What is better, BITS Pilani or IIT Roorkee?

It is difficult to say which is better, BITS Pilani or IIT Roorkee, as they are both highly respected institutions in India. Both universities have strong programs in engineering, technology, and science.

However, BITS Pilani is known for its focus on undergraduate education, while IT Roorkee is known for its research programs. Yet if I was to choose one, I would have chosen BITS Pilani for BTech

• You are free to opt for minors in finance or humanities and even take subjects from different branches of your interest provided that you clear the minimum credits for an engineering degree in the branch you are pursuing currently. 
• The attendance rules are very flexible giving students time to focus on their interests or even become an entrepreneur.
• You get the opportunity to get employed in a top-notch industry of your choice apart from the placement offer from the institute as an internship in the final semester where chances of getting a job offer are very high.
• The Placement scenario is much better at BITS Pilani than at IIT Roorkee

However, if you are someone who is interested in MTech in core branches or is inclined towards research work, then IIT Roorkee has a better research culture. Moreover, the extremely high fees at BITS Pilani might be a demotivating factor for many making IIT Roorkee a much better choice.
