Great college by infrastructure, placements and college life and the faculty.

Placements: Numerous companies come to our college for different roles, both teaching and non-teaching. They offer a range of salaries and benefits. The highest salary offered was around 36 lakhs per annum. Companies also come for internships as well as full-time opportunities. The minimum stipend for internships is 12,000 per month, and the maximum is 1,00,000 per month. Almost every company that you've ever heard of comes for placements at our college. To get a placement, we just have to be good at what we do. The first step is usually an online assessment, which is very important because if we clear that, we will be able to sit for the interview, which is the next step.

Infrastructure: This college has one of the best infrastructures and hostels in the country. The food is delicious, and the portions are generous. The Wi-Fi is available everywhere on campus, and the library is well-stocked with an extensive collection of books.

Faculty: The teachers here are very helpful and knowledgeable. They are always willing to help us with whatever we need, and they also motivate us to do our best. The course curriculum is very relevant, and we will definitely need all of these skills in the industry. The exams are averagely difficult, but if we attend all the lectures and study the content provided by the teachers, it should be fine.

Other: I have always liked electronics, so I chose this course. There are many societies on campus that will help you do better and pursue whatever extracurricular activities you want. The annual fest is called SATurnalia, and it is very grand. Many celebrities come to perform.

Disappointed because of the faculty recently. Placements are not good, but infrastructure is good .

Placements: Average placements recently are not nice. The top recruiters are Apple, Google, Infosys, etc. 60–70% of students were placed. The total number of students placed this year was 1770; further, 70% of students were placed and the average package was around 5 lakh to 11.09 lakh.

Infrastructure: Hostels are old. Wi-Fi is excellent and the library is amazing; it provides various facilities. There are separate hostels for boys and girls. The library is centrally air-conditioned and open 24 hours a day. There is Wi-Fi everywhere on campus .

Faculty: Exams are very difficult and the pass percentage is around 35%. The exams are difficult, with a passing percentage of 35%. People need to study a lot to pass and appear in exams. The internship scenario was not good; people have to work really hard for it.

Review of Thapar University.

Placements: Placements are pretty decent. All the MAANG and top non-MAANG companies visit the campus like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, JP Morgan, etc. Placements percentage is about 90%. The highest salary package offered is 56 LPA and the average salary package offered is 10 LPA. Students who are serious and skilled get internships as high as Rs. 2 Lakh per month.

Infrastructure: One thing that makes Thapar university better than any other college in the same category is the facilities they offer. Hostels and mess are far better than other colleges, except for a few old hostels, but renovations are ongoing. Academic block, especially library, LT and LP rooms, and CSED are top notch. No other college in my knowledge offers such facilities.

Faculty: Teachers in Thapar university are qualified. Maximum number of teachers are graduates from government universities. Course curriculum is relevant to a very far extent. It is not like a student will be industry-ready solely by acing academics. One will have to work on skills, learn every skill set, and excel in them. Sem exams are moderate, but if students think they can pull an all-nighter and score well, they are very wrong. Students has to study daily as teach in class.

It is good for B. Tech Biotechnology with well-equipped labs and good faculty.

Placements: Almost 80% are placed this year in this course. The highest salary package offered is 40 LPA. The average salary package offered is 15 LPA - 20 LPAand the lowest salary package offered is 6 LPA - 7 LPA. Top recruiting companies for our course are Stryker, J.P. Morgan, and Root Analysis. After this course, various opportunities are waiting for students. We can work as a biotechnologist in the research field. We can work in pharmaceutical companies. We can start our own business after it. By learning coding and AI skills in this field, it will be of great help for better opportunities.

Infrastructure: Our college will be provided with great labs and great air conditioner classes. Campus is also very good. If we talk about hostels, they are very good. We get spacious rooms with air conditioners or non-conditioners as per our choice. Food is also amazing compared to other colleges.

Faculty: Faculty members are very good, professional, and cooperative at Thapar. They help students with everything and are ready to assist you anytime. The faculty is friendly here, and they teach you us the best. Semester exams in the first semester may be difficult as syllabus is new for students, and it will take time to understand subjects. But there is no need to worry, with time and proper study, students will improve. We have two exams each semester MSTs and tests. Before them, there are class tests and lab evaluations.

Thapar Institute has top-notch infrastructure with great facilities.

Placements: I'm a second-year student of TIET pursuing my B.Tech in computer engineering. Placement for computer branches is decent; some companies offer good placements, but due to the large number of students in this branch, the CGPA cutoff is very high. Companies like JP Morgan are among the top recruiters. The average package is around 10 lakhs for this course; the highest can vary year upon year. The lowest package is 3-4 lakhs.

Infrastructure: The campus provides high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity throughout. Labs in all departments are highly equipped. Computer labs have the latest software and hardware to support practical learning experiences. Classrooms are equipped with modern teaching aids like projectors and mics, etc. TIET's Nava Nalanda Library is a treasure trove of academic resources. You can find all the necessary books in this 4-floor library. It's a great place to study, research, have group discussions, and do presentations. Hostels are very clean, and rooms are spacious. The mess provides good quality food. Also, the evening and night canteens offer a variety of options. Medical facilities are good; ambulances are available on time, and the dispensary is open 24/7. There is a sports complex on campus that includes an indoor badminton court and all the necessary facilities to promote physical activity and teamwork.

Faculty: Some faculty members are really nice and helpful, while others you may not find as helpful. Most of the faculty members are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Yes, the course is somewhat relevant. Semester exams are quite challenging for some subjects as you are studying them for the first time. Pass percentage varies based on the course and the difficulty level of the exam.
