How good is doing a PhD in BITS Pilani compared to IITs?
The mentors and research facilities at IITs are much better than at BITS Pilani. However, the passing process is as much more difficult at IITs.
BITS Pilani, on the other hand, is flexible to incorporate the changing scenario and a PhD from BITS Pilani is much more industry relevant.
One of my cousins had a bad experience at BITS Pilani during his Ph.D. in the Mechanical branch. According to him, a large number of Ph.D. students in BITS Pilani drop out because of the intense pressure for producing results. PhD students are burdened with numerous tasks including the evaluation work for B.Tech. The saving grace for Ph.D. at BITS is that under a guide, your Ph.D. will be completed in 3 years like an MS from IIT.
Considering my cousin’s experience, you should consult the alumni at BITS Pilani before choosing the institution for pursuing your Ph.D. Otherwise, BITS Pilani is a reputable institution and its Ph.D. degree will hold great relevance. More so, if you get the right mentors and the right facilities, the name tag of an institution becomes secondary.

During the first semester, about 15-20 companies, including Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, SanDisk, Nvidia, Cisco, and so on, visit the campus. In the second semester, the placement is done based on your CGPA, as the companies mostly prefer students who score a CGPA above 8.

When will BITS Pilani open after COVID-19?
BITS Pilani should open up in September. The country will probably not recover from the pandemic before this. With the number of vaccinations going around, it will take some time.
You can think about a little, there are about 10 lakhs JEE Main applicants. Of this, only 5000 are selected for IIT. Even if we consider the death rate of just 18 to 20 years old, it is about 0.05%. This is equivalent to the number of people selected by IIT.
Even if lives are lost that are equivalent to the IIT intake, nothing much could happen. In the end, the decision is to be taken by the Senate and the guidelines provided by UGC. If nothing materializes, the online classes will definitely continue and any changes will be informed by the authorities to students.

- However, attending classes does make the preparation procedure much easier. As you will be always updated with the topics that are being discussed.
- During your 1st year attending regular classes will be easier. But gradually it will become tougher to balance your studies and attending classes.

For any junior, I would advise them on attending as many classes as possible. You can skip the humanities and open electives but not your core subjects. Make sure even if you miss out on the classes, you cover the syllabus through self-study.
