Both IIT Roorkee and BITS Pilani are excellent engineering colleges and it’s difficult to compare them. However, I would like to point out some basic differences 

Fees: BITS Pilani fees are around 20-25 Lakhs whereas that of Roorkee is almost half around 10 lakhs. Considering the ROI, IIT Roorkee is a much better choice.

Campus life: IIT Roorkee organizes better fests at a much larger scale than BITS Pilani. Also, IIT Roorkee is in close proximity to tourist spots such as Mussoorie and Rishikesh, making them a good weekend getaway.

Exposure: Being a government Institution, IIT Roorkee offers better exposure in terms of research work and you can find most of the professors here working on projects. However, the alumni base and startup culture is better at BITS Pilani.

Coding and Dev Community: IIT Roorkee has an edge in this aspect because of its number of GSOC selections(highest in India) and also Top finishes in ICPC every year.

Infrastructure: The government-funded institute, IIT Roorkee has better-equipped labs and computer facilities.

Academics: BITS Pilani does not have any strict attendance rules giving enough flexibility to students to explore beyond academics. However, branch change is much easier at IIT Roorkee than Placements. IIT Roorkee has the best opportunities in the IT sector. For those willing to pursue a career in Software development, IIT Roorkee is the best place.
