Yes, SBI will give you an education loan irrespective of your choice of course. Most importantly, it is not important whether you are a student or not at BITS Goa. SBI offers loans to all students studying in famous and recognized colleges. 

Usually, education loans are provided mostly for Professional courses at post-graduation level. You must check whether BITS Goa is listed or not. You can do so by visiting the nearest SBI Branch.

Getting an education loan in BITS Goa isn't that tough. The loan will be sanctioned without any obstacles.

The answer to this question depends on how you can cope with zealous competition after joining college. If you are confident that you can join the brawl and top in your first year, I would highly recommend taking MSc in Economics at BITS Goa Pilani. 

• BITS Pilani has been ranked among top 30 institutes in NIRF Ranking 2020. 
• In your 2nd year, you can choose a B.E. course according to your first year CGPA, including the highly coveted CSE program.

• You'll have to spend one more year as compared to your B.E. colleagues.
• Getting your desired course can be a real disadvantage, seeing that there is no dearth of distractions on campus.

If you do not want to take a risk, choosing IT at NIT Surathkal is the best option for you. Since the syllabus almost corresponds to that of CSE and the infrastructure is mind-blowing at the campus.

If you are financially stable, then you should prefer BTS Goa. NIT C has gotten worse in the following years. 

In NIT C, the students of some branches are getting back and the percentage of those back students are almost 50%. The environment of NIT C is hard to sustain and after being a Govt. Deemed University the faculty and students do whatever they feel like. Like one of the professors was given a warning after he was found guilty because of sexual harassment. 

NIT is known nationwide for the quality of students. It's not the Institute that makes a good student, it's rather the students that make an Institute good. The same is the case with NITs. If you want to join NIT, choose NIT Surathkal.

So, BITS is also a better option as compared to NIT Calicut which is as prestigious as IITs. One of the locations of BITS is Goa, which is indeed a dream destination for engineers. You will enjoy studying there. 

NIT Calicut has the cons mentioned above but not all the faculties are the same. Some of them are highly educated and decent.

One of my friends is an alumnus of BITS Goa and he was able to provide the recent placement information of the institute.

For the year 2020 around 249 companies visited the BITS Pilani Goa campus recruiting various students for various roles. Some of the biggest tech companies that recruited from the campus include Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Oracle, Apple, and many more.

The highest international package which the campus got was INR 1.4 crores. This is comparable to many top IITs of the country. However, you should keep in mind that very few, around 5-7, students from the top 20 engineering colleges in India get international offers. Also, most of the offers are for computer science students.

Having known some people studying in both these institutes, I can say that BITS Goa and NIT Trichy both are excellent institutes when it comes to any branch. But if money is not one of your major problems, you can easily opt for CSE at BITS Goa.

• NIT Trichy is recognized and known as the best NIT overall. 
• BITS Goa is higher than most of the NIT’s and IIT’s. 
• The only drawback of BITS Goa is that the fees are a lot.
• For the CSE branch, I would definitely recommend BITS Goa. 
• BITS Goa would be the better option available as it is famous for its CSE department and also because of lots of events and activities it conducts. 
• In BITS Goa you can join the various events conducted and explore your skills and study at the same time. 
• In NIT Trichy academics is given more importance. 

BITS Goa would bring the perfect balance between things and at last you will still come out with a hefty package.

A senior of mine from school is an alumnus of BITS Goa and he has all the respect for the institution. He has told me that BIT Mesra is a good place for someone who would like to pursue CSE, ECE. The placement is also pretty good there from what he has heard.

Coming to BITS Goa, it is a tier 1 Indian engineering institution. Most of the students from Indian engineering colleges practice computer programming for becoming computer engineers. There are packages of 5-50 LPA, depending on the skills of the applicants. These companies do not look for academic credentials. They are only interested in the GitHub and TopCoder profiles of the job applicants.

A lot of the BIT alumni end up being managers in industries, based on hard work and luck. The package would be around 5-15 LPA. Unlike in the previous case, these companies are heavily dependent on the academic credentials of the job applicants.

BIT Mesra is a 3 tier engineering institute. Most of the students who have completed their education from this institute end up working in working as employees in the IT companies that are service-based with packages of 3-4 LPA.

It is clear how so many students from IIT Gandhinagar have answered your question before me. And this is what makes these answers slightly biased. But I would try on my part, to provide you with authentic information on IIT Gandhinagar- without coming off as biased. 

STEP 1: DECIDE YOUR BRANCH

• This is a very tricky part. It's either the Electric or CS branch that leaves students confused. 
• Honestly, it is of no use to pursue Electrical Engineering while uninterested at IIT. 
• If you are still indecisive, you can talk to the ex-students of that department. 
• BITS is great for CS and IIT Gandhinagar for Electrical Engineering. But if you still have some second thoughts, try this next step.

STEP 2: BITS vs IIT

• BITS being older and having more experience makes placements easier. They also offer more salary packages for a CS degree than an Electrical Engineering degree at IIT Gandhinagar. 
• IITs still have an upper hand as a brand name. In case you are wanting to shift to the USA for higher studies, it would be great. Otherwise, BITS Goa isn't that bad a choice in India as it is valued equally as the other IITs. 

Therefore, if the USA is on your bucket list, go for IIT. Grabbing a foreign internship at IIT Gandhinagar is easier. But then if you simply want to stay in India and study, BITS Goa and IIT Gandhinagar stand equal as a brand. 

In case you have second thoughts on learning MS applications and shifting abroad, check the next step.

STEP 3: TAKE IT EASY

• For you, neither the college nor the branch is a big deal. You have both the choices open. Think it through and choose a place where you learn for 4 years, pursuing your B.Tech degree. 
• According to location, Goa is definitely better than Gujarat, as the climate there is balanced and not extremely hot or humid.

One of my friends had an option to choose between a certain branch that held his interest among IIT Gandhinagar for Electrical Engineering or the AIEEE colleges. It even included underrated IITs like metallurgy, aeronautical, etc. But he was certain about Electrical. Eventually, the choices came down to NIT Warangal and IIT Gandhinagar. He then thought that NIT Warangal was better than BITS Goa despite having BITS Goa for Electrical. And he eventually went for IIT Gandhinagar considering its popularity.

He was a 2013 pass-out and even after this, he is still not sure if he had made the right decision. It is fine if you're unable to make a decision. But once you decide, make sure to excel at it.

Yes, BITS Goa offers international 2-months internships for PS-1, 6 months duration for the single degree, and 1-year for the dual degree. For the master courses, you can decide between Thesis and PS-2 when they reach the final semester. 

The internship is provided through a list of companies in which a student needs to fill up the preferences and then based on the aggregate or CGPA, the internships would be allotted.

Practice School-1:

• It is of 2 months duration after the second year for the single degree students and third year for the dual degree students in the summer term.
• Reputed companies offer internships such as BARC, CEERI, NPCIL, etc but the chances of abroad PS station is less. 

Practice School-2:

• It is available in the final year for both the single and dual degree courses. 
• The companies in PS-2 offer internships abroad but that depends on various parameters including the branch, projects, availability, and other factors by the companies. 
• They will ask you if you want to complete your internships in the same company be it on-campus or off-campus. 
• If you receive an offer from a company not mentioned in the Practice-School list, then you can pursue it as an off-campus thesis. You can request any faculty to be your mentor but it requires proper planning.

However, if you choose to pursue an on-campus thesis, then it is mentored under the supervision of a professor from BITS Goa whereas an off-campus thesis will be supervised by a faculty from foreign universities along with one from the campus.
