How is food in the mess at BITS Hyderabad?
Before beginning with my answer, I would like for you to make a note that no mess food can ever compete with home food. So it is not worth it to compare the two.
Coming to BITS Hyderabad, the mess food is quite decent. There are two messes on the campus, and they serve both North and South Indian meals on most days.
At first, you’ll be delighted by the variety of dishes served by the messes. But as time goes by, you’ll get bored of eating the same kind of food, served strictly according to the mess time table. Further, you’ll begin to miss your mom’s recipes, which will ultimately make you think that the food at the hostels is not good at all. Because of all this, you’ll start eating at the cafeteria or miss some meals altogether.
Speaking in a more practical and evaluative fashion, the mess food at BITS Hyderabad is certainly better than many IITs and NITs. You’ll be served decent and satisfactory meals at the college.
How are the placements of dual degree programs at BITS Hyderabad?
The dual degree placements at BITS Hyderabad depend upon several factors. Some of them are-
- The combination of dual degree, and if it complements your B.E. branch. Like Math+CS is a brilliant combination, and ECO will get you a decent core placement. Similarly, Physics+EEE/EnI/Mech/ECE will be much more beneficial than a simple B.E.
But everything depends on the company that you wish to apply for. Financial companies have a cutoff, but unless you have studied Economics, they won’t care about your B.E. and MSc. degrees.
2. Certain old school companies do not even allow dual degree students to sit for their placements. Such companies are few in number.
However, most companies won’t pay heed to your MSc. degree, simply because the concept of an MSc.+B.E. is unique to BITS. So at the end, your B.E. degree will most probably get you placed.
Thus, your dual degree at BITS Hyderabad won’t serve you much in terms of placements. Most companies will look at the B.E. part of it.
Is BITS Hyderabad any good?
All the three BITS campuses follow the same curriculum, and the faculties are equally good at each of them. Moreover, all of them have a good infrastructure. All three of them provide excellent learning and development opportunities to students, and the peer groups at each of them are quite good.
The slight difference is that some influential firms only make recruitments from the Pilani campus. But many MNCs choose to recruit students from all three BITS campuses. On campus recruitments do not define the entire career path of any individual.
Some of my seniors at BITS performed really well in UPSC, some went on to pursue their MS, and others rose to high management positions through sheer hard work that they learned during those four years at BITS. The only drawback is that the fees are much higher compared to the NITs.
BITS Hyderabad is an excellent choice for your engineering studies. But everything ultimately depends on your dedication and hardwork.
What is better: EEE at BITS Hyderabad or CS at VIT Vellore?
As a former EEE student at BITS Goa, I would not recommend taking up EEE at BITS Hyderabad if you want a career in the field of software engineering.
Here are the reasons why-
- The coding involved in EEE is not enough. You’ll code in MATLAB, which is rarely used in the IT sector. You’ll have to devote extra time to learning Python, Java, and other languages.
- CS involves much more than coding, all of which you’ll miss out on.
- Elective courses like OS, DSA, Comp Arch have very limited seats, and not everyone gets to pick them. Also, you’ll get these courses by your third or fourth year. By then you’ll either be under too much pressure to complete your main syllabus or it’ll be too late because the placement season will have begun.
- Top IT companies don’t open for non CS candidates, and even for the companies that do, you’ll have to compete with CS students.
- BITS will give you all the necessary exposure, quality education and opportunities. However, as a non IT student you’ll still find difficulty in getting an IT job via campus placements.
Based on all these points, I would recommend choosing CSE at VIT for better job prospects in the IT sector.
Which course is better: CSE at BITS Hyderabad or IT at IIIT Allahabad?
Ans. If you have to choose between BITS and IIITA. You should definitely go with IIIT Allahabad. At IIITA, there is no home state quota i.e. seats reserved for students of Allahabad. BITS has a no-reservation policy.

Coding Culture
- IIIT Allahabad has a coding culture that is renowned and is best in class.
- BITS Hyderabad’s coding culture is good but lacks in some aspects as compared to IIITA.
So, if you have the option to choose between CSE at BITS Hyderabad and IT at IIIT Allahabad, go with IIITA as it is better than BITS in almost all aspects.
Which college is better, NIT, Surathkal or BITS, Hyderabad? Why?
BITS Hyderabad is a private college. On the other hand, NIT Surathkal is a government college. So it won’t be correct to compare the two. Both have their own pros and cons.
I am listing below the strengths of each-
- NIT Surathkal-
- It has affordable fees which are much lower than BITS colleges.
- It has a strong alumni network as it was established in 1960. The alumni network of BITS colleges is quite strong too.
- It is situated in the beautiful western ghats and has a private beach of its own.
- The campus life is great. There are good extracurricular facilities.
- BITS Hyderabad
- As it is a private college, it has better infrastructure and faculty than NITK.
- It has a better hostel and mess facility.
- The peer groups are better at BITS Hyderabad. This is because it admits students purely on a merit basis.
- There is no minimum attendance criteria at BITS Hyderabad.
Both the colleges are well-renowned. You can choose either of them for your higher studies, based on your personal preferences.
