Having friends from Thapar University and reading some online reviews about it, I gathered some facts about the college. Let me share what I learned about their placements and the salary packages offered. This information might help you answer your question.

• The highest package offered for electrical engineering was 8 lakhs from the Vedanta Group. 
• But few students were selected for an internship in Procter and Gamble which offered 16 lakhs depending on the performance in the internship.

Statistics for Electrical Engineering –

Placements for Electrical Engineering, Electronics (Instrumentation and Control) Engineering, and Electronics and Computer Engineering is more than 90%. The average salary package ranges from 5 to 6 LPA.

Check the following points to understand a basic difference between both hostels:

• Internet facility: In terms of Wi-fi or internet connectivity, TIET - Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology or Thapar University, both C and J hostels are equal. 
• Food: In terms of food, Thapar University Hostel J is far better than Hostel C.
• Sports: In terms of sports, both Thapar University hostels C and J hostels have their own advantages. Hostel C of Thapar University has a playground, but Hostel J has a badminton court. But if you are a sports enthusiast then Hostel C of Thapar University would be better for you.

Therefore, both Hostel C and J of Thapar University are good. Try to live in every hostel for different years of your student life. As each of them will give you different experiences each year.

Harcourt Butler Technical University and Thapar University both are reputed. The choice depends on your preferred branch. The following points will help you to make your choice.

• HBTU is famous for its CSE and Chemical Engineering, whereas Thapar is well-known for its Mechanical Engineering.
• The main concern with Thapar University is the high course fee.

In terms of placements, both institutes are almost equal. The details are below.

Overall, as mentioned above, both the institutes are similar. There is a wide range of branches in both the institutes to study. After analyzing all the factors, you can choose the best-suited course for yourself. If you do not have any inclination towards a particular branch, it is better to opt for HBTU Kanpur as the fee is low and the return on investment is high.

My friend studies at Thapar University and absolutely loves the internet speed there amongst other merits. Both the campus and hostels have Wi-Fi connectivity. The internet access speed has gotten better over the years. Till 2017, there was a limit to use only 1 GB in a day, but now there's no limit upon the usage.

If you are planning to stay at the hostel, you can use the Access point named 'EACCESS'. It gives a speed range between 1.1-1.4 MBPS. The academic block, library, and cafeteria work under the access name ‘TU’ and it varies from 600 kbps to 1.2 Mbps.

The fastest Internet is available at the Computer Center with a whopping speed of 500 Mbps. The Library has a LAN cable and its speed is around 100 Mbps. 

Also, during exams, social networking sites like Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, etc are banned. But you can access that through proxies and other ways of access.

I have a cousin studying at TIET (Thapar Institute of Engineering And Technology). He is in his first year. According to him, the best professor in TIET is Dr. Anoop Kumar. 

Professor Anoop Kumar teaches Energy and Environment at Thapar University. He is quite skilled in his subject. The fact that he teaches EVS in an engineering college yet is still one of the favorites among students, speaks volumes. 

My cousin also talks about Dr. Satish Kumar Sharma, Dr. Isha Dhiman, Dr. Maneek Kumar, Dr. Maninder Singh, Dr. Sanjay Sharma. 

Thapar University has many professors who are professional, skilled, and knowledgeable in their respective fields. But Dr. Anoop Kumar is one of the best among them.

The faculty of the ECE department at Thapar University is extremely good. My answer is based upon my cousin’s experience at the University. 

The faculty to student ratio of the university is quite good. The university has skilled and highly educated and experienced faculty members. Most of the faculty members are well-versed in their Respective Fields.

You can refer to the table mentioned below for the placement statistics of the University:

Students enrolled in core field branches and those who wish to get placed in the IT industry have many opportunities available at the University. 

You will be offered many resources along with the guidance of faculty members for research purposes. Several Research papers have been published by the students and professors of Thapar University in past. 

The laboratories of the university have advanced equipment and instruments. The overall atmosphere of research at the university is pretty good. Many workshops, conferences, and seminars are also held at the university which can prove to be advantageous to the students. 

Having a friend who graduated from Thapar University and by researching online reviews here’s what I got to know. The mechanical branch is much better than the new branches.

• Thapar is a private university and there are certain policies they prepare to make money. 
• These fields are kept only to earn enough profits as they charge 10,000 in addition to it. 
• There are more expenses than usual in these kinds of streams. 
• There are also fewer job opportunities.
• My friend shifted to computer engineering from mechanical in his second year.

So before selecting the stream, give all parameters a thought and make a wise decision. It is suggested that you go for Computer Science rather than Mechanical. There are more opportunities in this field due to the constant demand of CSE graduates by corporate houses and organizations.

BITS Pilani Goa campus is obviously a much bigger brand than Thapar University. So you will definitely get better placement opportunities at the BITS Pilani Goa campus rather than Thapar University.

Take a look at some of the statistics of Thapar University for the year 2019-20.

BITS Pilani does not release an official placement report. However, according to my friends at the institute, the average CTC offered at the institute is 5 LPA and the highest CTC offered is INR 1.4 crores.

Thapar University is better than Galgotias University for studying. Here in the following table, you will get basic information about both universities:

• Galgotias University was established later than Thapar University. Thapar University also has a name in industries that will help you in placement. The education quality and level of Galgotias University are not better when compared to Thapar University. 
• Thapar University has a legacy of over 60 years. It has a highly successful alumni base. The faculty base for Civil Engineering at Thapar is one of the best. A lot of companies come for campus placement at Thapar. 

If you are genuinely interested in CS then go for Galgotias. However, if you make a comparison between Galgotias University and Thapar University, then the latter is a better option than the former in terms of quality of education, environment, and placement.
