A review of BITS Hyderabad

The curriculum of BITS is BE, that it is very flexible and covers a vast variety of topics. Although it is theoretical, it covers a lage amount of hands on industrial concepts as well and the curriculum includes 2-3 compulsory internships for students to get hands on experience in the real world. My only con would be to improve the amount of practical things taught. I liked the course structure and idea of flexibility. The exams are frequent to keep you on your toes.

Campus placements start from the beginning of 4th year, or 5th year if you are pursuing a dual degree. About 85% of the students get placed the highest package goest to about 60 lpa and the average is about 20-25 lpa. I have no plans for after college, I am going with the flow. Almost all tech, fintech and core companies active in India come for recruitment.

The tution fees yearly come to around 6 lpa. Hostel is relatively cheap for a city; they only charge around 1.1 lpa per annum. We are expected to a registration fee in first year, about 50000. Apart from that, we have medical insurance, mess fees, maintenance fees and a prepaid amount called an swd amount which is paid in advance, all amounting to 60k per annum. A scholarship is provided to the top 3% academic scorers along with a merit cum need scholarship for people with low income, which is a very generous amount and is also based on your GPA. All fees across branches are same.

Campus Life is amazing. We have almost every facility available to us and multiple food outlets running about 20 hours a day. Our library has around 50000 books having almost every topic and new books are added every fortnight. We have multiple sports teams and have all sports equipment and areas dedicated for them. There also about 80 - 100 clubs on campus, and almost every student is a part of one.

We get a two sharing room in the first year, then we can opt for a single/ double room and second year, and then we get single rooms from 3rd year onwards. The hostels are very affordable and all the registration is online and hassle free. The mess food is very good, considering the quality of mess food in general.

I didn't get many other colleges, I was getting colleges like VIT, manipal and almost all colleges via KCET and COMEDK. I didn't crack advanced and felt that for a guy who didn't want to pursue a career in IT, BITS was the best place for me. Cutoffs for this course college rise each year and is pretty high, in between mains and advanced. Almost all admissions happen via BITSAT or SAT.

Faculty is amazing. They are very approachable and the faculty to student ratio is around 40:1, which is amazing. They are absolutele experts in their field and know how to teach, barring a few. The exams are generally very tough owing to the high competition of the college, which increases the average as well. The best faculties are generally of the core branches.
