Should I apply for Thapar University and can I get loan of total fees of Thapar, can I repay that loan easily, and finally is it worth it?
Yes, it's quite possible to secure a loan for the total fees of Thapar University. Banks offer a variety of educational loans such as
- Upto 4 Lac-Without Any Guarantor
- 4–7 Lac- With a Guarantor( Parents)
- Above 7 Lac- With Proper Collateral
However, banks offer privileges like low-interest rates and Loan Without Collateral only to students of top institutions and sadly Thapar University is not yet among them. One of my friends at Thapar University got a loan from the Indian Bank. Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology is in their List-A, institutions and so he received 100% finance without Collateral up to Rs. 30 Lac.
As for the repayment of the loan, it directly depends on the type of package you land up with. Generally, the placemats here are great and with enough hard work, you will be able to get a good job and thus will be able to repay the loan soon.
How are the placement and job prospects of an M.Tech in ECE from Thapar University?
My sister did her M.E. in ECE from Thapar University in 2016. The placement and job prospects of Thapar University M.E. students depend on various factors. The most important of these is CGPA and dissertation. My sister’s dissertation revolved around music signal processing. If you get an 8 CGPA or above at the end of your 3rd semester, you will be eligible to sit for most of the placement interviews.
Your supervisor plays a great role in determining how well you write your dissertation. Choose your supervisor very wisely because your knowledge will ultimately weigh more than your credits. Choose an approachable and helpful supervisor. Having a good knowledge of your research area will allow you to perform well during the placement interviews and you will ultimately land a well paying job.
Core companies like Samsung, Freescale, Sandisk, among others allow both B.E. and M.E. students from Thapar University to sit for their placements. LPU, Sharda University, etc. have started visiting the campus with teaching job offers. You can also get placed for teaching in coaching centers like Akash during the placements. IT companies like Infosys also hire candidates from other branches like ECE. For other companies, they would explicitly state if they are not open for M.E. students.
Thus, the placement and job prospects for M.E. (ECE) students of Thapar University are quite good.

Which one is better, LNMIIT or Thapar University?
It is known to everyone that there is a prevalent competition between LNMIIT and Thapar University. But as some of my friends studied at Thapar University, I can say that it stands out for many reasons.
- The faculty of Thapar University is excellent when compared to other colleges in India.
- COE is considered the best department among others.
- They have amazing research facilities in every department, mechanical to electrical. They are at par with IITs and BITS.
- They have clubs and societies both technical and non-technical. The technical societies include Team Fateh, OWASP, CCS, IEEE SC, IIEE, etc.
- Thapar is one of the oldest colleges with very well maintained infrastructure.
- Placements are really good at Thapar.
- The only thing that is a bit much is the course fees.
| Categories | Thapar University |
| Course Fee | 13.23 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 24-26 LPA |
| Average CTC | 14-16 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Microsoft, IBM, Wipro, Infosys, etc. |
Thus, we can conclude that Thapar University is not only popular for its infrastructure and other related facilities but at the same time, the university is well-known for the decent placement offers that marks an edge for every student.
Which is better, Thapar University or IGDTUW?
Majority of students choose an MBA to get a good job. SMS, CUSAT satisfies your job requirements quite well. If you are hardworking and serious towards getting an offer, as a student of this institution and this department, your goal will be fulfilled. The highest package at SMS, CUSAT goes to around INR 20.14 LPA while the average package touches around 9.34 LPA. Some students of SMS, CUSAT got offers from Amazon for a salary of 14 LPA some time back. I would recommend you to not only focus on salary but also seek a job which is enjoyable, and offers you growth and learning opportunities.
Which is better: CSE IN NIT JALANDHAR OR CSE IN THAPAR UNIVERSITY?
Unlike the general opinion that NIT Jalandhar is better than Thapar University just because of its NIT title, I have a different opinion. I think Thapar University should get the recognition it deserves. Some points in favor of my opinion are:
-
The CSE was renewed by Trinity College, Dublin. The curriculum is way more advanced than that of NIT Jalandhar. The latter has an outdated syllabus which is not relevant to the industry.
-
Many technical societies help inculcate special skills.
-
Placements for CSE are excellent at Thapar University.
-
Coding culture is witnessing a spike over the few years. 1st year students are getting selected for GSOC
-
The research culture at Thapar University is better than that of NIT Jalandhar where no one is interested in writing research papers at all.
-
The infrastructure is also better at NIT Jalandhar.
-
The location of Thapar University makes it easily accessible to restaurants, cinemas and other facilities.
-
There are various coaching institutes in and around Thapar University for GRE/CAT/IAS/GMAT.
All these points clearly prove that Thapar University is better than NIT Jalandhar.
Why are the placements in Thapar University so high despite the bad reviews of many students studying at Thapar?
Thapar University has better placements than most private colleges and NITs. But the problem is, placements here directly depend on the grades of the students, and only the serious ones who work hard to build their profile bag the best packages.
Now the reviews of students are mixed because not everyone invests the same efforts and bags high packages. The people giving bad reviews are the ones who did not build their resumes well.
The best thing about Thapar University is the level of freedom you get to experience here. However, the increasing intake is slowly deteriorating the student quality so you might want to consider this before joining.
How is Thapar University for South Indians (Telugu states)?
Thapar University is one of the oldest and most reputed universities with a legacy of more than 60 years. It usually is a backup choice for those who couldn’t make it to IITs and NITs. Here are some snippets of the institute
- Faculty: The faculty is a big bag comprising both experienced as well as average professors. Most professors who speak Hindi, speak in English when asked to do so by the South Indians, so language isn’t a problem.
- Exposure: To be honest, a South Indian studying with a North Indian crowd is itself a new experience. Students are exposed to everything, be it sports, coding, or public speaking, through well-established societies.
- Language barrier: You might face a little language issue especially if you don’t understand Hindu at all. But after a few months, you will be able to understand the essential words and that’s more than enough to survive here.
- Sports: Thapar University is the best place for engineering aspirants who don’t want to relinquish their passion for sports.
- Transport: Transport isn’t a major issue in Punjab. You can get flights easily and also travel by train.
In all, Thapar University can be considered for engineering if you did not make it to IITs, NITs, BITS, DTU, and IIITs.
What is the future of Thapar University?
My brother is a recent graduate of Thapar University so I think I can answer this question.
- For the past few years, the university has only focused on enrolling more students and raising the fees. Talking about the COE branch, there are more than 350 students in a batch. This makes the student-teacher ratio really poor. For a class of 80 students, you will find one teacher in the lecture.
- If you ask about other branches such as CML or CAG, the university had to shut down the branches because they were not able to provide well-qualified teachers for these branches. So, the branches were shut down after two years, and the students were shifted to the COE department.
- Placements: Only a few companies offering a package of INR 10 LPA visit the campus. Most of the companies offer packages of INR 3-9 LPA. Only a few students are placed in companies like Amazon, Deshaw which offer packages of INR 20 LPA. The rest are placed in companies such as TCS and Infosys.
- The quality of education has been deteriorating in past years.
- The technical fests are not up to the mark. To be honest, there are no good technical events held.
Overall, it is going to be tough for the University to be ranked among the top 50 colleges in the next five years.
