My BITS GOA experience

The exams are very tough and are very hard to crack. Though many questions come from the pyq papers but still many a times make us question whether we have studied at all or not. There are still people who are actually scoring good though in the exams so it's not as if it's impossible but requires consistent efforts to ace the exams.

We are provided internships by BITS itself. There are two internships- one after 2nd year in summer break which is generally unpaid and one in our 4th year with one semester dedicated specially for paid internships. Many a times SIPs also land students jobs.

Campus placements are extremely good with CS placements always having an edge above others. Currently around 20lpa is the average package considering all the branches and campuses. Highest package goes till around 65-70 lpa.

There is a consistent increase in the fee structure every year with current fees being around 30 lacs for 4 years for students who will be joining in 2024. We are also required to pay for the two internships that will be provided to us (one after 2nd yr in summer break and the other one in our 4th year). Merit cum need scholarships are also provided for people with week financial background (certain conditions are to be met). Students who have acted in BITSAT exams are also offered some scholarship.

There are numerous clubs that enhances your overall development as a human being and creative person. It ranges from performing clubs to technical clubs and NGO. I am myself a part of various clubs and departments.

Hostel facility is extremely good for the 1st year students especially. With random allotment for the 1zt year students you are either allotted a double sharing room or a single occupancy room. From the 2nd year you are asked to choose a room on the online portal which are compulsorily single occupancy room. Mess facility is good but needs a lot of improvement in various sectors.

Cutoffs in my admission year changed drastically as we were the first fully operational normal batch to have passed out 12th. Due to the increased number of droppers, our cutoffs skyrocketed in our year. Also, new aspirants should not expect them to go down shortly as the competition will keep on increasing every year. Campus changes even after registration based on cutoffs will keep on happening for the next 15 days after registration.

The faculty provided to us are extremely qualified, themselves being graduated from top colleges of India. The slides and curriculum set by them makes us test our capabilities and also pushes us to perform better in the exams.
