BITS Pilani MTech fees for a year are around INR 747300. Given below is the detailed fee structure for the MTech program offered by BITS Pilani. 

BITS Pilani fees are extremely high so students from financially weak backgrounds can consider taking loans.

BITS Pilani MTech admission is done on the basis of its own online admission test called BITSHD. BITS Pilani offers the following PG-level courses Master of Engineering and Master of Pharmacy. These courses are offered under various specializations and are of two-year duration. 

You can fill out the application forms for admission to these courses in the month of April every year.

BITS HD is conducted in two categories, Test 1 and Test 2. Test 1 is compulsory for all students willing to pursue PG programs while Test 2 is for all PG-level programs except for ME/MTech in Sanitation Science, Technology and Management, and Software Systems. Separate tests are conducted for these 3 courses. BITS does not admit students on the basis of GATE scores. 

Here are s few pieces of advice I would give to a first-year student at BITS Pilani

• Don’t develop preconceived ideas about anyone or anything, in general,
• Your JEE or BITSAT rank is of no use here and everyone here is equal
• Your style and clothes don’t matter a lot here. 
• You will experience a new kind of life if you participate in clubs and departments.
• You will get used to the messy food so bear with it.
• You will miss your friends and the memories you created here so make sure you are enjoying your life and not focusing only on your studies
• Don’t miss your first Oasis
• Go on trips frequently and hang out with your friends as much as possible provided your studies are not being affected

Lastly, keep in touch with your college friends!

Whether you should go for MS from BITS Pilani or not depends on your individual goals and purposes.

If you are pursuing MS simply to broaden your knowledge base, then this program is a good option. Although there are many MOOCs available for free, like Coursera, Udacity, and EdX. But if you want to pursue a formal degree because of lack of discipline then this program will serve you best.

However, if you are pursuing this program to enhance your job prospects and opportunities then I am against you joining it. Job opportunities depend a lot more on your network than academics, while job prospects depend on your skills. 

The ultimate decision is based on your personal goals and interest so choose wisely!

People in India are very brand conscious. This is exactly why most engineering aspirants can be seen flocking to IITs. IIT is the dream college for them and their sheep mentality does not let them look beyond it. I have met many people from BITS who claim that choosing BITS over IIT was one of the wisest decisions of their life.

BITS Pilani is a well-reputed technical institute. BITS Pilani ranking by NIRF is 20 out of 200 colleges in India in 2023. Every BITS campus has top-notch infrastructure and placement scenarios making it one of the best institutes that enjoys global recognition as well. 

Here are a few facts pertaining to BITS Pilani that might convince you of its worth

• BITS and OITs make up the maximum number of students going abroad for exchange programs and summer internships.
• BITS has no attendance policy so you can attend or skip classes on your own will.
• BITS has no reservation policy and thus admissions are solely on the basis of merit resulting in a better quality crowd.
• BITS infrastructure and facilities usually comprises international equipment.
• Connect 2.0 ensures students from one campus attend guest lectures from the other campus.

So BITS Pilani enjoys a good reputation both nationally and internationally owing to its flexible curriculum and the excellent opportunities that it offers.

No, it’s prohibited to install ACs or even coolers in BITS Pilani hostels. There are 2 main reasons for this. Firstly ACs will cost very much and the electricity bills will be high. Secondly, it will be very difficult to provide ACs for around 3000 students inside the campus. 

Honestly, you will get used to the heat after the initial struggle and will not even find the lack of ACs a big issue.

It is indeed very challenging to get a branch change at BITS Pilani after the first year. I will never recommend anyone to come here with a branch change in mind as it solely depends on your luck and immense hard work. 

The CGPA cutoff here is very high, and only geniuses are capable of changing their branches. 

Even if there are a few subjects you are weak at your chances become minimal. You will have to work as hard as 7-8 hours daily and even that won’t guarantee a branch change. You will have to sacrifice everything including sports, your passion, and sleep. 

So I will advise you to think better and go to another college if you are not getting your preferred branch here.
