Thapar University NMAT cutoff 2023 (Out): Check NMAT Round Wise Cutoffs

One of my friends is a student at Thapar University, and here are some of the things that I heard from him. This is subjective and hence may vary from one person to another.

• The official time for entry at the boys' hostel is 10 pm. However, if you maintain a good relationship with the security guard at the hostel gate, you can roam around the campus at any time of the night.
• The COS road is the most preferred one for going to the hostels. The reason is unknown though.
• After college, hanging around nearby momo stalls or any other stalls is better than hanging around at the college canteen.
• Irrespective of how much distance you travel, the fare for the rickshaw/ e-rickshaw remains the same which is Rs. 10.
• If there is a Lab class right after the lunch break, then you still have got 10 extra minutes to chill.
• The lab teacher may appoint ME students for evaluation so you should always be nice to the ME students.
• Some teachers are known for detaining students even in their 7th semester, never mess with them.

These are some of the things that you should keep in mind.

ECE at Thapar University is more Hardware orientated. You may find yourself dealing with semiconductors for about 3 to 3.5 years. In addition to this, will be the onslaught of programming languages and a little portion of database and networking. 

In case you opt for the Computer Science program, you'll notice that it is purely software-oriented and has a lot more on programming languages, architectures, databases,, and networking.

ECE is the 2nd best option after CSE as its cut-off is just below it. This year, cut off score for ECE is as listed below:

As for placements, some well-known companies which visit for recruitment, are Texas Instruments, Whirlpool India, TCS, HP, Larsen and Toubro, ST Electronics, Philips, Mu Electronics India, and others. The placement rate is an amazing 99% for most of the departments. The highest package offered this year is 43 LPA and a total of 970 students got placed.

One of my friends is currently pursuing his Electronics and Computer Engineering at Thapar Institute of engineering technology, Patiala. Here are some snippets of his experience on campus so far. 

• The institute has a 300-acre campus of lush green. So, surviving here won't be an issue.
• The institute organizes great workshops such as Hydraulics, Web Development, and Circuit Building, etc. He said after one and a half months, he realized that the institute offers lots of opportunities, and grabbing them is what you have to do.
• The hostels are well-maintained and the food is good enough.
• Hostels have good Wi-Fi speeds ranging from 1.2 - 3 Mbps sometimes.
• Professors are quite cooperative and they employ new techniques for teaching.
• There is a well-designed playing area. There is a badminton court, tennis court, synthetic track, etc. 
• Juju’s Cafe, Pizza Nation, are some of the popular hangout places on campus.
• The rules and regulations are strict when it comes to discipline. Students are not allowed to leave campus after 7 pm.

Hope this gives you an idea of what to expect at Thapar University.
