I would like to share the experience of one of my cousins, who studied biotech at BIT Mesra.

It all started after he secured a decent rank in his AIEEE exam and through the All-India quota got admission in BE- Biotechnology course, offered by BIT Mesra.

In the first year of his engineering, students studied the same subjects irrespective of their branches. At the end of his first year, he was quite confident that he had studied hard and cleared all subjects without any problems.

After getting into his second year on the first day in the department he got the reality check. From that day onwards, he doesn’t advise people to join Biotechnology, here at BIT Mesra.

Some vital points about Biotechnology, BIT Mesra:

• The lab equipment is world-class but none of them truly work. If some of them do the students are not allowed to operate them.
• The class schedule is quite hectic, students will have classes throughout the day, 5 days a week.
• For the next 3 years, same things are taught to you under different subject titles. It's like every semester.

So from the experience, I shared with you gives you in and out of the field. Now, it is your choice whether you want to get enrolled in the particular field or not.

My friend did his B. Arch from BIT Mesra, so I can give you a brief idea about the course.

Architecture depends on your vision, on your projection, and how you see the world. Therefore, college views could differ. Architecture is not like maths which would be the same throughout the world, it is designing and depends on how you can plan your thoughts.

Some of the striking features of BIT-Mesra (Architecture) are as follows.

• BIT-Mesra has a state-of-art course structure. This may not sound important but most of the top universities look at the course structure for Masters.
• BIT-Mesra has great faculty. Most of them get an offer from the most prestigious colleges around the world.
• B.I.T. gives a strong software and structural base to students. They are successful in making you think economically too, very important in a country like India.
• There is a good balance between contemporary architecture and traditional architecture.
• Alumni Network: The Alumni network at BIT-Mesra is strong as well as global. In college, electives like Architectural Journalism, Photography, Conservation, and Urban Planning are good to have and though, they are only a few among so many, it gives you an idea of different fields you can aim for from B.Arch.
• Placements or Job-Scenarios: On-campus training and placements isn't a very happening scene in BIT-M, though there are amazing placement stats among other departments. But things are different for architecture and they have an effective system builtin in the course structure including internships in the final semester. This also happened because students generally have internships finalized (through personal emails) much before the Career Fair starts. 
• Co-curricular: Being a nationally recognized school, great co-curricular activities are happening in the college regularly. These co-curricular lead to the personal growth of an individual and architecture comes out as the winner in many activities and competitions. Great workshops are organized throughout the year at the institute.

Going by the above factors, it is safe to say that BIT Mesra is a good option for pursuing a degree in Architecture.

The Production Engineering department at the Mesra campus, boasts of excellent facilities. A friend of mine recommended BIT Mesra as it is one of the best departments to opt for in BIT Mesra due to the following reasons: 

• The infrastructure here is great and boasts of well-equipped workshops and labs for forging, foundry, carpentry, welding, fitting, etc with all sorts of machinery.
• Most of the faculties here are very knowledgeable and will be helpful during your course. They make sure the subjects are understandable and interesting. Some of the topics are obsolete in today's world and you’ll need to update yourself as per current trends. The department organises Seminars and conferences regularly to keep students in trend with the industry.
• The workload is decently comparable when compared to other streams. So, if you can put some effort you can easily shine in the academics’ part.
• Placement wise although this department is not excellent you can try to be in the top 15 students in the batch so that you can grab good opportunities. Some of the top organizations such as Hero Moto Corp, Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki, NBC Bearings, Vedanta, AVTEC LTD, etc visit the campus for roles related to production engineering.
• Apart from the placement opportunities, many students opt to pursue higher education too. Some of the seniors are pursuing their higher education from top institutes like IIM’s etc.
• To grab better opportunities, it is good to brush some basics related to Mechanical engineering such as SOM, Thermodynamics, I.C Engines, etc. As some of the Mechanical companies allow the students from production engineering for their recruitment process too. 

Here is some information about the institute: 

So, if you are interested in production engineering and willing to put in some effort to be on the top you can definitely opt for Production Engineering in BIT Mesra.
