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

The life at BITS teaches you not just to be an expert in your field but to be an expert in how you live. It develops your confidence, gives a many opportunities in different fields, so dont be surprised if you dont end up doing the job of your course.

BITSAT. I scored 306 in this test. Except Electronics and Communication, I had all other branches available to choose from. I was not into coding and physics interested me in my 11th and 12th so i chose EEE. I choose BITS Pilani Hyderabad specifically over Pilani and Goa Campus as i am from hyderabad and after some research also found that the quality here is on par with that of pilani or goa campus.

Course curriculum was decently paced but tough. EEE is supposedly the toughest courses of all engineering courses. The faculty is good and helpful. They encourage you if you show interest. The faculty though good is not that experienced.Practicals conducted are very helpful and the campus has very good facilities for good experiments to give you a hand on experience. Though i would also add that teaching is not research oriented.

There are 2 compulsory internships we go as students of BITS. The first one is after the second year for 2 months. The second is for 5-6 months, either in your first or second semester in 4th year.1st internship: CLRI, Chennai. No stipend. Experience was Okish as we were exposed to the basic electrical systems. It was more of an exposure to the workings in a real world scenario.2nd intership: POLMON Instruments Pvt LTD, Hyderabad. Stipend: Rs. 10000/-. Bad experience. The staff knowledge was poor and the job atmosphere was stringent. My stipend was more than most of the employees salaries with experience of more than 2-3 years. It was plainly sad.

Around 70% of the students were placed. The highest offered CTC in India was 22 LPA offered by Amazon and outside india was $55000 by EPIC Systems.There were a lot of opportunities for students from all fields. Though core companies that visited the campus were very few as is the case with any other college. The college prepares you well for the job interviews too.

BITS has a very grand and a very beautiful cultural festival called PEARL. Colleges from all over india participate. There is one International Band performance, one Indian band performance, a very grand fashion show and a lot of other activities to keep you going 24 hours, it being an all day all night fest.The Tech Fest is ATMOS. The popularity of ATMOS is increasing day by day. You can see the technical creativity blooming here. Besides technical, there are a lot of managerial/start up related lectures and events to participate in.Participation in both the events is huge.

Many scholarships are provided by the institute itself. There is a Merit Cum Need Scholarships which as many as 200 of the 650-700 students avail in a batch. For different categories, fees is waived from 25% to 100%.

Campus life is simply awesome. There are so many activities happening every now and then. Sports, music, dance, drama, literature etc everything is encouraged here.Gender ratios is a little skewed. As the college has purely merit based selection, the girls/boys intake cannot be judged or guessed.During the time of elections, it is a sight to watch. Campaigns of every candidate are passionate. You can feel the intensity and the politics all around you.

The hostels are awesome! Each student has a single room. The corridors are clean and tidy. Everything is well maintained. 4/5.Fees is a little on the higher side but justified for all the facilities you are provided with. There are a lot of scholarships g

Seniors are really helpful. There are a lot of groups and activities that lets you connect with your alumni. During fests, many students present their idea and there is a very high probability of it being funded by one of the alumni. BITS Pilani alumni power is obviously a very positive and to be noted criteria of BITS.
