A few of my friends graduated from both the mentioned institutes and here are some insights regarding the institutes, based on their experience.
If you can afford the fee structure of Thapar university then surely go for it. Also, if you have a good rank then you must try other central government colleges of engineering in Punjab i.e NIT Jalandhar as well SLIET Longowal in district Sangrur, Punjab.
Here is a brief comparison of Punjab University and Thapar University.
| Particulars | Punjab University | Thapar University |
| Total fees | 70.08 K - 4.26 L | 13.23 L |
| Placement percent | 70% | 90% |

Else, if you want to take chances in the state government college then give priorities to PAU Ludhiana, GNDU Amritsar after that you can try for Punjabi University Patiala.

Faculty of my college is really very humble and experienced in their respective streams. They are highly qualified and disciplined. They are not over friendly and arrogant. I personally liked Sweety Goyal my accounts teacher.
Infrastructure of the college is really very good and at very peaceful location so that students can properly focus on their studies. College have their own playgrounds, canteen, library, music rooms, home science lab, fashion designing room etc.
The hostel facilities were good and student friendly . Rooms were clean but too old facilities and furniture with good internet connection. Hostel food was cheap but the quality is not extra ordinary. It is like good. Most of time they provide same meal to students. The hostel allotment through the your department . You have to apply in your department itself with hostel form.
