BITS Pilani - it’s Truly magic

Providing us with both theoretical and practical knowledge of the course. The workload is a bit more in electrical engineering compared to other courses. We have tutorial tests almost every day but that also helps us in keeping touch with the ongoing syllabus so that we don't have to cover everything one night before exams.

The exam might seem tough to people who just studied a few days before the exam but for someone who was consistent throughout they are manageable.
