Studied at BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus

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. 

Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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.

Which is better, electrical at BITS, Pilani, Goa or NIT, Calicut?

AS
Abhinav Sengupta Posted On : April 15th, 2021
B.E (Hons) Chemical Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani - Pilani Campus (2017)

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.

How are the foreign placements at BITS Goa?

OP
Orchid Patranobish Posted On : August 2nd, 2021
B.E from BITS Goa (2018)

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.

AS
Arjun Singhania Posted On : August 20th, 2021
B.E. Computer Science from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2019)

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. 
Categories CSE at BITS Pilani Goa CSE at NIT Trichy
Course Fee 19.19 lakh 5.65 lakh
Highest CTC 24 LPA 20 LPA
Average CTC 11 LPA 15 LPA
Recruiting Companies Google, nVidia, DE Shaw, Arcesium, etc. Aricent, Wipro, Honeywell, Microsoft, etc.

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

Why do BITS Goa students equate their college to BITS Pilani or IIT Bombay?

SZ
Saba Zafar Posted On : March 21st, 2023
Lives in Mumbai, Maharashtra,India

If you look at a general perspective, both IIT and BITS are extremely prestigious Engineering institutes in the country. Both have managed to contribute largely to the world's technological map. IIT JEE is the national-level exam for Class 12 students for admission to IITs while the entrance exam to BITS is the only engineering entrance exam in India to evaluate candidates on the basis of Logical Reasoning and English language skills as well.

I have drawn a general comparison between the 2 institutes on the basis of some common aspects

Entrepreneurs: The success of an Engineering institute depends primarily on its Entrepreneurship culture. Some Famous entrepreneurs from both institutes are as follows 

IIT Entrepreneurs:

  • Dipchand Deep Nishar was the highest-paid manager at LinkedIn till 2014. Currently, he is a board member of TripAdvisor and a software company called Opower and also works as an advisor for several tech companies.
  • Nikesh Arora, a graduate of IIT-BHU, is one of the highest-paid employees at Google. He is the Chief Business Officer and a Senior Vice President in the company.
  • Soumitra Dutta from IIT-Delhi is the Dean of Cornell University’s Management School.
  • Vinod Khosla from IIT-Delhi again is the co-founder of Sun Microsystems. 

BITS Entrepreneurs

  • Baba Kalyani is the Chairman of Bharat Forge.
  • Prithviraj Chavan is the Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
  • Rakesh Kapoor is the CEO of Reckitt Benckiser.
  • Sanjay Mehrotra is the President and Co-founder of SanDisk.
  • Sunil Duggal is the C

Placements 

Particulars 

IIT Bombay

BITS 

Highest CTC

Average CTC

INR 23.26 LPA

INR 30.37 LPA

Top Recruiters 

American Express, Honda Japan, Mc Kinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group

Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Visa, Adobe, Cisco

We can safely conclude that placement scenario at IIT Bombay is better than BITS.

Campus life: BITS Pilani has a better campus life and culture than IIT Bombay. It boasts of a well-planned campus, libraries and hostel facilities. It has a unique concept wherein students take tutorials from their various teachers. Its cultural event Grubs is quite popular in engineering students.

Fees: IIT Bombay Total fee is around INR 9,50,000 (BTech) whereas BITS semester-wise fees is 2,31,500/-

Since IITs are run by the government, studying at IIT is cost-effective whereas BITS are expensive.

Infrastructure: Both IIT campuses and BITS Pilani campuses have top notch infrastructure. However, most of the new IITs lack a permanent campus and are also facing a lack of a good faculty positions. BITS has a limited number of campuses that are well-established and it is known to upgrade its world-class infrastructure on a regular basis keeping up with changes in technology.

Faculty: BITS Pilani attracts the best faculty from India and abroad. It offers better salary and more freedom to its teaching staff. Whereas IITs often face faculty issues. Many new IITs depend on guest faculty or visiting faculty to conduct their classes.

I would suggest you to choose IIT mainly because of low fees and the IIT tag.

It depends on what you mean by ‘tier 1’ college. Usually, people fit the top 5 IITs and BITS Pilani in tier 1. Some people also fit the top 8 IITs and all the BITS campuses. 

According to the quality of academics, placements and facilities offered BITS Goa should be included in the same league of IIT Roorkee, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, and IIT BHU.

Which is better, BITS-Goa vs BIT Mesra?

AG
Asmita Ghosh Posted On : April 15th, 2021
Studied Electronics and Communication Engineering at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, Graduated 2019

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.
