Thapar University offers BE in Computer Engineering (COE) and Computer Science Engineering (CSE). According to some of my friends studying there, COE is a better course than CSE. So, I would be sharing some facts about COE, which might be helpful for you.
Categories | COE at Thapar University |
Course Fee | 13.23 lakh |
Highest CTC | 28 LPA |
Average CTC | 10-11 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, IBM, Wipro, etc. |
Having said that, the placement percentage at Thapar University usually ranges up to 100% for the COE department. That means, the placement offer is not a very big issue when considered separately. However, in terms of the package, the offer ranging from INR 14 LPA to INR 15 LPA is extremely difficult. Most essentially, you will have to master the technical domain.
Information regarding management quota fees is not disclosed by the institute. However, according to some of my friends who acquired admissions in the institute through it, the fees of management quota are around 2 lacs- 2.5 lacs.
The management quota fees are dependent on your negotiator, agent, consultant too. The above-mentioned amount does not include the hostel fees. It is at the time of college fees payment that the students are required to pay the hostel fees. You should consult with your seniors as they have a better knowledge regarding such matters. Although they would suggest that it would be a waste of money.
If you are interested in software, only then you should take admission at Bangalore. A few esteemed software companies such as Wipro, Infosys, etc. visit for the recruitment process.
The chemical branch at the institute is terrific. You should look into this course once as well. Your decision is concerned with building your career therefore make sure you opt for a course that would not make you have regrets later.
Your rank is good and you may get CS and IT branches. But getting another branch will be difficult for you at this rank. But you can get admission with this rank in any other government college. The closing rank for the first round at IET Lucknow is 15000 for the general category and 16000 for the spot round.
The cut-off for the CSE branch at IET Lucknow is as follows:
Categories | Cut off Rank |
General | 193-342 |
OBC | 357-495 |
ST | 2749-4252 |
SC | 9914 |
You can try the CSE branch at KNIT or MMM. You can try for other branches and after the first year, you can opt for a branch changing option.
COE is one of the best branches of Thapar University offering a plethora of job opportunities and exposure to students. Sparing a few professors, the department is blessed with some of the best faculty members.
The internship scenario specifically is great for this branch and one of my friends at Thapar University told me that 5 of his batchmates received internship offers from Microsoft IT. Other companies offering internship offers included Expedia, Snapdeal, Royal Bank of Scotland, ARM, etc. The students received stipends in the range of 20-40k per month. Most of these companies offer PPOs to their students.
Additionally, the research internships are great. One of my friends had the opportunity to intern at IIT Roorkee after his 2nd year. Many others got selected at IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, Kanpur, Guwahati, Ropar, Gandhinagar, Mandi, etc. The reputation of Thapar University is such that it plays a very positive role in the selection of students.
Overall, the brand value of Thapar University makes it possible for big companies to offer lucrative packages and roles.
A cousin of mine is studying at IIIT Vadodara. According to him, this is what you will get at IIIT Vadodara, How is its campus, activities, infrastructure and placement scenario, etc.

It’s best to compare both the branches based on the most common aspects such as
IIT Delhi Electrical Engineering offers slightly more opportunities in terms of peer quality and placements than the other.
IIT Hyderabad has better opening JEE ranks than other IITs and despite being new seems more promising. IIT Hyderabad CSE is a well-regarded branch and the opportunities offered are excellent. Although the college is located far from the city, it is well connected with road and rail transport within the city. Here are a few highlights of IIT Hyderabad CSE.
It is better to talk to the students of the aforementioned institutes and gather information. You can then make a decision based on the collected data and facts.
The Instrumentation and Control Engineering branch at MIT Manipal is a multifaceted branch dealing with various subjects related to Electrical, Electronics, and mechanical. Students are taught about sensors, transducers, electrical and mechanical instruments, microcontrollers, control systems, process automation, etc.
The branch is good and its labs are equipped with modern instruments. The faculty is decent and the placement scenario seems very promising.
One of my friends recently completed his BTech in instrumentation and control and gave me an active idea of the placement scenario of the branch. Out of the entire batch around 95% of students got placed. The highest package stood at INR 20 LPA and the average stood at INR 10 LPA while the lowest was recorded at INR 5 LPA. The star recruiters included Mercedes, Flipkart, Amazon, and Nvidia among many others.
Overall, this branch is great if you are interested in this field.
With your rank, it might be not possible to get CSE at the Heritage Institute of Technology. WBJEE Cut off for 2021 closed at 3198 for All-India Quota. Except for CSE, you can get any other branch at HIT or you can wait for further rounds.
Before opting for Heritage, you must know that the fee structure is quite high at the institute. Even if you are financially stable, it might not be a good idea to go there. The academic curriculum is outdated and the environment is not appropriate for engineering.
You will see rich kids joining the college, fashion parades, luxurious cars and etc. There is nothing as such engineering at HIT but only fun. This lavishness is all thriving in the city where there are majorly people who are striving for a job being in their thirties only.
One of my friends completed his BTech from BIT Mesra, and I got to know a little bit about the institute through him. The institute has a decent placement record. Almost 92% of students get placement offers with an average CTC of 6 LPA.
Placement Statistics:
A brief highlight about the placement of the IT branch at BIT Mesra is as follows.
Average CTC |
12 LPA |
Highest CTC |
49.76 LPA |
Top Recruiters |
Microsoft, Amazon, Google |
Job Roles |
Software Engineer |
My friend also had a few seniors who didn’t prepare at all for placement but got placement offers anyway from the IT branch.
