I am currently studying at BITS Hyderabad, and a friend of mine completed his studies from BITS Goa recently. So I can give you a clear picture of the cultural differences between the two campuses-

1. Crowd- Around 10-20% of the BITS Hyderabad crowd consists of local Hyderabad people. So, many hostelites travel back to their homes during the weekend. This has a negative effect on the extracurricular front. But otherwise, the peers and even seniors are really helpful and interactive. As for BITS Goa, it has a more diverse crowd, and its fests and events are more fun.
2. Connectivity- The Hyderabad campus is much like the Pilani one in this respect because the main city is 1 to 2 hours away. The Goa campus is located in the main city, and Goa being a small state, you can easily access the airport and other facilities from the college.
3. Administration- The BITS Goa administration is much more strict, and students are regularly checked for alcohol, etc. On the other hand, the BITS Hyderabad administration is much more relaxed in comparison.
4. Campus- The Hyderabad campus is bigger and has more students ( the Goa campus does not have Civil and Pharmacy departments). The hostel rooms at Hyderabad are slightly more spacious, and the campus library is impressively well-built. The campus contains a rock garden, which is really beautiful. So in terms of campus and infrastructure, Hyderabad is a winner.
5. Dual Degree- In a dual degree program, if your scores are extremely low, you might end up in Civil or Pharmacy at BITS Hyderabad, and Chemical at BITS Goa.

This is all the important information about the cultural differences between the two campuses. You can choose either of them for your studies based on what suits your personal preferences. 

It is difficult to give an appropriate solution if you are not opting for a specific branch. All the colleges you have mentioned are well-reputed institutes in India that offer quality education and placement support to their students. The comparison can only be made based on the branches. Some institutes, like IITs, are good at CSE, while others have efficient departments in mechanical or Electrical Engineering. The ranking and placement vary every year.

If you get a chance to pick BITS Goa in mechanical engineering and BITS Pilani in Civil Engineering, then opt for Mechanical engineering, which opens up more opportunities and placement support than civil engineering.

When it comes to choosing between two good institutes, it can be a tough decision to make. However, there are certain factors that you need to consider in order to make an informed decision.

• Consider your paying capacity as both institutes have a high fee structure
• Evaluate your branch of preference as both offer a wide range of courses but may not have the same specializations
• Your state of domicile can also play a role in your decision-making process, as you may be eligible for state quotas
• Assess your way of living and comfort level with the environment, as IIIT Allahabad is located in a small town and BITS Goa is located in a coastal town with a vibrant atmosphere.

Ultimately, the decision to choose between IIIT Allahabad and BITS Goa should be based on your individual preferences and priorities. You need to carefully consider all the factors mentioned above and choose the institute that aligns with your career aspirations and personal goals.

You must first introspect if you really like coding or not. CSE is a trendy branch these days because of the high packages it offers. But those who land a job in top brands are deeply interested in, and an expert of coding. If you are genuinely interested in coding, NIT Surathkal CSE is a great option for you. It’s a good college with a good campus life.

I also pursued my dual degree with an MSc. in Economics from NIT Goa. The Economics department of my college is great. The curriculum is rich, and courses like Econometrics, MSM, Applied Econometrics, etc. are a great help when applying for placements in Analytics firms. Even for an MBA, an Economics degree is very useful. The faculty for Economics is great. MSc. Economics offers less burden than other specializations like Maths or Physics. The course offers very good electives like Security Analysis and Portfolio Management, Financial Management, etc. With a dual degree, you’ll get an extra year to choose your engineering branch.

Now if you opt for a dual degree from BITS Goa, be prepared to work really hard. The crowd is quite competitive. You’ll need to work hard to manage two programs simultaneously. The fees at BITS are quite high in comparison to NITs. NITs won’t provide you top-notch lodging and food facilities like BITS. For higher education too, the BITS tag holds more value. The curriculum at NITs isn’t as flexible as that offered at BITS.

Both are renowned colleges. You should make a choice based on your priorities.
