It depends on how passionate you are in either of the fields. If your interest lies in Chemical engineering, you cannot go wrong with BITS Goa. Being ranked 30th for engineering in India by NIRF 2020. BITS offers a BE degree in Chemical engineering and has a faculty-student ratio of 1:15 with highly qualified and experienced professors.

If you are inclined towards Computer science, PES University must be your priority. Ranked 93 for engineering by NIRF in 2020, PES offers a B.Tech degree in CSE as its flagship course. It has well-experienced and qualified facilities withholding 76 on-campus teaching staff and several visiting professors from National Institutes.

The tabulation below gives a brief overview of both the Institutes:

AS
Arjun Singhania Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.E. Computer Science from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2019)

Having known some people studying in both these institutes, I can say that BITS Goa and NIT Trichy both are excellent institutes when it comes to any branch. But if money is not one of your major problems, you can easily opt for CSE at BITS Goa.

  • NIT Trichy is recognized and known as the best NIT overall. 
  • BITS Goa is higher than most of the NIT’s and IIT’s. 
  • The only drawback of BITS Goa is that the fees are a lot.
  • For the CSE branch, I would definitely recommend BITS Goa. 
  • BITS Goa would be the better option available as it is famous for its CSE department and also because of lots of events and activities it conducts. 
  • In BITS Goa you can join the various events conducted and explore your skills and study at the same time. 
  • In NIT Trichy academics is given more importance. 
Categories CSE at BITS Pilani Goa CSE at NIT Trichy
Course Fee 19.19 lakh 5.65 lakh
Highest CTC 24 LPA 20 LPA
Average CTC 11 LPA 15 LPA
Recruiting Companies Google, nVidia, DE Shaw, Arcesium, etc. Aricent, Wipro, Honeywell, Microsoft, etc.

BITS Goa would bring the perfect balance between things and at last you will still come out with a hefty package.

How is the BIMTECH institute related to BITS Pilani, Goa?

BS
Bhumika Singh Posted On : May 11th, 2021
BITS Pilani, Goa

Both the college you have mentioned are not directly related. There’s nothing in common besides the brand name that they carry. 

Let’s talk about the institutes one by one.

BIMTECH, Greater Noida:

  • The name expands to the Birla Institute of Management Technology (BIMTECH)
  • It is located in the heart of Greater Noida.
  • It is a postgraduate business school that offers PGDM courses in various specializations

Jayashree Mohta is BIMTECH’s Chairperson & Dr. H. Chaturvedi is known to be BIMTECH’s Director

BITS Pilani, Goa:

  • BITS expands to Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani - K. K. Birla Goa Campus. BITS Pilani has around 3-4 campuses, Goa campus is one of them. Also, you would like to know that Pilani is the main college and is located in Rajasthan.
  • It is a technical and science institute for higher education that offers the best courses in B. E., M. Sc., M.E., and Doctoral Programmes

Kumar Mangalam Birla is BITS, Pilani’s Chancellor & Raghuram Gunaje is BITS, Pilani’s Director.

Both of them belong to the same BIRLA Family but were started by different people. BITS Pilani was started by St. G.D. Birla. Whereas BIMTECH was started by Late Syt. B.K. Birla (youngest son of Late G.D. Birla. Hence, both the institutes are different and offer different courses.

Which is better, a CS at NIT Calicut, an ECE at BITS Goa, or an ENI at BIT Pilani?

YA
Yashaswini Arya Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.Tech Computer Science, Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai Campus (2024)

First of all, you need to understand what you want. Do you want higher education or a placement? Then ask yourself whether you want only computer science because you love the subject or simply because you want a good placement.

