Review of BITS Pilani - Birla Institute of Technology and Science.

Placements: I belong to the HSS department, and the placements are not very great since it's an engineering institute. However, a few of my seniors got placed as assistant professors and research associates at state universities and private companies such as Amazon.

Infrastructure: The Meera Bhawan girls' hostel is an average hostel, not very great in terms of infrastructure. However, the mess food is really good in quality. The HSS department is very well maintained at NAB, which is the newly constructed and well-equipped academic block. Everything else like library, sports, and classrooms are really good are well-maintained.

Faculty: The teachers are highly qualified as some of them have even passed out from good universities abroad. However, the teaching methods differ from one professor to another depending upon the requirements of the course. During PhD, your coursework is decided by your supervisor in relevance with your area of interest and your supervisor's research area.

Other: If you can pay the high fee, then the exposure at BITS, Pilani, is simply another level of awesomeness. From the campus crowd, activities to events, BITS helps students in the holistic development of their personality.