Which college is better, NIT Surathkal, BITS Hyderabad, or NIT Trichy CSE (considering all factors)?
These three colleges can be compared with each other on several factors. I am listing below these factors-
- College tag- Both the tags- ‘BITSIAN’ and ‘NITIAN’ are reputable. Both will help you in your career. But as far as international recognition is concerned, a BITSIAN tag holds more value.
- Peer Group- BITS Hyderabad has a better crowd because of no reservation scheme. NITs have caste based reservation and home state quota.
- Infrastructure- BITS Hyderabad is the newest BITS, so it has a better infrastructure than the other two colleges. Its infrastructure is better than BITS Pilani as well. NITs are government institutions which receive government funding mostly for research, and rarely for infrastructural development.
- Placements - BITS Hyderabad offers good CSE placements, at par with NIT Trichy and NIT Surathkal. Its placement record is improving with time. However, these NITs offer better placements for core branches due to PSU visits.
- Faculty- The faculty is top notch at all these colleges. However, NITs experience a shortage of professors which causes problems for the students.
- Alumni network- All the BITS campuses have a common alumni network- BITSAA. BITSAA is the second largest alumni network after the IITs. It is bigger than the alumni networks of these NITs.
- Degree- All the BITS students are offered the same degree, irrespective of the BITS campus.
- Research- In terms of research, NIT Trichy and NIT Surathkal are a better option.
- Fees - The fees at BITS Hyderabad is quite high. NITs are government colleges, so their fees are low. BITS offer scholarships and scholar loans of 20 lakhs to students. You can definitely opt for NITs in case of financial constraints.
NIT Surathkal, NIT Trichy and BITS Hyderabad are all good colleges for your CSE degree. They are a much better choice than the new IITs. You can choose any of them based on your personal preference.
Is it possible to prepare for BITSAT in 4 months and make it into BITS Hyderabad or score a 350+?
4 months is a decent amount of time to prepare for BITSAT. However, you’ll have to make a proper study routine and stick to it.
I also had just 4 months at hand when I seriously sat down to study for BITSAT. By seriously I mean that by that time I had a fair enough grasp on basic concepts. I studied for long hours and covered the NCERT syllabus thoroughly. I read and reread each chapter, till it stuck in my mind, and regularly practiced mock tests. My mock test scores kept on improving with each practice session.
I had thought I wouldn’t make it into BITS, but I ended up getting BE Mechanical at BITS Hyderabad. So I would recommend you study with diligence and solve mock tests on a regular basis. If not 350+, you’ll definitely score decent enough marks to make it into BITS.
What all should I know before joining BITS Hyderabad Campus?
Here are some things you must know before joining BITS Hyderabad-
- Even though you’ve secured a seat at a prestigious institution, it does not mean that the coming four years will be any easier. You’ll have to study with diligence to secure a good score, and consequently, a good placement.
- Despite what others tell you, your CGPA will play an important role in placements. So maintain a good CGPA throughout.
- If you’ll carry a laptop from the first year itself, make sure to use it for studies as well. Do not waste all your time on online gaming and other things.
- You’ll meet many new people on campus, make good networks and socialize. This will benefit you in the long run.
- Join some clubs and societies if you like, they will enhance your campus life.
- There is a 0 attendance policy, but try to be a bit regular. This is because certain class tests are important for your CGPA, and also, regularly attending the classes is good for a disciplined routine.
- The campus has all the necessary items, so if you forget to bring some minor things, you can always buy them over there.
- Remember to pack your original certificates, plenty of Xerox copies of them and passport size photos.
Try to maintain a balanced lifestyle during your degree,and you’ll have a memorable stay at this institution.
Which is better, BITS Hyderabad for an MSc. in maths or Vasavi College of Engineering for a CSE?
If you're trying to decide between pursuing a Master of Science in Mathematics at BITS Hyderabad and a Computer Science Engineering degree at Vasavi College of Engineering, here's some information that may help you make an informed decision.
If finances are not a major concern, it may be a good idea to choose BITS Hyderabad's MSc Mathematics program over Vasavi's CSE program. The reason for this is that in the second year of the MSc Mathematics program, you will be allocated a BE degree. If you have a good CGPA in your first year of the MSc program, you may be allocated a good B.E. degree, such as in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or any circuit branch.
This is significant because a B.E. degree from BITS Hyderabad is highly regarded and could provide a good return on investment in terms of career opportunities and earning potential. Additionally, BITS Hyderabad has a reputation for providing quality education and exposure to industry-relevant skills and knowledge.
It's important to note that while a good CGPA can increase your chances of getting a desirable B.E. degree at BITS Hyderabad, there is no guarantee. Additionally, pursuing an MSc in Mathematics and a subsequent B.E. degree may require more effort and time commitment than pursuing only a CSE degree at Vasavi College of Engineering.
Ultimately, the decision between BITS Hyderabad's MSc Mathematics program and Vasavi's CSE program depends on your personal preferences, career goals, and financial situation. It's recommended that you research and compare the programs, their admission requirements, course curriculum, faculty, and placement records before making a decision.
