NB
Nitin Bhatia Posted On : March 21st, 2023
Studied at BITS Goa

According to the placement reports of BITS Goa, the average annual package for the B.E. Computer Science and M.Sc. Computer Science students was around 13-15 lakhs per annum for the year 2021. You can expect a huge list of companies to come to your campus, including top names such as Goldman Sachs, Samsung, Apple, and Google.

It's worth noting that salary should not be the only factor considered when evaluating job opportunities; factors like work-life balance, company culture, and growth potential can be equally important.

Jyoti Dasgupta Posted On : March 8th, 2022
studied at Delhi Public School, Guwahati (2020)

It depends on what you mean by ‘tier 1’ college. Usually, people fit the top 5 IITs and BITS Pilani in tier 1. Some people also fit the top 8 IITs and all the BITS campuses. 

According to the quality of academics, placements and facilities offered BITS Goa should be included in the same league of IIT Roorkee, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, and IIT BHU.

Which school should I choose, BITS Pilani Goa campus or IIT Gandhinagar?

VK
Vivek Kaushik Posted On : March 21st, 2023
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Gandhinagar (2018)

There are the following points that you need to keep in mind while choosing between BITS Pilani Goa campus and IIT Gandhinagar:

  • Choose your branch. When making this decision, it is crucial to consider what branch you want to pursue. Talk to people who have done CS or Electrical Engineering and gather information about both fields. 
  • Decide between IIT and BITS. BITS has a good alumni network, and its CS package is higher than IIT GN's Electrical Engineering package. However, IIT has a better brand value, especially if you plan to pursue higher education or move to the United States. If you want to go to the USA, choose IIT. If you plan to stay in India, BITS Goa is well recognized, and placements in CS are better at BITS than at IIT GN.
  • Chill out! If you are undecided about your future plans or your choice of college, don't worry too much about it. Choose a place where you can enjoy your B.Tech life. If you want to have fun, BITS Goa is the better option as it is located in Goa.

What are the best things for BITS Pilani Goa students to do on weekends?

SM
Subham Mukharjee Posted On : May 12th, 2022
B. E. Computer Science, BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2021)

One of the advantages of being BITS Goa students is that you can finally execute the Goa plans you made over the years. It is one of the tourist hotspots with many beaches, forts, museums, churches, temples, etc. 

You can book a taxi, go to a beach and have dinner with a large group at a shack. If you like exploring solo, you can rent a scooter and travel. There are options to rent self-drive cars and go on road trips.

Get to know the culture of the place, try the local delicacies, and hang out with friends by a beach. While in Goa, you will certainly don’t have shortage of things to do on a weekend.

How much should I score in BITSAT to get a decent branch in BITS goa?

KR
Kabita Roy Posted On : August 2nd, 2021
B.E. Electrical and Electronics Engineering, BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2020)

The BITSAT score you need for securing a decent branch in BITS Goa changes each year due to a variety of factors. The recent cut-off BITSAT scores for various courses at the BITS Pilani Goa campus is given below.

B.E Chemical 250
B.E Mechanical 280
B.E Electrical and Electronics 310
B.E Computer Science 352
B.E Electronics and Communication 322
B.E Electronics and Instrumentation 294
M.Sc Biological Sciences 250
M.Sc Chemistry 256
M.Sc Physics 274
M.Sc Mathematics 276
M.Sc Economics 295

Now it is always advisable to prepare for JEE (Advanced) more than BITSAT. This does not mean the Goa campus of BITS Pilani is bad or BITSAT is really easy. Many students actually keep BITSAT as a backup plan in case they fail to get IITs and I think it is a good strategy. Any day you should aim for IITs. But around 4-6 months before the exam you should know your potential and seriously consider whether you should give BITSAT or not.

As for the exam difficulty, it is often considered that BITSAT has a lower difficulty level than JEE (Mains). While that may be true but the time constraint, accuracy, and the competition from students should also be taken into account. You should take at least 10 practice BITSAT tests to nail your time management skills.

