Ans: Bharty, With a 95.06 percentile in JEE Main and 87.8% in CBSE, Thapar University Patiala offers a stronger Computer Science Engineering program compared to UPES Dehradun. Thapar’s closing cutoff rank for CSE in 2025 was around 46,000, indicating competitive admission. It boasts excellent infrastructure, experienced faculty, and a vibrant campus life. Placements are robust, with average packages near ?11.9 LPA and recruitment by top tech companies like Amazon and Google. The curriculum is solid, with options in AI, ML, and Robotics. UPES Dehradun provides good industry-oriented education with decent placements but generally lower average packages and less national recognition in CSE. It is more accessible for students with lower ranks. Overall, Thapar Patiala is the preferred choice for better academic exposure, brand value, and career prospects in Computer Science Engineering, while UPES serves as a reasonable alternative if admission to Thapar is not feasible. All the best for your admission and a bright future!
