College life at Thapar University is very vibrant and happening especially during the weekdays. The students are involved in a number of other activities apart from academics which improves the campus lids here.

Weekdays

Students wake up around 7 am and have breakfast.
Classes are conducted from 8–5 PM for 3 days of week and 8–1 PM for 2 days. So, Thapar University has a 5-day working week.
Post 5 pm, students can do whatever they want. Some go to the libraries while some play sports.

B.Tech from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology

Thapar University has a good reputation in the industry. According to the recent placement statistics, the average package offered was 6 LPA and the highest was 43 LPA for engineering.

But, there are very few placements in the core field of ECE, especially in India. So I would say, the current placement scenario is shifting from core to all the consultancies and management companies in Thapar hence the overall placement rate is good but the core jobs are very less.

The best factor about Thapar University is that it allows the students from any branch to appear for all kinds of interviews. This gives you a broad panel to select from and apply according to your skillset.
Some ECE students also manage to get placement in coding companies but they are few.
Consultancies prefer ECE students over other branches.

Some of the major recruiting companies visiting the placement drive are Directi, Bosch, Amazon, etc.
