid (fixed syllabus, one field).
- TSLA (S) is more flexible and interdisciplinary — closer to US-style education.
- Focus is on how you think, not just what you study.

For Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, there isn't one single fixed “last date” for all master's programs — it changes by course (M.Tech, MBA, MCA, MSc) and rounds.
Usually:
- Applications open around March–April
- Last dates fall around June–July (with multiple rounds/extended deadlines)
Best move: apply as early as possible because seats fill in rounds.

At Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, both are good — just different paths.
COE/CE (Computer Engineering):
- More coding-focused
- Better placement stats overall
- Easier path into software roles
ECE (Electronics & Communication):
- Mix of electronics + coding
- Slightly tougher academically
- Good options in both core + IT (many still go into software)
Simple take:
If you're sure about coding/tech jobs → CE is the safer bet
If you want flexibility or interest in electronics → ECE is solid
Most ECE students still end up in IT roles, but CE gives you a more direct advantage.

Starting at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology? You'll be fine — just don't overcomplicate it.
First few months, focus on settling in. Make friends in your hostel and class — that circle matters a lot more than people think.
Don't ignore academics from day one. It is easy to get carried away early but CGPA matters later for placements and internships.
Explore clubs and societies, but don't join everything. Pick 1-2 you actually enjoy and stay consistent.
Start building a skill early (coding, core subject, whatever your branch needs). Even 30–40 mins daily go a long way.
And honestly don't compare too much. Everyone looks s

There's no fixed “marks” cutoff for Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology — it works on percentile/rank, and it changes every year.
Rough idea based on trends:
- CSE / COE → ~95–97+ percentile
- ENC / ECE → ~90–95 percentile
- Mechanical / Electrical → ~85–92 percentile
- Civil / Chemical / Biotech → ~70–85 percentile
Marks vary each paper, so focus on percentile. Also, Thapar has a board marks quota, so strong 12th % can help.
You don't need a perfect score — mid 80s–90s percentile can still get you in.
