Why do people say that the fees at Thapar University are so high when most other private colleges have higher fees?
Thapar University is one of the oldest universities that dates back to 1956. It’s not logical to compare it with the newly established private colleges as it’s better than them in terms of literally everything be it academics, placements, and overall student development.
However, it has been receiving criticism recently because of its increasing fees. The reason this has become a problem is the high intake of students with average scores who are able to afford the high fees. The quality of the crowd is being compromised by charging high fees and is affecting the academic ambiance to a great extent. This is exactly why it’s being criticized for high fees even though most private colleges have high fees.
Most students with good scores consider Thapar University their last option when they aren’t able to make it to IITs and NITs.
Which is better for computer science - Thapar or NIT Delhi?
I have friends in other Thapar and NIT Delhi so I am the right person to answer your question. Based on their experiences, these are the key points of differences I derived
- NIT Delhi has a better location because it is in Delhi.
- Thapar has a better faculty pool and lab facilities than both NIT Delhi and NSIT.
- Thapar also has an active research culture so if you are a research enthusiast, Thapar is a better option for you.
- In terms of tag and brand name, NIT Delhi has the upper hand. Thapar University also has a good reputation but mainly in North India.
- NIT Delhi charges much less fees than DTU and NSIT so it’s the clear winner in this aspect.
- Infrastructure-wise, Thapar University tends to serve better.
Overall, it's a matter of preferences!
I got 141 marks in Thapar University's alloted mechatronics branch. Is there good placement in Thapar?
Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology offers a B.E. in Mechatronics Engineering. The program is a fusion of electrical, electronics, and mechanical engineering. This course started only a few years back. I have a few friends who graduated from this branch recently and according to them, placement offers for this branch are not that great.
As a student of Mechatronics, you will be allowed to sit for both Mechanical and Electronics companies. Although, only a few students from this branch get placed. Also, students who got placement were either recruited by mass-recruiters or some IT companies. The average package offered for the students of this branch is around 4 LPA.
How is Computer Engineering at Thapar University different from the usual CSE courses in other institutes?
A few of my friends have pursued CSE from various universities and institutes. If looked into their experiences, I will tell you to go to Thapar University.

- The department is ISO certified and NBA accredited. The department has an innovation lab with high-performance computer technology.
- Many sponsored research projects from the MHRD, DST, UGC, AICTE, TCS, and others are being carried out by the department.
- Google, Microsoft, DeShaw, Adobe, Amazon, Yahoo, Samsung, NVidia, and a long list of other dream firms are top recruiters who visit the campus every year for placement drives.
As a result, Thapar is without a doubt the best option for computer engineering.

How is the Wi-Fi at Thapar University?
My friend studies at Thapar University and absolutely loves the internet speed there amongst other merits. Both the campus and hostels have Wi-Fi connectivity. The internet access speed has gotten better over the years. Till 2017, there was a limit to use only 1 GB in a day, but now there's no limit upon the usage.
If you are planning to stay at the hostel, you can use the Access point named 'EACCESS'. It gives a speed range between 1.1-1.4 MBPS. The academic block, library, and cafeteria work under the access name ‘TU’ and it varies from 600 kbps to 1.2 Mbps.
The fastest Internet is available at the Computer Center with a whopping speed of 500 Mbps. The Library has a LAN cable and its speed is around 100 Mbps.
Also, during exams, social networking sites like Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, etc are banned. But you can access that through proxies and other ways of access.
Which one is preferred for the electronics branch, Thapar University or Manipal main campus?
Thapar University was once a very prestigious and highly regarded institute. But now it has lost its charm and its quality of education is very low now. The main reason for the same is an increase in the intake of average students just for the sake of earning money. Dont believe the NIRF rankings as they are manipulated and misleading.
One of my friends recently chose Manipal University because the quality of the crowd is much better than Thapar University. The quality of the crowd is deteriorating because of increasing cutoffs and the huge reservation for Punjab residents. Manipal University cutoffs on the other hand are decreasing so it's able to maintain the quality of the crowd better.
So, Manipal Unversity is a preferable choice for the electronics branch.
How good is the Thapar university cafeteria?
One of my friends graduated from Thapar University. According to him, the cafeteria at Thapar University is amazing. It is located near the academic block.
- The cafeteria is very large with a variety of tasty food items and juices.
- The food quality is also good and it is affordable to students.
- Students enjoy the cafeteria, as it is a good place to hang out with friends as well.
- Outside the cafeteria, you have an Amul booth, juice corner, and shakes available.
- Almost everything is served at Thapar University like rajma rice, Chole Bhature, Noodles, spring rolls, dal makhani, roti, etc.
The average overall rating of the cafeteria at Thapar University would be 4 out of 5 in all categories like Cleanliness or Hygiene, Taste, Varieties available and Price range. You can hang out with your peers at the cafeteria and have fun. You can also make new friends.
Can I get admission in Thapar University through donation?
Thapar University does not intake students through donations. Unlike many other private engineering colleges, it does not have fee slabs. All its students are given admission based on their respective JEE Mains score, and all of them have to pay the same fee.
