bits Pilani: pros cons and all other things

Likes

the college campus is vast and inculcates a good campus culture. the peer group at bits pilani is great and motivating , the startuo culture in bits is extrmely nurtured
they offer good additional courses such as humanities and finance electives that have good course structures and offer knowledge over arious domains
the infrastructure of the classrooms especially the new acadmeic building are upto date and modern as well as fully conditioned

Dislikes

the department especially the pharmacy department is extremely rigid and does not fully represent the academic freedom that bits advertisee
the coursework is at most times not relevant to the degree (pharmacy) we are made to do courses that have no valuable significance in our degree or our careers
the lab conditions are not upto mark we are placed in old labs with expired chemicals and basic amenities such as weighing scales or spatulas are not provided

Placement Experience:

the ca,pus placements are above average for the engineering courses in comparision to other private colleges but pharmacy placements are below par tey do not call a lot of core pharmacy companies for placmeents and most people in this degree either opt for non core placements or go for higher studies any core placments have very low packages(4 lpa) and are not much to begin with . i intend to go for higher studies(MBA) either in india or abroad

BITS Pilani- A relevant review of Pharmacy

Likes

Exposure along with International exposure via hackathons, courses and exchange programs.
Cultural and club activities. Exposure through vast amount of clubs present on campus varying from technical to non technical backgrounds.
No attendance policy and flexibility of courses one can take up.

Dislikes

The amount of opportunities provided for pharmacy students including placements and other opportunities.
Stiff and close minded faculty in some departments.
Location of the campus (Pilani). Extreme heat and extreme cold, hostels rooms are not equipped with ACs.

Placement Experience:

The placements in my college are excellent for tech and other domains, however, in terms of my own degree, ie B.Pharmacy, significant direct placement opportunities in core pharmacy are not available. The college is lacking in this respect, even in terms of summer training and opportunities, Pharmacy students do not get much opportunity. This is prevelant even for pharm tech or other related fields. They have to look for other domains for placements (finance, data science, consulting etc). Students can also get a ppo from ps2 opportunities. Approx 70-80% people are placed, in terms of pharma, only 30-40% people are placed.

The startup culture at the campus: BITS is well known for the startups that it has produced over the years and the startup culture present at the campus plays an important role in building and helping young budding entrepreneurs.
Student Faculty interaction : The professors at the campus are quite interactive and they engage with the students and they are easily approachable . Students can easily go and ask professors to work on project under them.

Many big companies visit the campus like Google , Microsoft , Nvidia , BCG , McKinsey , JP morgan , Goldman Sachs, Tower research , imc trading etc. Highest package can be close to 1 Cr while average package is 25 lakhs Around 85% students get placed

BITS Pilani delivers ; provided the fees fits your budget

Likes

Very enthusiastic faculty , impressive publications , some faculty are advisory members in boards liker springer publication
The exposure one gets in the college for entrepreneurial ventures as well as finance is immense , if one as an engineer wants to become a financial analyst , the steps are quite easy and set .
Zero attendance policy is very beneficial

Dislikes

Faculty can take zero attendance more into account . Though there is zero attendance policy there are surprise quizzes which get included in your grade
Living amenties are below average at the end of the day Pilani is a village and one does'nt get basic amenities like healthcare and proper food
the fees is too much for what they offer , there have been strikes but with no positive outcome

Placement Experience:

Students can sit in campus placements starting from their second last semester.Some phenomenal companies that visited placement last year was BCG , Bain n Co . , Jane Street ,Amazon , Flipkart .Also there are many companies /startups which visit for non tech roles like PM / data (Xpedia) and many more .As for the tech and core roles if you have a CG above 8 you will be sure shot placed . Highest packages go upto 2 crores for quant roles since they are highly paid for .Approximately 81 % of the students get placed , I have personally seen students with a CGPA of even 5 get placed a job of 14 Lakhs per annum .My plans after getting the degree are to work in finance .

Life at BITS Pilani: Academics, Life and more

Likes

Large and well maintained campus spread over 328 acres.
Excellent sports facilities ranging from outdoor sports: football, cricket, tennis, basketball, skating as well as indoor sports: badminton, table tennis, chess,etc.
Institute's policy of conducting Practice School helps in providing real hands on industry experience for all students which is insightful and gives and edge when appearing for placements.

Dislikes

Fees is a bit on the higher side. The institute is private and not government funded which explains the high fees.
The course curriculum is a bit outdated and has been the same for the past 10-15 years.
Girls to boys ratio is around 1:10 since the institute is merit based and has no reservations.

