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.
