I would advise choosing LPU because of the following reasons:
A B.Tech degree from Thapar University holds a more significant value than LPU as it has a rich legacy owing to its early establishment while LPU is a relatively new university.
I believe that choosing Thapar University over LPU will be a wise decision indeed.

Thapar University is one of the oldest institutes in Punjab with a strong alumni network. One of the alumni is a professor at Virginia Tech, the alumni are CEO of various companies. Compared to that, LPU is a new institute yet created a mark in a very short period of time. Both the institutes are reputed and have their own perks. You should select the institute that offers a better program for your branch of choice.
