Getting into BITS Goa has several different ways including by air, train, bus, and other options.
The last but not the least option is to book a train to the Madgaon station and then follow the above-mentioned steps. Alternate for this can be a state bus heading towards Vasco, reaching BITS Goa, and taking the entry from the main gate.
If you are interested in CSE, choose VIT. It has a good computer science branch with a decent placement record. The salary packages offered for the branch ranges between INR 5-48 LPA. Students are usually recruited as software developers and web developers. TCS, Wipro, and Microsoft are among the major recruiters that frequent the placement drive.
BITS Pilani is nearly impossible to beat at any score lower than 305.
Unless you are in an "IIT," or unless you are only concerned with the college brand name, the subjects you will study in the future. To be honest, your skills and knowledge will get you everything, but stream allows you to become eligible to sit for the jobs you want. You should emphasize focusing on the stream rather than the college brand name because many colleges have eligibility criteria, i.e. CSE/IT students can apply but others cannot, and thus other students are not exposed to enough opportunities, as is the case at the college where I did my undergrad and many other colleges.
As some of my friends studied at BITS Goa, I might be able to share some facts about the particular course offered here.
Categories | Dual Degree in BITS Goa |
Course Fee | 19.19 lakh |
Course Duration | 4 years |
Highest CTC | 23 LPA |
Average CTC | 12 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Tech Mahindra, Wipro, TCS, Cognizant, etc. |
After that, you gradually end up acquiring an M.Sc degree and a B.E degree. The aforementioned facts are true enough for every BITS campus, Pilani, Goa, or Hyderabad.
The faculty members of the EEE department at BITS Goa are not good, except for a few of them.
According to the professors, the only way to answer the questions is to attend their lectures and not understand the concepts. The average scores and grades are very low. The average of a class usually is C in a test or marks like 15 out of 75.
BITS has a higher brand value than any NIT in India. You can clear your concepts on your own. You can also learn from the knowledgeable professors of the EEE department.
If you maintain a CGPA of 8 or above, especially in the EEE department, you can easily get an internship with the help of a practice school program. These factors also help you if you opt to study further in any part of the world, or if you prefer to do a job.
However, placements at NIT Trichy are better. But, if you have the required skills, you will get good opportunities to land up in a good job position. The average CTC offered to the students is 5 LPA.
You will easily get into a good institution for higher studies or any good company for a job, even if you do not pay much attention to the lectures at BITSG. All you need to do is, have some good internship experience, be on good terms with few faculties of the EEE department, and get required recommendation letters.
A friend of mine is studying at the BITS Goa campus. As per his experience, there is no ragging taking place at the BITS Goa campus.
There might be a fun introduction for the freshers, but it will not hurt anyone. As a fresher, my friend used to accompany his seniors to their rooms. Seniors are friendly in this institute. The only thing they might mind is freshers calling them sir, Bhaiya, and other names.
Ragging is an offense in BITS Goa like other colleges. The college adheres to all the Anti-Ragging laws by the government, UGC Regulations, an Anti-Ragging Committee, and Anti-Ragging Squads at the institute.
BITS Goa is much superior to SVNIT any day for placements. Although the package that you would get offered by recruiters depends upon your skills and several other important aspects such as your credentials, the marks obtained, and many more. Here is why you should choose BITS Goa over SVNIT.
Particulars | BITS Goa | NIT Surat |
Average Package | INR 24.8 LPA | INR 6.15 LPA |
Highest Package | INR 43.3 LPA | INR 10 LPA |
Major recruiters | Amazon, Oyo, Synchrony | Adobe, Nokia, Deloitte |
These are a few of the topographical advantages that the campus of BITS Goa has to offer. The metro city of Mumbai is also very near to the institution.
Every college has its share of merits and demerits. That being said, the exposure that Thapar provides its students is arguably enviable. Thapar also boasts of offering its students an unparalleled college life, curriculum, and last but not the least, placements. The placement average has stayed above 90% for the last 6 years. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered at the institute is 43 LPA.
BITS Goa, on the other hand, is also quite popular. You will reap the benefits if you are diligent enough. The location has a significant part to play.
Comparably, Thapar is a better institute than BITS Goa.

Now it is always advisable to prepare for JEE (Advanced) more than BITSAT. This does not mean the Goa campus of BITS Pilani is bad or BITSAT is really easy. Many students actually keep BITSAT as a backup plan in case they fail to get IITs and I think it is a good strategy. Any day you should aim for IITs. But around 4-6 months before the exam you should know your potential and seriously consider whether you should give BITSAT or not.
As for the exam difficulty, it is often considered that BITSAT has a lower difficulty level than JEE (Mains). While that may be true but the time constraint, accuracy, and the competition from students should also be taken into account. You should take at least 10 practice BITSAT tests to nail your time management skills.
Finally, I would suggest that get a good grasp of mathematics and you can certainly excel at any entrance exam.
You should definitely go with BITS Goa. The physics faculty at the institute is really good and no one can reiterate this enough. If you happen to take courses like Mechanics and OScil, you will realize this in the first year itself.
Moreover, the college festival, Waves, is a major highlight. Many discussions regarding the best departments in the college have always had synchronous replies with physics being the major answer. The faculty members are well versed in the field and are dedicated individuals.
But if you are still confused, you must know that the curriculum and syllabus are the same on all three campuses. Your degree will finally specify that you graduated from BITS Pilani.
