Please guide seniors 😑

I’m a dropper and scored only 80 percentile this year and have only 85 in cbse 12th boards now I’m in a very big turmoil kyuki I’m not getting anything good. I won’t blame anything but I had serious health issues during drop year. Now my parents are telling me either I join a govt college through reap (btw I’m general male from Rajasthan) or take a second drop and get an nit but I really don’t want to get into govt colleges of Rajasthan. As per I researched I think I might get mechanical in Thapar and genuinely telling you I’m super serious. Ab toh jo bhi karunga faad dunga usme. As per I researched mechanical at Thapar is really good and also we have December test so is it worth it to join it via financing fees through edu loan and then grinding hard either with ai and all in mechanical or upgrading branch in December test. Or I’ve heard ki mostly bache in Thapar are non serious regarding placements so if you grind hard you can get a very good placement too

Please please guide

Thank you

60% eligibility criteria doubt

  • So basically in boards I have
  • 49/100 Physics
  • 46/100 chemistry
  • 61/100 Maths
  • 79/100 CS
  • Now for 60% I am eligible best of 3 but not PCM, the official site says physics, maths and any one of chem or a technical/vocational subject. But the application rejects me saying u have not cleared the criteria. Help me with this please.
  • edit - please ignore the marks since idk how high HSC paper checkers are while checking the sheets. also Got 89%ile in JEE mains, is ece possible? or maybe even enc? something related to that?

Senior pls help

Title: Should I take Thapar ENC with loan + scholarships? Need honest advice (JEE rank ~1.36L)

Post:

Hey everyone, I really need some serious advice from seniors.

I got ENC (Electronics and Computer Engineering) at Thapar Institute and I have to pay ₹3.55 lakh before 25th, so I’m under time pressure.

My Background:

JEE Main Rank: ~136k (OBC rank ~46k)

Home State: MP

Family income: ~₹60,000/year

Didn’t give any exams other than JEE, so options are limited

My Current Options:

Thapar ENC (confirmed)

Few lower-tier government colleges where I might get CSE, but not sure about quality/brand/value

Financial Situation (Important):

Total Thapar fees: ₹31.6 lakh

MMVY scholarship(its an mp government scholarship): -₹6 lakh → ₹25.6 lakh

Education loan: ₹7.5 lakh (no collateral, no interest for 5 years)

So remaining = ~₹18.1 lakh

Now, since my income is very low, I’m eligible for Merit-cum-Means (MCM) scholarship at Thapar

👉 If I maintain ~9 CGPA:

I can reduce fees significantly

Even if I get it for 1–2 years, total cost could drop to ~₹12–15 lakh

My Goals:

Want >10 LPA placement

Good peer group

Strong college life (fests, events, social exposure)

Good infrastructure & campus

Some level of brand value

I’m extroverted, so campus environment matters a LOT

My Doubts:

Is Thapar ENC worth this cost + loan risk?

How realistic is it to maintain 9 CGPA at Thapar?

How many students actually get MCM scholarship?

What’s the real average/median package for ENC (not inflated)?

Is competition very high because of large intake?

Can I sit for IT/software placements from ENC easily?

If I work hard, can I realistically get 10–15 LPA from ENC?

How risky is taking a loan with my background?

Should I take a lower college CSE instead of Thapar ENC?

What would YOU do in my situation? (be honest)

Final Situation:

I don’t have many backup options, and I don’t want to regret missing a good college—but I also don’t want to take a bad financial decision.

Please give honest advice, especially seniors from Thapar or similar colleges 🙏

Please guide seniors 😑
I’m a dropper and scored only 80 percentile this year and got 85% in CBSE 12th boards. Right now I’m in a huge dilemma because I’m not getting anything that feels good enough. I won’t blame anything, but I genuinely had serious health issues during my drop year which affected my preparation badly.
Now my parents are saying either:
join a government college through REAP (I’m General Male from Rajasthan), or
take a second drop and aim for an NIT.
But honestly, I really don’t want to join the Rajasthan govt colleges I’m getting.
From what I researched, I may get Mechanical at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology. And genuinely speaking, now I’m super serious about my career. Jo bhi karunga ab faad dunga usme.
I wanted honest guidance from seniors regarding this:
Is Mechanical at Thapar worth taking through an education loan if I grind very hard there?
I’ve heard branch upgradation through the December test is possible. How realistic is it?
Also I’ve heard many students there are not very serious about placements, so if someone works consistently, can they still get a strong placement from Mechanical?
Is the ROI too risky considering the fees are around 30+ lakhs including hostel/mess?
I’m confused between:
Second drop for JEE,
Thapar Mechanical + hard work,
Rajasthan govt college.
Please guide honestly, especially seniors from Thapar or people who faced similar situations.
Thank you 🙏

Is Thapar’s Culture and Academic Standard Shifting Due to Increased Student Intake?

Can any senior or a current student answer these?

Is the placement curve actively on a downward trajectory, or is it just that the placement percentage is dropping because the pool size has inflated while the number of offers remained relatively stagnant?

Also, are top companies pulling away from recruiting from Thapar, and how's the coding culture here right now?

URGENT COUNSELLING DOUBT

If I do not pay the fee for the currently allotted seat, will my application automatically be considered for the next round, or will I need to fill out the application form again/register again for further counselling rounds?
