BITS Pilani, Computer Science

Reviewed on Nov 19, 2015

Remarks

College management is responsive and working. Its a good atmosphere they seek to create.

Entrance Preview

I took ,IIT JEE ADVANCED,JEE MAINS,BITSAT and scored 2463(AIR),11262(AIR),384(Marks) respectively in each of them. I wanted to do computer science and hence i chose BITS pilani.

Course Curriculum Overview

4.5

The course curriculum is meticulously designed. We have the liberty to choose from any course across varied disciplines as electives. Right now i have taken copywriting as an humanities elective. I wish to take machine learning in the next semester .

Internships Opportunities

For CS many companies and recruited almost 70 students out of 120. The general stipend offered was around 25k. It was a great experience for the students. Microsoft,amazon,etc companies offer internship.

Placement Experience

100% placement to all students of CS branch. Average figure goes around 18lacs and minimum was 11 lacs this year which increases every year.Amazon:24lacseBay : 25lacsvisa : 75 lacs(international).

College Events

OASIS : the cultural festival of BITS pilani is the second biggest festival of the country.Huge amount of participation from colleges is seen and it is the fest to attend. the atmosphere was great.APOGEE: its a growing technical fest with great workshops and seminars to learn from.

Fee Structure And Facilities

Expensive. Tuition fees : 100,000 per sem.mess bill : 3500 per month(lower limit)hostel fee : 7000 per semIn all a year at bits costs around 270,000 which is a bit expensive as compared to other colleges. Although the returns are great no doubt. Loans are easily available at banks.

Fees and Financial Aid

MCN : merit cum need scholarship. presenting income certificate below 5lacs gets scholarship . Amount is based on merit .works after every semester.

Campus Life

Gender ratios : 1:10. No hostel parties. Cultural societies are in abundance. There's no such thing racism or discrimination of an sorts on our campus.

Hostel Facilities

3.5

Hostel facilities are pathetic . Poor infrastructure and under renovated. Although the hostels are being renovated one by one.

External Expense: Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna

College seniors are very helpful. They can be easily approached to any help u need. The first week and campus is based on a thing termed as 'interactions'. In this seniors interact with the first years and share knowledge of the campus activities and other general stuff about campus.

Exam Structure

Chilled out labs. Semester is divided into internals,mid sems and compres(end sems). The internals range from happening every week to a month gap in between.

Faculty

Faculty was good,approachable and helpful. Although the teaching skills are not that great. We have to understand most of things on our own. Standards are good. Most of them are Ph.ds and working on interesting fields of research.

Practical Tech Education with a Tight-Kint Community Feel

Likes

I like my hostel, accommodation is very nice
mess food is very tasty , scrumptious and homelike
the college is surrounded by greenery and breath taking nature!

Dislikes

The scorching desert heatwaves in the summer and chilling winter smog make walking across the vast, vehicle-free campus exhausting for a big chunk of the academic year.
Mandatory interdisciplinary projects and strict attendance policies leave little breathing room for students wanting to focus strictly on self-driven coding, competitive exams or independent side projects.
The campus is situated far off the highway in the industrial backdrop of Neemrana, there is virtually no social or city life right outside the gates.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The curriculum is industr-aligned with strong project-based learing and a mandatory final-year internship. Exams feature well-placed mid and end terms, though early theory subjects need more practical coding.

The various options for sports and other outdoor activities.
The EAT system, which is better and healthier option for ACs.

A few meals on the mess menu are not that good.
Lack of normal-temperature water options.

UNI OF FUTURE

Likes

Exposure via many known guests and personalities and experts of various fees that interact and share their opinion regarding many things with students.
Many clubs like shooting ,football,chess that are taken seriously here along with facilities for each of these sports
Opportunity to become volunteer for various fests organizing groups.

Dislikes

Water here is harsh in hostel, which causes a bit of hair fall.
Except for rooms and academic blocks heat during afternoon times is great if there are no clouds sometimes. Rest of times due to many trees its cool.
Strict gatepass system which ensures security of students but at same time troublesome for those who just wanna roam .

Placement Experience:

There are many exceptions here regarding placements and employbility. For interships students mainly start from their 3rd year but i know one student which is my senior that got an intership in their second year only since they had specific skills and colledge helped developing thier leadership quality and getting them the job

College infrastructure is very good as compared to other colleges
There are sports ground with good facilities
Classes are very great and seats are very comfortable

Dislikes

Overall the campus is good but is very small in size
Less events as compared to other colleges
Focuses on marks rather then practical knowledge

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is well structured and designed for students to learn the subject in detail and to know about topics in detail and make sure to understand things clearly before implementing them in real life. There are certain areas for improvement but they will keep get better. Timetable should be made such that students get break in between the classes so that they can be less exhausted throughout the day

College review-the reality

Likes

What is appreciated about college is their focus on academics not every private college focus on academics but they do and it's great if we compare to other private colleges.
The placements aren't that good but they try hard to get you placed so yes the companies do visit the most visiting companies are celebal,tcs
The campus is just fine it have different blocks for first year and others also have two garden to hangout and a basket ball court.

Dislikes

There isn't a very good college life like as I said they are mainly focusing on academics so events aren't that good as they can be
Campus isn't big enough so you barely get any place to roam around with your friends
Placement aren't very high it's around 5lakh ctc which is low

Placement Experience:

The placements cell try their best to get as many students placed as they can.many companies visit us including celebal, tcs and I don't know about the percentage but it's pretty good not everyone will get the placement but yes who have time to their studies will definitely get one.the average package is around 5lakh per anum ctc it can go upto 25 to 30.lakh based on your knowledge entirely

Likes

The library that is open for 24/7 for students.
The greenary and the calm circumstances in the campus that always keeps you refreshing.
The hostel facilities are very good. It's very professional.

Dislikes

There is some extra pressure of assignments and study in the university.
It's mandatory to give the exam that is 75% attendance.
The faculties are very friendly but strict also.

Placement Experience:

Obviously there is a campussing process that gives the students the opportunity to get their desired job. You can also go off campus to get bigger opportunity, but it will be on your head only that means it's a risk. But the average placement provided by the university is 6 lakhs and the highest one is 72 lakhs per annum.

BITS Pilani delivers ; provided the fees fits your budget

The exposure given for finance and Entreprenurship in BITS Pilani is well over what an average engineering college might provide you . They offer a minor option using which one can sit in finance placements with companies like UBS Deutsche Bank , Jane Street and many more .The admission process for BITS includes the BITSAT exam which is an MCQ based exam . From 2023 there have been 2 attemtps of the same ,earlier there used to be only one .However one thing to keep in mind is the BITSAT exams occur right alongside the JEE Advanced examinations as well the results .I personally gave my bitsat the day my advanced results were announced...Read More

I chose BITS Pilani over other colleges due to its academic flexibilitym vibrant culture, zero reservation and merit based admission process. I had confirmed admissions from other colleges such as DTU but I opted for BITS primarily because of it Practice School program and the autonomy it offers in shaping your academic journey. The admission process is through the BITSAT exam, an online test includes Physics, Chemistry and Maths and English and Logical Reasoning. There is no reservation policy. The cutoff for top branches is usually 340+. The entire process is smooth and conducted online....Read More
