Why is BITS Pilani always compared to IIT?

Both IITs and BITS are leading technical institutes in the country and are often compared to each other in terms of placements and the quality of education offered. While IIT is the dream college of many engineering aspirants you will be surprised to know that anyone who makes the bold decision of choosing BITS over IITs has never regretted it. 

One of my friends recently joined BITS and was all praise for the institute. He got pre-placement offers from a six-month Practice School internship and also gained a lot of exposure through various clubs. His family had taken this decision after much anticipation preferring BITS over the IIT tag and their decision fetched big profits. 

BITS has some unique aspects in contrast to IITs such as the No attendance rule followed in foreign universities. Moreover, BITS is considered highly in terms of industrial ties, placements, Practice School for Internship, clubs, academics, location, infrastructure, faculty pool, and the elaborate alumni base. All this makes BITS an excellent choice over IITs!
