Bachelor of Engineering [BE] (Computer Science and Engineering) From Thapar University, Patiala

For the CSE department, placements are the best in Thapar. There is one thing that is improving every year in the college and that is the average package and the highest package offered to the students of the CSE department. 

According to this year’s placement highlights the average CTC offered was 8 LPA and the highest CTC offered was 43 LPA. 

If you are a student of the CSE branch, make sure that you maintain your CGPA above 7 and have good command in JAVA, C++, etc. If you take care of these two things, you will get placed with a very good package. Around 95% of the students get placed in the department.

Having a few friends from both institutes I might be able to share some facts about both the institutes. Chemical Engineering at UICET is better than Chemical at Thapar University or CSE at CCET.

• UICET is a well-renowned university and has a reputed department. 
• They have brilliant placement records and a strong alumni base.
• Laboratories and faculty at UICET are better than those at Thapar.
• Course fees at UICET for chemical engineering are very less than that in Thapar University. 
• Thapar is no doubt a well-reputed university but as far as chemical engineering is concerned UICET is better.
• CCET is affiliated with PU located in sector-26 Chandigarh. It is well known for its diploma courses.
• However, UICET is any day better than CCET in all terms.

Your preference order should be Chemical Engineering at UICET> Chemical at Thapar University> CSE at CCET.

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.

A CSE degree from Thapar University doesn’t cost 25 lakhs. I have a friend from the institute who will soon graduate from the institute. He paid approximately 12 lakhs for four years. Hostel fees are not included. Even with annual increases and hostel fees, it will never reach 25 lakhs.

• CSE from Thapar is worthwhile because they have excellent placements and a welcoming environment. According to the 2020 placement highlights, more than 264 companies visited the placement drive and the highest CTC offered was 43 LPA.
• Also, there are a number of societies in Thapar where you can learn a variety of non-technical skills such as dance, singing, economics (ECON Club), event management, marketing, and design and various events take place throughout the year. This contributes to an individual's overall development.
• Apart from what is included in the syllabus, there are societies that cater to technical learning such as CCS, Microsoft Student Chapter (for CS students, anyone with an interest is welcome to join), IEEE, IETE (for ECE students), and many more for all branches.

All these factors make Thapar a good option for pursuing a CSE degree.

A few of my friends graduated from Thapar University and here’s what they have to say about it.

While discussing both the branches, they consider COE to be better than CSE because of several reasons. These include:

• COE is the oldest branch at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology.
• COE being a bit experienced has better placement records than CSE. 
• COE also has a strong alumni network.
• The subjects of COE are related to both software and hardware. Thus, students will learn about programming languages too.

If we see CSE it is a new branch started this year only and has no placement records. Also, little or no hardware knowledge is given to CSE students as compared to COE.

Yes, the huge batch size can be concerning. In case, if you compare the present statistics with the 2017 batch, you will notice the seat difference. 2017 saw a peak of only about 220 seats which undeniably helped students acquire multiple offers in the span of their course period even if they were not particularly exposed to the course academically. 

Comparably, as the number of seats has drastically spiked, recruiters are often seen to only choose a handful of students who have the best skill set. The number of people getting into dream companies remains the same as before but you will need to compete with more people to get selected. 

But if you think you can particularly ace Computer Science, then you can opt for Thapar University. There you will have the opportunity to sit for the interview sessions oftop firms, such as Microsoft and Amazon. According to the 2020 placement highlights, 264 companies visited the placement drive and the highest CTC offered was 43 LPA. 

Thapar University is a very reputed and popular engineering institute and it is one of the best institutes to pursue CS engineering. It is the best private university after BITS Pilani and is much ahead of other institutes like VIT and Manipal. It is even better than some of the NITs. 

• Faculty: The faculty of this college are great and have years of experience in teaching. They make the concepts look very easy for the students and also motivate them to do better in their academics. 
• Placements: The placements of this college are amazing too as the top package offered here was 44 lakhs per annum and the average package being offered here is around 7-8 lakhs per annum. 

Hence, Thapar University is among the best universities to pursue CS engineering as its faculty is top-notch and it offers very good placements to the students.
