There is a misconception that Thapar University accepts the donation and admits students through donation because it is a private University. I have a friend studying at Thapar University and it’s not true.
Thapar Institute of Engineering And Technology or commonly known as Thapar University is a private institute but it does not accept donations from students for their admission. There are several quotas through which one can get admission in TIET - Thapar Institute of Engineering And Technology. These include sports quota, Punjab state quota, etc.
They also maintain the admission process transparently. Hope this clears your doubts.
