Good morning sir My son is getting cse in thapar dera Bassi campus, robotics and AI and electronic and computer at thapar patiala campus. Which one is better?

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!
