Entrance Preview
I took their entrance exam in which 70,000 students gave the exam and 260 were selected. It was a highly reputed college and required above 60% academic performance in 12 th class to apply for the exam. As my maths marks were not good, I decided on this institute.
Course Curriculum Overview
I chose the mechanical engineering as a specialization and industrial engineering and work study were my electives. I designed a robotic gripper with 3 degrees of freedom which was a first in that year.
Internships Opportunities
I did my intership with L&T Mumbai though I got it through a personal contact. In those days you had limited opportunities for intership and it was optional and not graded.
Placement Experience
All the major companies like TISCO, TELCO, ACC, HM, stc came and placement was about 70%. Now I believe students get 2-3 jobs and all the big wigs- you name them they are there in the placement sessions.
College Events
There were some festivals, films, etc. Students went to all major Indian student festivals too.Music shows through spic-macay and rock shows were held regularly. Festivals were celebrated together and each hostel had its own events sometimes.
Fees and Financial Aid
The sc/ st and backward regions people get assistantship and there are scholarship schemes though I have not availed any one.
Campus Life
The ratio of boys to girls was 1:7 as there was just one hostel for girls. They had a strong extracurricular team- debate, ham radio club, fine arts, music shows, dance etc.
Alumni/Alumna
They have a strong alumni network called BITOSA that has international roots too. BIT alumni are reasonably well connected and there is a family like bond due to the great experience of studying in BIT Mesra.
Exam Structure
It was a semester system. 2 semester in a year for 4 years. 4-5 theory and 4-5 practical subjects each semester. 2 quizes in a semester each of 15 marks. Final exam of the semester was of 84 marks- you could score max 70 marks in final exam and the rest 30 were quiz marks.
Faculty
Excellent faculty from top indian and global institutes who really helped and guided the students. Very high standards of academic excellence. Project guidance was very good and students were counselled in case of sub par performance on a personal basis.
