The average package at Thapar University is around INR 7 LPA in every single branch, while the packages at Chitkara University ranged from INR 3-4 LPA.

The highest package primarily depends on how prepared you are, and how academically sound your vitae looks. However, in Thapar University, the highest package recorded was about INR 43 LPA. 

Here is the placement report of both Thapar University and Chitkara University,

Hope this helps you understand better, wish you all the best!

One of my friends had been in the very first batch of B.E Electronics and Computer branch. I might be able to share some facts about the college and the course which can be useful.

• The batch size consists of 68 students.
• The placement records were pretty good. 
• This branch was considered for recruitment in the core companies of both ECE and CS.
• Students were placed by some of the top recruiting core CS companies that include D.E Shaw, Microsoft, Walmart, Samsung, Wipro as well core Electronics companies such as NXP, Mentor Graphics, etc.
• The average placement package for the first batch was 7 LPA while the highest was 16 LPA for this branch.
• The course curriculum of this branch includes the core subjects from both ECE and CS branches. 
• The student gets a sneak peek at the common subjects required for the placement criteria for the core CS as well as ECE branches.

If the students are not a big fan of coding cultures that the CS branch usually offers nor good at ECE setups then they would not regret getting into this branch. In the end, the placement will only be availed by the students with their hard work and efforts.

Thapar University takes admission based on JEE Mains marks. To get admission at Thapar, you will need to fill up an admission form where you will have to put all your basic details and your academic scores. You also need to pay the application fee. You will be shortlisted for admission based on your JEE Mains rank. 

You will have to score well in JEE mains in order to be selected. Thapar University calculates the rank of all the applicants and this is known as TU rank. 

After the selection, there will be two counseling sessions and onsite counseling where you will be allocated your streams which will be based on your TU rank. 

Thapar University is ranked 31st among top universities in India by NIRF 2021 Rankings. Here is a rundown of the yearly rankings by different organisations of Thapar University,

You can be acquainted with the details on the main website. It is suggested that you research thoroughly before eventually choosing an institution to pursue your education. 

I have a few friends from Thapar University and from them, I heard many stories regarding placements. Here is one of such stories. 

One of their seniors faced some initial problems in the placement phase. He was the best in networking and web development in the entire college. He had such skills and knowledge regarding the course that he was considered better than even some of the faculties. He was the only student in the entire college to make it to (GSOC) Google Summer of Code. In spite of all this, he had a CGPA of 6 because he didn’t just study for scoring so he was very carefree with the subjects he was not interested in, which brought down his CGPA.

Initially, he was left out to even participate in many placement interviews, due to his CGPA. Almost 75 percent of the CSE batch was placed with some companies in some cases they also got multiple offers but he was left out. 

In the next phase of placements, there was a company offering consulting roles. He was not shortlisted for the interview because of his CGPA. He was sleeping in his room when he got a call from the PR saying he has an interview in 15 minutes. 

What happened was, the company officials called PR and told them they have a technical post and they were looking for the best candidate and his name was coined. He wowed the officials in his interview and got the job offer. But he didn’t take it since the job profile didn’t interest him. 

Following that he got 3 more internship offers and 3 more placement offers because he was specially mentioned by that one company. 

Yes, your class 12th score will be included in admission at Thapar University. Earlier admission was given on the basis of JEE Main rank and 12th board score in PCB/PCM. The division of seats was around 70% and 30% respectively.

But the Thapar Institute had recently revised its admission policy for admissions in the BE/BTech programs. As per the new criteria, 100% of the seats will be allotted on the basis of scores in the Class 12th examination. The student can check the deadlines on the official website of the college.

MBA from Thapar University will entail both the good and the bad. One of my friends studies at Thapar University in the MBA program and this is what he has to say:

• An MBA from Thapar University is good if it is the only option you have and would not like to take another shot at scoring a better institute. 
• My cousin graduated with an Engineering degree from Thapar and it was a spectacular experience for him. 
• In fact, Thapar University is well known for its engineering programs more than any other discipline.
• During placements, companies recruit on the basis of these factors Brand name and profile. 
• If both fit rightly then you can get a very good referral.
• Alternatively, if you have had a meaningful experience, professionally, then that speaks as well.
• The MBA program is not well known at Thapar. 
• Also, because the engineering department charges very high fees, the MBA program does that too. 
• The ROI will not be good.

Finally, if you or any of your friends are thinking of pursuing an MBA in Thapar University, then please rethink your requirements.
