Why do students at BITS Pilani, Goa lack "technical skills"?
Firstly, The students from BITS Pilani, Goa, got exposed to club activities in non-technical fields in the first year itself, which played a major role in decreasing their interest in the core subjects and starting to cross over to other nontechnical skills. They only understood their exact passion for the core subject after doing the compulsory branch courses in the third year. And they finally started to build up their technical skills in the last year. This tendency only leads to a lack of experience in the technical field.
Secondly, most of the students here are not actually passionate about their courses because cut-offs decided their careers. This lack of interest decreases productivity.
Thirdly, the students give more importance to the CGPA and have the tendency to mug up every topic without having a deep understanding. Of course, a CGPA is good for higher education. But most of the students end up lacking technical skills in their field due to this tendency.
And there are so many other reasons, including a lack of course projects and electives, an increase in competitive coding culture, and so on.
How many marks should one get to have access to CSE in BITS Goa?
In BITS Goa, admission to the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program is based on the candidate's performance in the BITSAT exam, which is conducted by the institute.
