July 14, 2014:
Stamping its class, Thapar University, ranked among India’s leading
institutions of higher learning, has once again figured among the top
engineering institutes of the country in recent surveys conducted by
independent research organisations.
Placed
at the 16th position in the Hansa Research Survey conducted by The Week
magazine, Thapar University has emerged as the only institution north
of Delhi to figure in the list of top 20 technical universities
identified by the survey. Furthermore, the survey has placed Thapar
University at the 5th position in the list of Top 5 Non-Government
Technical Universities. The magazine had carried the findings of the
survey last month.
Thapar University has also excelled in the Outlook-Drshti Survey
on India’s Top Professional Colleges for 2014 by securing the 21st rank
in the engineering category. The survey has adjudged the university as
India’s 6th best private engineering college and the 7th best overall in
terms of student-faculty ratio.
Bagging
the 22nd rank, Thapar University has yet again made it to India Today’s
Directory of 25 Best Engineering Colleges for 2014. The university has
also been rated as 3rd in the category of Top Engineering Colleges of
Super Excellence in the Global Human Resource Development Centre (GHRDC)-Competition Success Review (CSR) Engineering College Survey for 2014.
Maintaining
that these rankings were an outcome of the untiring efforts put in by
the faculty to provide quality education to its students, Thapar
University Dean (Resource Planning and Generation) Dr RS Kaler said,
“These recognitions will help immensely in consolidating the position of
Thapar University as one of the best engineering institutes of the
country. Quality research being one of our core strengths, we will soon
make our way to the global rankings as these rankings emphasise more on
research.”
Attributing
Thapar University’s success to the commitment shown by its faculty and
staff, Thapar University Director Prof Prakash Gopalan said, “We are
among the best because we bring out the best in our students by
imparting the best possible education to them. What makes us stand out
is our state-of-the-art infrastructure, strong industry liaison, quality
faculty and focus on research. With the collective and concerted
efforts of all members of our fraternity, we will certainly achieve much
more in years to come.”
The
Week-Hansa Research Survey rankings were based on various parameters
like institute’s profile, infrastructure, intellectual resources
(faculty), academic programmes and processes, quality of students
admitted, placements, industry exposure and extra-curricular activities.
The composite score was derived by combining the perceptual score for
the college, based on the nominations made by faculty, current students,
aspiring students and recruiters, and the factual score, based on the
data submitted by the colleges. Thapar University fared well on most of
these parameters.
The
parameters for the GHRDC-CSR survey were infrastructure, research and
faculty, admissions, curriculum and delivery systems and
placements/industry interface. Thapar University scored especially high
on placements/industry interface and research and faculty.
The
India Today-Nielson survey was based on the analysis of the institutes’
reputation, academic input, student care, infrastructure and
placements. Here, too, Thapar University scored high in terms of
infrastructure and academic input.
The
Outlook-Drshti Survey assessed India’s top professional colleges on the
basis of selection process, academic excellence, personality
development and industrial interface, infrastructure and placements.
Thapar University made a mark for itself in this survey as well in
academic excellence and placements.
