Is it worth taking B Pharmacy at Bits Pilani and leaving a BTech in mining in NIT Raipur?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 9th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

In my opinion, a B Pharmacy at BITS Pilani is better than a BTech in mining at NIT Raipur. There are many opportunities one can avail of by doing this course. Some of them have been listed below 

  • You can do an M Pharmacy from a prestigious US University or from NIPER Mohali. You might secure an excellent job abroad. 
  • As far as core placements are concerned, there are far more pharmaceutical companies than mining companies. Moreover, BITS offers elective courses in 2nd year and minor courses so you can opt for CS minor courses and even get placed in a CS company.
  • Another future prospect of doing B Pharmacy is that you can join any pharmaceutical company and work hard to secure a better position.
  • You can also pursue a Ph.D. degree and pursue a career in research.

In all, choosing a B Pharmacy at BITS Pilani will offer better opportunities than a BTech in mining at NIT Raipur.

Which is better BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus) CSE, IIT Indore CSE, or BITS Pilani (Goa/Hyderabad) CSE?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : June 17th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

BITS Pilani campus is way better than Goa or Hyderabad campus unless you have a specific locational preference. So that leaves you with 2 options; BITS Pilani and IIT Indore.

  • BITS Pilani is one of the oldest technical institutions and is considered a prestigious college often compared to the top IITs. IIT Indore is a second-generation IIT that has made its name because of its exponential growth. 
  • One of the major factors to consider while deciding between IIT Indore and BITS Pilani is the fees. IIT Indore fees are ?2.34 Lakhs for the first year while the entire BITS Pilani fee just for the first campus is INR 2,31,500. So unless you have any financial constraints, BITS Pilani CSE would be a better option. 
  • The best part is that BITS Pilani has no reservation policy which makes for an excellent peer culture over there. 
  • BITS Pilani has an elaborate alumni pool and is thus better than IIT Indore. 
  • The placement scenario of both the colleges is similar so that should be your last concern.

So unless you have any financial issues, BITS Pilani is the best choice unless you are adamant about the IIT tag.

Is BIT Mesra related to BITS Pilani? If not, then why is it named the Birla Institute of Technology?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : August 16th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

B.M. Birla established BIT Mesra in the year 1955. He was the brother of G.D. Birla, the founder of BITS Pilani and the main scion of the Birla family of his generation. BITS Pilani was established in 1964. The brothers were the descendants of Baldeo Das Birla. G.D. Birla’s family heads over BITS Pilani and its other campuses, and B.M. Birla’s family heads over BIT Mesra and its other campuses. The C.K. Birla group administers BIT Mesra in the present times.

Thus, the two institutions are not directly related. However, because they were both founded by members of the Birla family, both of them contain the Birla tag.

What is the exact counselling procedure for the B.Tech admissions in BITS Pilani?

AG
Anchal Ghose Posted On : July 19th, 2021
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2020)

The whole counseling process completes with a total of 5 rounds of seat allocation for its various courses at various campuses. The whole process is given below, in brief.

  • First you have to fill out the campus preference form online.
  • After the first round of seat allocation, the selected candidates have to pay a part of the fee for seat locking without which you would not be considered for further rounds.
  • Then the second and the third round of seat allocation takes place after roughly every 10 days.
  • After the third round is over, you need to report to your allotted campus within 7-8 days. You would have to get your hostel allocation and all other hostel amenities as well after you visit the campus.
  • In the final admission, document verification takes place and you will need to pay the full 1st-semester fee minus the seat locking fee paid earlier. On this day also you need to “freeze” your campus. If you freeze your campus, then you are eligible to get the higher preference branch only in your campus where you have taken the admission. If you do not freeze your campus you are still eligible for the other campus programs as well.

Finally, the 4th and the 5th rounds of seat allocation happens usually in the first two weeks of August and the process is completed.

If you have completed your MSc in Chemistry and are wondering about your career prospects, there are several things to consider.

Firstly, it is important to note that merely having an MSc degree does not guarantee a job. You need to have relevant skills, experience, and knowledge to land a job in the field of chemistry. Therefore, it is important to keep your expectations realistic.

One of the possible career paths after an MSc in Chemistry is to become a faculty member at a coaching institute in Kota. However, this may not be a viable option for everyone, and there may be other options available depending on your specific interests and skill sets.

If you are passionate about chemistry and want to further your education, you can consider pursuing a Ph.D. at a good college. A Ph.D. can provide you with specialized knowledge and expertise in a specific area of chemistry and can open up opportunities for a career in research or academia.

