Thapar University was established in 1956. When it was a young institution, it ranked among the top 20 universities/colleges in India, and its students achieved great heights. Even today, many students from this University do immensely well and bring honor to it. 

This institution has a long-standing reputation and its alumni work in top MNCs as well as are part of the Indian Civil Services. Some of the top companies where its alumni are presently working include- Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, Twitter, Cisco, Uber, VMWare etc.

Even though Thapar University is still a brand name, newly opened institutions like DAIICT, BITS Goa, BITS Hyd, etc. are outperforming it significantly. The university has seen a significant decline in its glorious days in the past. This is because since 2008, due to its owner’s financial constraints, the crowd quality has declined and things have become more money-driven. There are few hikes every year. Unlike before, there are around 1300-1500 students on campus in the present times.

Thus, Thapar University has fallen down from its days of glory and significant steps need to be taken to revive its lost glory.

There are various reasons combined together that have resulted in deteriorating education opportunities and quality at BIT Mesra. Despite the huge amount of funds ranging into hundreds of crores, the institute has been receiving, there is no improvement in the situation at all.  Here are a few reasons why BIT Mesra has suffered a deteriorating situation over the past few years

• C.K. Birla Group is financially highly unstable and thus adds to the insecurity of the institute as a whole. 
• The government of Jharkhand has bad ties with BIT because the CM of Jharkhand was kicked out of BIT without a degree.
• The faculty is worse than VIT, Manipal, RVCE, etc. The poor quality of facilities is the major reason for its drastic downfall. Most of the professors are underqualified or not interested in teaching.
• The college promotes zero research culture and this has resulted in a gradual downfall. 
• There is a huge communication gap between the administration and students. Students should be given positions in administration and the administration should work on improving the facilities such as the incubation center for the betterment of the institute.
• The T n P Cell is also responsible for the fall in the placements. They have minimal connections with alumni and fail to attract better companies.
• The institute lacks International Collaborations for undergraduate internships and research. 

The students should work hard to bring about the above changes if they want to save their college from falling into the pit.
