College Management is decent. There a few strict regulations and rules, but you'll get used to it once you become a part of this college. Apart from that, everything is pretty well managed.

Entrance Preview

JEE. Couldn't get a stream ot IIT of my choice. BITS was the next best college, according to me. I was able to get my desired stream. I also gave CET, AIEEE, but it didn't really matter as I got into BITS.

Course Curriculum Overview

The curriculum is based on the one followed at MIT. SO, it is one of the best. The college ranking, future options, seniors/alumni reviews, faculty and the courses/electives offered are parameters I would use to judge the course curriculum.It is very important that you choose the right stream.

Placement Experience:

Students can start sitting in placements from the start of 4th year , when the Placement Division starts bringing companies to the campus. The average package for CS is around 20-26 LPA, for Electrical branches it's around 18-24 LPA and for Mechanical and Chemical it is around 13-16 LPA. These figures would've changed though from the last time I saw. Around 85-90% of the students get placed usually. Top notch companies like Google, Microsoft , DE Shaw, Arcesium Cohesity Rubrick recruit students every year for the tech roles and other prominent companies like Flipkart, Sprinkle, Intuiut and Coin Switch come for managerial roles as well. There is even a chance of getting a PPO through Summer Internship Program which kikstarts in the 3rd year where students compete to get internship in these top companies. Overall , BITS Goa has impeccable placement statistics

Placement Experience:

I have no clue but the highest placements are in Computer and IT branches. Civil has probably the least placement. The quality is good thanks to IIT and NIT being in the same campus thus the big companies that come to those colleges also come to our colleges but they prefer those students more because NIT and IIT are more prestigious colleges.
