Dipankar Kalita's Review On BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus), Pilani

i got accepted in all colleges i applied to . i had applied to vit vellore for btech in biotehcnology and i had gotten the seat for it and even paid the fees for one semester , i decided not to go as i lived closer to bits pilani and from what i heard it had better campus culture and less alienation as i had heard people experience in vit other than that it also had a better brand name as compared to vit and srm( which i also applied to for biotechnology and got accepted at) srm had a fees of about 100000 whioch is significantly less than both bits and vit(approx 24 lakhs) but the brand name of srm was not as much and its campus culture did not excite me...Read More

I selected this college over other colleges due to its legacy, exposure and opportunities. The freedom to traverse through multiple domains and it's flexible academics. I had applied to almost all biotech, bio engineering related colleges to get into health sector domain. I did not get rejection from any of the colleges. The admission process of my college includes an eligibility test, BITSAT, the scores of which determine admission into thsi college. I had appeared for the test in PCB subjects instead of PCM. The eligibilty is 75% in class 12. Cutoffs for my particular course was abouut 170-180 marks....Read More

I applied for other colleges like VIT, Manipal, COMEDK colleges, etc. I chose BITS over all of them as it provides a unique exposure and opportunity the others miss to provide. The institute's Practice School policy is a usp which attracts a large amount of crowd. The institute is completely reservation free and only allows admission on merit which leads to a better student crowd. You can take admission in BITS through BITSAT or directly if you're a board topper. BITSAT is the exam taken by most number of students right after JEE....Read More

I chose BITS Pilani over other colleges due to its academic flexibilitym vibrant culture, zero reservation and merit based admission process. I had confirmed admissions from other colleges such as DTU but I opted for BITS primarily because of it Practice School program and the autonomy it offers in shaping your academic journey. The admission process is through the BITSAT exam, an online test includes Physics, Chemistry and Maths and English and Logical Reasoning. There is no reservation policy. The cutoff for top branches is usually 340+. The entire process is smooth and conducted online....Read More
