The department of civil engineering recently completed five decades of its existence. It is one of its kind in the region, which provides quality undergraduate education, excellent research environment by its Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral programs.

Below given are some facts about the civil department and university:

• The department has faculties from various streams and specializations, with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities.
• Students demonstrate a high level of technical expertise in the civil engineering profession with efficient communication and management abilities.
• Students supported lifelong learning by pursuing higher education suitable for the needs of the profession and the community.
• The students achieve leadership roles by helping society as ethical and responsible professionals.
• The civil department has created a strong legacy of alumni, who have excelled in varied fields ranging from academics to project management, designing earthquake repellent structures to constructing bridges, maintaining the ever-changing needs of our developing country.

The table shows a brief overview of the institution:

Everything is good from faculty to placement cell of civil engineering. Overall Thapar University is a potential choice.

Both the institutes hold their own importance and cannot be compared as both are reputed colleges and the only thing that sets them apart is the term ‘IIT’. Having known some people studying in both these institutes, I can say that IIT Ropar is much better than Thapar.

• IIT Ropar has been ranked in the top 3 among new IITs for the past 2 years.
• IIT Ropar would give you a greater opportunity and a better peer group since the students studying here have secured a rank under 5000 in JEE Advanced.
• The placement status of IIT Ropar is amazing. The percentage in the CSE department has been more than 90% with an average of around 16 LPA. 
• Mechanical and electrical remain around 80-85% with an average of around 8-9 LPA in mechanical and 12 LPA in electrical.
• Also, IIT Ropar has enormous research labs compared to any other new IIT. And also, it has deep collaboration with foreign universities.
• The students going for internships, jobs, and studies in foreign universities are relatively high at IIT Ropar as compared to any other new IIT.
• The faculty in IIT Ropar is qualified well enough. Most of them are done with their Ph.D. from top Universities across the world. 

IIT Ropar beats even the other IITs in terms of infrastructure, faculty, and placements. And hence, Private Universities are no parallel to IIT Ropar.

I have a few friends who graduated from Thapar University and according to them, there is no such or major difference between COE, CAG, and CML. As well as in terms of placements and job opportunities there can be no difference found. COE includes both the software as well as the hardware aspects of a system. If you are interested in job opportunities in the gaming industry or graphics-related industry then you should definitely go for it. Your job opportunities will not be affected by your branch. 

These subjects were introduced to give students options as per their interest further in COE. From the 4th semester onwards you are given the option to choose between any of the three.

One of my friends had recently joined Thapar University and here are some of the facts about it that make it stand out among others.

• One of the best streams to pursue at Thapar University is CSE. 
• The placements at Thapar are really good and most of the CSE students get placed.
• Some teachers are not very good with their teaching methods. One of the best professors at Thapar is Mannek sir, he is a mechanics teacher.
• One of the best things you will encounter while studying at Thapar University is the senior mentors. They are like siblings and help you with everything.
• The infrastructure is not very well developed yet, there are few buildings with air conditioning but unfortunately not all buildings.
• There is various student societies present which you can also join.

If you are getting your desired branch then only you should join this institute as you also have to pay a hefty amount of fees.

According to one of my friend's opinions, if you belong to the state Punjab and have completed your studies till class 12 there then you can take a chance for a counseling round. 

But if not there are very less chances with a JEE Mains rank of 47,000 and it seems difficult mostly to the students belonging to the general category. 

The recent cut-off has been indicated below that can give you a reference regarding the JEE Mains rank:

From the above table you can clearly get an idea regarding the level of difficulty that a general candidate faces. 

Work hard and score a good percentile score to get admission to one of the leading universities in the country.

My brother is a final year student at Thapar University so I think I can answer this question.

This is about the ECE department only.

• The faculty members of the ECE department are not good. Almost 99% of them lack basic knowledge about the subject.
• You have to do nothing at the labs apart from making files. After 4 years at the university and after spending 12 lakhs, the only thing you will learn at the labs is working on CRO.
• The lab assistants and other Ph.D. students who help at the labs during experiments know nothing more than which wires are to be connected at which points.
• Lastly, talking about the placements. Coding and communication skills are the two things based on which you will get placed. You do not need to have any hardcore knowledge of ECE subjects.

Hope this helps.

It’s not true that EE is the worst branch at Thapar. Electrical Engineering at Thapar is far better than any other college in India.

The Electrical Engineering Program at Thapar University is designed to prepare its graduates for continued learning and successful careers in industry, government, academia, and consulting.

Some merits of joining Thapar University -

• They help develop and excel in the field of Electrical Engineering with effective communication and management skills.
• At Thapar, you get good exposure along with a better understanding and knowledge about the subject.
• The faculties are cooperative at TU, who help you throughout your journey on TU.

Here are the recent placement highlights of TU.

Many of my friends are at Thapar University pursuing Electrical Engineering and I never heard any negative feedback about the program from them.

So, EE is not the worst at Thapar. However, there are possibilities that you might not find it as per your expectation but that doesn’t mean that the program is bad. 

If you are getting CS at IIIT which is a 4-year course then it is the ultimate choice. IIIT Allahabad is a renowned college. However, if you are comparing other branches or courses, a quick comparison is needed for that.

• If you want to pursue any other course other than CS then choose Thapar University.
• If you want to explore before settling for the Tech profession then you can opt for Thapar University.
• If you want to work in the tech industry and are 100% sure that you do not want to go for MBA then opt for IIIT Allahabad.
• If you want to do research then IIIT Allahabad is the potential choice.
• If you want to examine other branches as well and do not want to only be restricted to IT then Thapar University is the best place.
• If you are from Punjab then opt for Thapar University as it has enormous value in Punjab. You will feel like celebs there and four years will be worth living.

The table shows a brief overview of the institution:

IIIT A is not an IIT nor a parody of IIT it is a government college and is better than many NIT's even many new IIT's choose according to their preferences and go for it.

IIIT Delhi is clearly the best choice out of the three options especially if we are talking about CSE. Your preference order should be the following.

IIIT Delhi (Indraprastha) > Thapar University > LNMIIT Jaipur

Cutoff: (IIIT D > Thapar University)

The quality of the students also has an effect on how the college performs and also in its rankings. The cutoff for CSE at IIIT Delhi is around 200-225+. Thapar University admits students with JEE Mains marks more than 170 for students’ outside Punjab and 150 marks for students from Punjab. The cutoff indicates IIIT D offers a better peer group. 

Placements: 

• In terms of placements and internships, IIIT Delhi tops the list. The avg. package for the CSE branch in IIIT Delhi is around 15 lakhs per annum. 
• Overall avg package in Thapar University is around 8 lakhs per annum and for CSE Branch is around 10 lakhs per annum with a placement rate of 94 percent. 
• In LNMIIT Jaipur the avg packages are around 6 lakhs per annum. 

Thpar has a great coding culture. However, based on student crowd, placements, etc. the best option among the given choices is IIITD.
