A review on BITS Pilani, Goa Campus

The dual degree course in BITS is a way to get a BE degree along with it. In a way, it is a shortcut to reach top tier college and also get two degrees in 5 years in a top tier college of the country. The curriculum is mix of some old and modern things and I think more old approach can be removed and only modern approach should be retained. There are 2 quizzes, a midsem and a endsem.

The top companies visit for internship. All MAANG/FAANG companies visit for SIP. All the big companies from all the sectors including tech, non core, core and finance, visit here. All the projects are related to various different fields like web development, DSA, mechanical, chemical and electrical.

Single degree students are eligible in 7th semester and dual degree students are eligible in 9th semester for sitting in the placements. All the big companies including FAANG/MAANG companies visit here. Highest package around 60LPA and average around 18LPA. Around 70% students placed recently. Sitting for placements after degree.

Fees is really high. It increases around 5-6% each year. If your family income is below 15LPA per annum, then there is a good facility of scholarship. Merit Scholarship is also there. I have personally joined a Punjabi culture club and I have a responsibility of the Bhangra team there

Waves, the cultural fest of the college comfortably sits in the top 10 in the country. Quark, the tech fest is also really huge. Spree, the sports fest is the largest sports fest of the country. There are student run clubs and fests for all the purposes one might require. Sports and extracurricular activities are great too.

Mess food is fine, it's like any other college mess. The hostel taking is compulsory. There is no PG option available. Registration process for hostel is fairly easy. Hostel and mess is really affordable too.

BITSAT is required to be given. It is easier than JEE Mains but lengthier than it. The cutoffs are recently on a rise. It has risen by around 20% in the last 2 years. There is no reservation in BITS. BITSAT is held twice annually in May and June.

There are around 200-225 professors and around 4000-4500 students on campus. So the faculty to student ratio is good too. There are enough professor available for the classes and the students to have a good learning experience. Faculties credentials are great in research internationally and they are also there for one to one mentorship. You can meet them whenever you feel like in their office/chamber.
