    Thapar Institute has recently been ranked as No.1 in computer Science department among other private universities this year. So, I feel it is obviously more beneficial for you to go to Thapar Institute if you want to do computer Science engineering.

    I have heard about VIT a lot it's a good college. However, if you are looking for BE in Computer Engineering then you must go for Thapar University. Very reputed visit this college for placement. Also, other things such as infrastructure, social life, and accommodation are amazing in this college.

    Computer Science engineering offered by both these colleges have different courses but the baseline of computer Science engineering course is the same, it all depends upon the practical knowledge given to the students of computer Science engineering. Both these colleges are known for their great infrastructure, faculty members and facilities provided by them like Wi-Fi labs with better equipment and machines. So there is not much of a comparison between these colleges based on infrastructure, faculty members and facilities. Both the colleges claim to have 100% placements. In VIT-

    Dear Aspirant, Both have good placement but in the case of infrastructure and facility, LPU is better than any other University. Being an alumnus of LPU I would prefer LPU as it has helped me grow professionally and provides exposure to various opportunities in terms of internships, workshops, guest lectures, industrial visits, placements, etc. LPU is the best engineering college in India. LPU becomes the best place to pursue an engineering degree with highly qualified teaching staff, best laboratories, and modern technologies. LPU provides abundant opportunities for students to think out of the box. With Quality of Education, Placemen

And, good companies come here for the placement cell. You can get good companies here for the placement. This college has good infrastructure and peaceful environment too.

    VIT, Vellore is a great brand in the engineering institute in the country in terms of Infrastructure, faculty, placement, Course structure, etc. It has been established as a pillar of great academicians and have developed itself into market leader in the engineering industry. Taking about the placement the companies like:-TCS, INFOSYS, ACCENTURE, WIPRO, GENPACT, TECH-MAHINDRA, etc. are the companies visiting the campus for placement.
    The package can vary from about 6 lakhs per annum for computer science engineering as this is the most evergreen branch in engineering in today's scenario as growing areas are Mobile development, Web, data

    Thapar University being among the 30 best colleges all over India is certainly a lot better than VIT University.
    Thapar University is a semi private university, having a low acceptance rate in comparison to VIT University.
    Also, the modes of accepting students for both the colleges are different, with the former accepting applications through JEE Mains exam and the latter using its own entrance examination as admission criteria.
    The faculty at Thapar University is a lot better than VIT University, where they help you to get an internship and would readily involve you in their research projects if they are working on one.

    Well, on comparison Thapar stands at the top for computer science. Students in Thapar are eligible for CS only if they score 180 or above in (JEE Mains). VIT and Manipal take students through their entrance exams and do not reveal their placement data. Microsoft, Amazon, Wall Mart, DE Shaw, Goldman Sachs, Snapdeal, Google, etc. come to Thapar to recruit. The dream package in Thapar is above 8 lacs. Average package is about 6-7 lacs. Also, you get the reputation of a 60-year-old college.
    There is no comparison between Thapar and VIT in any way.
    Thapar is better based on following factors-

    VIT, Vellore is a great brand and known for its excellent placements assistance. It is the best in terms of class faculty and infrastructure for technology development and better than Thapar university.
    But the number of candidates from B.Tech CSE getting 6+LPA offer is a little difficult to answer. I don't have the exact figures but I can give you an approximation.
    So, companies that come to VIT are divided into three categories namely:
    Mass Recruiter: 3.2 - 3.4 LPA
    Dream Offer : 4 - 8 LPA
    Super Dream Offer : 10+ LPA
    In VIT, if you are an average student or maybe a little below average, you will end up with one of the Mass Recruiter Compan
