Thapar university conducts engineering entrance examination every year so as to admit eligible students to the various engineering courses that are offered by the university. The thapar university was established in the year of 1956 and thus it is known as one of the oldest technical institutes in india. Later it got a deemed university status. Currently it is considered as one of the leading engineering institutes in india. Thapar university holds a campus of 250 acres and it is located in the city of patiala in punjab. The students of the Thapar University get absorbed by leading companies.

Thapar university stands out among the deemed universities as it offers excellent infrastructure with expert faculty. This university has got several departments which enriches the students with knowledge. It has a well established placement cell that offers maximum exposure to the international as well as national market. The various engineering courses offered in this university are cited below.

Structure of TUBEE

Thapar university engineering entrance examination is divided into two parts. The two papers are part i and part ii. The first paper consists of 60 questions, 15 questions each from physics, chemistry, mathematics and english. The questions are designed in an objective type multiple choice pattern. The second paper is known as the professional paper and the questions will be from the relevant engineering field. The duration of the entrance test is 180 minutes for a total of 150 questions. Each correct answer is rewarded with one mark while 1/4th marks are reduced for each wrong choice.
