Entrance Preview :
I gave IIT-JEE, AIEEE, WBJEE, BITSAT and Sikkim CET. I didnt get a rank in IITJEE. My rank was 16848 in AIEEE, 542 in WBJEE, scored 298/450 in BITSAT and was topper in CET. I had offers from good colleges across the country but chose BITS Pilani as it is best and at par with IITs.
Course Curriculum Overview :
Course curriculum is fantastic. Apart from compulsory disciplinary courses (CDCs), we have to study three humanities and five open electives. Humanities consists of subjects like current affairs, modern political concepts, bhagwad gita, sankaras thoughts, etc. Open electives can be literally any subject. A mechanical student can take up courses from computer science department.
Internships Opportunities :
Internship is the best part at BITS Pilani. College guarantees you two internships. First is after second year and second is during final year. College has tie ups with almost all the big companies, emerging startups, and top research organisations across the country. The first internship has no stipend while the second one has an average of Rs. 20,000.
Placement Experience :
Placements is top notch, with about 80%. Most IT, Finance companies come to our college and it boasts about 200-300 tie ups. The figure isnt 100% due to many students opting for higher studies.
Fee Structure And Facilities :
Fees might look a bit steep but trust me it is worth it. Each semester costs about 1.4 lakhs. Compared with IITs and NITs it is expensive but with regards to private institutes it seems way good.
Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :
Yes, scholarship is the big highlight. Students are offered 80%, 40% and 25% scholarship depending on merit. Further, institute has tie ups with all the big banks for loan facility.
Campus Life :
Campus life is one of the most happening. Various clubs like Robotics, Music, Dance , Drama, etc. Sports teams like Cricket, football, tennis are well maintained. College teams participate in various national events like Robocon, SAE, Cansat, etc.
Alumni/Alumna :
Alumni network is very strong, with presence across the globe. Be it help in jobs, MS, Civil services, etc the alumni network is always there for us. BITS has seen great engineers, entrepreneurs, politicians, etc emerge out of it.
Exam Structure :
Exams consist of Test 1, Test 2 and comprehensive exams spaced at a gap of 1.5 months. Apart from these the lab components are spread throughout the year. Overall, it is a chilled out affair as you can always avail "makeup".
Faculty :
Faculty is awesome. There are strict standards and the faculty must go through various tests and levels of interview to get selected. I believe being a BITSIAN student is easier than being a BITSian faculty.
