There are several parameters on which one can compare BITS Hyderabad/Goa with the new IITs. Some of them are-
- Infrastructure- BITS have a much better infrastructure as compared to the new IITs. Moreover, at BITS, one gets single occupancy hostel rooms from the first year itself.
- Education- In terms of education, all the IITs, NITs and BITs are mostly at par with one another. But BITS doesn’t have an attendance criteria, unlike the IITs. This comes as a relief, especially if one is preparing for some entrance exams on the side.
- Brand Name- BITS Pilani is as big a brand as the old IITs, and BITS Hyderabad/Goa are comparable in that sense to the new IITs.
- Placements- BITS Hyderabad/Goa are slightly better at overall placements, but the scenario is better for core jobs at new IITs.
- Campus life- The campus life and senior-junior interaction is again better at BITS campuses.
The decision is yours, but you won’t regret choosing any of these colleges.
