Is BITS Hyderabad any good?
All the three BITS campuses follow the same curriculum, and the faculties are equally good at each of them. Moreover, all of them have a good infrastructure. All three of them provide excellent learning and development opportunities to students, and the peer groups at each of them are quite good.
The slight difference is that some influential firms only make recruitments from the Pilani campus. But many MNCs choose to recruit students from all three BITS campuses. On campus recruitments do not define the entire career path of any individual.
Some of my seniors at BITS performed really well in UPSC, some went on to pursue their MS, and others rose to high management positions through sheer hard work that they learned during those four years at BITS. The only drawback is that the fees are much higher compared to the NITs.
BITS Hyderabad is an excellent choice for your engineering studies. But everything ultimately depends on your dedication and hardwork.
What is better: EEE at BITS Hyderabad or CS at VIT Vellore?
As a former EEE student at BITS Goa, I would not recommend taking up EEE at BITS Hyderabad if you want a career in the field of software engineering.
Here are the reasons why-
- The coding involved in EEE is not enough. You’ll code in MATLAB, which is rarely used in the IT sector. You’ll have to devote extra time to learning Python, Java, and other languages.
- CS involves much more than coding, all of which you’ll miss out on.
- Elective courses like OS, DSA, Comp Arch have very limited seats, and not everyone gets to pick them. Also, you’ll get these courses by your third or fourth year. By then you’ll either be under too much pressure to complete your main syllabus or it’ll be too late because the placement season will have begun.
- Top IT companies don’t open for non CS candidates, and even for the companies that do, you’ll have to compete with CS students.
- BITS will give you all the necessary exposure, quality education and opportunities. However, as a non IT student you’ll still find difficulty in getting an IT job via campus placements.
Based on all these points, I would recommend choosing CSE at VIT for better job prospects in the IT sector.
Which college is better, NIT, Surathkal or BITS, Hyderabad? Why?
BITS Hyderabad is a private college. On the other hand, NIT Surathkal is a government college. So it won’t be correct to compare the two. Both have their own pros and cons.
I am listing below the strengths of each-
- NIT Surathkal-
- It has affordable fees which are much lower than BITS colleges.
- It has a strong alumni network as it was established in 1960. The alumni network of BITS colleges is quite strong too.
- It is situated in the beautiful western ghats and has a private beach of its own.
- The campus life is great. There are good extracurricular facilities.
- BITS Hyderabad
- As it is a private college, it has better infrastructure and faculty than NITK.
- It has a better hostel and mess facility.
- The peer groups are better at BITS Hyderabad. This is because it admits students purely on a merit basis.
- There is no minimum attendance criteria at BITS Hyderabad.
Both the colleges are well-renowned. You can choose either of them for your higher studies, based on your personal preferences.
Which college is better, NIT Surathkal, BITS Hyderabad, or NIT Trichy CSE (considering all factors)?
These three colleges can be compared with each other on several factors. I am listing below these factors-
- College tag- Both the tags- ‘BITSIAN’ and ‘NITIAN’ are reputable. Both will help you in your career. But as far as international recognition is concerned, a BITSIAN tag holds more value.
- Peer Group- BITS Hyderabad has a better crowd because of no reservation scheme. NITs have caste based reservation and home state quota.
- Infrastructure- BITS Hyderabad is the newest BITS, so it has a better infrastructure than the other two colleges. Its infrastructure is better than BITS Pilani as well. NITs are government institutions which receive government funding mostly for research, and rarely for infrastructural development.
- Placements - BITS Hyderabad offers good CSE placements, at par with NIT Trichy and NIT Surathkal. Its placement record is improving with time. However, these NITs offer better placements for core branches due to PSU visits.
- Faculty- The faculty is top notch at all these colleges. However, NITs experience a shortage of professors which causes problems for the students.
- Alumni network- All the BITS campuses have a common alumni network- BITSAA. BITSAA is the second largest alumni network after the IITs. It is bigger than the alumni networks of these NITs.
- Degree- All the BITS students are offered the same degree, irrespective of the BITS campus.
- Research- In terms of research, NIT Trichy and NIT Surathkal are a better option.
