Thapar institute has been established way before IIIT Una and over this period of time has created a great alumni network working at different positions worldwide. The faculty in Thapar Currently has over 20+ years of experience and is well known among the students.
On the other hand, IIIT Una is a newly established IIIT and the problem with this is that it still does not even have its own campus. IIIT Una is operating under NIT Hamirpur; this leads to the problem of no classes to fit all these students of both different Universities together. The classes get clashed, labs are not enough and faculty has a hard time coping up. This creates chaos on campus, which results in lower placement.
Here are the recent placement highlights at the institutes.

So, going by all these factors, it is safe to say IIIT Una is not better than Thapar.
