I had an AIR of 2000 in Jee Advanced which made me eligible to the top IIT's but not for Computer Science in any of the top 5 IITs. I had an option of pursing B. E. Computer Science in BITS Pilani and I chose this following my interest In computers and not the IIT tag which most people follow.

Faculty of the college is good and keeps shiftimg and changing among all the 3 campuses from time to time. Also almost every semester 2-3 new faculty join in the CS department. Most of the faculty do have a good research and teaching experience
