Thapar University is better than Manipal Jaipur. It is an old technological institute with a better industry presence. The learning resources and facilities offered by the institute are great. If you are getting your desired branch at Thapar, you should definitely choose it. Thapar University placements 2022 report shows the average CTC offered to the students is around INR 10.97 LPA. The highest CTC offered was INR 40 LPA.
Which is better, CSE at Thapar, CSE at IIITM Gwalior, or CSE at VIT?
Why do they teach unrelated subjects in the CSE stream at Thapar University?
The computer science branch of Thapar University is among the best in the country. The curriculum has been designed after several discussions among the students and the feedback given by them. As a software engineer, you don't always need to do coding or algorithms for the IT industry or related fields. You can be given the task of designing the codes for let's say chemical industry or you may need to work on software that involves the mechanics of machines. For that, you should have complete knowledge regarding that particular one that can make you stand among others.
For your overall holistic development, the course curriculum includes various subjects apart from your field that can help you to develop various required skills.
Which institution is better for CS: Thapar University, LNMIIT, or Nirma University?
One of my friends studied at LNMIIT, so I might be able to provide you some information about it.
CS at Thapar is combined with other courses, some of which are worthy while others are not. You have to choose the course which you are interested in. Depending on that you can opt for the college, be it Thapar or LNMIIT.
The infrastructure and facilities at LNMIIT are really good. Faculty members are enthusiastic about both academics and extracurriculars. They will guide you through every step. LNMIIT has a great coding culture. Also, you will have cooperative seniors.
| Categories | LNMIIT | Thapar | Nirma |
| Course Fee | 12.36 lakhs | 13.23 lakhs | 7.24 lakhs |
| Highest CTC | 22 LPA | 8-10 LPA | 12-16 LPA |
| Average CTC | 11 LPA | 6 LPA | 7-9 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | TCS, CTS, Accenture, Capgemini, etc. | ZS Associates, Byju’s, TCS, ITC, etc. | Bosch, Havells, Honeywell, JP Morgan, etc. |
I am not well aware of Thapar, I can only say that the campus and course curriculum is more or less similar to LNMIIT, unlike Nirma which can be a bit different. So finally I will suggest you go for LNMIIT. Make Thapar your second choice as the quality of the branch varies. Lastly opt for Nirma if both do not work out.
My JEE Mains score is 127. Can I get Computer Science at Thapar University at spot counseling?

Thapar offers a branch change option. If you maintain a good academic record in the first year, you can apply to change your branch.
What should be preferred, CS at Thapar Patiala or Electrical Engineering at PEC Chandigarh?
As these are two distinct branches of engineering, you should pursue a topic that piques your interest.
- CS is primarily concerned with software, whereas EE is more concerned with hardware.
- Fees may be high, but consider it an investment because if you learn and perform well, your first year's salary will pay for four years of education and beyond.
- However, listen to your heart and natural instincts.
- A CS graduate has more demand than an Electrical graduate. This is due to the rapid and constant growth of the corporate world.
- Electrical Engineering students can also sit for placements of both core and IT firms.

It all depends on what you're interested in. If you are interested in CS, then choose Thapar (if fees are not an issue) or electrical in PEC Chandigarh.
