My friend was a student of BIT Mesra and he has told me his share of funny stories from the institute. He used to make us laugh by telling us about the things he’d heard while he was still a student.
Following are the statements of the highly regarded “R.K. Narayan” of the institution
Another thing he used to tell us was how he had strong wrists and used to demonstrate how to hit a six. He said M.S. Dhoni’s style of hitting a six is similar to “R.K.”s.
BIT Mesra is a fairly well-known university, especially among the academic intellectuals, with a rich history of many notable alumni. However, except for the people residing in the states of Jharkhand, Bihar, and some parts of West Bengal and Odisha, it is not very popular among the common people in the rest of the country.
The hostels and the mess food can be considered decent and the rooms are well-maintained. Life at the campus is okay, nothing to complain about. Some of the features which may be considered a pro or a con depending upon the person are as follows.
Finally, though placements and the fee are not part of the everyday life of a student, they both affect the mental life of a student in a big way; so worth mentioning. If you are from a CSE/IT/Mechanical/EEE/Production engineering branch, you will receive good placements with many top companies visiting the campus. Whereas branches such as Biotech, Chemical, Polymer engineering have very low packages at campus placements and many also remain unplaced at core companies. The fee is also higher than many state colleges and NITs as it is a private university.
If you can cope up with these things and do not have any other higher-ranked college, BIT Mesra will be a good option for you and it will offer you a good and balanced life.
The list below will give you some of the toughest things to do at BIT Mesra.
Mess food:
Classes –
Dispensary – Getting good medicine from the institute’s dispensary is a task in itself. The doctor will prescribe you the same medicine for every disease.
Administration – Getting a day or a half-day off for college fests or even a simple signature on your document will take your full day with running this department to that. Even after such a long ordeal, your work may not get accomplished.
The list may increase depending upon each student’s experience. But these are some of the common things which can make your life difficult at BIT Mesra.
Yes, BITS Pilani does get international offers for placements. The institute has a strong reputation for producing skilled and competent engineering graduates, and as a result, many top companies from around the world visit the campus for placements. Over the years, BITS Pilani has established partnerships with numerous international organizations, providing students with opportunities for international internships and employment.
Additionally, the institute has a strong alumni network, with many graduates working in top positions in renowned multinational corporations. These factors contribute to the institute's reputation for providing excellent placement opportunities, both in India and abroad.
My brother is from BIT Mesra, so I think I can help you by answering this.
The same senior advised him to maintain a good CGPA throughout the academic year. He also asked him to practice coding.
In short, ACM and/or open-source stuff is the way to go for a CSE guy.
My sister is from BIT Mesra, and I am quite aware of the situation here. There is no such thing as a management quota at BIT Mesra.
Every year, rumors spread about this, but later it is discovered that all the rumors were false. You can go to college by yourself to check this out. This will also give you a clear idea of what you are gonna have for the few most important years of your life.
However, there is only one reservation for BC-I and BC-II students from the state of Jharkhand. More information about this reservation quota can be found on the college's website.
In terms of comparison with IITs and NITs, it cannot be compared to the top IITs and a few NITs comprising the top four or five. Following that, it is a strict University that strives to produce industry-ready graduates.
According to the NIRF 2020 Rankings of Educational Institutions, which were measured by the Government of India itself, BIT Mesra received the following positions.
Although it can't be compared to IITs, placements are quite good. An average salary of 11.76 LPA has been recorded while the highest package of 49.76 LPA has been offered.
Some professors are very friendly and have a lot to teach you. The hostel mess isn't all that bad and the weather is lovely there. It rains almost every day during the summer, and of course during the monsoon. Students do complain about some rules of the institute which seems unnecessary.
The biggest issue here is the lack of communication between students and the administration. But, in the end, when you pass out, these things don't matter and become a lifelong memory of which one can reminisce fondly.
BITS Pilani is located in Rajasthan, which is and used to be a part of India's so-called active north. As a result, BIT Mesra is not preferred by the people of the north, who have better options of IITs and NITs. While some go for the south. It is only an ideal place for Bihar, Bengal, Orisha, Jharkhand, and the neighboring state.
BIT Mesra was ranked 7th by India Today Group Survey, but it remains isolated in terms of fame because students are the biggest marketer for a deemed institution. If you say, “Hey, I am from Bit Mesra,” the likely answer would be, “Is it a subsidiary unit of Bits Pilani?” As BITS Pilani is more reputed.
Here are a few other reasons why BIT Mesra has not gained much recognition among the students.
This all that I have learned through my connections at the institutes. Hope this helps in clearing your doubts.
There are interesting interview stories that you will get to hear at BIT Mesra. From cell phone ringing during the interview to making a blunder during the coding round and still getting through the interview. One of my juniors from BIT Mesra had an interview with a valley-based start-up. It was scheduled at night due to the time gap. He fall asleep while waiting for the interview and woke up to a missed Skype call.
There are many successful alumni of BIT Mesra that students look up to.
Gaurav Roy-
Many students went on for higher studies. They are a huge inspiration to the current students. Following is a very short list of seniors from batch 2k7 who went on to pursue their MS from top US universities.
You might not have heard much about these people on campus, but these people were an inspiration for their juniors and people looked up to them for their valuable advice.
