Respected Sir/Mam With due respect, I wish to ask can my branch be upgraded to CSE in subsequent rounds of Counselling of Thapar Institute as my XIIth PCM percentage is 96 while cutoff is 97.667%. Please assist me as soon as possible.
Hi Aditya!
I have personally spoken to the college authority in this matter. They provided me with the following procedure of admission in B.tech 2020:
The college conducts 3 rounds of counselling, or rather rolls out the merit list 3 times.
1 st Merit List came out on August 6, 2020.
2 nd Merit list will be out on August 14, 2020
3 rd Merit List will be out on August 24,2020.
Subsequently, September 1 st onward, online session will commence.
Now, there are chances of upgrading or changing the allotted branch to you based on the next Merit List to be prepared as per the vacant seats available. Also, it depends upon the preferences that you filled in the application form.
As far as your score is concerned, allotment of your choice of branch in the college will only be confirmed once the Merit List is out. However, your score is quite close to the 1 st cutoff and there are going to be 2 more lists/ rounds. So you shouldn’t lose hope.
If you have any query regarding admission, you can contact the college here: https://admissions.thapar.edu/contact-us.php
