BITS Pilani- It's Magic

Likes

Campus culture which involves interactions with other batches, concept of seniority and it getting diminished as time passes
Peer group which is excelling in almost every aspect.
Frequency of personal interaction with professors.

Dislikes

0% attendence tends to make people lazy.
weather is so very extreme. Very hot in summers (around 50⁰C) and very cold in winters(sometimes below 0)
remote location- Pilani is a village making it a hassle to order some of the things and waiting 4-5 days for a simple thing.

Student Snaps:

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is completely structured in a well manner though sometimes it feels that the evals could be lesser in some of the courses whichshwould not affect the progress. The difficulty level of quizzes is easy to moderate and midsems and comprehensives are moderate to tough

Likes

I really liked the world class facilities provided
Admission only based on merit and not reservation
The club culture here is one of the best

Dislikes

As the campus is really old, some of the infrastructure needs some improvement as well
Quality of food provided in mess is sometimes an issue

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum is highly relevant. The frequency of tests is branch dependent. For example, phoenix branches might have upto 6-7 tests a week. My branch mechanical has around 3-4 tests a week and all of them are announced

BITS Pilani - Journey into the Magical Place

Likes

One of the best Alumni network in India, very helpful and always ready to help
Awesome placements and internship opportunities
zero attendance policy, which gives the student extremely free time

Dislikes

I hated the gender ratio which is around 11 is to 1
The mess food is not that great, lacks flavour
Campus is at a pretty isolated place, which makes it harder to reach

Placement Experience:

Placements are the key highlights of our college, it has an incredible placement record with companies coming from all fields. The best part is anyone can sit for companies other than their discipline which makes switching industries and exploring better careers possible. Almost a 100% placement, however due to bad market some offers might get revoked in rare instances. I plan to become a Product Manager

BITS Pilani Review

Likes

Campus is beautiful, lush green, it's clean as well
Teachers are great! Helpful too. You don't feel like you're being missed out upon
Practicality is great as well. It's like you're in an IIT.

Dislikes

Fee structure obviously for once because it's very expensive
Placements are limited for NON CSE branches.
Extra curricular infrastructure is a little bad

Placement Experience:

BITS provides internships in Birla, that's really great, a lot of students get placed but only from CSE. Other branches don't have good placements in our college. CSE is preffered, 30 LPA is average and the packages tops 60 LPA every year.

BITS Pilani, it's Tragic

Likes

The clubs and departments here don't just hire on the basis of academics. They test your skills, personality, etc. by conducting group-discussions and personal interviews.
The zero attendence policy makes BITS stand out among the Tier-1 colleges/universities. And also promotes the entrepreneurship culture.

Dislikes

The gender ratio is messed up. It is nearly 1:7 (M:F) appx

Placement Experience:

The placements are the best as one would expect from a tier-1 college. Students become eligible for campus placements. The highest package offered is around 1cr, and the average package offered is around 35lpa for my branch(CS)

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.
