My overall college review for BIT Mesra, Ranchi based on my experience.

The course is mostly relevant and particular which in my opinion will be of great use in longer run because of the heavy infrastructure and big laboratories with well equipped instruments. The fact that this college is too old makes some lab machines not give proper results but most of them are updated with time so emphasis on practical as well as theoretical knowledge is pretty decent with a good difficulty level in exams and frequency of exams is also high which in my opinion can be a bit low. Facilities here are well qualified and experienced which is a bonus obviously.

Fees structure is pretty normal here as compared to any IIT, NIT (without any fee waivers) or a private college. Also scholarships are also available here every semester on the basis of GPA of previous semester which includes merit based as well as merit cum means, compassionate grounds, scholarships for employees' wards, etc. The scholarship is known as GP Birla Scholarship. Students can get upto 25%, 50%, 75%, or even 100% of the tuition fees based on their SGPA of previous semesters and the cash gets transferred directly into the accounts of the respective students.

Overall experience about social life in college is pretty decent given that here are about 30+ clubs and societies of every kind including cultural clubs like leo and rotaract, coding cubs like ACM, IEEE, IETE, IET, quizzing clubs like UNESQO, sports and adventure club, environmental protection and awareness club, NGOs like Dristi, robotics club like Robolution, mechanical core clubs like firebolt, aveon, srijan, extra curricular clubs like music club(dhwani), dance club, dramatics club(ehsas), and clubs of different branches like ECESOC, EEESOC, BIOTS, IEI Civil, etc. Entrepreneurship Development Club, 180DC consulting club, etc etc... They organise many events every few days. The atmosphere is too happening here. Anyone and everyone can participate. Sports facilities and gyms are also well equipped with 40+ acres sports complex. We just had annual athletic meet last week and we have our annual cultural fest BITOTSAV next month. Classrooms are also equipped with ac and projectors.

Admission process was quite simple as it has JEE Mains as the qualifying exam for entering this college. For my department, i.e., Mechanical Engineering and as a general category student of other state, 50k to 65k AIR in jee mains would be sufficient to get into through the counselling process of CSAB in which 2 spot rounds take place which happens after 6 rounds of counselling through JOSAA. Any student willing to come here can easily take the Joint Entrance Examination which is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) and then during the choice filling at josaa or csab, they can fill this college and that particular branch in which they want to enroll. If the cut off according to that year permits, they will be in. And the cut-offs doesn't vary too much every year. So students can assume the cut off to be around the previous year's cut off with a slight change. JEE mains is conducted twice a year and difficulty is above boards and below jee advanced.
