From my perspective, LPU is worth considering for an MBA because it offers multiple specialisations, industry-oriented learning, internships and placement preparation. For its 2025 MBA batch, the reported average package was ₹8.56 LPA for the top 50% of students, ₹10.56 LPA for the top 20%, and ₹11.

Both Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology and LPU are established options for B.Tech CSE, but students should compare curriculum, placements, fees, specialisations and scholarships before deciding. Thapar offers merit scholarships that are limited in number and largely tied to JEE Main ran

The difficulty depends on the programme you are applying for so first check the current entrance test pattern on Thapar's official website. It may not be like CMAT as the syllabus and format can differ. Focus on the official syllabus sample papers and timed practice tests to prepare effectively.
