Should I prefer BITS-Goa or BITS-Hyderabad for an M.E. in computer science through the BITS HD exam?

SM
Senjuti Mukharjee Posted On : June 16th, 2022
M.E Computer Science, BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus

For an M.E. in Computer Science, you should prefer BITS Hyderabad. The placements are slightly better for the Hyderabad campus. The city houses a lot of IT and Electronics companies, so it's easier to get good exposure and placements. The recent highlights of BITS Hyderabad placement show the median CTC to be INR 12 LPA. Each year almost 95% of students get placed from the branch.

Which is a better choice between CS at BITS Goa and IT at IIIT Allahabad?

SD
Shweta Das Posted On : March 24th, 2021
Studied in Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad (2018)

CSE at IIIT Allahabad wins hands down when the choice is between IIIT-A and BITS Goa. Both institutes have the same coursework for CSE, but IIIT-A offers it for one-third the fee of BITS Goa. Most of the students opt for BITS just for the brand name. The faculty at the BITS campus is not as good as that of IIIT Allahabad as it is funded by MHRD while BITS is a private institute. 

IIIT-A is popular for its coding culture. IT is one of the flagship courses offered there and placement records are at their best. Placement in the software domain is any day better at IIITs when compared to BITS. 

The following table shows a brief overview of the institutes:

Particulars

IIIT-A

BITS Goa

Entrance exam

JEE Main

BITSAT

Cut-off (Round -1)

374-4278

374(closing)

Tuition fee

Placement rate

97%

96%

Highest CTC offered

39 LPA

43 LPA

Average CTC offered

11.47LPA

IIIT Allahabad is the best choice among the two with good placement records, perfect campus, amazing faculties, and facilities. Being a government-affiliated institute has its own merits when compared to BITS Pilani Goa.

Should I prefer NIT Surat CS or BITS Goa EEE or CS?

AP
Akshay Prajapati Posted On : March 21st, 2023
Studied at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus

There are several reasons why BITS Pilani Goa Campus CS is considered better than NIT Surat CS. Here are some of the main reasons:

  • Better Infrastructure: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has a world-class infrastructure with modern facilities and amenities that provide students with a comfortable and conducive learning environment. On the other hand, NIT Surat's infrastructure, though decent, is not as advanced as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • Better Alumni Network: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has a vast and active alumni network that provides students with excellent networking opportunities and career guidance. NIT Surat's alumni network, while present, is not as well-established or connected as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • Better Tag: BITS Pilani Goa Campus is a highly reputed and well-known institution in India and around the world. It is recognized for its academic excellence and has a strong brand value. In comparison, NIT Surat is not as well-known or recognized as BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • Better Teachers: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has some of the best faculty members in the country who are highly qualified, experienced, and dedicated to teaching. NIT Surat's faculty, while competent, is not as well-regarded as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • Better Coding Culture: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has a strong coding culture, with numerous coding clubs, events, and hackathons that encourage students to develop their coding skills and innovate. NIT Surat, while also promoting coding, does not have as vibrant a coding culture as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • No Ragging: BITS Pilani Goa Campus has a strict anti-ragging policy, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all students. In contrast, NIT Surat has had some cases of ragging in the past.
  • Better Co-Curriculars and Extra-Curriculars: BITS Pilani Goa Campus offers a wide range of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, including sports, cultural events, and technical clubs. NIT Surat also offers such activities, but the range and quality of these activities are not as good as those offered by BITS Pilani Goa Campus.
  • Better All-Round Development: BITS Pilani Goa Campus focuses on the overall development of students, with a holistic approach that emphasizes academic, personal, and professional growth. NIT Surat also aims for this, but the approach and emphasis are not as comprehensive as that of BITS Pilani Goa Campus.

Overall, while NIT Surat is a good institution, BITS Pilani Goa Campus CS is considered a better option due to its superior infrastructure, faculty, alumni network, coding culture, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, and overall focus on student development.

Which is better, electrical at BITS, Pilani, Goa or NIT, Calicut?

AS
Abhinav Sengupta Posted On : April 15th, 2021
B.E (Hons) Chemical Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani - Pilani Campus (2017)

If you are financially stable, then you should prefer BTS Goa. NIT C has gotten worse in the following years. 

In NIT C, the students of some branches are getting back and the percentage of those back students are almost 50%. The environment of NIT C is hard to sustain and after being a Govt. Deemed University the faculty and students do whatever they feel like. Like one of the professors was given a warning after he was found guilty because of sexual harassment. 

NIT is known nationwide for the quality of students. It's not the Institute that makes a good student, it's rather the students that make an Institute good. The same is the case with NITs. If you want to join NIT, choose NIT Surathkal.

So, BITS is also a better option as compared to NIT Calicut which is as prestigious as IITs. One of the locations of BITS is Goa, which is indeed a dream destination for engineers. You will enjoy studying there. 

NIT Calicut has the cons mentioned above but not all the faculties are the same. Some of them are highly educated and decent.

Which is better, metallurgy at NIT Warangal or an MSc in Biology at BITS Goa?

KS
Kalyan Shastri Posted On : August 16th, 2023
Lives in Warangal

Both Metallurgy at NIT Warangal and MSc in Biology at BITS Goa are great programs offering a plethora of opportunities and exposure to its students. But the choice between the two is a very personal matter as both the branches are very diverse in the opportunities they offer. So

  • Go for NIT Warangal if you are interested in Metallurgy
  • Go for BITS Goa if you are ready to Study Biology along with BE Degree.

However, you need to bear in mind the fact that BITS Goa is expensive and the fees is very high around 25 lakhs while NIT Warangal's total fees are less than 10 Lakhs.

What should I choose BITS Goa or NIT Surathkal for chemical engineering?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

One of my friends recently took a drop year just to get BITS Goa. It has always been his dream college and he is glad he left NIT for BITS Goa. Several factors combined helped him take this bold step. I have mentioned the core reasons below

  • Reputation: NIT Surathkal is considered among the top 3 NITs and is a very old institute. However, NTs are not at par with BITS in terms of reputation. Some might claim that BITS Goa is a new college but in reality, it's just an extension of the main campus.
  • Value of Degree: BITS Goa awards a BITS Pilani degree which is highly valued and not a BITS Goa degree.
  • Faculty: From what I have heard, NIT Surathkal Chemical Engineering faculty is worse than NIT Warangal and NIT Trichy. Most of the professors are inexperienced and unprofessional. In BITS, however, frequent faculty exchanges take place across campus. So, the faculty is common for all three campuses. There are even lectures from faculties of different campuses through a program called BITSS Connect. 
  • Peer group: BITS has a very intellectual and refined crowd much better than NITs mainly because the college has no reservations policy, unlike NITs where seats are reserved by various quotas.
  • Placements: Core placements for branches like Chemical are almost the same everywhere. Usually, packages depend on your skills and the reputation of the college. Since BITS has a better brand value, it attracts better packages and recruiters. Additionally, BITS provides internship opportunities to its students called the practice school. 
  • Academics:  BITS has a well-structured curriculum and a flexible campus life. There is a zero attendance policy however the tutorials in the class lectures form a part of the GPA. The best part here is the flexibility to choose your own courses and even timetable at your convenience. NITs lack such facilities and lack academic flexibility as well.

I think these points summarize well the fact that BITS Pilani is a far better choice than NIT Surathkal.
