Thapar University B.Tech Review By Girik Garg

My overall experience at this institution has been good. The placements of this college are good, and many reputed firms visit the campus, The college has a strong alumnus network, which helps in networking opportunities. The faculty at this college is also very dedicated to the students. The infrastructure is top-notch and one of the best in the country. The only downside I can think about is the high fees of the college, so if someone can look for a better alternative at lower fees, I would recommend them to join that college.

The Bachelor of Engineering course at Thapar University is open to those students who have minimum 60% in PCM / PCB at class 12 levels. The admission is through two modes: JEE percentile and class 12 grades. The students are also required to submit a non-ragging and anti-alcohol affidavit during the time of admission. The detailed criteria for admission can be found on the Thapar University's website, as the percentile required getting admissions changes every year.

The faculty members in the university are very good at their subject. Many of them hold Ph.D from reputed institutions like IITs or foreign universities. Different teachers have different style of teaching, some prefer to use the board but mostly teachers teach with the help of presentations. The faculty is also keen about working with the students on projects or research papers apart from the curriculum. Faculty members are always ready to address the doubts of the students. Faculty members also hold regular tutorial sessions to help students with the numerical examples of subjects.

Thapar University has one of the best infrastructures in the country. The learning area, classrooms, halls etc are all newly constructed with the best of amenities like AC, projectors, LCDs, comfortable chairs, etc. The laboratories in the university are also well maintained and have all the necessary tools and instruments for demonstration. Apart from these, there are facilities like swimming pool, volleyball ground, cricket ground, etc. for sports.

The campus life at Thapar is quite enjoyable. There are lots of clubs and societies at Thapar, and one can join these clubs according to their interests like music, dance, arts, robotics, photography, coding, etc. The annual fest 'Saturnalia' held at Thapar is a grand fest, in which famous Bollywood singers or other famous personalities are usually invited. Many big firms sponsor the fest. The crowd at Thapar is mix of Punjabi Folks and people from other parts of the country, but overall there are no problems as such.
