TIET Cutoff 2025: Check Category-wise and Round-wise Cutoff

Admission to Thapar University depends not only on your JEE Main score but also on your board percentage. On average, you should score at least 60% Aggregate of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in the 12th class for General Candidates. There is a relaxation of 5% for students belonging to reserved categories like SC or ST. As far as the JEE Marks are considered, 

• Students belonging to the general category should score marks above 72 - 75 marks in JEE Mains.
• Students belonging to the SC or ST categories should score above 48 - 50 in JEE Mains
• Rank-wise,  the general category JEE Main cutoff is 1528 - 125422 rank.

Students can get admission into Thapar University if they satisfy the above criteria. 

Here is the suggested percentile for the CSE branch of Thapar University 

General Category 

• Being the main branch, the score generally goes to 98.66 for the COSE branch and remains similar in the subsequent rounds. 
• The percentile required for COE and COSE branches is 96.66. 
• The percentile cutoff for COBS is around 97.33.

Cut Off For ST, SC, And PHO (Outside Punjab)

• If you are under the ST category then for the COE branch 72-75 percentile, for the COBS branch 75 to 80 percentile, and for the ENC branch 78 to 79 percentile and 86 PCM percentile for MEE. 
• If you are under the SC category then for the COE branch 82 to 83 PCM percentile, for the COBS branch at least 89 percentile, and for the ENC branch 79 percentile. 70 PCM percentile for MEE. You need to have 70 to 80 percentile in your JEE Mains. 
• If you are under the PHO category then for the COE branch you need to have 77 to 80 percentile, for the COSE branch 78 to 85 percentile, and for the COPC branch 92 to 94 percentile.

Thapar University Cutoff (Punjab Students)

• If you are from Punjab then for COPC you need to have a 96.33 percentile.
• For COSE and COBS, you need to have 95 percentile 
• For the COE branch, you will need the 92 percentile. 

If there is a tie between two students then the seats are allotted on the basis of JEE score.

The cutoff for computer science in Thapar has seen a fall in figures. This is because of the decrease in the fame of this college. There are so many better and popular institutes that people usually don’t consider Thapar as their first choice.

Even big companies prefer students from IITs, BITS or DTU. Students themselves opt for IIT because of its tag. They know the IIT tag will always be a boon for them.

The general decrease in its popularity has resulted in lower cutoffs and the situation seems to be worsening over the years to come.

To get admission to the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET) as an SC candidate from outside Punjab, you will need to meet the following requirements:

• You should have a valid JEE Main score or a valid score in the Thapar Entrance Exam (TEET) conducted by the university.
• The cutoff score for admission varies each year, depending on factors such as the number of applicants, the difficulty level of the entrance exam, and the availability of seats.
• As an SC candidate, you will be eligible for a relaxation of 5% in the minimum qualifying marks for admission.
• In addition to the entrance exam score, your academic performance in Class 12th will also be considered.
• The minimum eligibility criteria for admission to the CSE program at TIET is 60% marks in Class 12th with Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry/Biotechnology/Biology/Technical Vocational subjects.

Meeting the minimum eligibility criteria does not guarantee admission, as the final selection will depend on the availability of seats and your performance in the entrance exam and other selection rounds (if any).

You cannot determine the quality of intake at any university just by their JEE Main ranks because one test is not enough to judge one’s performance. It’s not like a student with a high rank is better than a student with a low rank. You will be surprised to know that many times students with 150+ JEE Mains end up with a CGPA of less than 6 while students with less than 100 JEE Score are in the top 5 percent. Judging the students based on a number of criteria here is my opinion

• Thapar University has a better student crowd than most engineering colleges.
• Ragging is not tolerated here and there is a very good harmony between seniors and juniors 
• The students here aren’t much involved in alcohol unlike most engineering colleges these days.
• There is a strong bond between the peers and the students are like a close-knit community.

In reality, it’s the ambiance and culture of the campus that determines the quality of the crowd it attracts. For instance, a top ranker may come to a bad college and lose all his motivation while a low ranker might come to a college with a healthy academic environment and might get motivated for the better.

So, I don’t believe that the student quality at Thapar University is any less than other engineering colleges.

For 2022, Thapar University cutoff of B.Tech CSE was 98.67 (general category). For general category students with no reservation, it will be difficult to get CSE at Thapar with 88.3 percentile. But if you are a student of Panjab domicile, you can get admission through the home-state quota.
