Thapar University

If I had to choose, I'd lean towards Thapar. A senior I know from Thapar's Chemical Engineering branch had a good experience with the faculty, labs, and placement opportunities. If you're considering Chemical Engineering, Thapar is definitely a strong option.

Thapar has pretty solid BTech placements, especially for CSE, COE and related branches. A lot depends on your branch and skills, but overall the placement scene is one of the better things about Thapar.
