The mechanical department of BITS Hyderabad has its own advantages and disadvantages. These are-

2. The research scholars are highly qualified, and their selection criteria has become more and more strict over the years. The department lays importance on industry relevant research. The research projects are receiving good funding, and research has become more relevant and of better quality.

Disadvantages-

1. The department lacks good societies and clubs. Moreover, the students of Mechanical do not perform well in various competitions like BAJA, ESVC, HyperLoop, etc. The SAE society of Mechanical department is in a poor condition.
2. The department students do not put much effort into learning advanced concepts, because of which very few of them get good coursework related projects under the faculty. The faculty in turn, has become more and more disinterested towards putting in extra efforts for the students. 

I would recommend you choose Mechanical Engineering at BITS Hyderabad only if you are interested in a research career. This is not the best option for on campus placement.
