How has your life changed since graduating from BITS Pilani?

SD
Shruti Dasgupta Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Student at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

Here are a few changes my sister felt since she graduated from BITS Pilani

  • She has got a mindset and brain superior to normal people and often finds it difficult to talk to them. So she finds it difficult to stay humble with all the knowledge she has.
  • Even after leaving BITS, she hasn’t lost her passion for learning and studying. While she was working she finished 6 MOOC courses between the time she left Pilani and joined her master's program.
  • She has stopped feeling insecure at all as she trusts her college and her hard work completely in shaping her career.
  • She has started working on many side projects 
  • She gave more importance to education and attended classes regularly in her Masters

Lastly, she no more questions the credibility of BITS Pilani and its alumni.

Lives in New Delhi

Comparing institutes is rather subjective because everyone considers different parameters. When talking about NITs vs BITS, only the top NITs are a good option for MTech while BITS is definitely an equally good option. 

Here are a few common aspects you would like to consider

  • Fees: BITS has very high fees in comparison to NITs but the high fees the overall experience and knowledge you gain.
  • Academics: BITS Pilani is known for its top-notch education quality and exposure. Moreover, there are no restrictions, and students are given a certain level of freedom.
  • Placements: BITS Pilani placements are at par with IITs and NITs so you can rest assured in that regard as well. 

BITS Pilani will help you grow as a person and even foster your extracurricular development.

Studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

BITS Pilani can be easily compared to the top IITs and is even considered superior to many IITs. It’s a leading private technical institute that imparts top-quality education. Here are a few things that make BITS Pilani stand right next to the IITs

  • The no-reservation policy gives BITS Pilani an advantage over the IITs. 
  • The zero attendance policy is another criterion that attracts engineering aspirants who want to experience freedom and academic flexibility. It also makes the students responsible for their actions.
  • The excellent bond juniors and seniors share makes this light and tranquil here. You will feel like you have made a family away from home.
  • The college ambiance is great away from the hustle and bustle of city life. You get to experience the tranquility of nature.

Other infrastructural facilities like the rock garden, the library, and the auditorium make BITS Pilani a great place to study!

Which is the most relaxed branch in BITS Pilani?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Founder, NextBigWhat

My answer is only related to the BITS Pilani Goa campus as my knowledge is limited to the same. Here, the most relaxed and laid branch you will find is Mechanical.

The level of difficulty and workload of any branch depends on its lab sessions while the course difficulty is almost the same since BITS follows a relative grading system. Now, when it comes to mechanical, the lab sessions are pretty laid back. All you have to do is turn on the heater in the apparatus and just note down readings after every 10 minutes. Students spend this time gossiping and chilling around. Moreover, this is a group work and only one student is capable of doing such an easy task while others relax. Lab sessions of other branches are very hectic and often extended to 3-4 hours.

The Mechanical branch is good either way; if you are genuinely interested you will land a decent job in the core. If you are here just for chilling, you can relax and still get placed in some non-tech job.

How are the salary packages for B.Pharm students at BITS, Pilani?

SD
Shruti Dasgupta Posted On : August 5th, 2023
Student at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

The salary package is very bad for B.Pharm. students at BITS Pilani. Companies including Mylan Labs, and Hetero Pharma visit the institute, but they offer lower packages to the students, which is highly disappointing. The highest package ranges from 1.2 to 3.2 lakhs per annum. Students from non-pharmacy backgrounds also have the chance to get placed in consulting and marketing firms

Which college has a better quality of students, NIT Trichy or BITS Pilani, Pilani?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : July 19th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Both BITS Pilani and NIT Trichy have attracted the best minds in the country and are at par with each other in terms of infrastructure, academics, labs, job opportunities, and alumni network. However, there are two major differences 

  • NIT Trichy like any other national institute has a quota/reservation for SC/ST/OBC etc but BITS being a private institute accepts students solely on the basis of merit. So the crowd here is more filtered and of better quality. 
  • BITS Pilani fees are very high so the students there are from the high strata while NITs have competitively low fees so students from weak financial backgrounds also join.
  • BITS is hyped for its no-attendance policy and flexible time schedule. 

Overall, BITS Pilani certainly gives an edge to NIT Trichy in terms of infrastructure and facilities but that stems from the fact that it is a private institute that charges high fees. So, if you are getting the same branch and you have no financial constraints, go for BITS while if you have money-related issues then NIT Trichy will do you enough. Always prioritize branch over Institute!
