How is life at BITS Hyderabad?

Bidita Ghose Posted On : December 22nd, 2023
Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Like any other institution, life at BITS Hyderabad is full of ups and downs.

The journey towards becoming an engineering professional is filled with moments of self doubt, loneliness, fear, anxiety and the urge to go back to one’s family. There are both good and bad moments in this journey, and one feels a lot of new emotions.

BITS Hyderabad has a really good student activity centre (sports centre), a diverse crowd, intelligent and enthusiastic people all around, an affordable all night canteen, good clubs, amazing departments, fests, a pretty good infrastructure and learned professors. 

All of this makes for a rich campus life, but you’ll have to be prepared to face the challenges that come along with all this.

Which one would be better for Mechanical Engineering: NIT Surathkal or BITS Hyderabad campus?

AG
Aikantika Ghosh Posted On : September 20th, 2020
Studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2017)

Both the colleges mentioned here are one of the most reputed colleges in the country and have excellent academic as well as placement records available. BITS Hyderabad offers a BE and NIT Surathkal offers a BTech program in mechanical engineering.

Admission- BITS Hyderabad conducts their own entrance exam called BITSAT while NIT Surathkal admits through JEE Main only for the BTech Mechanical Engineering program. The total fees for BITS Hyderabad and NIT Surathkal are 16.73 LPA and 5.39 LPA.

The closing cut off for Mechanical Engineering at these institutes are as follows.

  • BITS Hyderabad – 275 in BITSAT

  • NIT Surathkal – 8483 in JEE Main

Placement-

BITS Hyderabad- has been quite consistent in their placement statistics, also as the University is attached to Birla Institutes, the industrial exposure is very practical. The highest package received this year is 39.5 LPA and the average package was of 11 LPA.

NIT Surathkal – The placement rate of NIT Surathkal is very impressive. The highest package bagged by the students this year is 39 LPA and the average package was around 14.15 LPA. The top recruiters are Hero, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Citi Bank, Deutsche Bank.

Some of the key points of these colleges are given below.

BITS Hyderabad:

  • The institute focuses on practical knowledge and updates its curriculum from time to time to make the best out of it.

  • Presently, BITS Hyderabad is having an expansion phase and plans to add a built-up area of almost 50% of the present area.

  • Furthermore, it already has 65 research projects that are ongoing in the campus, most of which are supported by the prominent funding agencies from across India and abroad.

NIT Surathkal:

  • It is an Institute of National Importance. Situated in Mangalore, this institution offers numerous PG and UG programs in various fields of science, engineering, and management.

  • It consists of 11 support centers and 14 academic departments.

  • NITK Surathkal was previously ranked 6th amongst the country's top engineering colleges by Outlook India, 16th by India Today, and 14th by The Week.

So coming to the question if the intention is to explore college life at fullest without having any financial constraints and want a good industrial exposure then BITS Hyderabad would be a better option. On the other hand, if one wants a campus that has an equal reputation and almost a quarter in fee structure then NIT Surathkal would be the better option.

What are the cultural differences between BITS Goa and BITS Hyderabad?

SR
Swarupa Roy Posted On : December 26th, 2023
BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus

I am currently studying at BITS Hyderabad, and a friend of mine completed his studies from BITS Goa recently. So I can give you a clear picture of the cultural differences between the two campuses-

  1. Crowd- Around 10-20% of the BITS Hyderabad crowd consists of local Hyderabad people. So, many hostelites travel back to their homes during the weekend. This has a negative effect on the extracurricular front. But otherwise, the peers and even seniors are really helpful and interactive. As for BITS Goa, it has a more diverse crowd, and its fests and events are more fun.
  2. Connectivity- The Hyderabad campus is much like the Pilani one in this respect because the main city is 1 to 2 hours away. The Goa campus is located in the main city, and Goa being a small state, you can easily access the airport and other facilities from the college.
  3. Administration- The BITS Goa administration is much more strict, and students are regularly checked for alcohol, etc. On the other hand, the BITS Hyderabad administration is much more relaxed in comparison.
  4. Campus- The Hyderabad campus is bigger and has more students ( the Goa campus does not have Civil and Pharmacy departments). The hostel rooms at Hyderabad are slightly more spacious, and the campus library is impressively well-built. The campus contains a rock garden, which is really beautiful. So in terms of campus and infrastructure, Hyderabad is a winner.
  5. Dual Degree- In a dual degree program, if your scores are extremely low, you might end up in Civil or Pharmacy at BITS Hyderabad, and Chemical at BITS Goa.

This is all the important information about the cultural differences between the two campuses. You can choose either of them for your studies based on what suits your personal preferences.

What should be my preference for the following colleges if I have no specific branch in mind: new IITs, old IITs, BITS Pilani, BITS Goa, BITS Hyderabad, BIT Mesra, BIT Sindri, local NIT, VIT, Shibpur,

AS
Aishwarya Shastri Posted On : September 5th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

It is difficult to give an appropriate solution if you are not opting for a specific branch. All the colleges you have mentioned are well-reputed institutes in India that offer quality education and placement support to their students. The comparison can only be made based on the branches. Some institutes, like IITs, are good at CSE, while others have efficient departments in mechanical or Electrical Engineering. The ranking and placement vary every year.

