BIT Mesra- An honest review

Faculty members here are highly qualified most of them have done their Phd from IITs. Some of them are still doing research on active projects here in institute. Academics here are very tough you need to study regularly for getting a decent cgpa, studying one night before mid sems or end sems won't work! Our semester was compressed in a very bad way a 6 month course is being taught in 3 months and level of difficulty remains the same. Of course we have a 75% attendance criteria (proxy lagwani padti hai ????)

Students are eligible for internships from 3rd year some even manage to get a PPO. Many circuital branche Students crack good internships with a nice stipend, few core companies also offer internships like TATA steel, JUSCO etc

Students are eligible for placements from 7th semester onwards 6th sem onwards for internships. Placement for circuital branches here are comparable to top 5 NITs with CSE average package being 22LPA and highest being 58LPA overall average package was 13.5 LPA. Core companies also visit our campus and offer jobs to corr branches students like mechanical, chemical, civil etc. but they are less in number. Top recruiters are Atlassian, Microsoft, Tata steel, Hero motorcorp, Hyundai, Genpact etc

Being a GFTI (technically a central government college) it's fees is very high around 17 lakhs for btech courses it's way cheaper for IMSc courses. Our institute also offers scholarships to meritorious and financially weak students called GP Birla scholarship

Campus of BIT Mesra is one of the best campuses in India. It's spread over 780+ acres with forest cover all around it. It's really a treat to walk around in the campus on holidays. Having a cycle is must in our college because of the distance between hostels and main buildings and food joints (ofc girls hostel too????). Our annual cultural fest is BITOTSAV held in February this time BITOTSAV 23 was held after 3 years and it was worth the hype with Papon's performance in Pro night. Annual tech fest is known as Pantheon, it has a huge scope of impact according to me. We have a big library with almost all kind of academic books available. Classrooms are all air conditioned. Sports cultural is pretty average. Sports complex is big and also with a gym. There are many cultural and tech clubs all organizing some events throughout the year. But our administration is very student unfriendly and struct that's a big con!

Boys Hostel allotment is poor here with 2 students accommodated in a room meant for one student. It's a big struggle to stay in these hostels in first year, 2nd year onwards boys are given single accommodation, girls live in double sharing throughout 4 years. Mess food is just eatable

For being eligible for BIT Mesra one needs to give JEE Mains and participate in JoSAA and CSAB counselling. Our institute also conducts it's own institute round of counselling. Admission process was nearly smooth, but the hostel allotment system had many snags and it could get better
