TIET Patiala Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

Thapar is one of the popular and oldest universities. Many facilities are provided to students such as AC labs with required instruments, Wi-Fi in every building, canteen and hostel. AC is available in some classrooms as well. Thapar is a good platform for co-curricular activities. Students can join societies of their interest such as literary, paintings, sports, dance or music. The hostel is too good, and the food is delivered by Sodexo which is a well-known private company.

The faculty are good. Good networking is present in Thapar. All the teachers have good knowledge and deliver their knowledge to students in a proper way with the use of a whiteboard or PPTs. The course curriculum is updated every year according to new technologies. New technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, natural language processing are part of the curriculum. In a class, nearly 70-80 students are present.

The placements are good in Thapar. 90% of the students are placed in 2018 batch. The highest package offered was 32 lacs per annum, offered by De Shaw. Many prestigious companies visit the college every year like Microsoft, Amazon, Adobe, De Shaw, JP Morgan, Walmart Labs, SanDisk, Samsung, Delloite and many more. JP Morgan visited 3 times to hire for different profiles. A well-furnished placement cell is there, which is very useful for students.

Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology has a huge campus and has great infrastructure. It provides a top class sports field, synthetic tracks, swimming pool, wooden badminton court, synthetic tennis and squash courts. Apart from that, every hostel has multiple badminton courts and table tennis tables of its own. There is no lack of the latest equipment in any department, and a large sum is invested in the academic field.

The faculty members in CSE department is a lot better than the other departments and has a faculty ranging from good to great. Mechanical department and chemical departments also happen to have a good faculty. However, the faculty in ECE and electrical is known to trouble its students and have only a handful good teachers. The curriculum provides a good knowledge to the students when it comes to the industrial world. The college focus on practical knowledge.

One thing that Thapar Institute boasts about is its placement scenario. It is to be noted that the placements in computer science engineering are the best followed by ECE and mechanical. The packages that students receive usually go as high as 35 LPA and as low as 3.5 LPA (usually from mass recruiters) while average package lies around 6-8 LPA. Reputed companies like DEshaw, Microsoft, Amazon, JP Morgan, Schneider electrical, Tata Motors, Walmart, Sandisk and plenty others visit the campus.

Thapar has an excellent infrastructure. All labs are very good and have all the equipments that are required. The hostels are very good. The classrooms and labs are air conditioned. Smart boards are used for teaching. The latest technology is used. Quality of food in canteen is very good. I did'nt face any infrastructure related issue during my tenure till now at the college.

The teachers have a lot of information. Some of teachers are from IIT's as well. Smart boards are used for teaching purposes. Around 215-220 students are there in a lecture. Teachers are highly qualified and helpful. Teaching of smartboards provide a better understanding of the course.

The placements in the college were very good. 44 Lacs was the highest package offered. Average package went to 6-7 Lacs. Microsoft, vipro, JP morgan and many other good companies visited Thapar. Many were given paid internship as well. All in all the placements were very well.

Thapar University has the best infrastructure among all college in north India. The campus is spread over 250 acres which include hostels, academic block, library, sports arena, general complex, meditation centre, health centre and many more interesting spots.

Every college has some good and bad faculty members. But in Thapar, you can say faculty members are average. There are many experienced teachers and have good knowledge. If we talk about the course curriculum, every branch has 8 semesters. The summer training and one internship are mandatory for every student.

Placements at Thapar University are quite good. But it's not relevant if we consider fee as a contributing factor. As I have seen the data of placements of the year 2019, the total placement offers were almost 1250, and nearly 325 organisation visited the campus for placements. From being an electrical background, the average salary package offered is around 4 LPA.

Facilities provided in our college have surprised me. I haven't seen such kind of labs in my life. The hostel mess in Thapar is excellent, especially the breakfast served. Even though many of my friends and I don't eat breakfast most of the times, but whenever we do, we feel it delicious. Our college provides its students with almost every sport. I think hockey is not available. A society named Urja conducts its sports events every year. There are good medical facilities provided in our college.

Faculty members of our college are very helpful and qualified. Some lecturers are good, and some are above average in teaching. We have got excellent faculty for electronics and electrical subject. I would rate the quality of teaching as 3.5 out of 5 since I am just satisfied. Because some of the faculty makes you energetic and some of them make their classes boring, but it is not a big issue we can manage it by taking some extra time in that particular subject.

I am studying in ECE course. As far as I know, the placements in Thapar are decent enough. In the year 2019, the highest salary package offered was 25 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered was 3LPA. The average salary package offered is of 6.5 LPA. Goldmensacks, Amazon, Tata and Reliance are the top recruiting companies of our college.

