BITS Goa BITSAT cutoff 2023 (Out): Check BITSAT Round Wise Cutoffs

All the three campuses of BITS, Pilani have been recognized as the Institutes of Eminence. The Goa campus is no exception and gets all the funds under the MHRD for any such purpose.

Getting back to your question of whether your decision was right or wrong varies. Something that may seem correct to you might not give the same feeling to someone else.

If you check out the ranks of engineering colleges in India, NIT Rourkela has a better ranking. But that does not mean that BITS Goa is bad.

Always remember that there is no such thing as a right or wrong decision. If you have made a certain decision, stick to it and try with all your might to make that work.

After getting admission, there are a few things that can drag your CGPA down in the institute.

From Student’s end

• BITS Goa is a top-notch college and it is considered an achievement in itself. Most of the students come with an assured casual mindset of getting placed. This usually destroys their interest to learn.
• Zero Attendance System is followed in the institute. It is another reason for low CGPAs. Here, students are allowed to sit for exams even after not attending a single lecture. Students become casual, and this hinders their learning.
• The students give more preference to the club and department activities that distracts the students.
• Some students have a wrong attitude towards the professors, and sometimes seniors also conduct lectures.

From Faculty’s end

The grading system at BITS Goa is not up to the mark. More weightage is given to cramming which leads to poor performance of students well-equipped with practical skills.

Overall, the institute is excellent. But some of the above things can affect the grades and motivation of the students.

There is nothing called instrumentation engineering. The students usually study the syllabus of the electronic branch that includes learning low-level languages along with the complete command of them. 

• There is a very high demand for highly skilled engineers who know the top programming languages like TopCoder, GitHub, and many more. 
• Learning these languages totally depends upon the person that they can do without going to college.
• Becoming an electronics engineer totally depends upon the person, and their effort, not the college. 
• Some of the students follow the GATE syllabus to enter into the government sectors. 
• Some get recruitment in top private companies by learning these programming languages. The college can help you out only by giving a proper study environment that can promote your overall development. 

If you wish to join the private sector, then only the placement facility provided by the college is useful to you.

Last but not least we can say that the college for the instrumentation branch is the version of the electronics branch of engineering. It totally depends on you how much effort you are putting into the same and not depend on the college.

It is seen that joining every college has its advantages and disadvantages, no matter how renowned college it is. BITS Goa has very few reasons to not go there as everything is the best be it the campus, faculty, peers, or activities.

1. You will meet amazing students at BITS Goa. The campus culture is very friendly and passionate.
2. Faculty members are the best at the institution. Having great experience, they will offer you the best research opportunities and mentor throughout your academic career.
3. Various clubs are present in BITS Goa. You will enjoy each and every one of them and learn a lot of new things.
4. Goa is a famous tourist destination and the exposure it offers will always amaze you.
5. The weather in Goa is beautiful and you will always love it outside.
6. After spending your entire four years of your life in Goa you will not like any other place due to the weather and you will not enjoy the company of any other peer after passing from BITS Goa.

However, I feel there is a disadvantage at the campus. There is no mandatory attendance system followed which will make you very lazy and often led to missing classes. You will then depend upon the last-minute notes for preparing for exams.

If finances are an issue, then BITS Goa isn’t the right place to go unless you come under the EWS category (total family income less than 11 LPA).

BITS Goa is one of the most expensive engineering colleges in India. A B.E degree can end up costing about 19 to 20 lakhs for 4 years and an M.Sc degree about 19 lakhs. If you are from general category, BITS Goa will dent your wallet for the next few years.

Besides being one of the best engineering NITs in the country, the fees for NIT Calicut are much, much lighter around 5.5 lakhs for 4 years. Getting a Circuit branch is no easy task as the cutoffs are pretty high. If you’re getting ECE here, and money is an issue, then this is the place to go.

Although, if you’re under the EWS section, BITS Goa will offer scholarships based on your performance in the first year. If you’re able to obtain a CGPA of 8.5+, then a scholarship of 80% is awarded. For a CGPA of 7.5, a scholarship of 40% is awarded, and so on.
