At least 30 years behind if we compare it with the US or European schools. The industry clientele had taken leaps and bounds in terms of technology and what the students study is old-era theories that have little relevance in practice now.

Admission to the college is primarily based on JEE Mains scores and Class 12 results, with a form-filling, counseling, and interview process. Diploma holders can gain lateral entry into the second year after passing exams for four additional subjects. Faculty members are experienced and supportive, offering extra guidance and resources. However, the exam system has some issues, such as unclear marking schemes. The college charges about Rs. 35,000 per semester, with living expenses around Rs. 34,000 per month, excluding hostel fees of about Rs. 64,000 per month.

Scholarships based on merit and financial status are available, with government aid for families earning below Rs. 1,50,000 annually. Placement opportunities are frequent for CS and IT students, with companies like Infosys and Wipro participating. The highest package recorded is Rs. 12 lakhs per annum, while average packages range from Rs. 3.5 to Rs. 8 lakhs. Approximately 50-80% of students receive job offers, particularly in CS and IT, with packages of Rs. 8-9 lakhs annually.

Core branches have fewer opportunities, with internships available in places like Bhilai Steel Plant. Students need a 70-75% score for placement eligibility from the 5th or 7th semester based on their branch. Scholarships for SC, ST, OBC, and economically weaker students include monthly stipends of Rs. 5,000-Rs. 6,000. Despite higher fees, the college’s reputation and education quality make it a viable choice for middle-class families. The overall placement experience is average, with an emphasis on skill development for better employment prospects.

B.tech in BIT

There have labs for more detailed study like thermodynamics labs and automobiles lab.

So for lateral students for third sem you will have pay ?40,000 for the sem and ?2000 or so for exam and after 3rd sem the fees reduces to ?39,000 which i think should be more reduced as many people are having education loan .

About Chhattisgarh's so called reputed college bhilai

College fees is 39000 per semester and doesn't increase annually You have to follow fee structure of the session in which you have taken admission. I think it is very affordable but the ROI is average.

True facts

The fees in a college is 80000 per year I think it is a quite decent amount for everyone everyone can afford this fees this fees is of bachelors of technology and total fees for 4 year is is 320000 and I don't know about other courses but they might also be of same range I don't think so there would be any huge difference in the fees but our college asks for 80% attendance for a good improvement of students knowledge there are some extra expenses which a student might need because of assignments and practicals the college wants us to write the practicals in the page stand with our college name on it so it can cost you around 20 rupees for 20 pages which means one rupees is equal to one page and as an average you need around 200 pages per subject and you need to buy a special file for that which is unnecessary but you have to do that talking about the scholarship the scholarship is available for students of different categories except general once the scholarship is for SC ST and OBC

My College is best

The fees of the college are very legitimate. It's very affordable. There are no big hikes in fee structure for much time. There are many provisions for students like scholarships, and financial assistance.
