Scoring a good CGPA at BIT Mesra exams is difficult because of the absolute grading system and strict corrections. To maintain a decent CGPA, you must give equal importance to your lab and theory exams. 

Here are some tips for you-

To score high in lab-

1. Make yourself visible to the teacher by regularly attending the lab and performing well in at least some of the practicals. 
2. Perform well in your viva and lab practicals. The objective tests hardly carry any value, or the teachers are too lazy to evaluate them and generate your final credit.
3. Try to answer creatively and confidently during viva, even if you don’t know an answer in complete detail.

To score high in theory-

1. Make a clear study plan, and don’t study each and every thing. Study the modules that will allow you to answer 5 questions in the exam. 
2. Don’t mug up, study topic wise, and analyze previous year question papers.
3. First answer the questions that you know very well. This will build your credibility.
4. Don’t leave any question. Try to answer all 5 of them. Sometimes manipulated answers fetch good marks. 
5. Try to get a little creative with subjective questions. Draw relevant diagrams and write equations. Graphs, diagrams and equations always enhance the answer.
6. Write in a neat, well structured and point-wise manner. Don’t be lazy in putting down additional details relevant to the question.

Be regular to your classes and submit your projects on time. NCC and NSS will fetch you an extra credit per semester. Try to participate in them, and attend their sessions regularly. PT and sports are even better, they’ll have a positive impact on your credits.

Follow these tips and you’ll score a decent CGPA in your B.Tech, at BIT Mesra.

Depending upon your personality type, there are different things for you to do on weekends at BIT Mesra. Some of these are-

1. If you are the studious type, you can spend your weekends in the library reading books.
2. Couples like to spend their weekends in the Mehak canteen, also known by the name of ‘Apni Rasoi’. You can also take the BIT bus and visit some new places in Ranchi.
3. If you like to have fun and explore during your weekends, you can see the quiet and scenic river sides. BIT Mesra is surrounded by rivers on three sides. But, I would suggest you to not get caught by the college guards while roaming around these spots. 
4. You can visit the Sharma canteen adjacent to the G.P. Birla auditorium. There you will meet new people with whom you can chat. Also, their samosas and shikanji are a must try.
5. Evenings of BIT Mesra are best spent at IC. There you can find a vibrant, diverse crowd of people, all spending time with those that are relatable or close to them. Visiting IC to hangout with your friends is worthwhile.
6. The Sports Complex is meant for fitness and gym freaks. Also, it’s a good place to spend your free time exercising.
7. You can rent a bike from rental services and explore spots such as Ramgarh and Patratu.
8. There aren't many places in or around BIT Mesra for foodies. You can visit the lounges and confectioneries in Ranchi.

These are some of the things you can do on your weekend while at BIT Mesra.

The first year lays down the foundation for the entire program so you need to be very careful and smart in planning your routine. Make a note of the following tips that will help you if you are a first-year student at BIT Mesra.

• Ask beforehand if the bus will take the Bariatu route or the Kokar route for buses plying Ranchi at 1 PM.
• Maintain a healthy bond with seniors instead of being arrogant. They will genuinely help you in times of need. 
• Mechanical Engineering lab sessions are a good chance to showcase your drawing skills which might also fetch you good marks.
• Join the clubs that align with your interests and make the most out of them.
• Maintain a decent CGPA if you want the best companies to pick you.
• Don’t mug up the concepts while preparing for the exams rather try to grasp the concepts well,

Hope this will help you!
