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.
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.
There are the following points that you need to keep in mind while choosing between BITS Pilani Goa campus and IIT Gandhinagar:
BITS Pilani-Goa campus has a range of sports facilities available for its students, faculty, and staff. Some of the facilities include:
Overall, the BITS Pilani-Goa campus provides ample opportunities for its students, faculty, and staff to stay physically fit and active.
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.

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.
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
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.

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.

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.
