Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology - [Thapar University], Patiala - Course & Fees Details

Here are the details on the academic fees charged from B.Tech students at Thapar University. You may visit their official website to find details on their hostel charges. 

Thapar University charges between Rs. 1,95,300 to Rs. 2,38,600 per semester from its B.Tech students, depending on their respective specializations. This fee includes Rs. 68,000 in the form of development fee and other charges. Besides that, the university charges Rs. 23,000 as a one-time fee during admissions. 

Thapar University offers merit-based scholarships to its students, which can be availed during their first year, and may continue in the subsequent years of their degrees.

In all honesty, the answer to both these questions is No. 

Initially, this setup was present in the main campus itself as School of Behavioral Studies. Later on, it was shifted to Dera Bassi as LMTSOM. The Patiala campus offers much more facilities and exposure to its students.

Moreover, the Patiala campus is located in the heart of Patiala city. On the other hand, the Dera Bassi campus is located in the middle of a village, that too in a secluded area. The fee structure is almost similar at both the campuses. It mainly depends on the course. Moreover, fee is not the primary concern in this case. There are other more important factors that you must not overlook. 

Personally, I wouldn’t recommend the Dera Bassi campus of Thapar University.

As mentioned in the answers before mine, it depends mainly on how well you utilize these years. Engineering is a tiring course because of the constant pressure from tests, assignments, projects, and finally, the end sem exams.

Electronics is a good branch at Thapar University. The projects, assignments, classroom lectures and lab sessions involved in it are industry oriented and practical in nature. The Chemical Engineering curriculum is also quite relatable as many of the topics are touched upon during +1 and +2. 

Moreover, the Chemical department hosts student exchange programs. Through that, the students go for a 5-8 week long training to countries like Russia, Bulgaria and China. Over there, they are engaged in designing research papers, and attending summits/conferences related to the Chemical industry. The student exchange program is an excellent opportunity to grab long term internships with foreign institutes, and to work on great projects. 

Overall, Thapar University is worth the high fees. If you get a chance to study at Thapar, make the most of it.