Some other career options for MSc Chemistry graduates include:

  • Chemical research and development: There are various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, food, and consumer goods, that require chemical research and development to create new products or improve existing ones. You can work as a research scientist in such industries or in research organizations.
  • Quality control and analysis: Chemical analysis is essential in industries such as manufacturing and pharmaceuticals. You can work as a quality control chemist or analytical chemist in such industries.
  • Environmental chemistry: There is a growing demand for professionals who can work towards sustainable development and environmental conservation. You can work in the field of environmental chemistry and help in developing new technologies to reduce pollution and manage waste.

In conclusion, while an MSc in Chemistry may not guarantee a job, there are various career options available depending on your interests and skill sets. It is important to explore different avenues and make an informed decision about your career path.

Which is best, BITS Pilani for CSE or NIT Trichy for CSE?

VS
Vaani Singh Posted On : March 24th, 2023
Studied at National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India

If you are considering higher education, it is important to choose an institution that is best suited to your needs and goals. Among the top choices are the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and private institutions like BITS Pilani. While BITS Pilani is a great private institution, it is important to consider the factors that set NITs apart.

Here are some reasons why you should consider NITs as your first preference:

  • Lower fees: NITs are run by the Government of India, and as a result, their fees are lower compared to private institutions like BITS Pilani. This makes NITs a more affordable option for students who want quality education without incurring a large debt burden.
  • Edge over jobs: If you graduate from a government institution like NIT, you can get a good edge over jobs. NITs are well-respected and have a strong reputation in the industry, which can help you secure a good job after graduation.
  • Clubs and Activities: NITs have various clubs and societies that cater to students' interests and skills. These clubs provide a platform for students to explore their interests and enhance their skills, making them more well-rounded individuals.
  • Innovation: NITs are known for their focus on innovation and research. They provide students with ample opportunities to apply their knowledge and innovative ideas through various projects, internships, and research programs.
  • Institution of National Importance: NITs are institutions of national importance and are recognized as such by the government. This means that they receive significant funding and support, which translates into better infrastructure, facilities, and faculty.

In conclusion, while BITS Pilani is a good private institution, it is important to consider the advantages that NITs offer. With lower fees, a strong reputation, ample opportunities for innovation and research, and a range of clubs and activities, NITs are an excellent choice for students who want to pursue higher education in India.

What is Practice School II in the first semester at BITS Pilani? What are its advantages and disadvantages?

SS
Sumit Srivastava Posted On : May 14th, 2024
BITS Pilani

Under a practical school program, you work with a mentor who supervises you and you can work on multiple projects to enhance your domain knowledge and skills. Practice School II is offered during the final year and is a 22-week full-time program. While students can wish for their desired company, allotment is based on merit. Cisco, GE, Dr Reddy’s, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan are some of the top collaborators. 

The advantages of Practice School II are as follows. 

  • Students get practical experience and develop a deep understanding of the subject which will be helpful during the interviews. 
  • Students can set a good CGPA score early on as completing Practice School II improves the CGPA.
  • Many students receive PPO (pre-placement offers) reducing the stress of placement during the second semester. 

The only disadvantage I’d say is the limited recruitment as many

companies recruit during the first semester and project availability.

Should I choose BITS Pilani or Motilal Nehru NIT Allahabad for a CS degree?

DC
Debottam Chowdhury Posted On : April 29th, 2021
B.E Computer Science, BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2021)

Many have pointed out that the campuses of BIT Pilani (any location) are no doubt better than MNNIT Allahabad. However, this answer does not focus on this, which does not signify that it is not a good institute. It is the best institute, and both of these institutes are the best choice considering your future perspectives.

  • Studying in BITS Pilani is quite expensive, and you have to spend approximately 17-19 lakhs to complete a course of two years tenure. Thus, many people cannot afford this, and for the MNNIT, Allahabad is the right alternative.
  • Besides, you can also consider the location of your hometown. If you take admission to the nearby institute, you can go home many times between the semester gaps.
  • The main thing is that both of these are great colleges and you have to think about the fees as per your financial background, as MNNIT Allahabad is cheap while BITS Pilani runs on money.

Many people vote like Pilani campus > Goa campus > Hyderabad campus, considering some of the courses. So, if you want to study CSE, then honestly, it is Pilani= Goa= Hyderabad. But you must also think about the weather and hometown proximity.
