No, BITS Pilani is not better than IIT kharagpur. IIT Kharagpur is a government institute established in 1951. It is older as compared to BITS Pilani. 

No doubt BITS Pilani is also a good college, but IIT KGP clearly has an edge over it. Both of these institutes can be compared on few parameters as discussed below-

  • Overall Ranking: The NIRF ranking of IIT Kharagpur is better than BITS Pilani. Many National and International ranking provider platforms choose IIT Kharagpur over BITS Pilani because of its long standing reputation and huge research output. As per the latest NIRF Engineering Ranking 2023, IIT Kharagpur is at rank 6, whereas BITS Pilani is at rank 25. 
  •  Research Opportunities: IIT Kharagpur provides more extensive research opportunities as compared to BITS Pilani. As per the NIRF Ranking 2023 for Research, IIT Kharagpur is at 5th position, and BITS Pilani is at 26th. 
  • Faculty: Both of these institutes have highly qualified faculty members. But IIT Kharagpur has a larger faculty. 
  • Campus Life: The campus area of IIT Kharagpur is much bigger as compared to BITS Pilani. The total area of IIT Kharagpur is 2100 acres, whereas, BITS Pilani has an area of 328 acres in total. BITS Pilani offers a more vibrant campus life in the form of various clubs and societies. On the other hand, IIT KGP focuses mainly on academics.
  • Placements: Both of these institutes have good placement records. Almost all the top companies visit their campuses for recruitment including EXL, Google, Microsoft, Airbus, Jaguar Land Rover, Tata Steel etc. The highest and median package for IIT Kharagpur in the year 2023 were INR 2.68 CPA and INR 24 LPA respectively. Whereas the highest, median and average package for BITS Pilani in the year 2023 were INR 60.75 LPA, INR 30 LPA and INR 30.37 LPA respectively.

Based on these factors, I would recommend you choose IIT KGP. But even BITS Pilani is an excellent institution.
