How can I manage to pay the fees at BITS Pilani without burdening my parents?

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

If BITS Pilani is your dream school but your financial background is not letting you join it, rest assured. BITS Pilani has provisions for 2 kinds of scholarships. 

  • Merit cum need: This scholarship is based on your grades as well as family income. You can get a 60-80% fee concession depending on your grades.
  • Merit scholarship: This scholarship is solely based on merit.

Additionally, many banks offer educational loans at low-interest rates at BITS Pilani. You just have to show your BITS ID card as security and loan repayment time is long enough (minimum 4-6 years). On average, you can repay this loan within 2-3 months and thus it’s the best way out.

What would be the better option between BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus) Dual degree or IIIT Delhi ECE?

Sayantani Barman
Subhayu MukherjeeStudies at BITS Pilani

When it comes to ECE, I would always suggest you to choose BITS Pilani. It is the top private college in India for pursuing engineering. It is even better than some of the new IITS, NITS and IIITs. Though IIIT Delhi is also a good choice for pursuing ECE, according to me, BITS Pilani will always be a superior choice. 

The course curriculum at BITS Pilani has been designed to impart both theoretical and practical knowledge to the students. The ECE department of BITS Pilani is one of the oldest and most reputed. The faculty is well experienced and helpful. They will guide you through your journey of four years and encourage you to pursue your passions.

Top companies recruit students from our college and if you are hardworking, you’ll become one of them. All the best!

Does BITS Pilani offer integrated Maths and Statistics course like ISI Kolkata?

Jatin AgarwalBITS Pilani

No, there is no integrated maths and statistics course at BITS Pilani. The primary focus of its mathematics program is on pure subject aspects and its application. Despite not having an integrated course, the mathematics program at BITS Pilani provides a solid foundation for students interested in further studies or disciplines like statistics. 

It provides students the option of pursuing electives along with the main degree. So you can pursue an MSc in mathematics from BITS Pilani with a specialisation in statistics. It will offer you a pathway to learn about statistics concepts while obtaining an understanding of mathematics.

Which is better, Great Lakes Gurgaon PGDM or BITS Pilani for an MBA? I am a fresher looking for non-IT jobs.

Ravi DhanejaStudies at BITS Pilani

Both of these colleges are good for pursuing a PGDM/MBA. The decision to choose the college should depend on your preference. The first aspect of choosing the college is the location of the college and your ability to shift to pursue the degree. 

If you are okay with shifting to Pilani, then I will suggest you to choose BITS Pilani for MBA. The course curriculum of MBA at BITS Pilani has been designed to meet the industry needs. You will be trained in such a way that once you start working, you’ll find it easy to cope with the workload. 

The practical approach that is used by BITS Pilani in its curriculum to give students access to a high level of education is commendable. You will get opportunities to do internships from top companies and even bag PPO offers if you are lucky. Each year top companies visit our college to recruit students. 

Thus if you are comfortable with moving to a completely different place away from your home, I would suggest BITS Pilani for an MBA.

Will BITS Pilani increase the fees in the near future?

Sanovar Lohia
Arpit SinghB.E computer science from BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus, Graduated 2024

Yes, BITS Pilani will increase their fees in the near future. But you also need to know the reason behind this. The top government engineering institutions such as IITs receive full government funding which helps them to operate efficiently and thus charge lower fees. However, BITS Pilani does not receive any kind of government funding so its main source of revenue is the students’ fees to maintain the level of education and onboard top-notch faculties. The current fee of BITS Pilani is around INR 21 lakhs which I agree is a bit too much.
