BITS Pilani's admission process involves the BITSAT entrance exam, followed by a merit-based selection over three tiers, with final decisions by June. The faculty, mostly PhD holders with industry experience, is divided into lecturers and problem-solving tutors. Despite a misleading 0% attendance policy, the academic environment is robust. Fees increase annually by 10-15%, reaching up to 2.75 lakhs per semester, covering all essentials. To manage these costs, loans and scholarships are available, including a Merit Scholarship for students with a CGPA of 9.5 or above and a Merit-cum-Need Scholarship for families earning below 5 lakhs per annum.
Placement records, especially in Computer Science, are strong with a 100% rate and average packages of 18 LPA, facilitated by top recruiters like Uber and Microsoft. The Practice School initiative provides valuable internships, with stipends from major companies reaching 1.6 LPM. The overall placement rate exceeds 90%, with top offers up to 80 LPA. Students benefit from a supportive alumni network and entrepreneurial opportunities. Financial aid options and a collaboration with SBI for student loans further assist in managing education costs, estimated at 35-40 lakhs INR in total.