  • If you love computer science, then do not worry and join NIT Calicut. You will learn it in an elaborate way and can then pursue a master’s or doctorate degree. 
  • The fee at NIT Calicut is also lower than that of BITS Pilani.
  • However, if you are like the majority of people who want CSE for placements, then I would suggest you consider BITS Pilani or any of its other campuses. 
  • You have to understand that a CSE degree is not compulsory to learn to code. 
  • If you join ECE or ENI programs and learn to code yourself. You can easily land a job in any IT company. 
  • The salary package you will receive at BITS Pilani (any campus) will be better than that of NIT Calicut.
  • The college life of BITS Pilani will also be very good. 
  • You will not have the pressure of attendance. 
  • There are lots of extra-curricular activities you can participate in also.
Categories ECE at BITS Pilani Goa CSE at NIT Calicut ENI at BITS Pilani, Pilani
Course Fee 19.19 lakh 5.42 lakh 19.19 lakh
Highest CTC 23 LPA 29 LPA 20 LPA
Average CTC 11 LPA 18 LPA 14 LPA
Recruiting Companies Google, nVidia, DE Shaw, Arcesium, etc. Wipro, TCS, Accenture, IBM, etc. Qualcomm, nVidia, Intel, Texas Instruments, etc.

ENI and ECE are technically different branches but they are almost the same. Except for the high fee of BITS Pilani, I do not feel BITS Pilani or Goa campus is anything less worthwhile than NIT Calicut. In fact, if you want only placements, then BITS Pilani any campus should be your choice.

Is BITS Goa overrated as an engineering college?

SP
Sreeja Prasad Posted On : August 2nd, 2021
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

First of all, it is not mentioned as BITS Goa, it’s addressed as BPGC, BITS Pilani, or KK Birla Goa campus.

All three campuses of BITS have the same education, same courses, similar leveled faculty team, and the same companies visit the campus to recruit students. Recently, even the placement list is common among the three campuses.

Large scale companies visit the campus for placements including Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Flipkart, LinkedIn, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and many more.

Here is a brief insight into the institute.

Particulars Stats
Total fees (B. Tech) 16 Lakhs
Highest salary 1.4 Crore
Average salary 18.5 Lakhs
Placement percentage 95%

The college is not overrated. The college has been ranked among the top engineering colleges overall in Goa by the NIRF. However, ultimately, it’s you who decides if you are successful or not.

The college helps, agreed, but without your zeal to acquire knowledge, broaden your horizon, and enthusiasm to work, you would not reach heights of success.

Anusha Jha Posted On : August 2nd, 2021
Studied at Pune University (2019)

Every young mind would light up hearing Goa and most of the parents are delusional to send their children to Goa. However, it totally depends on the individual to dodge the culture, activities and on the bright side, the administration is really strict regarding it.

Some of my friends studied at BITS Goa, and according to them if you learn to balance your priorities, it can be a great place of learning for you. There are a lot of places to enjoy but it is not necessary to attend everywhere and every time.

  • The campus is really beautiful and has beaches nearby.
  • The weather is absolutely fantastic
  • Hostel facilities provide single rooms to all the students.
  • Zero percent attendance rule.
  • Amazing cultural events and fests like WAVES, QUARK, and SPREE take place.
  • Peer-to-peer file-sharing system up to 100TB and the speed is around 50MBPS.

If you want you can learn a lot of things, which might help further in the future. Overall the weather in Goa is the best out of all the BITS campuses. There are lots of beaches to visit. Also,

Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM) (2019)

Both NIT Warangal and BITS Hyderabad/Goa are enormous and well-known colleges. If you choose either of them for a particular field it will be worth it. Just make sure of that in whichever college you are, give your best and you shall lead to success.

Both the colleges stand equally in terms of academics and placement statistics.

  • In terms of exposure, opportunities, research and peer interaction in BITS specifically are much more than NIT Warangal.
  • BITS embolden you to go for a long project for one semester in your final year in any part of the world. This is the main point of BITS that keeps it ahead of NIT.
  • Otherwise, you can experience almost the same in both the colleges in terms of career.
  • If you want to experience great college life, full of freedom, industrial exposure, and quality education, you can go for either of them.
  • In case you are looking for a good return on your investment, you then have to take the benefits of a government institution.
Categories Chemical Engineering at NIT Warangal Chemical Engineering at BITS (Hyderabad/Goa)
Course Fee 5.00 lakh 19.19 lakh
Highest CTC 20 LPA 25 LPA
Average CTC 7 LPA 10 LPA
Recruiting Companies Aditya Birla, ITC, Cipla, Dr. Reddy Pharmaceutical, etc. Deccan Chemicals, Pfizer, Shell, Honeywell, etc.

Further, I would advise you for NIT as it has less fees so there will be less burden on you and your family. Faculties are good in NIT as well. You will get the NIT brand associated with you which is very prestigious.