Our college has excellent infrastructure, along with world-class amenities. Our college also has high-speed Wi-Fi facility and well-equipped labs for the course curriculum. The library had a centralised air-conditioning system, along with Wi-Fi facility. Hostel facilities were good, and the quality of the food served was average, but not great. Gym facility is available in every hostel. There is Wi-Fi facility, and there are air-conditioned rooms for single and shared accommodation.

Teachers here were well-qualified professionals. They had in-depth knowledge of their subjects and were always helpful. Their quality of teaching was excellent. The course curriculum makes students industry-ready and is suited to train the students according to the industry standards. Our college focused more on practical knowledge rather than bookish knowledge which helped to develop a better understanding of the subjects.

About 85% of all students are eligible for placements. The highest salary package offered was 15 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered was 3.5 LPA. The average salary package offered was 5.5 LPA. Maruti Suzuki, Trident, IOCL, IEL, Vedanta Group, Bajaj Motors and Tata Motors are some of the major recruiters for our college. A total of more than 250 companies visited our campus for placements. The top role offered in our course is a graduate engineering trainee (GET).

Being a private college, facilities are good enough. Recently, intake of students was increased so new hostels have been made to fulfill the need of accommodation. New library has been built. New block for computer science department has been built last year. The quality of food is just fine. Medical and sports facilities are also decent.

In the first year, every course has same subjects. But in later years we get choice among various electives which are related to exciting fields like machine learning, cloud computing, etc. some faculty members are really good. The course curriculum is relevant and most of the questions asked during the placements can be answered if you have strong basics in the subjects of your course.

In my course, around 40-50% students have been placed and placements are still going on. Average package offered is 8 LPA and the highest package offered was 32 LPA by Gameskraft. Top recruiting companies - Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Flipkart, Vmware, Cisco, Cloudera, Rubrik. Around 30% students got internship in companies like Rubrik, Microsoft, Amazon. Top Roles offered - SDE, SDET, business analyst, technical analyst.

There is 24*7 Wi-Fi on the whole campus. Thapar has one of the best labs in India. Whether it is a chemistry lab, computer lab, or any major lab is equipped with world-class equipment. Hostel's infrastructure is way too good. Old hostels have the old infrastructure and old facilities but the new hostels are not less than a hotel. There are AC as well as non AC rooms available.

Some faculty members are best and some are boring. The course curriculum is tiring. There are so many classes somedays it takes from 8 am to 5 pm and you only get 1 hour of recess in you it takes time to get back to the hostel and then again come back to study. The course curriculum is well maintained to make students industry-ready. It consists of lectures, labs, and tutorials.

Most of the students get placed in my course (more than 80%). The average package is 7 lacs. I hear that the highest package was 43 lacs. Top recruiting companies are JP Morgan Chase, IBM, Microsoft, L&T, Maruti Suzuki, and a lot more. More than half of the students got an internship opportunity in my course.

Newly-made hostels are incredible with air-conditioners and Wi-Fi, and they are better than most of the hostels. Food is good, and the laundry is also provided. The place is safe and hospitable. The library is huge, and new classrooms can compete with any IITs.

Core subjects required for placements are taught by great teachers. You can comfortably able to learn them with a little self-effort. I suggest working towards good subjects so that placements are not that hard. I suggest others not to waste much time on other subjects, but students have to maintain a good CGPA, which could be achieved by working a week before exams. They are a bit strict about attendance, so you have to take care of that.

Placements are great if you have worked towards them. Companies that arrive here are great, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, JP Morgan, etc. The number of students is way more, so you have to work to get into a great company. Overall, the placement percentage is above 90%, so you cannot be jobless after paying approximately 20 lacs as the fee.

Wi-Fi facility is very good here, and labs are well-equipped. Our college has Patiala's hugest library with more than 5,000 books of different varieties. Every classroom is equipped with smart-class manager. Sports and games are in the 1st position in our college, but some hostels do not serve good quality food. Otherwise, most of the hostel rooms have been renovated last year and are pretty much tidy and beautiful.

The teaching is not much good here, so it could be much better as they don't teach in an innovative way, which could make students motivated except in a few departments or faculty members. However, faculty members are very hardworking, and they give their best for students and are very disciplined. But nowadays, it is not enough to make students motivated to learn a particular thing or topic.

Around 50%-60% of the students get placed from our course. The highest salary package offered was 21 LPA, and the average salary package offered was around 6 LPA-7 LPA. Amazon, Whirlpool, Royal Bank of Scotland, Flipkart and Oyo are the top recruiters for our course. During COVID-19 pandemic only, around 10%-20% of the students got internships.
