Which college should be preferred between Thapar University and SRM, Chennai?

The comparison between Thapar and SRM is definitely not up to the mark because Thapar is better than SRM. Having friends studying in both these colleges, I can assure you to confidently choose Thapar over SRM.

• Being a private college SRM had never paid attention to the quality education or any other criteria which a better college should do. It's the same as all other private colleges in India.
• Thapar should be preferred. Be it faculty, environment, infrastructure, education, and placements, Thapar is much better.

It basically depends on the student as comparing the Institute won't end up anywhere. A student should focus on the right career and college from the very beginning and should prepare accordingly. According to the student's priorities and choice of place, the Institute can be selected. But among these two, Thapar excels over SRM.
