Is coming into BITS Pilani Goa Hyderabad campus worth it?

NM
Nayasha Mishra Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
Studied at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2019)

Yes, it’s definitely worth coming to BITS Goa and Hyderabad campuses for your education. Anyone coming from a tier-3 college will find the stark difference with respect to 

  • Faculty 
  • Course Structure
  • Relative Grading 
  • Assignments
  • Internship opportunities
  • Crowd
  • Placements

In case you fail to get into the old IITs, your first option should be BITS Pilani. It’s better than NITs and new IITs. BITS Pilani is known for its superior crowd quality owing to its no-reservation policy. Another significant aspect that makes BITS Pilani worth it is the Practice School program wherein you will get a summer and last semester internship based on your CGPA without an interview. 

So, BITS Pilani is definitely worth it!

Some colleges like ISB, BITS Pilani, XLRI, SPJAIN, etc. do not have a caste-based reservation. Is it not mandatory for all colleges in India?

PD
Pratim Dasgupta Posted On : April 22nd, 2023
PGDM HRM, Xavier School of Management

Caste-based reservations in higher education institutions are mandated by the Constitution of India, specifically under Articles 15(4) and 16(4). These articles allow for the reservation of seats in educational institutions for students belonging to Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs), who have historically been marginalized and disadvantaged in Indian society.

However, it's important to note that private institutions, such as ISB, BITS Pilani, XLRI, SPJAIN, etc., are not required to provide caste-based reservations. These institutions have the autonomy to decide their own admission policies, including the reservation policies they choose to implement.

In recent years, there has been some debate about whether or not private institutions should also be required to provide caste-based reservation, but no concrete policy changes have been made at the national level as of yet. Some states, such as Maharashtra, have mandated caste-based reservations in private educational institutions through state-level policies, but this is not yet a nationwide trend.

It's worth noting that even private institutions that don't have caste-based reservations may still have other forms of affirmative action policies or scholarships for disadvantaged students, including those from SC/ST/OBC backgrounds. Ultimately, the admission policies of each institution will depend on their individual values and priorities.

Why is IIT Madras not popular like IIT Bombay/Delhi, though Chennai is a metropolitan city?

PR
Paridhi Rathi Posted On : March 16th, 2023
Master's in Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (IITM) (Graduated 2017)

Here are some points to consider if you're thinking why IIT Madras is not popular like IIT Bombay/Delhi, though Chennai is a metropolitan city:

  • IIT Madras is located in Adyar, which is easily accessible from the airport and Chennai Central and Egmore railway stations.
  • Chennai has plenty of sightseeing options, particularly its beaches, like Marina and Elliott, as well as nearby tourist locations like Mahabalipuram and Pondicherry.
  • However, Chennai's climate can be described as hot and humid throughout the year, with only slight variations in temperature between the three seasons. Mumbai, in comparison, has a cool breeze across the beachside in the evenings to cool you down.
  • Language could be a barrier in Chennai, although many non-Tamilians have settled here, and you can manage with a working knowledge of English. 
  • Finally, IIT Madras consistently ranks at the top in the NIRF rankings for back-to-back years, which is a testament to its research facilities, faculty, and infrastructure.

Overall, while Chennai has some concerns, it is by no means an inferior option compared to other cities, and IIT Madras could be an excellent choice for you.

What are the good and bad things about BITS Pilani?

PS
Prateek Sharma Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

Every coin has two sides. Similarly, every unique feature of BITS Pilani has both its positive side and its negative side. Let me break down this into a few components:

  1. Hostels: The positive side is that you get your own personal space as the rooms are single-seaters. The bad side is that you might face trouble socializing and making new friends. Students tend to stay holed up in their rooms rather than exploring and making new friends.
  2. Dual Degree program: The positive side is that you are taught pure science or economics thus making the path easy for you in both research as well as placements. You also get to choose your favorite stream of engineering and even can get the most coveted CS branch. Additionally, you get an extra degree too. But the bad side is that the coursework is very hectic and the 2 degrees are useless if your aim was CS and you failed to get it. Secondly, you can’t take a minor in Finance. You will also have to pay extra fees for 1 year.
  3. No attendance policy: The best part about this policy is that the classes are so intriguing and knowledgeable that students themselves are motivated to attend them without any external pressure. The bad side is that some students who are overconfident don’t study and regret it later. The surprise quizzes are also very hectic.
  4. Freedom: BITS Pilani certainly instills in you a certain level of freedom so you are of your own free will to decide your timetable, teachers, your labs, you decide your degree. The bad side is that you alone will be responsible for all the consequences.

Now it is up to you to pick which aspect, the positive one or the negative one!
