Sir, my son has got admission in Thapar and LNMIIT for CSE. We have blocked the seat in both the institutions. Which institution should we choose, considering the distance and fees for both are almost same. His JEE mains rank is 40000 in General Category and JEE advanced rank is 21000. Please advise.
Ans: Alka Madam, Both Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology (TIET), Patiala and The LNM Institute of Information Technology (LNMIIT), Jaipur deliver robust Computer Science curricula via NBA-aligned programs taught by predominantly PhD-qualified faculty, feature state-of-the-art AI/ML and software labs, and maintain strong industry collaborations with mandatory internship schemes. TIET Patiala records a 90–100% placement consistency for CSE students, with an average package of ?11.9 LPA and recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon and Deloitte engaging over 334 companies annually. Its 250-acre campus houses 27 undergraduate labs, 15 research labs and a dedicated data centre, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship. LNMIIT Jaipur achieves 90.6% placement for CSE, with an average package of ?13.7 LPA and top offers up to ?1.24 Cr from IBM, Amazon and Unacademy. Its modern AI, big-data and cloud computing facilities are complemented by an active placement cell that delivered 438 offers in 2025. Considering travel from J&K, Patiala is relatively closer than Jaipur, offering reduced logistical burden.
Prioritizing higher average compensation, LNMIIT Jaipur’s CSE program stands out for its superior placement packages and industry-integrated learning environment. As a close second, the recommendation is Thapar Institute Patiala CSE, balancing near-100% placements, world-class research infrastructure and proximity advantages for a holistic student experience. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
