Studied Chandigarh University (2018)

Colleges like CGC Landran and Thapar are the best and most reputed colleges in the country. Although, if comparing between both of them, according to my friends at CGC Landran, they have more opportunities and exposure. You could get and utilize it to improve your communication skills.

  • CGC Landran and the best academics conduct various competitions and events regularly so that a student can build up his/her personality and communication skills.
  • The literary events such as group discussions, debate competitions, guest lecturers, talent hunts, and many other events are held regularly.
  • Thapar University provides the best academics as the faculty in the institute is quite good but they don’t focus on communication skills.

Is IIIT Una better than Thapar Institute Patiala?

SD
Susmita Dasgupta Posted On : July 9th, 2021
BE CSE, Thapar University (2018)

Thapar institute has been established way before IIIT Una and over this period of time has created a great alumni network working at different positions worldwide. The faculty in Thapar Currently has over 20+ years of experience and is well known among the students.

On the other hand, IIIT Una is a newly established IIIT and the problem with this is that it still does not even have its own campus. IIIT Una is operating under NIT Hamirpur; this leads to the problem of no classes to fit all these students of both different Universities together. The classes get clashed, labs are not enough and faculty has a hard time coping up. This creates chaos on campus, which results in lower placement.

Here are the recent placement highlights at the institutes.

Institute

IIIT Una

Thapar University

Average CTC

4.5 LPA

7 LPA

Highest CTC

13.5 LPA

43 LPA

Major recruiters

Reliance, IBM, Yodlee

Wipro, TCS, Royal Bank of Scotland

So, going by all these factors, it is safe to say IIIT Una is not better than Thapar.

Is Aligarh Muslim University good enough for a B.Tech, compared to private universities like VIT, SRM, Manipal and Thapar?

Dhrishti Tuli Posted On : February 6th, 2024

AMU is better than VIT, SRM, Manipal and Thapar in many respects. AMU offers top notch facilities like these private colleges, but its fees are way less in comparison. 

Here are the goods and bads of joining AMU-

  1. AMU has very good placements for CS, Electronics and Electrical branches. 
  2. The cost of study and hostels is extremely pocket friendly. 
  3. The campus is great and very safe for girls.
  4. The faculty and infrastructure are both top notch. The CS and Electronics teachers have worked in the past for MNCs like Cisco and Microsoft.
  5. The library and book banks allow easy access to books for those who suffer from financial difficulties.
  6. The core branches (civil, mechanical and chemical) do not get core placement offers on campus. But one who knows his/her subjects well and has a good CPI, can easily acquire a good core job off campus. Core branches usually receive software related jobs offers during campus placements. 
  7. Some freshers might feel a cultural shock at AMU, but they’ll eventually adapt to their new environment. 

Aligarh Muslim University is a more reputable brand in comparison to private colleges, and its education is much more affordable. You must work hard and get a good rank to get admission into AMU.
