Internship chances by the college are very less mainly because of the limited demand in the market so students have to apply for their own internships.

Satisfied with the college. You can do very well if you put in the work here.
Placements: It is overall a good branch, an underrated one. Teachers are cooperative and strive to help you achieve much more. Top recruiting companies are: Reliance, OCCL, HMEL, Deloitte, Trident, Honeywell, Jubilant, etc. If you put in the work, you can get placements.
Infrastructure: Labs are good, classrooms are fully air-conditioned, and Wi-Fi works well. But I must say the library here is top-notch. It has specialized well-equipped laboratories, especially for business incubation in biofertilizer and biopesticide production, food processing and analysis, pilot scale lab, temperature-controlled rooms classified as growth rooms, cold room, inoculation rooms, instrumentation room, a biocomposting and vermicomposting unit, commercial production of mushrooms, biogas plant, and a polyhouse for mass production of the blue-green algal biofertilizer. There is also a well-equipped office with personal computers, printers, fax machines, scanners, DLP projector, digital camera, reprography, networking, and a library and seminar hall.
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.
Placements: The reputation of placement of this college was one of the best among the private colleges. The average package was 8 LPA. The highest package was above 15 LPA. The main companies for recruiting were TCS, Tata Motors, Microsoft, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, etc. The roles that were offered were production engineer, design engineer, quality engineer, etc. The internship in my course was very good in the local area.
Infrastructure: The campus provided smart classrooms to all the department students with A/C. Mechanical labs were highly advanced, and the CAD labs were also good and tidy. Robotics labs have been introduced recently and have high-quality products. The library was very big with sufficient books and digital access. Hostel facilities were better than those at other private colleges. The mess food was full of variety.
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.
Other: The benefit of studying at this campus was that it was possible to get a well-paid internship.

2026 Thapar University Review. Placements, life and admission.
Placements: My branch has the best placement in the whole college, from software tech roles to electronics core roles to non-tech roles that were offered. This year, 98% placement record with an average package near to 19 LPA. Placement is decently good. Our college also has a minimum cap for companies; any company offering below 7.2 LPA is not allowed in the placement season. Despite that, 500+ companies visit every year.
Infrastructure: Hostels are like hotels. In fact, they actually are hotels converted to hostels. Best infrastructure. In fact, the college has several awards for best infrastructure. We have Asia's 7th largest library. Infrastructure is mesmerizing, an architectural marvel. However, these days there is too much construction that spoils the vibe.
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.
Other: We are number 1 in India in sports. In all major hackathons, our students are in the top 3. We have North India's best and largest fests. The only bad part of this college is the in-time of hostels. Hate that honestly.

It is an okay college if you don't have any other options, but it's very expensive.
Placements: In my branch, around 80% of the students got placed, and the average package is around 11 to 12 LPA. The top recruiting companies are from computer or electronics, and the majority of the people go for computer jobs in my branch. According to the fees of the college, the placements are not that great, but if you really work hard, you can make something of yourself and achieve a good package. The college also has a 50% quota for Punjab residents. AI branches have also been introduced, so it might be a good option.
Infrastructure: The library is actually very good with good Wi-Fi. Labs and classrooms are well facilitated, the mess food is very good since we are in Punjab, and the hostels are very good too. The sports facilities and medical facilities are good too, with gyms in every hostel.
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.

Which is better among DIT and Thapar University to pursue B.Tech in chemical or petroleum?

Answered a week ago

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.