Finally, I would suggest that get a good grasp of mathematics and you can certainly excel at any entrance exam.

My son got a 2339 rank in the JEE Advanced and 362 in BITSAT. Which should he choose, IIT Bhubaneswar CSE dual degree or BITS Goa CS?

KS
Kalyan Sahu Posted On : June 16th, 2023
Lives in Bhubaneshwar

Among the two options, IIT Bhubaneswar CSE dual degree and BITS Goa CS, the latter seems to be a more promising option. Let me justify my stance in a better way.

The IIT Bhubaneswar dual degree has many flaws like

  • You will be wasting one year of your education during which you could have done your Masters from a more recognized institute and in the branch you like.
  • Deciding to do MTech in a branch you aren’t sure about is risky and you may end up regretting it later. You might want to do MBA and not MTech after your bachelor's but the dual degree restricts 

Financially too IIT Bhubaneswar dual degree is a poor decision. You will waste one year earning nothing and be paying extra fees all the more. BITS Goa CS m is better in almost all aspects like its alumni, start-up culture, placements, and campus facilities. So, I will recommend you choose BITS Goa over IIT Bhubaneswar.

Which is better, BITS Goa or NIT Calicut?

SD
Sunil Dutta Posted On : April 8th, 2021
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology, Calicut (2018)

This question sparks a debate among people. You might find some say that even biotechnology at NIT C is better than CSE at BITS Goa; all these are baseless claims. It is strongly suggested to look at the placement statistics before reaching a conclusion.

BITS Goa is way better than NIT Calicut. Forget biotechnology, even CSE at BITS Goa is better than CSE at NIT C.

Categories

BITS Goa

NIT Calicut

Course Fee

19.19 lakh

5.42 lakh

Placement Percentage

90%

89.72%

Highest CTC

19 LPA

18-19 LPA

Average CTC

12-13 LPA

15 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Intel, Qualcomm, Microsoft, Google, etc.

Qualcomm Technologies, HCL, Accenture, Goldman Sachs etc.

At NIT C, if you go for biotechnology, you will be placed through mass recruitment in companies like TCS, with a maximum salary of 3 lakhs. These companies have no connection with biotechnology. However, CSE at BITS, Goa can get you placed even at Google. This is definitely not a baseless claim, pre-placement offers and the number of GSOC selections are enough evidence for the same.

Comparing BITS Pilani and IIIT Hyderabad, BITS Pilani ≥ IIIT Hyderabad. The greater than symbol is only because of how old the institutes are. So finally this goes like BITS Goa ≥ IIIT Delhi ≥ BITS Hyderabad.

Since most of my friends studied at BITS Goa. It is suggested you go for it, as my friends had nothing but good things to say about the institute. According to them, it is the best institute for CS without any doubt.

  • BITS Goa has no reservation policies, the peers are quite competitive, so be prepared for that.

  • But this institute provides scholarships which is a great solution to this problem.
  • If we talk about the Computer Science department, you will get to learn a lot as it is the best program on Goa Campus.
  • Furthermore, BITS Pilani and Goa have the best culture when it comes to coding.
  • Besides academics, the campus is well maintained, the hostels are all hygienic and the food of mess is also appreciable.

Are freshers ragged at BITS Goa Campus?

AS
Ananya Singh Posted On : August 3rd, 2021
Studied Physics & Computer Science at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2021)

A friend of mine is studying at the BITS Goa campus. As per his experience, there is no ragging taking place at the BITS Goa campus.

There might be a fun introduction for the freshers, but it will not hurt anyone. As a fresher, my friend used to accompany his seniors to their rooms. Seniors are friendly in this institute. The only thing they might mind is freshers calling them sir, Bhaiya, and other names.

Ragging is an offense in BITS Goa like other colleges. The college adheres to all the Anti-Ragging laws by the government, UGC Regulations, an Anti-Ragging Committee, and Anti-Ragging Squads at the institute.
