Pratik Parikh Posted On : June 27th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Both IIT BHU and BITS Pilani have their strengths and what career you wish to pursue will decide which of the two will be a better option for you.

If students get the same branch at both institutions, they mostly end up choosing IIT BHU. However, most people are offered a better branch at BITS Pilani (main campus) than IIT BHU.

Here are the different parameters for a comparison between the two-

  • Coding Culture and Tech Jobs- Similar tech companies visit BITS Pilani and IIT BHU for placements. In terms of ACM ICPC and GSOC performance though, IIT BHU is ahead of BITS Pilani
  • Non-Tech Jobs- Similar companies visit the campus for placements. However, BITS Pilani has an edge over IIT BHU.
  • Core Jobs- Here IIT BHU gets the advantage of its IIT tag. Supply chain companies visit the IITs in a larger number.
  • Startup Culture- BITS Pilani students have created great startups over time. The richest Indian-American is an IIT-BHU alumnus, he founded four highly successful startups.
  • Higher education- The alumni of IIT BHU and BITS Pilani pursue their masters in top universities in the USA. US universities give opportunities to IITians, and BITS students get the chance because of a huge alumni base with successful alumni in the research field.
  • Location and campus- Varanasi is a tier 2, whereas, Pilani is a tier 3 city. In comparison to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, life in them is a lot different. Inside the campus, life at both is very similar.
  • Fees- The course fees at BITS Pilani are much higher because it is a private university.

Both institutions are great in every aspect. However, one has a slight advantage over the other in the different aspects as discussed above. No matter whether you choose BITS Pilani or IIT BHU, you are sure to learn a lot and get selected for well-paying jobs. You must work hard to achieve your goals.
