Good morning sir My son is getting cse thapar dera Bassi campus and robotics and AI & electronic and computer at thapar patiala campus. Which one we should go for?

Ans: For CSE, Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) Manipal stands out with excellent placements, strong academics, and a reputed brand, making it the best choice among your options (might not be suitable for some students due to some non-academic factors). VIT Vellore (Cat 5) offers good placements and infrastructure but at higher fees and slightly less prestige than Manipal. SRM Kattankulathur is a decent private university with moderate placements and good facilities. For staying in Delhi, USICT IP University provides affordable education with decent placements, while Maharaja Agrasen and Maharaja Surajmal Institutes are budget-friendly but have lower placement statistics and lesser national recognition. Your choice should balance placement prospects, budget, and location preference, with Manipal MIT being the top recommendation for career growth in CSE. Take into consideration location preference also as you are from Delhi. Also have some more options too as back-ups. All the best for your son's admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Amit Sir, Based on strong placement history, infrastructure, and national ranking, ECE at Thapar University is generally the better choice, especially if your son has an interest in both electronics and computing. However, if his passion is purely software and programming, and he prefers a more IT-focused environment, then CSE at JIIT Noida is a good alternative. All the best for your son's admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Good Morning Monika Madam! Thapar University's CSE at Dera Bassi campus operates on a 2+2 structure where students spend the first two years at Dera Bassi and final two years at Patiala campus, achieving 90% placement rates with average offers of 10-13 LPA through unified placement drives at Patiala. However, the Dera Bassi campus lacks the vibrant student societies, coding culture, extensive lab facilities, and extracurricular activities that characterize the main Patiala campus. Robotics and AI at Thapar Patiala provides specialized curriculum in emerging technologies with access to 90 seats and benefits from the full campus infrastructure. Electronics and Computer Engineering at Patiala offers 83% placement rates with core recruiters like Google, Microsoft, and Apple, spanning both electronics and software domains. Patiala campus features 250 acres with comprehensive facilities including 16 hostels, 24/7 library, sports complexes, numerous student societies like Creative Computing Society, Dance Club NOX, and Developer Student Club, creating a dynamic ecosystem for holistic development. The overall placement statistics show 83% UG placement rate with highest package of 55.75 LPA and average of 11.90 LPA across branches.

Recommendation: Choose Robotics and AI at Thapar Patiala campus for specialized emerging technology exposure with full campus experience and established placement ecosystem; opt for Electronics and Computer Engineering at Patiala if your son prefers broader electronics-software integration with strong industry connections; avoid CSE at Dera Bassi due to limited initial campus infrastructure and reduced extracurricular opportunities despite equivalent placement outcomes. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
