Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, requires JEE Main scores and participation in the JOSAA counseling for admission, particularly for the Computer Science Engineering (CSE) branch, which typically demands a rank within the top 10,000 in India. The faculty is well-qualified, mostly holding PhDs, although teaching effectiveness varies. The student-to-faculty ratio is around 1:50, which can hinder interaction. The four-year B.Tech program costs approximately 16-17 lakhs, including hostel and mess fees, with tuition fees increasing annually by 10%.
Semester fees are between 1.2 and 1.5 lakhs, plus mess fees of 12,000-18,000 per semester. Despite the relatively high costs compared to other semi-government institutes, various scholarships based on merit and financial need are available, such as the GP Birla Scholarship, which offers 25% to 100% fee waivers depending on CGPA and financial status. Placement opportunities at BIT Mesra are strong, with around 85% of students placed, and nearly 100% placement for CSE and IT branches.
The highest package was 81 LPA, and the average for CSE is about 20 LPA, while the overall average is 13 LPA. Over 200 companies, including major tech firms like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, recruit from the campus. Students are eligible for internships from the 5th semester, offering stipends from 30k to 80k per month. Despite a slight decline in placements in 2023 due to economic factors, the institute maintains a solid reputation and alumni network, ensuring robust job prospects.
