Hi Nishtha,
Both the colleges are equally good for pharmacy. At both the campuses, you will get ample research opportunities, well-equipped labs and pretty good international collaborations that you can pursue. Now the deciding factors can be location, food preferences and other amenities. If you are having your family nearby to Hyderabad, I would suggest you go for Hyderabad Campus.
Best of luck.

Hi Shadman,
Firstly, BITS-Pilani doesn't have its campus in New Delhi. Secondly, the eligibility criteria for appearing in the BITSAT entrance examination is as below:
The candidate should have obtained a minimum of aggregate 75% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects (if he/she has taken Mathematics in BITSAT or a minimum of aggregate 75% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology subjects (if he/she has taken Biology in BITSAT in 12th class examination, with at least 60% marks in each of the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics / Biology subjects. So, as per your marks you are not eligible for BITSAT. However, don't feel disheartened, and try for other premier engineer colleges which doesn't have this criteria. Appear for JEE Mains and try to get into colleges like NITs, DTU, VIT, etc.
Best wishes.

Hi Suhani,
The best suited option is the college that you have taken admission. As per your IPCUT rank, you may not get CSE/ECE in the top engineering colleges of IP University (Delhi) like USIT, MAIT, MSIT, etc. Also, at your BITSAT score, you won't get any BE or integrated first degree M.Sc course. So, the best option in that case, could be to get a drop once, and again prepare to score better in BITSAT or other engineering entrances. However, Miranda House is a good college and has got quite accomplished reputation. So, I guess you have taken a right decision and wish you all the best for your future endeavors.
Best wishes.
