My brother completed his CSE at Thapar University. He was also planning to take a drop initially. But after doing a lot of research and consulting others, he decided to go to Thapar University. It is a prestigious and well-reputed institution.
My brother felt he couldn’t handle the pressure of entrances and preparation any longer. Besides, the placements at Thapar University are at par with other top institutions like PEC and ISM Dhanbad. Even the education system and reputation of Thapar University are good.
According to my brother, if you have the courage and determination, you can take a drop and try for the IITs or BITS Pilani. But as far as Thapar University is concerned, it has a good infrastructure, good facilities, and amazing seniors. It is better than most NITs (barring a few) and also has a strong alumni network. Therefore, you won’t regret joining Thapar University for your CSE.
Thapar University is an excellent choice for CSE, with placements much exceeding expectations, but comparing it to IITs is simply not justified. IITs are India's premier universities, and Thapar is nowhere in comparison.
When it comes to NITs, Thapar is superior to the majority of them, with the exception of a few You can check the NIRF rankings to confirm the same. Thapar will also provide you with significantly greater exposure than most NITs.
It's up to you to make your decision. I dropped out of IITs because I couldn't afford to earn decent JEE advance scores. IITs are the finest place to be if you are a confident and hardworking young man.
