In line with its mission to provide world class educational experience by incorporating
global best practices in its format, Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology
University has embarked on a Contemporarisation Program under academic
mentorship of Trinity College, Dublin, University of Dublin, Ireland. Under this program
Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology University through its Centre for
International Relations announces a credit transfer International Engineering program
with Trinity College Dublin, University of Dublin (TCD). This program focuses on delivering
a research inspired, outcome based educational experience to the students in
partnership with TCD, an international university of repute.
Employers worldwide hold Trinity graduates in high esteem. The university has produced
generations of outstanding graduates. Some of the most famous people in Irish history
have been educated here: writers like Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett; scientists like
William Rowan Hamilton and E.T.S. Walton, who won the Nobel Prize for splitting the
atom, as well as two Irish presidents and many industry leaders and entrepreneurs.
I) PEDAGOGY
TIETU will adopt the learning outcomes approach for teaching with greater reliance on
self-directed learning, mini-projects within the courses, research-led teaching, use of
project work and assignments. Most of the first two years of curriculum across of
undergraduate programs will remain the same and the specialized courses will be
taken up during the later years. All academic staff is encouraged to bring in cutting-
edge research ideas from their own research into their teaching.
The student at the time of admission at Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology
University may apply for any specialization on offer depending upon his/her rank in the
qualifying examination. The student can pursue his/her interest area of study after
undertaking a comprehensive set of engineering, science and mathematics courses
including special engineering design projects during the first two years. With the
knowledge gained during the first two years at TIETU, the student is better equipped to
undertake a specialization at Trinity.
There may be a possibility of selecting a different discipline at TCD for the year 3 and 4,
however, this cannot be guaranteed and is entirely dependent upon availability within
defined limitations on capacity and is subject to equal distribution as far as possible
across the most popular specialisms. The specializations offered at Trinity are:
1. Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering
2. Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
3. Electronic Engineering
4. Electronic/Computer Engineering (combined program)
5. Computer Engineering
6. Biomedical Engineering
These courses aim to broaden and deepen the students knowledge and
understanding of the chosen specialism. Subjects are studied in much greater detail
and students undertake real-life, practical projects. A student who chooses Civil,
Structural and Environmental Engineering could end up testing the pre-cast concrete
used to build the London to Heathrow railway; a student who chooses Computer
Engineering, might design a special purpose microprocessor.
iii)Cost Savings
The student will pay fees at Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology University for
the first two years of the program. For years 3 and 4, eligible students will pay the
relevant Trinity fee for the course of study. By choosing this approach the student will
pay substantially lower fees than their international counterparts who opt for a four-year
program at Trinity. The savings would be in the region of 35,000 by this model.
Additionally, boarding and lodging costs would be significantly lower as the student will
be spending only two years in Ireland (approximately 20,000).
If the student takes up this route, he/she may be able to cover some of their living
expenses in Ireland.
Also, the Careers Advisory Service at Trinity advertises many work experience and
internship opportunities on their website. They also send out weekly emails with updated
job listings for which students may apply. Students can also search for summer internship
opportunities.
Please see the Careers Advisory Service website for more details:
http://www.tcd.ie/Careers/
Trinity has an active alumni network, with over 95,000 alumni currently working in 122
countries. Local alumni chapters are always happy to welcome new graduates and
can be a great source of networking for students.

In case of any seat remaining vacant in the International Engineering Program, the same

Students who meet the academic entry requirements for transferring to Trinity College
Dublin in the year 3 and 4, the students will be able to apply for a Trinity-Thapar
scholarship award (likely to be in the range of 15%) which would reduce their Trinity
tuition fee.
These students will be provided continuous mentoring support throughout their stay at
TIETU. Additionally, TIETU will offer specialized reinforcement course(s) in English and soft
skills to better equip them to adjust in Ireland. The performance of these students will
also be reviewed periodically by TCD.
The information brochure can be downloaded from our website www.thapar.edu. The
application form can be submitted online as per instructions.

Degree programmes, and
(c) must have secured a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
7.0 for SC, ST and PH category students
