Is it worth taking B Pharma in BITS Pilani?

ND
Nisha Dubey Posted On : July 19th, 2021

My brother used to be a student of BITS Pilani and from what he has heard; it is not a good institute for students who want to pursue pharmacy.

You should pursue pharmacy at BITS Pilani only if you have a strong background in physics, chemistry, and biology or you cannot get admission to some other institute.

Even if you do have a strong background in the three subjects, the chances of getting converted to a different stream are very low. You have to obtain a CGPA of or higher than 9.8. It is simply too high and getting a 257 just will not be enough.

On the other hand, BITS is a very reputed institute. It is highly praised by my friend and a lot of the students and former students as well. It is a very good institute but pharmacy is just not its forte. It would be better if you look for other institutes if you want to pursue pharmacy.

How are BITS Pilani and VIT better than IIT?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : August 5th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

Both BITS and IITs are the best institutes in India, and they provide effective class and placement support to intelligent and aspiring candidates. But VIT is not up to the mark and cannot be compared with the other two institutes. 

IIT has twenty-three campuses in India, while BITS only has three campuses, which is a major difference. This is one of the main factors that make IITs superior to BITS. 

Apart from this, they gave quality education and a resourceful atmosphere to the students. Both of them have well-experienced scholars and rich alumni networks.

You can choose either IIT or BITS based on your preferences

Does BITS Pilani get international offers for placements?

A
Admin Posted On : May 28th, 2024

Yes, BITS Pilani students receive international offers for placements, especially those who pursue technological courses. Each year the CSE department receives high paying national and international offers. There are other departments as well that receive international offers. 

However, to get such an offer you will have to stand out from the other students. To do this, you will have to maintain a perfect resume with the right number of internships and practical projects. Moreover, your English communication skills must be really good. If you work hard and maintain a good score, you will be considered for foreign job opportunities. You will have to ace the interview round to be considered for such roles. Do not lose hope and keep working hard.

Should I opt for an M. Sc. Math course in BITS Pilani?

TS
Trina Saha Posted On : July 22nd, 2021
Studied at Delhi University (2019)

You are perhaps going for one of the most difficult streams of M.Sc, which is, of course, Maths. Few of my friends are studying there and as they have mentioned, by the time you reach your third year, one of the subjects in Maths would have a good number of theorems.

The next thing you would have is coordinate geometry as a part of your Maths 1. This would come in handy while solving double/triple integrations.

However, this is still the base of things. It gets complicated ahead- although, not sure if that would be in the third year essentially. Perhaps for better clarity, you should try and reach out to someone who is actually doing his/her M.Sc from BITS Pilani

  • Now, when it comes to application and coding Mathematics, the wisest combination to opt for is M.Sc Maths along with CS.
  • By the time you become a pro at coding, these math concepts wherein you studied geometry might come in handy for the applications that you would use.
  • Try and sustain a CGPA of 8+, if you are genuinely serious about carrying along with CS as a second subject option.

My friends mentioned that students who are carrying along two degrees at the same time have CS as their ultimate aim. There were a few friends of mine who with a double degree, either ended up slogging into semesters, achieved CS with hardly any effort, and eventually, some of them had to choose chemical/civil out of sheer compulsion.

What is the difference between EEE, EnI and ECE at BITS, Pilani?

PS
Prateek Sharma Posted On : August 5th, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

BITS Pilani does not offer an Electronics and Communication Engineering Program. When comes to ENL and EEE, there are some key points you should keep in mind as an applicant, which are listed below

Opportunities – In the current scenario, EEE opens up more opportunities than ENL. For Instance, the Indian Engineering Examination is only applicable to students from ECE and EEE

Campus – BITS Pilani is far better than BITS Hyderabad as they have well-equipped lab and infrastructure

Placement – The three batches can sit for the placement, but the companies give more weight to Communication and Digital Signal Processing

So, it is better to choose EEE than ENL at BITS Pilani.

How is the campus life of BITS Pilani main campus when we compare it with IIT Delhi?

DR
Deepshikha Roy Posted On : April 1st, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

BITS Pilani is known for its huge and impressive campus and its beautiful infrastructure combined with top-quality education attracts many aspirants. There are some valid reasons I am stating as to why one should choose BITS Pilani over IIT Delhi

  • There are no compulsory attendance rules which give you enough freedom to prioritize things and manage your time well
  • The timetable is rather flow-like as it’s designed by the students itself and there are some additional electives apart from Engineering subjects to break the monotony.
  • An excellent campus with top-notch infrastructural facilities makes the learning experience more comfortable for the students.
  • BITS Pilani offers single rooms to its students from the second year itself giving the students a private dove to function well
  • The school lays great emphasis on transforming theoretical knowledge into practice through compulsory internships which are a brilliant experience.

All these reasons convinced my sister to join BITS Pilani and today she is glad she took the decision.

Should I take chemical at BITS Pilani or take a drop?

SM
Sayantani Mitra Posted On : July 20th, 2021
Studied at University of Mumbai (2019)

One of my friends studied Chemical Engineering at BITS Pilani. According to him, it is a really tough stream. It is suggested not to drop a year instead ensure that you work very hard.

  • Spend over 12 hours self study every single day for a year.
  • You should be able to get under 1000 rank in JEE next year which might be worth taking a year drop.
  • But if you have secured a much higher BITSAT score, and if you think you won't be able to work this hard, then simply take whatever you are getting at Pilani.
  • Try to graduate with a CGPA of 8.5+ and go for an MS/Ph.D. in any area of your interest.

Herewith I'm providing the basic details for BITS Pilani :

PARAMETERS BITS PILANI
Tuition Fees INR 1.78 LPA
Placement Percentage 99%
Average Package INR 17 LPA

If you opt to drop and secure admission in an IIT, you will be getting only one degree after 4 years. Whereas, you can get 2 individual degrees from BITS after 5 years. There is not much of a difference between BITS and IITs. It is certainly better than the new ones. The top 5 or 6 IITs are better than BITS but letting go of one more year might not be a wise decision.
