The internships scenario is not very good as only toppers get placed through the college in companies like UOP, and others have to manage on their own.

4.0Placements4.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty4.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

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.

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

Placements: I am a BBA student of the recent batch. Placement opportunities in our course are moderate. Around 40 to 50 percent of students get placed through the campus placement. The highest package is around 17 LPA, and the lowest package is around 10 LPA. Around 60 to 70 percent of students got internships during my course.

Infrastructure: The college provides good infrastructure for students. Classrooms are neat and clean. The campus is well-maintained. It has Wi-Fi, a computer lab, and a library with many academic books and study materials for BBA students. The campus has grounds for football, volleyball, hockey, badminton, table tennis, tennis, basketball, etc. It also has a swimming pool.

Faculty: Faculty members are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. Many teachers explain topics clearly and support students with assignments and projects. The BBA course curriculum covers important subjects like marketing, finance, and business communication, which help students understand the business environment.

Other: I chose the BBA course because I am interested in business management and marketing.

It has really good infrastructure.

Placements: From my senior batch, approximately 2,200 students got placed. The lowest package offered ranges from 6-7 LPA, and the highest package offered is 42 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Amazon, Brain, American Express, JP Morgan, and Morgan Stanley. Top roles offered are SDE, data analyst, interns, and product management. Meesho also visits here. Approximately 300 companies come here to hire students from my college.

Infrastructure: Facilities are good. Wi-Fi is available in every hostel and department. The library is very spacious and contains enough relevant books. The hostel's mess food is good. Medical facilities are good. All sports and games are available here. The canteen is mostly run by Sodexo.

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.

Other: I always wanted to be a computer engineer. The best thing about my course is placements. Things that could actually make it more useful are actual implementation rather than theory. Fests organised are the best. Events take place very often.

Is there a preferred book to prepare for LEET especially for recognized universities like DTU and Thapar?

There isn't really one "must-have" book for LEET that everyone follows. Most students I know used a mix of diploma-level textbooks, previous year papers and aptitude practice books.

How is Thapar University for COE placements? Should I pursue civil engineering from DTU or COE from Thapar University?

Answered Yesterday

COE at Thapar has pretty good placement opportunities, especially if you're interested in software and tech roles. Personally, I'd pick COE at Thapar over Civil at DTU if your goal is placements and a career in tech. Branch usually matters more in this comparison.
