One of my friends studied Chemical Engineering at BITS Pilani. According to him, it is a really tough stream. It is suggested not to drop a year instead ensure that you work very hard.
Herewith I'm providing the basic details for BITS Pilani :
PARAMETERS | BITS PILANI |
Tuition Fees | INR 1.78 LPA |
Placement Percentage | 99% |
Average Package | INR 17 LPA |
If you opt to drop and secure admission in an IIT, you will be getting only one degree after 4 years. Whereas, you can get 2 individual degrees from BITS after 5 years. There is not much of a difference between BITS and IITs. It is certainly better than the new ones. The top 5 or 6 IITs are better than BITS but letting go of one more year might not be a wise decision.
