Is BIT Mesra Kolkata, Patna or Jaipur. is as Good as BIT Mesra Ranchi?
BIT Mesra has no comparison even when you put any institute of the same branch, namely BIT Kolkata, or Patna, or Jaipur. But it also depends upon the department you are opting for at the same time. However, as known, there is supposed to be no comparison between the head campus with its branches, since it is obvious that the main campus will stand out.
The things that all of the institutes are seen to share are briefed below:
- Experienced Faculty is considered to be one of the major factors of any institution
- Known to be one of the largest campuses in the Indian vicinity.
- There also is a great RND and EDC center.
- Excellent aura of the laboratories.
- It also comes with DC LAN connections, which rather all the institutions are known to entertain as a whole.
However, being at Mesra main campus has its own tinge of greatness that most of its branches cannot yet fulfill.
BIT Mesra has been known to maintain its ranking under 50 for the last 3 years in the list of NIRF Engineering Colleges Ranking.
BIT Mesra nonetheless also ranked at the 58th position by the Outlook India Ranking. The institution is ranked 16th out of 126 best engineering colleges of the nation, by the Week. Besides, JagranJosh Ranking makes it stand at 83rd place out of 100 colleges.
Which is better: IT at IIIT Allahabad or CSE at BIT Mesra?
One of my friends chose CSE at BIT Mesra over IT at IIIT Allahabad. However, he regretted his decision and after a month, got admission into IIIT Allahabad IT through the CSAB spot round.
BIT Mesra has a huge campus, however, its student intake is much higher as compared to IIIT Allahabad. Even in terms of location, Allahabad is a better choice than Mesra.
In terms of placements, the average package for BIT CSE stood at INR 19.27 LPA 2022. At IIIT Allahabad, the average package for B.Tech stood at INR 30.68 LPA during the same year.
The course fee is also much more affordable at IIIT Allahabad. The total course fee for B.Tech IT from IIIT Allahabad is INR 8,44,700, while at BIT, the B.Tech CSE course fee is INR 13,04,500 (does not include the hostel fees at both).
Thus, I would suggest you choose IT at IIIT Allahabad over CSE at BIT Mesra.
How are BIT Mesra’s CSE branch placements? What is the average package of the CSE branch?

Does BIT Mesra provide exposure to MBA students?
BIT Mesra is a high-regarded institute of engineering well known for its BTech courses in various branches. The institute's ambiance and curriculum are more steered towards engineering and all the other departments are meant for earning money only.
Sadly, BIT Mesra lacks the infrastructure and resources conducive to an MBA program. The recruiters are well aware of this situation and thus rarely do they come here for placements. For a better MBA program, the institute needs to work on personality development and provide better networking.
You will be surprised to know that last year, 7 MBA students at BIT Mesra received only 1 placement offer. So think twice before choosing BIT Mesra for an MBA.
What is the scope in chemical engineering at BIT, Mesra in terms of placement and package?
Though BIT Mesra is a highly renowned engineering college, I would advise against joining any other branch at it except for CS/IT. The other branches are not very good placement-wise, especially when BIT Mesra is such a renowned college.
Core companies do visit the Chemical department for placements, recruiting a decent number of students each year. Apart from them, few Analytics firms and IT companies also recruit from the department. These IT companies include Infosys and Cognizant. Some of the department students clear exams like CAT or GATE, and as a result, go for higher studies/PSUs.
In 2022, from B.Tech Chemical Engineering (excluding Plastic and Polymer), 34 out of 45 students were successfully placed from the campus (43 were eligible for placements). The lowest CTC was 4 LPA, the average CTC was 8.44 LPA, the median CTC was 8.10 LPA, and the highest CTC was 12.84 LPA during these placements.
Thus, BIT Mesra is not a very good choice for Chemical Engineering in terms of placements.
I scored 89% in boards. Can I get BCA at BIT Mesra Off-Campuses?
You will surely get BCA at BIT Mesra (off-campus) with an 89% in boards. However, I would like you to reconsider your choice of pursuing a BCA.
I am an alumnus of BIT Mesra (off-campus) myself. I decided to go for a BCA because I did not want to take a year drop to prepare for JEE, unlike the rest of my classmates. I do not regret my decision, I have a decent job that covers my expenses.
However, I do feel that I am doing the same thing after a six-year BCA with MCA that I could’ve done with a 4-year B.Tech (CS/IT). Also, I might have ended up earning more with an engineering degree. According to me, if you pursue your B.Tech (CS/IT) from a renowned institution like BIT Mesra, it will be more beneficial for your career in Computer Science.
Therefore, if you are from a Science background, I would suggest you to talk to a career counselor and find out if a B.Tech CS/IT will be more beneficial or not.
