Is thapar really on a downhill or people are just fear mongering
Seniors pls tell i will have dot 8 after this sem ,will any company literally any above 6 lpa hire me ?
how to cope with existential angst and fomo pls help
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
Should I go with this preference order ???? is this the peak ???? Already alloted EVD in round 1 not interested in electrical so avoiding electrical and computer engg....
I got 98.2%ile in jee mains
Placement wise, Is CSE the best branch here??
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 🙏
If I don’t get a seat in this round, will I have to fill out the application again for the further rounds and pay the application fee again, or will the form I already filled be considered for all rounds?
which one of these is better considering my requirements are a decent college and good placements pls give reasons ( thanks )
WHAT IS THIS SHITTY WEBSITE WHERE DID MY APPLICATION GO? I CANT EVEN CREATE A NEW APPLICATION FOR BTECH BUT IT SHOWS I PAID THE FEES
I have been allocated a seat in COPC but I do not have the funds, is there any way I can opt for education loan.
If anyone has taken an education loan to pay the fees, plz let me know about what the procedure is
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?
anybody up for pairing up and solving (learning) DSA together?
Same
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?
I am thinking to visit thapar tomorrow (Saturday) i got enc branch and I am thinking to visit and see the campus and i want to know that will i be able to pay the fee directly there? Cause I am facing trouble paying online and they are also not receiving call so tell me that visiting campus will be worth or not?
