How did BITS Goa and Hyderabad develop so quickly?

Aditi Kasyup

01 Mar 22

Naturally, BITS Goa and Hyderabad weren’t planned randomly. There are years of strategic planning behind the establishment of these campuses.

I learned from one of the faculties of BITS Pilani that the late Mr. K. K Birla wanted to expand BITS campuses way back in 1990s and assigned the task to the administration to find a suitable location for the second campus. During the tech boom of the 90s, IT companies were setting up shops everywhere in cities like Bangalore, Mumbai. They strategically choose Goa as it is between these two locations and well-connected because of its airport. The location also helped them attract faculties from IIT Bombay and IISc Bangalore. Mr. Monahar Parrikar, then CM approved the project quickly, and that’s how it was possible to set up the Goa campus so quickly.

The Hyderabad campus also has a similar story. Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu, the CM of united Andra Pradesh back then, requested BITS to set up a campus in Hyderabad. He provided land for the campus and construction work was quick to follow. When the first batch joined in 20008, the infrastructure was already done.

Will there be a freshers party at the BITS Pilani Goa campus?

Ananya Mittal

Before the Covid - 19 pandemic situation, BITS Pilani Goa used to arrange fresher's parties for the incoming students. The student council used to arrange DJ nights. Every year there used to be a competition for Mr. and Miss Frasher. Food for the event used to be prepared by the mess.

What is the BITS Pilani Goa placement?

Preeti Banerjee

25 Mar 22

BITS Pilani Goa has a decent placement record. According to the placement highlights of 2021, the average CTC offered was INR 16 LPA. While the highest CTC was INR 43.3 LPA. The placement average is 91%. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Cisco are some of the major recruiters that visit the campus placements.

Which is better, CS in NIT Calicut or CS in BITS Goa?

Gautam Sinha

05 Sept 22

CS in BITS Goa is better. It offers better placements compared to NIT Calicut. Companies such as Microsoft, Google, IBM, Amazon, and Uber visit BITS Goa placements. The average CTC offered to CSE students in the campus placement is INR 15-20 LPA. Almost every student of the branch receives recruitment through the campus drive.

BITS offers better learning resources and facilities. The student crowd of the institute is excellent, owing to their no reservation policy.

Did I do the right thing leaving NIT Rourkela and joining BITS Goa, considering the recent article?

Sneha Samal

21 Aug 21

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.

How are the hostels at BITS, goa?

Mrunmay Bhatt

21 Mar 23

The rooms are very spacious, with enough room for 8-10 people to hang out comfortably. You will find everything in the room to be cool and comfortable. Moreover, the weather in Goa is quite pleasant, so you won't have any trouble staying indoors in your room all day. From 2018 onwards, most students are allotted double-sharing rooms for the first year of their stay.

The hostels are relatively new as they were completed only in 2018-2019, which means they are immaculate, tidy, and well-maintained. The bathrooms are of western style, with 10 toilets per floor, almost like the ones you would find in a decent mall. You will have access to hot water throughout the day, and even at night if you plan on playing football at 12:30 AM.

If you are staying in D-hostels 1-4, you will be allotted a double sharing room that comes equipped with a cot, a big almirah with a fitted mirror, table, chair (not wooden), whiteboard, and a few storage racks. The rooms are spacious enough for 10-12 people to hang out comfortably. The electricity and internet facilities are excellent, although there have been a few power cuts lately, which may be a legitimate problem or just cost-cutting measures.

The common room in the hostel is huge when compared to the older senior hostels. It comes with a table tennis table, carrom board, chess board, and of course, a TV with cable.

What things at BITS Goa lowers the students' CGPA?

Karan Verma

03 Aug 21

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.

Which would be a better choice, instrumentation in BITS Goa campus or instrumentation at NIT Trichy?

Vineet Kumar Singh

24 Aug 21

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.

Categories	Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at BITS Goa	Instrumentation and Control Engineering at NIT Trichy
Course Fee	19.19 lakh	5.65 lakh
Highest CTC	24 LPA	22 LPA
Average CTC	12 LPA	10-11 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, Western Digital, JP Morgan, etc.	TCS, Infosys, Reliance, Morgan Stanley, etc.

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.

What are some reasons to not join BITS Goa?

Saksham Anand

02 Aug 21

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.

You will meet amazing students at BITS Goa. The campus culture is very friendly and passionate.
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.
Various clubs are present in BITS Goa. You will enjoy each and every one of them and learn a lot of new things.
Goa is a famous tourist destination and the exposure it offers will always amaze you.
The weather in Goa is beautiful and you will always love it outside.
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.

Which should I opt for, BITS Goa CSE or NIT Calicut ECE? I am having a financial crunch.

Pooja Narayan

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.
