BITS Pilani - it’s Truly magic


Ways to secure placement offers in college, highest and average package being offered

There are mainly three ways of getting placed in BITS .. first is through getting a summer internship and then converting it into a PPO ... second is sitting for placements and bagging a placement in a company... other than these two boys has a special practice school program in which big companies like google microsoft hire interns from our colleges for 1 semester and gives them a handsome stipend for that period as well .. this internship also can turn into a full time offer ... these are the 3 main ways to get placed . All the major companies of every sector visits the campus . Average package offered is 23-24 lakhs and highest domestic package is generally 75-80 lakhs ...almost all the students who wish to get a job get a job . My plan after graduation is to pursue MBA

Internship opportunities and various roles being offered by various organization

Google Microsoft adobe Netflix apple meta atlassian Sprinkler hired for SDE roles A few HFTs and hedge funds also visited for quant roles like millennium tower research capital trexquant for consulting BCG McKinsey Bain visits for analyst roles JP morgan Goldman Sachs visit. Leading companies of all sectors visit the campus.

College events, various clubs and facilities available in campus

BITS has three major fests .. Oasis is the cultural fest and is well known around India. apogee is the technical fest ... BOSM is the sports fest ... all the fests take place at a grand scale and a lot of celebrities and famous personalities come during fests. The library at BITS is huge and has every book one can think of ... I personally haven't come across a book on the internet that wasn't in the library. All the fests are conducted by students and clubs and departments on campus. Students develop good leadership and street skills by involving in these clubs and departments.

Fees structure, scholarship available and its eligibility

Tuition fees on average increase by 5-15 percent every year. Overall fees is really high but there are a lot of scholarships to help people and make it manageable. Top 1 per cent of people according to CGPA are given 100 percent scholarships on tuition fees and other than merit scholarships we have merit cum means scholarships for people with weak financial backgrounds. Scholarship for MCN students is given on the basis of their CGPA and ranges between 100 to 20 percent. Total expense for one year roughly comes around to be 7 lakhs. For extra income, one can take responsibility as a TA or teaching assistant. a TA of a course is given 5000 per month as a stipend.

Course curriculum and its practical exposure

The curriculum at BITS is up to date and ensures students are job-ready. In electronics and electrical engineering, a lot of emphasis is given on actually working on things that we learn in lectures in labs . Providing us with both theoretical and practical knowledge of the course. The workload is a bit more in electrical engineering compared to other courses. We have tutorial tests almost every day but that also helps us in keeping touch with the ongoing syllabus so that we don't have to cover everything one night before exams. We have tutorial tests almost every day and other than that midsems and endsems once in a semester. The exam might seem tough to people who just studied a few days before the exam but for someone who was consistent throughout they are manageable.

Students view on hostel facilities

2 occupancy room is given to 1,2 year students and 3,4 year students are given single rooms . Hostels at bits have all the facilities one can ask for ... we have common rooms with ac and television.. games like carrom and fuse ball ... meals at bits mess won't dissapoint you .. there's a lot of variety offered in menu during a week ... one negative is that there is scarcity of water in Pilani hence that sometimes becomes a problem .

Faculties, their expertise and bonds with students

Most of the professors hold PhDs from foreign universities and are author of several books of their domain . They have in depth knowledge of their subject and are very helpful for helping students in projects or something they are working on .

Admission process and eligibility criteria

BITSAT is comparable to JEE mains in terms of difficulty but the selection ratio is less than mains.

The institute's Practice School policy is a usp which attracts a large amount of crowd.

BITS Pilani: 75 Answered Questions

Which institute is better: VIT, Vellore or BITS Pilani, Goa?

Kirti DasLives in Chennai

The campus life combined with the quality of education offered at BITS Goa is incomparable to VIT Vellore. The Bachelor in Engineering CSE programs of BITS Goa and IIIT Hyderabad are becoming very popular these days. In fact, IIIT Hyderabad is even becoming better than IIT Mumbai just because of this program. As for BITS Goa, it will soon be at par with the Pilani campus in the near future in terms of brand and opportunities. 