- Fees - The fees at BITS Hyderabad is quite high. NITs are government colleges, so their fees are low. BITS offer scholarships and scholar loans of 20 lakhs to students. You can definitely opt for NITs in case of financial constraints.
NIT Surathkal, NIT Trichy and BITS Hyderabad are all good colleges for your CSE degree. They are a much better choice than the new IITs. You can choose any of them based on your personal preference.
Is it possible to prepare for BITSAT in 4 months and make it into BITS Hyderabad or score a 350+?
4 months is a decent amount of time to prepare for BITSAT. However, you’ll have to make a proper study routine and stick to it.
I also had just 4 months at hand when I seriously sat down to study for BITSAT. By seriously I mean that by that time I had a fair enough grasp on basic concepts. I studied for long hours and covered the NCERT syllabus thoroughly. I read and reread each chapter, till it stuck in my mind, and regularly practiced mock tests. My mock test scores kept on improving with each practice session.
I had thought I wouldn’t make it into BITS, but I ended up getting BE Mechanical at BITS Hyderabad. So I would recommend you study with diligence and solve mock tests on a regular basis. If not 350+, you’ll definitely score decent enough marks to make it into BITS.
Which is better —BIT Mesra or BITS Hyderabad for cse?
For CSE, BITS Hyderabad is better. The course structure and curriculum are the same for all three of the BITS campus. The placements are also similar. It is the location that differentiates the two campuses. Being an IT hub, Hyderabad offers better live projects, internships, and placement opportunities. BITS Hyderabad placement highlights show the average CTC for CSE to be around INR 22 LPA.
What is the cancellation procedure of an admission at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad campus and the refund of the fee?
The cancellation policy has been kept the same at all three campuses.
You will be shortlisted for admission or put on the waiting list in the Integrated First Degree Programme on the basis of BITSAT. Then you are required to pay the fees in advance for the respective subject.
- If the application form already has specified the respective program you’re willing to pursue, you will have to pay the admission fee i.e 28,050/- and the first-semester tuition fees i.e. 1,13,300/- within the deadline. In case you are still on the waiting list, you will need to only pay the admission fee.
- However, if you’re offered admission but choose to remit by not reporting at the institute on the given date then you can forfeit the total fees, in case the seat remains vacant due to withdrawal. After a deduction of INR 1000, the remaining amount will be refunded.
- If you accept the admission offer and choose to withdraw after reporting at the campus on the due date, you will be able to only withdraw the first semester fees, worth INR 1,13,300.
- Now, due to the slide-up procedures, the seat remaining vacant will be attempted to fill up in the later iterations following the first.
- In case you are on the waiting list until even the final date, the collected fees will be refunded back within the specified date.
- If you choose to pay the admission fee, you cannot subsequently remit from the process that includes “sliding up”, which simply means opting for other options like reassigning a program or choosing a different campus than the one already enrolled at.
- During the remission of fees, you’re not permitted to stipulate any order or conditions, such as changing the preferences, or other relevant factors that come with it. It will be ignored if even mentioned. However, if you’re one of the shortlisted candidates, then the conditions stipulated might be applicable.
The institute, by all means, can refuse admission on varied criteria without assigning further reasons behind the process. Principally, the ultimatum provided by the Vice-Chancellor shall be considered the final decision, regardless of any factor whatsoever.

Which is better: BITS-Hyderabad or NIT Warangal?
In my opinion, NIT Warangal is better than BITS Hyderabad. It is a top NIT and branches like CSE, Electrical and ECE at it are comparable to the top IITs. I would in fact say that all the branches at NIT Warangal are good. In terms of facilities and infrastructure, both the colleges are comparable. However, you will get much more exposure at NITW.
NITW conducts seminars and workshops by IIT professors and other eminent professors from foreign universities. It has a better collection of books- both quantity-wise and quality-wise. In private colleges one can keep 2-4 books at a time, but in government colleges, there is no such limitation on book allotment. For placements too, NITW is better. It has a greater alumni network and better industry connect because it is much older than BITS Hyderabad.
The best option is to take up CSE at NIT Warangal for great career opportunities. But at the end of the day, your efforts will determine your future. Your college tag is important but what will matter more is how much effort you are ready to put in on your skill development.
