How is the campus life of BITS Pilani main campus when we compare it with IIT Delhi?

DR
Deepshikha Roy Posted On : April 1st, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

BITS Pilani is known for its huge and impressive campus and its beautiful infrastructure combined with top-quality education attracts many aspirants. There are some valid reasons I am stating as to why one should choose BITS Pilani over IIT Delhi

  • There are no compulsory attendance rules which give you enough freedom to prioritize things and manage your time well
  • The timetable is rather flow-like as it’s designed by the students itself and there are some additional electives apart from Engineering subjects to break the monotony.
  • An excellent campus with top-notch infrastructural facilities makes the learning experience more comfortable for the students.
  • BITS Pilani offers single rooms to its students from the second year itself giving the students a private dove to function well
  • The school lays great emphasis on transforming theoretical knowledge into practice through compulsory internships which are a brilliant experience.

All these reasons convinced my sister to join BITS Pilani and today she is glad she took the decision.

How would you rate IIM Lucknow - Noida Campus for PGP course?

JP
John Praveen Posted On : January 6th, 2023
M.B.A from Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (Graduated 2018)

My friend is currently pursuing the EGMP program and has a lot to say about it. Although the primary campus of IIM Lucknow is in Lucknow, all the Executive Education Programs are conducted at the Noida Campus which is the secondary campus.

The quality of the curriculum and pedagogy remains the same for the regular PGP courses and EGMP courses. The same learned faculty teaches at both campuses. Even the study material and curriculum are the same.

Moreover, once you have completed the program successfully you will be granted a certificate for the completion from IIM Lucknow with an alumni status. But these programs have no placements. Except for IPMX, all the other Executive Education Programs lack placements.

My friend is very happy with the course content and the quality of education offered. Infact, some of the IIM Lucknow professors are guest lecturers in some of the best B schools in India and abroad.
