Ups and downs of BITS through some unknown insights.

Placements: In my course, according to the current data, almost 98.57% of students got placed even with the current recession era. The highest salary package offered is 84 LPA. The average salary package offered is 18.34 LPA, and the lowest salary package is not mentioned to us. Top recruiting companies like Google, Amazon, and Nvidia visit the college for placements. The internship is compulsory in our college, and our college itself provides us with it through a scheme called practice school.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi facility in our hostel is not good. The land cables work better than the Wi-Fi. Classrooms are neat and tidy. Hostels are clean, but there is a dumping ground near, which sometimes ends with a bad odour. The mess food is better than most of the colleges, and the canteen is affordable. Sports facilities are quite good and almost every sports facility is available. We all get medical insurance.

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 universities of the world. Questions are logically based instead of rote learning. Exams are quite difficult, which makes us more competitive.

Other: BITS is a recognised institute all over the country, just in comparison with the IIT. I chose this course because of the exposure I would get in this college. The best thing is the alumni network and the helpful seniors. I feel the fee is quite high, and if BITS can be made a little bit more affordable then it would be better. It regularly organises fests like technical fests and cultural fests which are quite large-scale and fun, Almost hundreds of other college members come to our campus in fests. We get a scholarship both on merit and merit-based.

5Placements5Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Worth it to take admission here.

Placements: Almost 90% of the students are placed through the campus recruitment process. The top recruiting company from my course is many product-based companies. The highest package from my course is 1 CR. The lowest package is 7 LPA, and the average package is 15 LPA. Almost 60% of the students got internships from our course.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure of this college are awesome. Wi-Fi is available throughout the college campus, classrooms, library, and labs. The quality of food available in the mess and canteen is top-notch. Medical facilities are also available 24/7, and sports and games are also good.

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.

Other: I chose this course because I am keenly interested in software systems. The best thing about my course is we can learn along with the course. The only thing about my course that needs to be improved is the scheduled classes. Events, fests, and the campus are of the best quality, no doubt.

Offered by BITS Pilani K K Birla, Goa Campus

4Placements4Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

There was a moderately good placement season in 2023.

Placements: Currently, the placement scenarios are not revealed, but top companies like Microsoft, Sprinklr, JPMC, Nomura, etc., offer multiple roles such as SDE, consultant, and analyst. Banks like Deutsche Bank recruit financial analysts. While the lowest salary goes to 6 Lacs and the highest to 50 Lacs, you can expect an average of 15 Lacs. I secured an internship at MultiGraphics Group through my branch, an opportunity many students have also obtained.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi, classroom labs, and library are of high standards, probably among the best compared to other institutions in our country. The quality of food is decent and manageable. Facilities such as sports and medical services are also very good and comfortable.

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.

Other: All the events are absolutely good.

5Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

One of the best engineering colleges in India.

Placements: The placements were amazing. The minimum package for my batch was 12 lakhs rupees, which was given to a student in the Chemical branch. The highest package this year was 40 lakhs rupees, which was given to a Computer Science student. Top companies were JP Morgan and Texas Instruments.

Infrastructure: The course and hostel are absolutely amazing, other than one big downside, which is the food. The food is horrendous, and you eat it just for the sake of staying alive. The paid canteens are good, but the mess is bad. All classrooms are air-conditioned, with Wi-Fi throughout the campus. The library has a wide range of books to cover every genre. Sports and games are widely encouraged, and there are multiple football grounds, as well as a gym and badminton/tennis courts.

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.

Placements: Placements are good. The average CTC was around 17 LPA (including all branches). Companies like Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Intel, Nvidia, AMD, Samsung, Nutanix, etc., do recruit here. The practice school makes placements better and helps students become industry-ready.

Infrastructure: We have great infrastructure at BITS Goa. The Goa campus is really beautiful, full of greenery, and Goa itself is also a very beautiful state. The campus is very clean, with almost no littering on the roads. Spread over 180 acres, it’s smaller than Pilani and Hyderabad, but you still have to walk a lot. Generally, first-year students are given double-occupancy rooms. Each room is equipped with a separate bed, table, chair, fan, windows, almirah, and whiteboards. Each hostel has a common room, a place where you can relax in AC, watch TV, play table tennis, chess, carrom, or foosball. Recently, washing machines have also been installed in each hostel.

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.

Other: The college is great, and people are great. And yes, BITS Pilani—it's magic.

90% placements in 2023.

Placements: My course has a placement rate of up to 95%, with the remaining students pursuing their passions or starting their own businesses. The highest domestic package offered is 60 LPA, and the highest international package is up to 3 crores. Internships are offered based on CGPA, and students who pass all their subjects are eligible to apply. Graduates of BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, have gone on to become CEOs of top companies. Companies like Tata and Suzuki hire from my course.

Infrastructure: Every classroom is a digital classroom, and wifi is available everywhere on campus. The library is huge and has numerous books on a variety of subjects and genres. The food is good and healthy, with a variety of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are also many food stalls where you can hang out with your friends. All sports have their own unique facilities on campus.

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.

Other: The course is provided and is based on a BITS score. If you are interested in your course, then it's fine; if not, you can do minors in the courses of your interest. There are also events held grandly every year.
