Thapar University

Not as such. For some branches like, Mechanical, ECE etc. Thapar University is good over SRM. I agree to a point that in SRM, you can get more exposure than Thapar University.

It will with some conditions. Like, you need to score more than 8.5 CGPA every semester to continue the scholarships.

Yes, you can. It depends in which you want. You can get ECE or other branches easily. Since computer engineering seats have been increase, so yes you may get that also in-person counselling.

Look, it depends upon the cut off Thapar Univertsity. According to the lists released till now, you cannot get admission in computer engineering. But, you are applicable for other branches. It is up to your luck, if you get admission in-person counselling in computer engineering. Otherwise, try for other branches.

According to the cut-off lists of Thapar, your rank can get you in ECE or ENC easily.
So, I think, yes. You can get in 2nd or 3rd cut-off list of Thapar.
