Udit Gupta's Review On Birla Institute Of Technology And Science - [BITS], Hyderabad

Talking of hyderabad campus land in the campus can be utilized more judiciously. Though the infrastructure is sufficient for every need of the student but there are large empty spaces of land which can be utilized for something good.

My BITSAT score was 332/450 mains rank - 12k and advance rank-12k (screwed up my paper). So I had to make a choice between a NIT or BITS and I choose BITS for obvious reasons.

Course curriculum in bits is very flexible. Students have to make their own timetable, select their teachers, here they also have zero % attendance which is the icing on the cake.All the BITSIANS have to go though P.S (practice school) twice in their tenure of four years which is only followed in BITS in india. Also bits adjusts to the changes in curriculum faster than any other institutes in india even the IIT's ( for eg: Engineering graphics is taught using autocad software in BITS whereas in majority of other institutes it is taught using drafter). And the dual degree scheme is also worth mentioning. In which a student takes addmission in a Msc course and after first year is alloted a B.E course on the basis of CGPA. It is also a feature exclusive to bits.

Still to undergo internship. But the 2nd PS has a stipend.

Placements of BITS PILANI as an university is well known.But on a serious note the placements are pretty good for braches CS, ECE, EEE and decent for other branches same as which is case with other engineering colleges in india.

We have 3 fests in our hyderabad campus:1) Tecnical- ATMOS 2) Sportes- ARENA3) Cultural- PEARLFootfall in them is respectable and there is also an literary fest in our campus - The Verba Maximus.

There are various scholarships like the MCN( merit cum need) which is applicable to candidates whose family income is less than 5lpa ( not sure). Scholarships are also given to top 15-20 admitted candidates in each campus on the basis of their bitsat score. Scholarships are also awarded on the basis of CGPA.

Campus life is pretty awesome. Everything right from addmission process to club inductions, managing fests, clubs, departments and even calling various companies for placements is taken care off by the students. Gender ratio is also good when compared to iit's. Various clubs operate wherein juniors with the help of seniors can grow in feilds like robotics, coding etc and showcase there talent in the technical fest-ATMOS. Bits also has no reservations so students from every state can be found. Also there are certain seats reserved for NRI's under the buddy program which gives us a better exposure to the outer world. Bits is more of an overall development than only academic development.

Hostels are pretty amazing. And are way better than most other government and private institutions. Even among the three sister campuses the hyderabad campus has the best infrastructure. Fees is a little bit on a higher side but given the infrastructure a

Alumni network of bits is very strong with a bitsian in every field. Ragging or more precisely interation are very lite here in bits. But there would be times where you would find yourselves a little offended but overall senior junior relationship is quite healthy. Students learn more from the seniors than from the teachers.

Faculty in bits is also well qualified(apart from few). Also the bits administration rotates the faculty among the three campuses in india so every bitsian has the access to each faculty member.
