It's good with a lot of opportunities, but you need to grab them yourself. Nobody will babysit you.

Faculty: I don't know if it is the same everywhere or just at my college. But you have to learn everything on your own or YouTube. Very few teachers actually want to teach. Otherwise, they just need their salary. Teachers are just a formality. You need to upgrade your skills by yourself.

Satisfied with the college. You can do very well if you put in the work here.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, and the course curriculum is aligned with the industry. Semester exams are moderate. You can pass them with two days of study before exams. The major research activities in the Department are in the fields of heat transfers, fluid mechanics, polymer science & technology, energy management, biochemical engineering, separation processes, reaction engineering, pulp and paper, and environmental engineering.

One of the best private colleges in Rajasthan.

Faculty: Faculty members of my branch were highly qualified, and I think all of them have earned a PhD. Most of them were from a research background and were very humble in nature. All faculty members tried their best to teach in the easiest way possible. The course was refreshed each year according to current affairs. Semester exams were very tricky if you didn't keep in touch with the books and topics that were essential. The course made the students industry-ready.

2026 Thapar University Review. Placements, life and admission.

Faculty: Faculty is one of the most respected faculties across the country. Some teachers are paid so much because of the levels of excellence they have in their subjects. Although exams are tough and there is too much pressure from exams. Exams are one of the worst times of the year.

It is an okay college if you don't have any other options, but it's very expensive.

Faculty: Teachers are okay, but you have to do all the studying yourself. The courses are kind of old and not very relevant. Like in every college, you have to study on your own. Classes are just for attendance mostly, but the labs are important. The treatment cell continuously organizes different workshops and upskilling activities to make the students ready.

Good university for BBA students, with supportive faculty and decent campus facilities.

Faculty: Faculty members are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Many teachers explain topics clearly and support students with assignments and projects.

It has really good infrastructure.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified. Teaching quality is good. The course curriculum is okay. Semester exams are of a medium difficulty level. Teachers are from different states of India, which leads to diversity in language, accent, etc. Talking about the curriculum, I feel like many unnecessary subjects are also being taught that are a waste of time and the potential of students. The CGPA system is relatively new. It has helpful and cooperative staff members and good management.

Thapar from a Sophomore’s point of view.

Faculty: The teachers are okay. Only a few teachers are truly knowledgeable and actually know how to teach. The rest of them are just teaching for the money. The course curriculum is of a good level, but it is not implemented well. It can make a student industry-ready, but the student has to put in extra effort. The semester exams are of medium level, not too hard and not too easy. The passing marks are 35 out of 100.

This is one of the best premier institutes of India.

Faculty: The faculty are very good, possessing a very high level of knowledge on the topics. They are very friendly also. All I can say is if you have the will to study, you have 10000 opportunities to do that in our college. We have multiple clubs offering soft skills as well as coding skills.

Review of Thapar University.

Faculty: All professors are highly qualified, including IITians and NITians. The course is a bit irrelevant. 1-2 subjects make students industry-ready. But at the end of the day, students have to develop skills on their own, which helps in placement highly. Semester exams can be passed with studying a week prior.

Infrastructure is top-notch, campus life is good, and placements are fine.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable but rarely interested in teaching. In every semester, there are 1-2 very good teachers; the rest are okay, and some are just PPT reading machines. The curriculum is fast evolving and relevant. The semester exams are fairly easy, provided you start studying 1 week before MST and EST, and are good in lab evaluations, sessionals, and quizzes.

Really good crowd and infrastructure, but a bit expensive.

Faculty: The teachers here are always ready to help and they are all very well educated. They never say no to teaching a topic again. I think the curriculum is not really appropriate. In first year, we are not taught subjects according to our specialisation and course stream. Another flaw is the 75 percent attendance rule.

Good college but uncertain future.

Faculty: Teachers are qualified and knowledgeable. Teaching quality depends upon the teacher you get. I mean the curriculum is good but I believe no college makes you industry ready. It is the student who has to put in the effort and make themselves skilled. Semester exams are easy you can easily score a 8.5 + sgpa each sem. Pass percentage is also decent although I do not have an exact percentage. I do know that the passing marks are 35 and if you are failing by a mark or so they give you race marks.

Good infrastructure, supportive faculty and decent placements.

Faculty: The faculty is mostly qualified, experienced and supportive and many teachers are knowledgeable in their subjects. Teaching quality is generally good, with a mix of theory and practical examinations. The curriculum is relevant and covers core subjects like programming, data structures and operating systems which help build a strong foundation, but students need to do additional self learning to be fully industry ready. Semester exams are of moderate difficulty and students who attend classes reg...

Honestly, Thapar is a good private engineering college, but it does come at a cost.

For B.Tech, the total expense for 4 years (including tuition + hostel) usually goes around ₹28–35 lakhs, depending on your branch and accommodation. It's on the higher side compared to many colleges, so budgeting is i