If you get a chance to pick BITS Goa in mechanical engineering and BITS Pilani in Civil Engineering, then opt for Mechanical engineering, which opens up more opportunities and placement support than civil engineering.

What should I prefer, IIIT Delhi for ECE or BITS Hyderabad for mechanical?

AB
Akriti Banerjee Posted On : October 7th, 2023
lives in New Delhi

I will suggest you consider your own interests first rather than the placement scenario. For this, you can go through the course structure of both branches. If you still are unable to determine the right choice for yourself, go through the following pros and cons of both institutes

IIIT Delhi 

Pros:

  1. IIIT Delhi has a more Research-oriented curriculum and has an interdisciplinary approach to the curriculum.
  2. The packages offered are at par with most tier-1 colleges like DTU, NSUT, decent NITs, etc.
  3. The lab facilities are modern and top-notch

Cons

  1. IIIT Delhi has a very small campus.
  2. The college is relatively new so the alumni network is very weak.

BITS Pilani

Pros:

  1. Excellent noncore placements especially management/finance.
  2. The curriculum is very flexible and students of all branches get to choose minors in Data Science, Finance, Robotics, etc. 
  3. The college has a huge brand name and alumni pool which adds credibility in promotions and pay grades.
  4. The college has the PS system, which gives every student 8 months (6+2) of internship in top companies solely based on your preference and CGPA. 
  5. The institute has a very charming campus life

Cons:

  1. No compulsory attendance policy which might affect those who aren’t very self-motivated.
  2. A lot of participation in festivals and cultural events is required which although good, might affect your academics negatively. 

Ultimately, choose what signs with your preferences.

What should I chose between BITS Pilani Hyderabad ECE and IIT Kharagpur Manufacturing science and engineering?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : March 27th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

This answer can be answered in 2 aspects; branch wise and Institute wise.

Branch-wise, ECE is way ahead of Manufacturing Science and Engineering and has a wider scope after graduation. ECE students are hired by both electronics and software companies. Moreover, ECE is a major stream whereas Manufacturing is just a sub-stream under Mechanical Engineering.

Specifically talking about colleges only, I would suggest you choose IIT KGP which has a stronger brand name and legacy than BITS Pilani Hyderabad. Its reputation is not just limited to India and has great scope outside India as well. It gets better and more companies than BITS during campus placements.

One major point of difference is the location of both institutes. Hyderabad has a much superior location than IIT Kharagpur thus offering better college life and exposure. IIT KGP is remotely located and lacks the necessary industry touch and exposure.

You have to travel long distances just to eat or do shopping. You will miss out on city life and the opportunities it has to offer. While the campus is great, you have to stay inside as the world outside is desolate. Spending 4 years without much exposure might limit your opportunities.

Hyderabad on the other hand has everything city life has to offer apart from being a major IT hub. This makes it possible to apply for campus jobs as well which is not possible in the case of IIT KGP.

In the end, it’s you who has to make a decision. Go where your heart is inclined the most be it ECE or Manufacturing at IIT or BITS. Just make sure to make a decision that will not make you regret it later.

Which college is better- NIT Warangal, IIT Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad, CBIT or BITS Hyderabad?

PV
Prarthi Vyas Posted On : May 16th, 2023
Studied at IIT Hyderabad

Let’s do a comprehensive comparison of IIT Hyderabad, IIIT Hyderabad, and NIT Warangal (as my knowledge is limited to these 3 only)

IIT Hyderabad

  • It has a great learning environment and students are very focused on academics and research. The fractal system is a cherry on top.
  • The faculty is dedicated and very young, some of them aged less than 40. 
  • The system of fractal academics imparts a diverse learning experience as students are allowed to choose a course of their choice taught by their favorite professor. You can take courses in liberal arts like painting, learning foreign languages, pottery, etc. 
  • The course structure is flexible and one can do a minor or even a second major in other departments.
  • Being close to the metropolitan city, Hyderabad, IIT Hyderabad attracts the best recruiters and faculty. 

NIT Warangal

  • It’s one of the first RECs established and is a highly esteemed institute with experienced faculty and notable alumni.
  • Many professors lack a systematic course plan and are unable to complete the course in time. Some of them aren’t approachable and students are unable to get their queries solved. 
  • A lot of on-campus politics goes on at NIT Warangal.
  • You get the opportunity to join NCC as well. There is a big outdoor stadium, gym and facilities for sports. 
  • The student body committee is very powerful and you can even protest openly against the director.

IIIT Hyderabad: It’s considered a good option for computer science students.

BITS Hyderabad: It is also a decent institute with students enjoying good opportunities and freedom.

CBIT: It is one of the best private institutes in AP and Telangana. However, it cannot be compared to NIT Warangal or others, as the exposure and opportunities of NIT are way better.

In my opinion, the ultimate preference order should be,

IIT Hyderabad> IIIT H>=BITs H>= NIT W>CBIT
