NSUT is the winner among the two engineering institutes. The reasons for the win are below.

• NSUT has a superior ranking by the Ministry of Education. It is ranked 76th in NIRF Ranking for Engineering 2020. BITS has no place in the rank.
• NSUT has the location advantage as it is in the capital city. Delhi is more accessible to the students, guest faculties, and recruitment companies.
• Another main reason is the return on investment (ROI). ROI of NSUT is the best as compared to BITS. The fee of BITS is extremely high that it can take a toll on the pockets of students. Students do not have to worry about borrowing or paying back their education loans.

The details about fees and the placements of both institutes are below.

Overall, NSUT is the best as per the above points. The institute provides better growth opportunities for students.

Yes, BITS Goa offers international 2-months internships for PS-1, 6 months duration for the single degree, and 1-year for the dual degree. For the master courses, you can decide between Thesis and PS-2 when they reach the final semester. 

The internship is provided through a list of companies in which a student needs to fill up the preferences and then based on the aggregate or CGPA, the internships would be allotted.

Practice School-1:

• It is of 2 months duration after the second year for the single degree students and third year for the dual degree students in the summer term.
• Reputed companies offer internships such as BARC, CEERI, NPCIL, etc but the chances of abroad PS station is less. 

Practice School-2:

• It is available in the final year for both the single and dual degree courses. 
• The companies in PS-2 offer internships abroad but that depends on various parameters including the branch, projects, availability, and other factors by the companies. 
• They will ask you if you want to complete your internships in the same company be it on-campus or off-campus. 
• If you receive an offer from a company not mentioned in the Practice-School list, then you can pursue it as an off-campus thesis. You can request any faculty to be your mentor but it requires proper planning.

However, if you choose to pursue an on-campus thesis, then it is mentored under the supervision of a professor from BITS Goa whereas an off-campus thesis will be supervised by a faculty from foreign universities along with one from the campus.

Choosing neither of those choices would be outright foolishness. You would be foolish if you waste the chance of getting a seat here. 

BITS Goa and top NITs, both have their merits. Speaking from a friend’s experience with BITS Pilani Goa campus has great opportunities for CSE and for the overall development of students as well.

You can talk to someone from NITs about how things are there to get an idea, and then make a choice. Both institutions produce good engineers, so irrespective of what you choose, it will help you if you use the opportunity and facilities offered properly.

BITS Pilani is nearly impossible to beat at any score lower than 305.

Unless you are in an "IIT," or unless you are only concerned with the college brand name, the subjects you will study in the future. To be honest, your skills and knowledge will get you everything, but stream allows you to become eligible to sit for the jobs you want. You should emphasize focusing on the stream rather than the college brand name because many colleges have eligibility criteria, i.e. CSE/IT students can apply but others cannot, and thus other students are not exposed to enough opportunities, as is the case at the college where I did my undergrad and many other colleges.

Some of my friends are students of BITS Goa and they were able to elaborate on the attendance scenario at the institute. It’s true that the attendance requirement at BITS is 0%. Now the average number attending classes depends on so many factors that it would be nearly impossible for any ordinary person to note down the statistics keeping in mind each and every factor.

First, let me tell you the factors that drive the students to attend or miss classes.

• Marks: Although, it is advertised that there is 0% attendance required for a course, it nowhere states that a teacher can’t keep attendance as an evaluation component though. Some courses keep 5–10% of total marks as tutorial attendance (lecture attendance is usually never considered). And you would find probably 95–100% attendance in a tutorial when there is an announced quiz.
• The Faculty: MY friends say that they have witnesses ninety or so students and more trying to catch a tutorial of a popular physics teacher in a crowded classroom that has a maximum capacity of 60–70 as well as 12 or 13 students attending a lecture of another faculty member in a lecture hall with the capacity of about 600. The real reason for that is the faculty teaching.
• The Course: Any student would prefer attending a more weighted course (say with 4 credits) than to a less weighted course (say 1 credit). Because a good grade in a heavier course affects your CGPA more than a good grade in a lighter course.
• Time of the Semester: You would usually find the highest attendance during the starting of the semester and probably at least about 10% just before the exams. Just after exams also you get fairly good attendance, probably 60 % or more.
• Time of Classes: Students generally miss classes scheduled at odd hours.

Having said all this, it is not really wise to depend on others to decide what should be done and whatnot. Instead of that, you must be the one to decide what is right for you and what not. You might attend all classes of course X and end up with a B or B- and attend 30–40% classes of course B and end up with A or A-. It’s all relative.

I’d say, don’t attend or miss a class blindly following the masses. Attend yourself, judge yourself and then decide for yourself.
