What Students Say

Likes

College Infrastructure, and Practice schools which provide internship opportunities without looking for one
Cultural drive among students to organised great events and festivals despite budgetary constraints
NO reservation policy leads to better quality of students at BITS

Dislikes

Distance from a metro city is too much, students had to travel till DELHI or JAIPUR (both atleast 200 kms) to buy any useful resources
advantage to students of Birla schools who get direct admission without appearing for BITSAT
Faculty quality deteriorating with time as no professors want to live in such a secluded college

Course Curriculum Overview

No reservation policy, which leads to a demographic and rational class group Student Faculty ratio was healthy at 70:1 Great internship opportunities are provided directly by the college through its Practice School program Exams and tests were apt and sufficient to cover the course curriculum.

Class Size: 70Course Fees: INR 500000 per year

Internships Opportunities

4.5

ZINNOV MGMT CONSULTING: The internship offered live experience in the outside world and involved stakeholder management and working on live projects I was a pivotal part of the engagement team that provided solutions to a Russia-based tech company. The project length spanned 6 months.

Placement Experience

100% placements (or atleast that's how placement teams crunch data so it looks that way). However, with time, inclination of students towards joining core branches has wore off and most of the students aim to get placed in either coding, consulting or product management jobs

Fees and Financial Aid

There is a 5-10% yearly feehike. For eg. in 2014, fees were about 90k per semester, which rose to 1.5 lakhs per semester in my fourth year. However, Students get Merit cum Need based scholarships, for students with GPA above 7, for which proofs need to submit, which verify a family income above 4.5 Lakhs (this figure may have changed now) There is also a merit-based scholarship for which there is no income investment proof needed

Campus Life

4.5

BITS Pilani hosts one of the best campus festivals, be it APOGEE, OASIS, or BOSM. BITS offers immense infrastructural space for hosting events of such festivals Students get multiple opportunities to rise and shine in these extracurricular activities

Hostel Facilities

2.5

BITS hostels got renovated during 2014-19 period, hence nwo all the hostels are newly renovated with top amenities. Food quality at BITS mess is okay. There is no good outside PG or rental facility available around Pilani Campus

Hostel Fee: INR 13000 per year

Admission

ELIGIBILITY: 60% marks in STEM courses during the 12th. Admission via 3 processes: BITSAT, State Board Toppers get direct admission. Top rankers of Birla High School and Birla Balika Vidyapeeth get direct admissions for MSc degrees.

College review-the reality

Likes

What is appreciated about college is their focus on academics not every private college focus on academics but they do and it's great if we compare to other private colleges.
The placements aren't that good but they try hard to get you placed so yes the companies do visit the most visiting companies are celebal,tcs
The campus is just fine it have different blocks for first year and others also have two garden to hangout and a basket ball court.

Dislikes

There isn't a very good college life like as I said they are mainly focusing on academics so events aren't that good as they can be
Campus isn't big enough so you barely get any place to roam around with your friends
Placement aren't very high it's around 5lakh ctc which is low

Placement Experience:

The placements cell try their best to get as many students placed as they can.many companies visit us including celebal, tcs and I don't know about the percentage but it's pretty good not everyone will get the placement but yes who have time to their studies will definitely get one.the average package is around 5lakh per anum ctc it can go upto 25 to 30.lakh based on your knowledge entirely

Uem jaipur, the dream college!

Likes

The library that is open for 24/7 for students.
The greenary and the calm circumstances in the campus that always keeps you refreshing.
The hostel facilities are very good. It's very professional.

Dislikes

There is some extra pressure of assignments and study in the university.
It's mandatory to give the exam that is 75% attendance.
The faculties are very friendly but strict also.

Placement Experience:

Obviously there is a campussing process that gives the students the opportunity to get their desired job. You can also go off campus to get bigger opportunity, but it will be on your head only that means it's a risk. But the average placement provided by the university is 6 lakhs and the highest one is 72 lakhs per annum.

BITS Pilani delivers ; provided the fees fits your budget

The exposure given for finance and Entreprenurship in BITS Pilani is well over what an average engineering college might provide you . They offer a minor option using which one can sit in finance placements with companies like UBS Deutsche Bank , Jane Street and many more .The admission process for BITS includes the BITSAT exam which is an MCQ based exam . From 2023 there have been 2 attemtps of the same ,earlier there used to be only one .However one thing to keep in mind is the BITSAT exams occur right alongside the JEE Advanced examinations as well the results .I personally gave my bitsat the day my advanced results were announced...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
