A View of BIT through the eyes of a student!

The eligibility for any course in Bangalore Institute of Technology is that one should have cleared his 12th. We can even apply to the college through KCET, COMEDK, and management. I am a student who got admission to this college through KCET. I just followed the option entry process of KCET and came through this college. Similar is the process for COMEDK. For the students opting for management quota, you have to apply through the application form, which will be available on the official website of the college and can be taken by visiting the college. I had a reservation for the 3B category under the rural category, which is availed through KEA(KCET). The admission process for the academic year of 2022-23 is already started from the month of September.

I chose the Computer science and engineering course as it is the fastest-spreading engineering degree everywhere. Even the best placement records of our college are for the branch of CSE. The faculties are well aware of the course and teach pretty well. When it comes to the teaching level, some of the faculties are good whereas some just rant about things and goes forward without even caring whether we understood or not. Moreover, when it comes to engineering it all comes down to the individual teaching efforts irrespective of the teacher or the teaching method. We are given 3 internal tests in a semester, in which the time gap between two tests will be around a month or just more than that. The tests will be moderate and not that tough to pass.

Companies visit the placement cell of BIT and offer internships to students in their final year. The companies visiting include Cisco, Bosch, Walmart and so on. They offer three to six months internships for students and selected students are offered a fixed-job in the same company. You can be eligible for internships when you reach your final year or even in the sixth sem. Leaves required for students will be granted by the college, after some minor circuses. The students can also apply for internships outside the campus.

The placement records of BIT are excellent. Almost all of the students get placed at the end of their graduation. The students will be available for placements after the 6th sem. The companies visited include Dell, Accenture, Amazon, Oracle, Altran, IBM, Infosys, etc and over 650 students were placed in the last academic year. The highest package offered in the last year was 29LPA, and the average package was 7.5LPA. Almost 90% or more students get placed in this college. I'm planning on getting placed after my graduation. Even students can get training for competitive exams such as GATE here if they are planning to pursue their higher education after engineering.

For the students opting to this college through KCET and COMEDK, the fee structure is as described by the system of admission by the respective exams. On top of that, a skill lab fee of almost 20K will be levied on the students. And for management, it's as described as the college, which changes year to year, precisely it increases year after year and it also depends on the course you are choosing. The college will provide you with the details of many scholarships to which you can apply and even some exams to attend for the scholarship. These scholarships majorly deal with girl students. I got the SSP scholarship which is granted by the Karnataka government.

The main fest of BIT is called 'Manthan' which takes place in the month of June. It includes the appearance of star actors, some concerts and DJ night along with some crazy activities organized by the clubs of the college. When it comes to infrastructure, the college stands down as all it has is 3 buildings and two canteens and is surrounded by other institutions. As the college is situated in almost the heart of the city, we can't expect much of infrastructure. The college even organises an event for Kannada rajyotsava, called 'Kannada Kalarava' at the end of November. This will be organised by a single club named 'samskruthi' which is the Kannada club of the college. The libraries are well equipped with plenty of books which are required for the students for academic purposes. The classrooms are well equipped but are a bit old-fashioned. Almost all clubs of the college are managed by the students themselves. Sports and cultural activities are conducted during fests.
