What Students Say
Likes
- The clubs and departments here don't just hire on the basis of academics. They test your skills, personality, etc. by conducting group-discussions and personal interviews.
- The zero attendence policy makes BITS stand out among the Tier-1 colleges/universities. And also promotes the entrepreneurship culture.
Dislikes
- The gender ratio is messed up. It is nearly 1:7 (M:F) appx
Course Curriculum Overview
The aspects of my course (BE in Computer Science) that attracted me are that it is easier as compared to other branches like mechanical and electrical. The curriculum here basically forces you to go to a practice school to get real life experience in the industry which in my opinion is really great. There are two PS(Practice School): PS-1 in 2nd year, and PS-2 in 4th year.
Internships Opportunities
There are many internship opportunities for you. You can opt for Practice Schools which helps you get some experience. PS-1 is like unpaid internship and in PS-2 you get paid. PS-1 is at the end of 2nd year, and PS-2 is in 4th year.
Placement Experience
The placements are the best as one would expect from a tier-1 college. Students become eligible for campus placements. The highest package offered is around 1cr, and the average package offered is around 35lpa for my branch(CS)
Fees and Financial Aid
The tution fee is 5.2 lacs and the hostel fee is 1.05 lacs appx. The fee is same for everyone and there is no reservation based on anything. Scholarships upto 100% are provided both on "merit" and "merit-cum-need" basis. Also there is no Management Quota.
Campus Life
I cannot explain how amazing the campus life is. The freedom you get here is unimaginable. There are 3 major fests every year; BOSM, OASIS and APOGEE. OASIS being the second largest fest in Asia. BOSM is the sports fest.
Hostel Facilities
The hostels provided are not luxurious, but they are decent. The mess food is not the best, and you will not like it but you'll have to accept it as eating fast food everyday would not be recommended.
Admission
I chose BITS because it is one of the top tier-1 universities, and is better than most of the IITs. Campus culture was another major factor that made me choose BITS over IITs. And the 0 attendance policy is sugar on top.
Faculty
The faculties here are one of the best across the country. They are really passionate about their subject and really approachable. There are minor exams which are conducted in tutorials that contribute to 15% of the course and then there are two major examinations known as Mid-Sem and Comprehensive examination.
