Number 1 private college in competition to IITs

Student Snaps:

Placement Experience:

BITS is known for its outstanding placement as it attracts all major employers including FAANG companies for campus installation. Students are eligible from the beginning of their 4th year to stay to receive admission. More than 200 companies visited the campus last year and more than 1000 offers were made. About 90% of eligible students were enrolled in the final enrollment season. The highest package was 43lpa provided by Microsoft and the lowest package was 6lpa provided by Rao IIT. I also plan to stay to be installed next year. Unlike other colleges, students receive 3 placement courses from one degree and 4 routes from two degrees. The standard CTC for all branches (via BITSAT) included 22+ LPA for the latest placement season. Also, Pilani made higher points in mid-range packages than IIT Bombay according to India Today and data on the NIRF website.

BITS Pilani- It's magic!

Placement Experience:

The placements are the best in class with recruiters coming in from different parts of the country and different industries. Some examples (regular recruiters) include Zinnov, BCG, Microsoft, ZC associates, ST Microelectronics, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Nomura etc. Nearly 80-90% of the class gets placed. I opted for working for a company in Telecom sector after placements.

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.
