How is studying at the BITS Goa campus different from that in Pilani?
In terms of your degree, it will not mention the campus you studied at but that you got a degree from BITS Pilani. There is also no difference in the coursework or material. But, when it comes to differences, here are some of the major ones:
- In terms of discipline, the Goa campus is strict due to obvious reasons and Pilani is a little lenient that way. But that does not mean you will be restricted. It is the perfect balance of discipline and fun.
- You will find that the grading is also quite tough in Goa as compared to Pilani. The faculty at Pilani are quite helpful but some could be tough on you.
- You will find some cultural differences between the two campuses. There isn’t a stark contrast but small things that make a difference like the way students join a department, etc.
- BITS Pilani has always topped Goa in terms of reputation. But, CSE at Goa is much better than Pilani. This is because students at Goa have won quite a few competitions and gotten better than Pilani. It also has more GSoC selections.
- BITS Pilani is located quite isolated with extreme cold -2 degrees Celsius and extreme heat of 50 degrees Celsius. There is not much to do outside the campus. You can drive down to Delhi or Jaipur which are about 3 to 4 hours away. Goa is better located in that aspect. You can take a 40 min drive to the main city or even drive to Mumbai if you like.
If you think curriculum is what makes the difference between the two campuses, that is not the case. It is more about the day-to-day living at the college and other events.
What should I prefer, a dual degree in BITS Pilani or CSE in Thapar University?
I can only guide you but only you know what is right for you. If you are serious about a career in CS, Thapar University will offer better opportunities and an environment. But if you want to explore other things and also want to enjoy your college life, then taking a dual degree at BITS Pilani will be a great choice for you. BITS has a very flexible curriculum so it allows you to explore your ambitions thoroughly and openly. Moreover, you will be exposed to a better crowd and culture so obviously the learning experience will be more enriched. Generally, both institutes have their pros and cons, and going through these will guide you better toward making a well-informed decision.
Thapar University Pros:
- You will be able to study CS, which has amazing job opportunities.
- You will complete your graduation in 4 years
- Excellent accommodation facilities at par with BITS
Thapar University Cons:
- 75% attendance rule
- The crowd and academic ambiance are not at par with BITS because of the reservation policy.
BITS Pilani Pros:
- No compulsory attendance rule
- The packages offered are great but you will have to work hard for them
- More talented and skilled peer groups because of no reservation
- Dynamic campus life
BITS Pilani Cons:
- You will be completing your graduation in 5 years, a year later than your BTech counterparts
- You will have to study extraordinarily hard in the first year to get the branch of your choice.
- Intense competition and academic pressure.
Lastly, don't take dual degrees in BITS on the pretext of getting CS. Only a handful of students get to choose CS in dual degrees.
Which is a better choice, BITS Pilani or MNNIT Allahabad for Mechanical Engineering?
As a recent mechanical pass out from BITS Pilani, I can assure you that BITS Pilani will be a better choice for mechanical engineering. Being a reputed college, it has strong industry connections and students are placed in top firms like TATA, ISRO, Mercedes, Honda and more for internship and research opportunities.
BITS Pilani also holds a high standard in various brands with a strong alumni network across the world. It also has better infrastructure than MNNIT Allahabad, flexibility and more. The start-up aid is one of the best in the country.
Placement opportunities at BITS Pilani are also better with students grabbing packages up to INR 60.75 LPA. The top recruiters include Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Cisco and more.
I got 362 marks in BITSAT. Which is better, BITS, Pilani electrical or BITS, Goa CS?
Well, assuming that your 1st preference is CS at Pilani. EEE at Pilani is arguably one of the most difficult branches out there. Based on the conversations I had with my friends from both the BITS campus, here is what I can tell you about the courses.
- You generally have to compete with the top students on the Campus. Also, the EEE course material is not everyone's cup of tea.
- The EEE placements are quite good, though not for everyone. There are more high pointers in EEE than in any other branch. Thus good companies prefer to hire from among those.
- Placements might be better for CS at Goa, though in some other respects you might sell yourself short with this choice.
| Parameters&n | BITS Goa | BITS Pilani |
| Tuition Fee | 3.99 lakhs | 4.45 lakhs |
| Placement Average | 94% | 95% |
| Average CTC | INR 5 LPA | INR 18.05 LPA |
| Highest CTC | INR 1.40 Cr | INR 45 LPA |
So, if you want an easy life, better go for CS in Goa. Otherwise, choose EEE at Pilani.

What was ragging like at BITS Pilani when you joined the college for a bachelor's?
Although this perception exists among many students, this is not true. Also, at BITS everyone has to sign and submit an affidavit as per the UGC guidelines that he/she won't get involved in such activities. However, the best real-life experience can be described by someone who has studied there.
My cousin who is currently doing his Ph.D. from BITS is about to complete his 7 years on the campus, and here are his experiences regarding ragging.
- Seniors interact with their juniors in a very healthy manner.
- You will be having both formal and informal interactions with seniors. They introduce you to the BITS culture and you can ask any type of question without any hesitation.
- As you will be joining various clubs from the first semester onwards, you have to adjust to new people and maintain interaction.
- Although some seniors might ask you to introduce yourself with every sentence ending with Sir or Madam or sing a song, it doesn’t get to the extent of “ragging”. Rather, it paves a way for friendly interaction for the next 4-5 years of journey at BITS.
Overall, you won’t live with a fear or sadness of staying far away from family as you will be welcomed with so much love from the seniors. Even in the current situation, there are no instances of ragging because every student has the right to complain to SWD. Moreover, no one hardly gets time for ragging at BITS Pilani.
