Birla Institute of Technology and Science - [BITS], Hyderabad

Here are a few reasons that justify BITS Pilani Hyderbad has a Tier-1 status:

• You get to interact with genius minds and learn new things
• The professors are highly qualified, some of them are Ph.D. holders from IITs and foreign universities.
• The BITS Pilani alumni network is extensive and spreads across the entire globe. 
• BITS Pilani has international ties with foreign universities making it possible for its students to do their thesis in foreign universities.
• BITS Pilani's infrastructure is top notch and the high fees are worth the quality of campus life you will be experiencing here.
• The administration is very helpful.
• Students' hobbies and interests can be pursued through a number of clubs and committees promoting the same.
• The PS enables the students to secure an internship in reputed companies for 2 months in summer vacation and a whole semester.
• The placement scenario here is excellent and at par with the old IITs.

That being said, BITS Pilani Hyderabad is rightly a tier-1 college.

As a second year student at BITS Hyderabad, I find myself eligible to answer your question.

The classrooms at our college are well furnished, spacious and air conditioned. The F102 and F105 lecture halls are huge in size. The seats are comfortable, and the lighting system is also quite good. 

The campus library is, in fact, better than those at the other two BITS campuses. The reading section is spacious, beautifully furnished and in the best condition. The auditorium is huge and mesmerizing. 

You will love to study at BITS Hyderabad, and won’t feel the lack of any facilities at all.

The BITS campuses intake B.E. students through three methods. These are-

• Through BITSAT- In this case, the admissions are based solely on the BITSAT score of a candidate. But the applicants must score >60% overall, and >75% in all three subjects i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Maths, in the 12th board exam.

• Through SATs- International students get an admission through their SATs score. But in this case, the fee is higher, and it needs to be paid in USD.

• Direct Admission- The class 12th topper (toppers if more than one student tops the exam) of each board is allowed direct admission into BITS, regardless of his/her BITSAT score. Such a student can pick any branch from across the three BITS campuses. 

Thus, it is possible only for a board topper to get into BITS Hyderabad without giving BITSAT. 

BITS Pilani Hyderabad never disappoints you, so don’t hesitate to choose BITS. Some highlighting factors about this renowned institute are given below

Peer Groups and Seniors –  As we know, BITS is one of the leading institutes in India, and they have some vibrant and intelligent students who never hesitate to help us. This is clearly evident from my peer groups and supportive seniors. BITS has an amazing culture here, which turns us into very good human beings.

Scholars – The BITS Pilani, Hyderabad campus, is gifted with experienced scholars who support the students vigilantly. They have innate knowledge about their core subjects, and we can approach them to clear our doubts both online and offline.

Clubs – Numerous clubs are available to the students, which conduct many programs every year. This culture will help us meet people who share common interests.

Attendance Policy – BITS Pilani has a flexible attendance policy. They do not need mandatory attendance to attend the exams like any other college. This is one of the main factors in the individual growth of every student who appeared here.

BITS Pilani is the best for academics, extra-curricular activities, placement support, and research facilities.

All the three BITS campuses follow the same curriculum, and the faculties are equally good at each of them. Moreover, all of them have a good infrastructure. All three of them provide excellent learning and development opportunities to students, and the peer groups at each of them are quite good. 

The slight difference is that some influential firms only make recruitments from the Pilani campus. But many MNCs choose to recruit students from all three BITS campuses. On campus recruitments do not define the entire career path of any individual. 

Some of my seniors at BITS performed really well in UPSC, some went on to pursue their MS, and others rose to high management positions through sheer hard work that they learned during those four years at BITS. The only drawback is that the fees are much higher compared to the NITs. 

BITS Hyderabad is an excellent choice for your engineering studies. But everything ultimately depends on your dedication and hardwork.

Here are some things you must know before joining BITS Hyderabad-

1. Even though you’ve secured a seat at a prestigious institution, it does not mean that the coming four years will be any easier. You’ll have to study with diligence to secure a good score, and consequently, a good placement.
2. Despite what others tell you, your CGPA will play an important role in placements. So maintain a good CGPA throughout. 
3. If you’ll carry a laptop from the first year itself, make sure to use it for studies as well. Do not waste all your time on online gaming and other things.
4. You’ll meet many new people on campus, make good networks and socialize. This will benefit you in the long run.
5. Join some clubs and societies if you like, they will enhance your campus life.
6. There is a 0 attendance policy, but try to be a bit regular. This is because certain class tests are important for your CGPA, and also, regularly attending the classes is good for a disciplined routine. 
7. The campus has all the necessary items, so if you forget to bring some minor things, you can always buy them over there.
8. Remember to pack your original certificates, plenty of Xerox copies of them and passport size photos.

Try to maintain a balanced lifestyle during your degree,and you’ll have a memorable stay at this institution.

The cancellation policy has been kept the same at all three campuses.

You will be shortlisted for admission or put on the waiting list in the Integrated First Degree Programme on the basis of BITSAT. Then you are required to pay the fees in advance for the respective subject.

• If the application form already has specified the respective program you’re willing to pursue, you will have to pay the admission fee i.e 28,050/- and the first-semester tuition fees i.e. 1,13,300/- within the deadline. In case you are still on the waiting list, you will need to only pay the admission fee.
• However, if you’re offered admission but choose to remit by not reporting at the institute on the given date then you can forfeit the total fees, in case the seat remains vacant due to withdrawal. After a deduction of INR 1000, the remaining amount will be refunded.
• If you accept the admission offer and choose to withdraw after reporting at the campus on the due date, you will be able to only withdraw the first semester fees, worth INR 1,13,300.
• Now, due to the slide-up procedures, the seat remaining vacant will be attempted to fill up in the later iterations following the first.
• In case you are on the waiting list until even the final date, the collected fees will be refunded back within the specified date.
• If you choose to pay the admission fee, you cannot subsequently remit from the process that includes “sliding up”, which simply means opting for other options like reassigning a program or choosing a different campus than the one already enrolled at.
• During the remission of fees, you’re not permitted to stipulate any order or conditions, such as changing the preferences, or other relevant factors that come with it. It will be ignored if even mentioned. However, if you’re one of the shortlisted candidates, then the conditions stipulated might be applicable.

The institute, by all means, can refuse admission on varied criteria without assigning further reasons behind the process. Principally, the ultimatum provided by the Vice-Chancellor shall be considered the final decision, regardless of any factor whatsoever.

Like any other branch, ECE also demands your dedication and passion. Here are some important things to note about B.E. ECE at BITS Hyderabad-

With respect to placements, I can’t make any judgments. This is because placements are solely based on an individual’s skill set and academic record. The curriculum is quite diverse and contains a range of topics including Physics of semiconductors, machines and drives, signal processing, coding theory, etc. 

Though the curriculum is diverse, you won’t be able to acquire an in-depth knowledge of any particular area. Moreover, the course is huge and time consuming. But, by diligently covering it, you’ll become confident and knowledgeable. 

ECE is like any other branch at BITS Hyderabad (and the other campuses), and it is a myth that this branch is exceptionally tough and non scoring.
