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.

the class timings are really flexible that is maximum 5 hours in a day
there are a lot of fun events in college every other day
the male to female ratio is approx 1:1 and both genders jam well with each other

Dislikes

the money factor i would say is one thing which doesnt add up if placements are considered
the freedom provided here might not be the best for everyone u need to have self control over yourself
people here can get too entitled and the pda inside might bother you but you will find your people

Course Curriculum Overview:

the cirriculum is designed in a way such that most of the outdated and uselss things are removed this year and the labs of each subjects help you well enough to dive deeper into the application of the subject . some areas for improvement can be removing unnecessary subjects like manufacturing process for cse students . main exams are held every 3 months and the difficulty is moderate

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.

MY IMPRESSIONS ON THE UNIVERSITY OF FUTURE

Likes

The thing I liked the most is the nature around/in the campus.
The various options for sports and other outdoor activities.
The EAT system, which is better and healthier option for ACs.

Dislikes

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

Placement Experience:

NIIT UNIVERSITY placements rates are 100% and more important is that role fitment rate is also 100%. NIIT UNIVERSITY placements starts from 7th semister with Industry practice(IP). Many big companies come for the placements.

Likes

The place is not only promoting studies they are also promoting the Talent by organising various events where they learn and develop other skills.
The Girls to Boy ration is good - 40:60.
The campus is also fine not very premium not very bad. If you're a good place in budget constraints you can opt for this.

Dislikes

They are little focused more towards money. for example when there is attendance less than 75% still if Student pay the fees they allow him to sit in exam.
Teachers can be more better. My experience with the staff is not very amazing. A lot of time i corrected some the teachers for certain topics

Placement Experience:

- Here the placements starts in the beginning of the 4 year. Campus placements are offered and it's not bad. Even we'll get some internship opportunities in 4 year before college ends - In my year the highest package is 14LPA in Mahindra

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

Friendly Teachers - treat you warmly and respectfully.
No severe Attendance Criteria or Extra marks deduction.
Many Seminars included throughout the course.

Dislikes

Architectural issues, building without repairs and many damages, no parks or playground for sports and activities.
Damaged computers and conjusted computer labs.
Need to revise the syllabus for CSE/IT as it is not keeping up with current tech.

Course Curriculum Overview:

Curriculum includes lab works, workshops and seminars. Which influence the choice to choose the course. But they are lacking to get hands on experience. Though they are guest lectures and seminar which is highly beneficial. Need to provide report on summer internship, industrial training, which is mandatory according to curriculum. Which helps in gaining hands on real life skills. But students still pass this barrier using fake certification and copied reports. And faculty is not strict about this. I believe the latest technologies which is not integrated in curriculum like AI/ ML ,recent frameworks , even if integrated not taughtd in depth. Like we have subjects AI , ML but no practical learning. Assignment are huge burden with little learning we need assessment that tests understanding rather than memorization. More subjects needed on softs skills especially in last year during placement season. Live project with company as all student are not able to land good internships. Frequency of exams like midterm( 2 in 3-4 months) ,practical( at the end of semester just after 2 nd midterm exam). End semester exams - 10-20 days after practical exams.

Quality of infrastructure is like a Nit as they focus on giving best building and infrastructure with good curriculum too. Advanced technologies and amenities are awesome.
Course curriculum is relevant and rigorous practice of real world applications problem helps in cracking big company's interview

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose this course because here the course is relevant and infrastructure is good also they give scholarship to study here . Curriculum helps very well in improving real world applications in day to day life . Teaching methods are impressive but some times it looks like a burden as they give load to students in improving themselves so this thing they should improve . Timing of the exams are of 3 hours . Their exam pattern is like other government college but they take exam strictly. Difficulty level is medium level .

Being a Government national college, the diversity is very vast and it helps us understand about the different communities and cultures.
The college provides very educated professors who help you achieve your passion and enhance your vision. They provide information regarding the books you could refer which usually doesn’t happen in other colleges or universities.
The college assigns a group of 10 students to a particular mentor who guides you not only through technical vision but also in the mental health of the student.

Dislikes

Being a south indian, I wasn’t fluent in hindi. This made a hinderence to my study life. But the professors started explaining each class in english later on after my request
The less number of placements could be an issue
The end time for girls is 10pm which is according to me a decent timing. But I think they should atleast let the parcels come past the college main gate after 10. Because the boys can collect it from there but the girls cannot.

Placement Experience:

There are campus placements provided by the college. Students shall be adopting for placements in their final years. The visited companies are Apple, JP Morgan, Meesho, DE Shaw, Salesforce, Adobe, Airtel, Amazon, Bajaj motors and so on. Highest salary id 64LPA, average is 18.39LPA for the CSE branch. The overall percentage of students getting placed is 82% for both BTech and BArch with an average package of 13.2LPA. I shall be trying to get placed.

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 got admission into IIT Dhanbad through JEE Advance exam but chose to go to Bits Pilani because i believe that it has a better brand value and prestige. For getting admission in bits, you need to clear the Bitsat exam, where you are tested on your knowledge of high school level physics, chemistry, maths.
