Fees and Financial Aid:

SBI opens stalls during the time of admission at both Goa & Hyderabad campuses. Since Pilani campus has branches of 3-4 banks inside the campus, they would probably be having better facilities. It is easy to avail loan to study at any of the campuses of BITS. Your father/mother would most probably have to act as guarantor. Although I don't exactly remember what I was asked to do, it would be useful if they could bring papers of whatever they intend to use as a guarantee. Having SBI account would be useful in case you are availing loan from SBI, otherwise, they would provide you a proforma for verification from nearest branch of the bank you intend to use to avail the loan.
