Remarks
College is pretty good, it has a good culture and environment as there are no reservations and everyone has come because they are meritorious. But the fees are pretty high for a middle-class background person to afford. Although if one really passionate about engineering or at least serious about his future can make it worthy.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course is well designed as per current trends in technology and industry preferences. There is a continuous assessment in BITS in the forms of assignments, projects, term paper (presentations) and a mid-sem exam. The end sem exam holds only 40% of your total grades so the rest comes from the components mentioned early.
Placement Experience
Placements are pretty good in BITS-Pilani no matter in which campus you study. They are a bit shaky for few of the branches like chemical and biotech, but for other popular branches like EC, EEE, CS etc placements are almost 80-90% with a decent average package. BITS has a Practice school concept, by which every student get an opportunity to do an internship in leading companies for a semester.
College Events
BITS evidence a number of technical, cultural, sports events all around the year. The major of them include Quark (technical fest), Waves (cultural fest), Spree (sports fest), TEDx BITS Goa, Coalescence (management festival). All of these events are notional level and have a footfall of around 35K.
Fee Structure And Facilities
Admission Fees: 36,200/- (one time), Semester Fees: 1,59,000/- (per sem), Hostel and Mess advances: 22,000/- (per sem), Institute Caution Deposit: 3000/-(per sem), Plus some blah blah things. Total: around 2,00,000/- per sem, as of 2018-2019. So for a 2yrs of master course, you'll end up paying 8~9L (coz fee may hike any time).
Fees and Financial Aid
There are a few scholarships for B.E students but for M.E there aren't any. So mostly master students apply for Education Loan through an SBI branch within the campus.
Campus Life
Campus life as such is pretty happening and on top of that you are in Goa, the heavenly place, yeah so definitely you can chill out as much as you can. But gender ratio is still not that good. It's obviously better than IIT's but not as it should be ( like at least one on one :P ).
Hostel Facilities
The hostel is compulsory in BITS. Hostels are pretty decent and are mostly personal (no sharing, but for B.E 1st and 2nd yr guys have twin sharing once (and even one of the two girls hostel is twin sharing :p feels bad ;D ). Mess and hostel fee is around 22K-23K (slightly variable with time).

Faculty
