What Students Say
Likes
- Infrastructure is Well designed. All lab equipments work and are in good condition. Air conditioners work well in both lecture theatres and classrooms. Auditorium is also big and noise doesn't echo
- Some faculty members are very good. Others do not make a lot of effort in providing study material. Zero attendance policy comes handy here as you can skip their classes and study on your own.
- Many opportunities are provided. A lot of courses are available to take up and learn new things. Events and Fests are amazing and you get to socialize with important people, from professors to entrepreneurs.
Dislikes
- Exams are packed throughout the semester. Every month there will be either a quiz/midsem/compre(finals). Every week, there are evaluative labs which reflect on the CGPA so you have to constantly study.
- Not a lot of hostel facilities like a pantry. Kettles, iron are not allowed.
- Somedays, classes are jam-packed. Gotta attend evaluative labs early in the morning and you cannot miss them. Getting a makeup is also hard.
Course Curriculum Overview
This is a core course. And due to high demand of Electrical and Electronics students, I chose this course. BITS excels at core and IT courses. The professors are PhD holders and excel at their subjects, publishing papers with the PhD students under them. They also hold regular talk sessions, giving insights on how the industry is developing. Grading is bad but worth it

Two internships are provided and compulsory by the college. Stipend is not given in the first internship. But high chance of being paid in the second internship. Most people are offered a PPO in PS2. In 2024, 81% students were placed. A lot of students go for abroad studies.
