Extremely good infrastructure, nice faculty, but the fees are a bit high.
Placements: About 70 per cent of the students in my college were placed. Top recruiters are Nvidia and BAINS. About 40 per cent of the students got an internship in the 5th semester in companies like BAINS, BCG, etc. Top roles offered in my course are A. E. [Assistant Engineer] in PSPSCL.
Infrastructure: Superb hostels, nice bathrooms, Wi-Fi speed is mid but manageable. Labs have top-quality, up-to-date machines and instruments. Lecture halls are very good and in nice condition. Roads and stadiums are very good. Overall, nice infrastructure as well as 24th NIRF rank.
Faculty: Faculty are very knowledgeable and well-qualified to teach, as expected of a reputable college. Very nice and friendly lab technician. Overall, the course curriculum is very thorough, and the individual collaborated to fit the course in line with the objective of placements.
Other: I want to get a position of A. E. in CEA [Central Electricity Board]. Things I would like to improve would be to lower the feels a bit. Events are very nice, there are a ton of societies that conduct their events very nicely.

This college is something great that everyone should experience. The infrastructure is top-notch.
Placements: I have chosen Computer Science engineering, the top branch. Highest package was 55 LPA, and top companies come to recruit. As heard from seniors, competition is quite tough, we need to be perfectionists in our fields, with overall development.
Infrastructure: There is Wi-Fi in the whole building. Library is great, very beautifully made, and the labs are well maintained with all equipments. We have all medical facilities, and mess food is all delicious with hygiene maintained. We have all the games from table tennis to swimming. Infrastructure is good, very clean and maintained,
Faculty: Faculty is great. Semesters exams are quite difficult, they give practical knowledge too. I believe working hard and smart is the main task.
Other: Events are top-notch. Crowd from different places. Many activities, good placement.

Decent faculty, placements, great infrastructure, and enjoyable campus life.
Placements: No students have been placed yet in my course, as the first batch of it is still to pass out. Otherwise, VLSI domain companies come to college often and hire for design engineer roles. People also get roles like testing engineer, basic engineer, etc. Salaries vary for top companies, ranging from 16 to 18LPA.
Infrastructure: Facilities are great here, in fact, one of the best compared to other colleges. Fully air conditioned classrooms, the biggest library in India, and Wi-Fi connectivity are available in every block. Hostels are no less, they provide the best facilities here. The mess food is reasonable, medical is a call away, you can use the gym, etc.
Faculty: Professors are good. They have knowledge and are well qualified, but some of them lack teaching qualities. Course curriculum is absolutely industry relevant, and it will help for sure. Semester exams are decent, you can study 1 to 2 hours per day and get very good marks. The pass percent is 35%.

The best college in India.
Placements: I am going to pass out in 2028. I study AIML here, with a batch of 120 students. 90% of students get placed. The highest package can go up to 3 crore per annum, and the lowest is 4 LPA to 5 LPA. Nvidia, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and various other companies come here. I'm still in 2nd year, so students are looking for an internship for this summer. Most everyone does one. Top roles offered in my branch are data scientist, ML engineering, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is great. The library is very beautiful and big. Wi-Fi is great. It's available everywhere. Labs have very good infrastructure. Hostels are also great. But the food in the mess is not that great. Medical facilities are also great. You can get an emergency ambulance whenever needed.
Faculty: Teachers are great. They help a lot with projects. But it's all on you if you approach them or not. The course curriculum is very relevant. If you study everything in detail, you will be industry-ready. Semester exams are medium to hard.

It is great, but not good value for money.
Placements: I have not come to the placements year yet, but I have heard a lot about the placements that the seniors get amazing jobs from Many international companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Instagram, and Facebook. In my course, especially the roles and the job placements are really good.
Infrastructure: Great infrastructure here. Wi-Fi, very cool buildings. Classrooms are almost the latest, and now the remaining blocks are also getting renovated. It would be a great course to join, a great college, and teachers. I haven't been to a hostel, but they are dope.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified but not that helpful. The semesters are normal, not that difficult. If you try too hard, you will get great marks. If you don't study, it will be very tough for you to catch up with the remaining students, as competition is high.
Other: This was very interesting before I entered college.

Commonly asked questions
On Comparisons
Q:   Is Thapar University better than Chandigarh University?
A: 
In my opinion, it is a reputable university. The school places a strong emphasis on experiential learning that is student-centered and built on the use of theories and concepts. Every year, companies like EY, American Express, FedEx, Hyundai, etc. Conduct recruitment visits on campus. The maximum package offered to pupils is about 17.66L. LMTSM offers top-notch education and job placements. The LM Thapar School of Management (LMTSM) is one the leading MBA colleges in India. It was founded on July 23, 2007 in the former princely state of Patiala (Punjab, India), under the umbrella of the Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (Deemed-to-be-University), a 66-year-old academic institution. The technologically advanced facility covers 33 acres.
Q:   Which university is more affordable for MBA course among Thapar University and Chandigarh University?
A: 

Thapar University MBA fee is INR 9.2 Lacs - INR 10.3 lakh,  and the tuition fees for MBA at Chandigarh University range from INR 1.5 lakh- to INR 10 lakh. However, the fee structure can be only one component that candidates consider while comparing universities and colleges but several factors can be taken into account while choosing the best college, such as placement packages, seats, available specialisation, ranking of that particular institute, affiliation, accreditation, etc. 

 

Q:   Which of these is better for BTech CSE: Thapar University or SRM University, Kattankulathur?
A: 

Both the colleges are equally good, but I will vote for Thapar University, Patiala because of the standard which the University has maintained since its establishment. I will try to distinguish between both colleges with the help of certain parameters:

  • ADMISSION PROCESS: Thapar University admits its students on the basis of JEE main marks. Usually cutoff goes higher for Computer engineering (around 180). While SRM University conducts its own examination called SRMJEE.
  • CAMPUS: SRM University has a very good and beautiful campus. Student intake is higher at SRM University. 
  • Thaper don't have any management quota seat whereas SRM had few seats reserved for the management quota. The fee is almost similar in both colleges. And location-wise Chennai has the upper hand over Patiala.
