Which is better, mechanical at BITS Pilani Hyderabad or ECE at NIT Calicut?
Both the colleges are really good and come with their own tags. In one, you will have the NITian tag and the other will give you a BITS tag. In the end, you will have to make a choice between the branch and which one you like more.
If you are interested in coding and electronics, ECE will be a good fit for you. If you are good with fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and like hands-on work with machines, mechanical is another really good option.
With ECE, you will probably end up working in core firms that are IT-based. You should figure out what kind of life you are looking for and what field you want to study.
What should I choose, a dual degree MSc program in BITS Hyderabad or some branch in NIT Raipur, or CSE in NIT Puducherry?
Choose BITS Hyderabad over NIT Raipur or NIT Puducherry. Here are some of the reasons for choosing this institute:
- They offer a beautiful campus with an enthusiastic student crowd.
- BITS Hyderabad has updated modern machinery and lab facilities.
- The placements definitely differ between the BITS and NITs.
- NIT Raipur is very old-fashioned in its approach towards studying and learning.
- Their faculties teaching method is old and prefers their students mugging up notes rather than learning and understanding something.
- BITS, unlike NIT Raipur, their teaching method is industry-oriented.
You might think that going for a dual degree is better as IT companies only prefer CSE graduates. But nowadays this notion has changed as with big data and analytics creating a boom, more and more such companies visiting campuses and hiring people from all branches.
Therefore it is suggested that you go for BITS Hyderabad, where you will grow and learn in a much more competitive environment. Your vision will be broadened.
Which is better: BITS-Hyderabad or NIT Warangal?
In my opinion, NIT Warangal is better than BITS Hyderabad. It is a top NIT and branches like CSE, Electrical and ECE at it are comparable to the top IITs. I would in fact say that all the branches at NIT Warangal are good. In terms of facilities and infrastructure, both the colleges are comparable. However, you will get much more exposure at NITW.
NITW conducts seminars and workshops by IIT professors and other eminent professors from foreign universities. It has a better collection of books- both quantity-wise and quality-wise. In private colleges one can keep 2-4 books at a time, but in government colleges, there is no such limitation on book allotment. For placements too, NITW is better. It has a greater alumni network and better industry connect because it is much older than BITS Hyderabad.
The best option is to take up CSE at NIT Warangal for great career opportunities. But at the end of the day, your efforts will determine your future. Your college tag is important but what will matter more is how much effort you are ready to put in on your skill development.

Which is a better option: EEE at BITS Goa/Hyd or ECE at NIT Delhi?
There are 2 factors involved here. First is the branch and the second is the institute. Speaking course wise ECE and EEE are somewhat similar and offer good career opportunities. You can choose either according to your interest.
NIT Delhi is 2 years younger than BITS Hyderabad campus and 6 years younger than BITS Goa campus. The older the institute offers better opportunities and better known.
So BITS has an edge over NIT Delhi in providing the best opportunities when the institute factor is taken. BITS also has much more recruiters than NIT Delhi. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered at BITS Goa and BITS Hyderabad is around 5 LPA.
What is the cancellation procedure of an admission at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad campus and the refund of the fee?
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.
Which is better to join DTU/NSIT/IIITD or new IITs or BITS Goa/Hyd Dual for CSE?
I won’t recommend you choose a dual program from BITS. For CSE, I would highly recommend IIIT Delhi. It has great research opportunities. It does not have the same branch value as NSUT Delhi/ DTU, but its growth rate is high. It will soon become a brand like IIIT Hyderabad. Compared to the new IITs, IIITD has a locational advantage because it is situated in the national capital.
BITS dual is a decent choice, but only if you get a CS. It depends on your performance in the first year. The odds of getting a CS are less than 20% which is pretty low, and the cutoffs keep getting higher each year. As far as the ‘BITS’ tag is concerned, it's really not that important in reality.
For the new IITs, go only if you are getting a CS over there. Do not rely on branch change. Also, avoid going to those located in small/ secluded towns because then you won’t get a lot of exposure. Also, do consider the faculty and infrastructure if you plan to go to a new IIT. My order of preference for CSE is IIITD > NSUT Delhi/DTU > BITS Goa/Hyderabad > IIT.
Thus, for a CSE, I would suggest you to choose either IIITD or NSUT Delhi/DTU.
CSE BITs Hyderabad vs IIT Dhanbad?
Well, before answering this question, the heartiest gratitude to all the candidates who have cracked this toughest engineering entrance in India.
The main thing is that you must decide why do you want to join IIT. Is it only for the IIT tag, or you want to follow your passion?
The tagline of IIT is obviously important, but it works only if you are studious towards your dream. Otherwise, it becomes worthless as well as you will ruin the reputation of these institutes, that IIT.
Another important thing to be considered that if you are outstanding in CSE and gets the chance in IIT Dhanbad, then you will be to do more research, over-viewing the facts, like infrastructure and facilities of both of these institutes. However, BITs is generally better, and one of my friends was there for BITSAT 2017; the institute is really awesome.
Additionally, IIT Dhanbad is the old IITs, but it is still an IIT, and it gives the student a great height regarding their future career perspectives. It is properly funded still now and will be better in next year’s. But you should not expect a better life here than BITs Hyderabad. The main thing that should always be remembered is that good institutes always lead to a confident pathway, but you have to go alone in this pathway to fulfill your passion.
Thus, you must choose your branch first; after that, you can move forward.

Between an M.Sc chemistry in BITS Hyderabad and CSE in VIT, which is better?
Based on mine and my friends’ experiences, here are some points I would like for you to consider in this regard-
- The branch should always be your top priority. For a dual degree in CSE at BITS Hyderabad, you’ll need to score more than 7.6 CG. That would mean an average +30 in most subjects (relative grading). Phoenix Dual is a better option than VIT CSE.
- Dual degree will take away a lot from your campus life. You won’t be able to enjoy clubs and events to the fullest.
- BITS Hyderabad undoubtedly has a better crowd quality. Moreover, it carries the prestigious ‘BITS’ tag.
- BITS will give you a more quality campus experience with better academics.
The decision has to be made by you, but I hope that these points will guide you. Whatever you choose, make sure to maintain a good academic performance in college, so that you end up getting decent job offers.
