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.
