Sir,my son got mechanical engg in Thapar in 1st round and we hope for upgradation in subsequent rounds.i am from Chandigarh. How are placements in Mechanical Thapar

Ans: Hi Rishu,

Achieving a CGPA of 9.5 or 10 is quite easy, but success in interviews is a different story. Very few students actually succeed in interviews, and not everyone manages it. While many institutions are working hard to place their students, a candidate's performance in an interview greatly depends on their own preparation. Without proper preparation, even the best institutions may not be able to help them succeed.
Encourage your son to acquire knowledge and skills related to his subjects. After two years, he should consider pursuing additional courses that relate either to his main subject or to interdisciplinary topics. This will enhance his employability in the industry. It's also important to note that many students lack soft skills, which are crucial for securing a job. Therefore, insist that he develops both soft and hard skills to ensure he is employable once he completes his course.
BEST WISHES.
POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO!

My son recently completed his Btech Mechanical at Thapar Institute but still waiting for placement.He got 8.5 cg till 7th sem and cg of 8th sem not declared yet and I hope he will not get less than previous cg. Please guide us about his placement. Can he placed of campus? or but about his study now.
Ans: Job searches can be challenging, but persistence pays off. Remind your son to stay positive, keep refining his approach, and learn from any setbacks. Remember that every student’s journey is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Encourage your son to explore both on-campus and off-campus options, and support him throughout the process. Your son’s strong CGPA can certainly attract recruiters during these placement drives.

If on-campus placements don’t yield immediate results, off-campus placements are an alternative. Off-campus placements involve applying directly to companies outside the college. Your son can explore job portals, company websites, and networking platforms to find relevant job openings. Tailor his resume, write personalized cover letters, and apply proactively.

While waiting for placements, your son can enhance his skills. Consider certifications, online courses, or projects related to mechanical engineering. Practical experience and domain-specific knowledge can make him more attractive to employers. Networking plays a crucial role in off-campus placements. Encourage your son to connect with alumni, industry professionals, and attend job fairs or industry events.
