Ups and downs of BITS through some unknown insights.

Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful. They set up a chembur consultation hour which helps us to get a one on one interaction with them. The course curriculum is based on Massachusetts university as it is one of the leading university of the world. Questions are logically based instead of wrote learning. Exams are quite difficult, which makes us more competitive.

Worth it to take admission here.

Faculty: Yes, the teachers are helpful and knowledgeable; they also help those students who are not able to grasp the concepts they are taught in the classroom. Teaching quality is top-notch. The course designed by BITS Pilani is relevant and industry-ready. The semester exams are good if you understand the concepts clearly.

There was a moderately good placement season in 2023.

Faculty: The professors are qualified and knowledgeable, and the teaching quality is really good. The coursework is relevant to market standards, making the students industry-ready. However, the exams are very difficult, with a pass percentage of only 20 percent of the total course.

One of the best engineering colleges in India.

Faculty: The faculty is excellent. All of them are professors who have decades of experience and are really warm and welcoming toward new students. The exams are pretty difficult because BITS works on a relative grading score, i.e., your marks are compared with others', and then you are given a ranking rather than having a fixed-point system where if you get a certain number of marks, you will be given a certain grade. The pass percentage is very high, around 80-90%.

BITS Pilani - It's Magic.

Faculty: Faculty members here at the Goa campus are extremely qualified. Classes are full of demonstrations. There is no compulsion to attend classes, but it is recommended to attend them, especially if you are a dualite. CGPA matters in almost every aspect, whether it’s getting a dual, practice school, scholarship, etc. When it comes to the curriculum, first-year courses may not be that relevant, but in the end, they will surely help you in one way or another.

Faculty: The faculty were chosen by us, and each one holds a PhD from a reputable institution. The curriculum is relevant and industry-based, similar to IITs and NITs. Semester exams are a bit harder than other colleges, but the class timings are chosen by the students.

Best academics as well as fest culture with good placements.

Faculty: Highly qualified teachers are there. Relatively tougher academics but the teachers do make efforts in the lectures to show all the demonstrations. Maybe the first-year courses offered are not so relevant but the further courses offered are relevant. Also having a good academic culture.

An Overview: Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, KK Birla Goa campus

Faculty: The teachers were helpful and they are well qualified and knowledgeable; their teaching quality was pretty good. The first-year curriculum is a bit boring and seems irrelevant because they make you study most of the subjects starting from CS to Biology. I would prefer it being more specific for each course starting from the first year. Semester exams are pretty difficult.

A really good place to develop your personality as a whole.

Faculty: The professors here are very qualified and have a diverse teaching methodology. They teach the whole syllabus in a systematic manner and follow the course handouts given initially. Sometimes the classes can be a bit difficult to understand due to increased level of difficulty and then people start getting bored and skipping classes. The semester exams are on the tougher side always and you have to think deeply or memorize in order to solve them. It's not a piece of cake anymore.
