What is the procedure to take admission in Thapar University? What is the average package offered?

All four universities have their strengths in CSE.

·         Thapar University is best for top-tier placements and academic excellence.

·         LPU offers a good balance of practical learning, industry exposure, and affordability, with decent placement support.

·         Amity has strong infrastructure but is costlier, with mostly service-based placements.

·         Sharda is improving but still behind in core placements.

Conclusion: Choose based on your goals. Thapar for high-end placements, LPU for a well-rounded, value-for-money experience.

When it comes to choosing between Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET), Patiala, and Chandigarh University (CU) for admission to CSE (both B.E./B.Tech and M.E./M.Tech), I personally feel Chandigarh University offers more value in terms of industry exposure, innovation labs, and placements.

For both bachelor's and master's degrees in CSE, CU stands out with its Microsoft Innovation Center, IBM Software Lab, Oracle Academy Lab, HP Center of Excellence, and Unisys Innovation Labs—all providing students with hands-on industry experience. CU also has the highest number of placements in top MNCs like Microsoft, Amazon, HPE, and IBM. Faculty members are industry-trained and focus on project-based learning and new-age tech.

CUCET-based scholarships make education affordable. For example, a student scoring 90% and above in CUCET pays zero tuition fees. Even those scoring 40–49.99% get a scholarship of ?14,600.
