I don’t believe that all BITS Pilani campuses are equally ranked. They certainly have a few similarities such as the curriculum and policies but apart from that the campuses have many major differences. Here are a few components based on which I have ranked BITS Pilani campuses

• Placements: Placement-wise the ranking of BITS campuses is Pilani>Go>Hyderabad. BITS Pilani has the best companies and packages followed by Goa. Hyderabad has a relatively lesser number of companies and the pay is also less.
• Practice School: Under this program, students go through a six-month internship in many great companies like Amazon, Apple, Goldman Sachs, Flipkart, Nomura, etc., and there are hundreds of companies to choose from. The only difference in the campuses is that you can make it to the top companies by scoring a 9-pointer at the Pilani campus while a 7-pointer at the Hyderabad campus. This is mainly because Hyderabad students are made to do summer term courses to get a few extra points during the allotment process.
• Campus life: The Pilani campus is remotely located and the students love a challenging life here. But all the harshness of the campus makes them grow as a person. Goa and Hyderabad campuses enjoy prime locations and facilities thereby offering a different type of development. However, the Pilani students are more open-minded, flexible, and hardworking than students from other campuses.
• Education: Sadly, the quality of education is deteriorating in all the BITS campuses. The faculty pool is pathetic and the mean grade is deflating day by day.

So, research well, talk to alumni of all the campuses, and then make a well-informed decision.

As a second year student at BITS Hyderabad, I find myself eligible to answer your question.

The classrooms at our college are well furnished, spacious and air conditioned. The F102 and F105 lecture halls are huge in size. The seats are comfortable, and the lighting system is also quite good. 

The campus library is, in fact, better than those at the other two BITS campuses. The reading section is spacious, beautifully furnished and in the best condition. The auditorium is huge and mesmerizing. 

You will love to study at BITS Hyderabad, and won’t feel the lack of any facilities at all.

For CSE, BITS Hyderabad stands behind BITS Pilani and BITS Goa. Here are some reasons for the same-

• Environment- Being the newest among all three, BITS Hyderabad lacks in terms of peer and senior-junior interaction.

• Faculty- The department faculty of BITS Hyderabad and BITS Goa are comparable, but that of BITS Pilani stands superior for sure.

• Individual opportunities- In this respect, the CS departments of all three campuses treat their students equally, and everyone is given equal opportunities.

But on a national level, the CS department of BITS Hyderabad is quite good. Moreover, the college location is very suitable for internship and off campus placement opportunities. 

You can thus, consider choosing BITS Hyderabad for your B.E. CSE.

The BITS campuses intake B.E. students through three methods. These are-

• Through BITSAT- In this case, the admissions are based solely on the BITSAT score of a candidate. But the applicants must score >60% overall, and >75% in all three subjects i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Maths, in the 12th board exam.

• Through SATs- International students get an admission through their SATs score. But in this case, the fee is higher, and it needs to be paid in USD.

• Direct Admission- The class 12th topper (toppers if more than one student tops the exam) of each board is allowed direct admission into BITS, regardless of his/her BITSAT score. Such a student can pick any branch from across the three BITS campuses. 

Thus, it is possible only for a board topper to get into BITS Hyderabad without giving BITSAT. 

BITS Pilani Hyderabad never disappoints you, so don’t hesitate to choose BITS. Some highlighting factors about this renowned institute are given below

Peer Groups and Seniors –  As we know, BITS is one of the leading institutes in India, and they have some vibrant and intelligent students who never hesitate to help us. This is clearly evident from my peer groups and supportive seniors. BITS has an amazing culture here, which turns us into very good human beings.

Scholars – The BITS Pilani, Hyderabad campus, is gifted with experienced scholars who support the students vigilantly. They have innate knowledge about their core subjects, and we can approach them to clear our doubts both online and offline.

Clubs – Numerous clubs are available to the students, which conduct many programs every year. This culture will help us meet people who share common interests.

Attendance Policy – BITS Pilani has a flexible attendance policy. They do not need mandatory attendance to attend the exams like any other college. This is one of the main factors in the individual growth of every student who appeared here.

BITS Pilani is the best for academics, extra-curricular activities, placement support, and research facilities.

Before beginning with my answer, I would like for you to make a note that no mess food can ever compete with home food. So it is not worth it to compare the two.

Coming to BITS Hyderabad, the mess food is quite decent. There are two messes on the campus, and they serve both North and South Indian meals on most days. 

At first, you’ll be delighted by the variety of dishes served by the messes. But as time goes by, you’ll get bored of eating the same kind of food, served strictly according to the mess time table. Further, you’ll begin to miss your mom’s recipes, which will ultimately make you think that the food at the hostels is not good at all. Because of all this, you’ll start eating at the cafeteria or miss some meals altogether. 

Speaking in a more practical and evaluative fashion, the mess food at BITS Hyderabad is certainly better than many IITs and NITs. You’ll be served decent and satisfactory meals at the college.
