The placements in Thapar University are better than almost all the NITs, barring the top 4 or 5 NITs. Like the usual trend, CSE placements are the best in Thapar. For other branches, placements at Thapar and all the other Engineering colleges have suffered immensely in the past few years. This is because the PSUs formed a large chunk of recruiters for core engineering branches like Civil, Mechanical, etc, and they are now recruiting via GATE. This is a setback for Thapar University and other Engineering Colleges. 

For the CSE branch, placements are really good. Even the Mechanical branch has good placements. It is a top branch at Thapar University. EIE comes third in terms of placements. The placements for Electrical and ECE are not so good. But ECE, Electrical, and the other remaining branches get plenty of offers from IT companies that are mass recruiters and offer non-core jobs to all the branches.

Choose Thapar University if money is not a concern for you as it has decent placements. However, if there are financial constraints, even an average NIT is not a bad option.
