So, the final decision is yours to make!
Which college should one take up for architecture, BIT Mesra or NIT, Trichy and why?
My uncle is a successful architect and has the experience of employing many architects. He shared his experience stating that architecture students of both BIT Mesra and NIT Trichy are Unfortunately both the institutions are engineering colleges where architecture is considered equal because both are engineering colleges with Architecture as just one of the many specializations offered by the institute. None of these institutes are specialized in this field so the students study in a more engineering-oriented ambiance. They lack the ability to think independently of constraints imposed by engineering abilities available in India. I recommend you pursue Architecture from an institution that has Architecture as its flagship course like CEPT or SPA.
Nevertheless, comparing Architecture from BIT Mesra and NIT Trichy, I will say the former has a better crowd and opportunities than the latter. Both are somewhat at similar levels and it's hard to make a direct comparison. It's that students from BITS Mesra are better exposed so they make better Architects than NIT Trichy students.
How does a BIT MESRA hostel room looks like? Can anyone provide some photographs?
A typical hostel room at BIT Mesra is a 10*10 space. It has single occupancy and contains a bed, a chair, a table, and a few racks to keep your belongings. Each room has proper ventilation. The windows face the open grounds which grants easy access to mosquitoes and flies into the rooms. Each room has a tubelight and a fan. Some hostel rooms are comparatively new, while the others are a bit old. However, the rooms are pretty decent and have decent space for a single occupant.
My brother lived in hostel 10, 7 and 5 during his first, second and third year, respectively. The rooms in these were new and pretty decent. During his final year, he stayed at hostel 3 and his room was decent but very old. However, in the same hostel, his friend got a room which looked new.
The rooms at BIT Mesra are good enough and you will find them livable.
Which would be better, CS at NIT Silchar, IT at NIT Raipur, or ECE at BIT Mesra/NIT Jalandhar?
IT from NIT Raipur is the best option among these. The institute offers good placement opportunities for IT and CSE. Each year around 100% of students get placed from the IT department. Reputed IT companies such as Samsung, MuSigma, Oracle Cloud, Cognizant, etc. visit the campus placements. According to the highlights of NIT Raipur placements, IT department has an average CTC of around INR 6.78 LPA.
Which one is better bit Mesra or LNMIIT Jaipur?
When talking about BIT Mesra and LNMIIT Jaipur, you need to reconsider the branch you are opting for. If you are anyhow interested in pursuing the branch of Computer Science, and you are simultaneously not getting the required seat at BIT Mesra, then choosing CSE at LNMIIT Jaipur will not actually be that bad of a choice.
- Despite all facts considered, BIT Mesra still is one step taller in regards to the academic background since it was established years back and is known to be very old. Other than that, it has earned the reputation it now is known for in India.
- LNMIIT is still sowing seeds of growth and is in its early years. Yet, it has not stopped it from growing rapidly, each particular year, in every aspect as important.
- BIT Mesra boasts its average package of INR 9.11 Lakhs Per Annum, and the highest that it has reached over time, from the national aspect is 34 lakhs per annum.
- The zeal that this institution enjoys pushes past every other record, thus choosing it over the latter will supposedly be a better choice, if not the best.
BIT is hoping to push past more records, and enhance over time. It is known by students too that you will not regret the 4 years time of your course after graduating from the institution.
On contrary to BIT’s success, LNMIIT stands with an average package of 10.2 lakh per annum. That means both of them are good. But regardless of that fact, BIT Mesra still stands one step higher from LNMIIT Jaipur in total.
What is the best advice a senior gave you at BIT Mesra?
My brother is from BIT Mesra, so I think I can help you by answering this.
- The most common mistake that first-year students make is joining several of the clubs in the mistaken belief that these decisions would pay off in the long run.
- My brother was fortunate to have a senior who advised him not to join these clubs, but instead to seek out clubs such as ACM, IEI, UNESCO, and others that have minimal politics and invited students to join the club based on their performance in the various activities of the club.
- As a CSE student, he followed and participated in ACM activities religiously. This not only helped him improve himself, but it also gave him the self-belief and confidence that everyone needs to succeed in their professional life.
The same senior advised him to maintain a good CGPA throughout the academic year. He also asked him to practice coding.
In short, ACM and/or open-source stuff is the way to go for a CSE guy.
How good is BIT Mesra for an MCA?
My friend is pursuing MCA from BIT Mesra and they find it to be an average course academically but definitely a profitable one in the future because of BIT's brand value. BIT ranks #16th on the NIRF rankings but its infrastructure and quality of faculty members cannot be said to be the best.
Highlight:
Here are some points to be noted.
- BIT has turned a bit mercenary with its high fees of about INR 80,000 and the administration disregards the students.
- The placement rate is around 90% and that's one of the best things about BIT. Most of the seniors have been placed with names like Amazon, Hero Motocorp, and Axis Bank at an average pay of INR 4.5-6.7 LPA.
- The mess food is average as well. Almost every year there’s a hike in mess fee.

Which is better, BIT Mesra Jaipur or JECRC for a BCA?
My cousin attended both colleges. He left BIT Mesra to join JECRC. Here is his insight for the institutes.
Comparison:
- BIT Mesra has better faculties, better brand name, better opportunities in terms of placements as well as higher studies. But unfortunately, the campus is not that good. There is a lack of cooperation from the university and less crowd.
- In JECRC, you will get a good college experience. After all, all that matters, in the end, is your skills.
- If you don’t have any interest in socializing and want a life with a brand name to carry forward, BIT Jaipur is definitely the better alternative.
For CSE particularly, the preference order should be BIT Jaipur >> JECRC.
Should I take CSE at BIT Mesra or NIT Jamshedpur?
The best way to determine the right choice between CSE at BIT Mesra or NIT Jamshedpur is to go through a comparative analysis of both colleges. Consider the following parameters
- Campus : BIT is a private engineering college so it obviously has better infrastructure and a well-maintained campus. Its location also is quite favorable in contrast to Jamshedpur. NIT Jamshedpur campus is also decent although not at or with BIT Mesra.
- Infrastructure : Both the institutes have well-equipped computer Labs and other facilities.
- Degree : BIT Mesra offers a degree of Bachelor of Engineering (BE) whereas NIT Jamshedpur offers a degree of B.Tech (Hons)
- Placement : Most companies that visit BIT also come to NIT. BIT Mesra's average package last year stood at INR 13.01 LPA while NIT Jamshedpur's average package was recorded at INR 14.72 LPA last year.
- Ragging : NIT Jamshedpur has a ragging-free campus while there are rumors of ragging incidents at BIT Mesra.
- Fees: NIT Jamshedpur fees are much less in comparison to NIT Jamshedpur. The first-year fees at NIT Jamshedpur are 1.88 Lakhs (1st Year Fees) while that at BIT Mesra is INR 3,03,500/Y
Both the colleges offer similar opportunities with minor differences. So if you want the NIT tag, Hons degree, and lower fee then go to NIT, else BIT Mesra is the one for you.