College life here is very dynamic with vibrant fests like Waves. The college has a well-disciplined campus life. Life at VIT Vellore is pretty dull and full of restrictions. The admissions are unbiased and only 3 major companies visit for bulk placements. 

BITSAT requires more academic grounding than VITEEE. BITSAT follows a negative marking system that VIT does not. The level of difficulty of questions of BITSAT was higher as compared to VITEEE.

No matter how many pros VIT has, it cannot be compared to any BITS campus in terms of brand value and academics. So choose BITS Goa!

Is BITS Pilani equivalent to IITs?

Shruti DasguptaStudent at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

I find comparing BITS Pilani and IITs very lame as both have their own strengths and weaknesses and have made a strong mark in the educational world. Moreover, the ‘better’ institute depends on the individual and the branch he is looking for. For CS and EE, BITS is going to be the best option for you. But if you cannot afford the high fees then IITs will serve you better.

Although BITS is comparable to the old IITs, the suitability depends on the individual itself and is not generic. Everyone has different criteria to judge a college. Some focus on infrastructure while some give importance to placements and research. It depends on the individual on what to prioritize and then make a choice that suits his priorities the best.

Is BITS Pilani really a good institute?

Raktim Tarafdar
Navneet SinghStudied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

A good institute is a very generic term. Everyone has their own criteria for a ‘good institute’. In my opinion, a good institute is one that offers an excellent college life experience combined with a top-notch education.

BITS Pilani has a poor NIRD Rank because NIRF focuses on research and the location of the institute while evaluating this, 2 factors that BITS Pilani fails miserably in. However, if you look at other rankings, BITS Pilani scores pretty well.

  • India Today: BITS Pilani B.Tech ranking by India Today is 7 out of 10 colleges in India in 2022
  • The Week: BITS Pilani Overall ranking by The Week is 5 out of 34 colleges in India in 2021.
  • IIRF: BITS Pilani B.Tech ranking by IIRF is 1 out of 173 colleges in India in 2022.

Additionally, BITS Pilani has excellent infrastructure and hostel facilities. It also organizes 3 major and several minor fests. Oasis is the second-largest cultural fest after IIT Bombay Mood Indigo. Considering all this, I think BITS Pilani is certainly a good institute.

Will BITS Pilani get an IIT status?

Deepshikha Roystudied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

No, I don’t think BITS will ever get an IIT status. The IITs are no longer the statement because their brand value has been diminished owing to their increasing numbers. The reason why IITs gained fame in the first place was because of their exclusivity which has been hampered now.

BITS on the other hand will never choose to dilute its brand name as it stands high with the Birla brand. It has been maintaining its exclusivity and the IIT status will do no good to its reputation.

Apart from placements, what are the major differences between BIT Mesra and BITS Pilani?

Shruti DasguptaStudent, BITS Pilani

As a student at BITS Pilani, I can tell that there are major aspects other than placements that make BITS Pilani better than BITS Mesra. I have listed them below. 

  • BITS Pilani has a better and more lively student community with a higher ratio of students qualifying exams like IIT-JEE. 
  • It has student-friendly and better management policies for students compared to BITS Mesra. 
  • BITS Pilani is known for its strong industry connections that help students in securing internship opportunities in top companies. 
  • BITS Pilani has a better infrastructure with modern facilities and dedicated study areas.
  • BITS Mesra uses different state and national-level exams for admission but BITS Pilani has its own dedicated BITSAT exam for admission.

Which college is better for a BTech, DTU or BITS Pilani??

Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

BITS Pilani is a much better option to pursue BTech than DTU. Here are a few aspects I have considered before arriving at this conclusion

  • Placements: The best part about BITS Pilani placements is that students of all branches are allowed to sit for all companies. In DTU however, mostly CSE students are allowed followed by ECE, ME, and other branches. 
  • Batch size: The huge batch size of DTU results in immense competition during placements as companies only hire a fixed number of students from here while there is no such limitation on hiring the number of graduates from BITS.
  • Package: Some companies offer different packages to BITS and DTU students. For instance, Goldman Sachs offered INR 32 LPA in BITS but only INR 23 LPA in NITs, DTU, and NSIT. 
  • Recruiters: All DTU recruiters visit BITS but not vice versa. Top companies like Apple, and Cisco only visit BITS.
  • Internship: BITS provides an internship for 6 months while DRU provides an internship for 2 months only so the exposure and experience gained are limited.
  • Hostel: BITS Pilani has excellent accommodation facilities whereas DTU has no accommodation facilities for Delhi residents.
  • Entrepreneurship: BITS has a better startup culture than DTU.
  • Freedom: The zero attendance policy at BITS is what attracts the majority of students here as they are instilled with a sense of freedom in their academic routine.

Considering the above factors it’s safe to say that BITS Pilani is a more lucrative option than DTU for BTech.

Do students with CGPA's around 7.0 - 7.5 in BITS, Pilani get into good MBA schools in/outside India?

Sabeer Chalana
Shruti DasguptaStudent at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

It is a bit difficult to get admission with this score, especially at an institute like BITS Pilani. Most students with lower CGPAs fail to satisfy the interviewers due to a lack of sufficient knowledge of the core subject. So it is better to find your interest in studying and attend the interviews with presence of mind and confidence.

Is a BITS Pilani MBA good or bad?

Sabeer Chalana
Prateek Sharmastudied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

The campus won’t play a major role in your future. It is based on the talent and skills of the student in the core subject. You should strive hard for a better future. 

BITS Pilani is not good at placement when compared with other leading institutes in India like IITs and IIMs, but BITS is better than the third-grade institutes. So it is better to focus on your improvement in the subject rather than the college.

Why does BITS Pilani follow zero attendance?

Namrata Das
Prateek Sharmastudied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

The primary reason why BITS Pilani decided to follow the zero attendance rule was to imply that education cannot be forced and should be a result of individuals' own interests and passions. 

If someone is not willing to attend a particular class, he should be forced to do so because he will be attending it uninterested which defers the entire purpose of education. An uninterested student will affect the classroom ambiance and become a distraction for the faculty as well as interested individuals. 

Here are a few justified reasons why some students prefer skipping classes 

  • Students at BITS Pilani are responsible for organizing huge events like OASIS, BOSM, and APOGEE (Pilani Campus) that require a lot of time commitment making it difficult to attend classes. 
  • Additionally, some students are inclined towards research work rather than theoretical knowledge and thus prefer skipping classes. Forcing them to attend classes will hamper their development in the field of their interests. BITS Pilani believes in giving students the space to identify their interests and flourish within them. 
  • Students also prefer skipping classes because the speed of teaching is slow in the class and they prefer going through their friends' notes instead of spending 50 minutes. 

BITS Pilani has come up with this policy because it believes that forced education might hamper one’s growth.

Nayasha MishraStudied at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2019)

Yes, it’s definitely worth coming to BITS Goa and Hyderabad campuses for your education. Anyone coming from a tier-3 college will find the stark difference with respect to 

  • Faculty 
  • Course Structure
  • Relative Grading 
  • Assignments
  • Internship opportunities
  • Crowd
  • Placements

In case you fail to get into the old IITs, your first option should be BITS Pilani. It’s better than NITs and new IITs. BITS Pilani is known for its superior crowd quality owing to its no-reservation policy. Another significant aspect that makes BITS Pilani worth it is the Practice School program wherein you will get a summer and last semester internship based on your CGPA without an interview. 

So, BITS Pilani is definitely worth it!

How to get scholarship in your college
S
Sweta Kumari
May 11, 2024 17:42

Each student's tuition must be paid in full at the time of acceptance, and any scholarships received will be subtracted from the next tuition payment. A student may receive more than one scholarship at a time, unless otherwise stated, as long as the sum of all awards does not exceed fifty percent of the total tuition costs for the semester. But if the scholarship itself is at least 50%, this rule does not apply. The decision of the institute in all areas involving scholarships and concessions at the BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus is final and cannot be contested. In the event that a student is involved in a disciplinary situation, the Institute maintains the right to rescind the scholarship at any time.