Placement Experience:

For Mechanical branch most of the students were placed(>85%) and average was around 18 LPA. Companies like HUL, JSW appear for core mechanical roles. Highest package offered in the core segment was of 36 LPA in Livguard. No mass recruiters appear for the placements as students dont feel it's a good ROI to apply in those companies.

Honest BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus) Review

Likes

Academic Flexibility: dual-degree program, GPA-based branch changes, option to pursue electives from various disciplines.
Faculty and teaching quality: The faculty here is well-qualified with PhDs and research experience.
Peer Group: The peer group is smart, diverse and driven. The student-led clubs and departments form the backbone of the campus life.

Dislikes

Girls to boys ratio: The gender ratio is skewed, roughly around 1:4 or 1:5.
Pilani Location: The remote location is bit of a downside. It's far from major cities which can be inconvenient for travel or industry exposure. However, it creates a tight-knit community and lesser distractions.
Mess Food: It's manageable, but nothing to write home about. Most students prefer food from campus canteens and eateries.

Placement Experience:

Placements at BITS Pilani are excellent, especially for branches like CS and EEE. Students become elegible for placements from the 7th semester and most sit for interviews during Practice School (PS-2) semester. Topo companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Atlassian, Qualcomm, Gldman Sachs, BCG, Bain, and DE Shaw visit the campus.

Ps - 1 and Ps - 2 are two internship opportunities which the college itself provides which is a great opportunity for every bitsian
Fests is bits are all student driven with oasis being the major attraction. The fests are highlighted with high profile prof shows

Dislikes

Very high fees is the only thing to dislike. Most of the students find it hard to pay.

Placement Experience:

Students become eligible for placements in their 4th year in case of a single degree or in their 5th year if he is a dualite. Although summer interns get hired in their 3rd year itself which is a great opportunity to get a high pre placement offer . Around 350 companies visit the campus every year and many offers are made ig around 800 . Highest package previous year for what I have heard was 4.2 cr to a 2 time icpc finalist student which was crazy . Avg package varies around 17 to 20 lakhs. Almost 85 to 90 percent students get placed and the remaining either go for masters or continue the internships in respective companies

BITS Pilani: 2 Answered Questions

What is your review of BITS Pilani WILP?Does it consider to get lecturer job?

Shruti DasguptaStudent at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

BITS WILP is a two-year postgraduate level course, in which 15 specializations are offered by the university. It is a degree course that is completed mainly on weekends to enable students and professionals to gain a full-time degree course while continuing their professional pursuits.

Pros

You get associated with the BITS tag
You can do your PG alongside working
The course is rather easy and with the right dedication you can complete it in 2 yrs.
The syllabus is the same for both on and off-campus students

Cons

You won’t be able to sit for PG campus recruitment
Not many companies consider this degree valuable and thus makes it is difficult to land a job.
The admission criteria are rather flexible thus the peer pool is not very filtered.
Most of the subjects are from bachelors and lack relevance and rigor
There is no visible difference in the knowledge base of the students.
The classes are not conducted by the original BITS faculty.

In all, I think the cons overshadow the pros and don’t deem this course a very wise decision.

Is BITS Pilani "Pilani campus" better than IIT Roorkee or IIT Guwahati?

Tithi AggrawalLives in New Delhi

In my opinion, both BITS Pilani and IIT Roorkee are in the same league while IIT Guwahati is a bit inferior to them. Let’s discuss further on the basis of some very common aspects

Core subjects: BITS Pilani does not focus on core subjects and the research culture is also very inactive. This is because of the extremely laid-back curriculum and attendance policy. The research opportunities offered are very less in comparison to IITs
Placements: In this aspect, BITS Pilani definitely fairs better with its flagship Practice School program. Students of this program receive many PPOs from top companies during internships arranged by the college itself.
Campus life: IMHO BITS offers the best campus life owing to the student-driven culture and great academic flexibility.
Performance: The institutes can be evaluated on the basis of the performance of their students in various entrance exams. IIT Roorkee students score the best in GATE, UPSC, etc. while BITS Pilani scores well in CAT, GMAT, and GRE.
Peer groups: The average student quality of both the institutes is somewhat similar with IIT Roorkee giving a slight edge to BITS Pilani in this aspect.

Both the colleges have their own strengths and weaknesses and comparing them is illogical. I would say that if you are genuinely interested in CSE, then Pilani will be better for you than Roorkee. But if you aren’t certain of your area of interest then choose IIT Roorkee for its IIT tag.
