Is BITS-Pilani overrated?

No, I don’t think BITS Pilani is overrated in any way. In fact, it deserves the hype it gets because of its standard of education and the opportunities it offers. 

BITS is certainly comparable to IITs in terms of academics and faculty. It only seems a bit lacking in terms of research although it has been improving gradually.

BITS tag makes it easier to secure a Master’s in foreign universities. The average GRE score for a BITSian is around 330/340. Thus portrays the excellent English-speaking culture of BITS.

Being a part of the BITS family gives you access to its elaborate alumni network. Its alumni are working successfully across the globe and can be found everywhere be it the UK, US, Germany, France, or Singapore.

BITS Pilani Practice School is a compulsory graduation requirement for all students that comprises Practice School I and Practice School II. Practice School I is an internship of 2 months for students at the end of their 2nd year and Practice School II is an internship of an entire semester, around 5 -5.5 months either in the odd semester or the even semester in the final year. 

We can safely conclude that BITS Pilani is nowhere overrated and it certainly deserves all the hype.
