How is life at BIT mesra? How is the mess food, campus, hostel, and people around?

BIT Mesra is a fairly well-known university, especially among the academic intellectuals, with a rich history of many notable alumni. However, except for the people residing in the states of Jharkhand, Bihar, and some parts of West Bengal and Odisha, it is not very popular among the common people in the rest of the country.

The hostels and the mess food can be considered decent and the rooms are well-maintained. Life at the campus is okay, nothing to complain about. Some of the features which may be considered a pro or a con depending upon the person are as follows.

• Boys get single accommodation from the first year itself while the same is not true for girls; they get shared accommodation till they pass out. The girl’s hostels are also a lot stricter than the boy’s hostels with the students needed to check-in at the hostel before the sunsets.
• There are lots of clubs and societies to get involved with depending upon your level of interest; dancing, literature, debating, and music, etc. to name a few.
• The schedule is not very hectic. You will not be over-burdened with projects, assignments, and reports which are not required.
• Ranchi, though a good city, is not a metro city and you will not find clubs or discos to hang out with friends at the weekends. Instead, you will enjoy the soothing sunsets sitting in the campus gardens.

Finally, though placements and the fee are not part of the everyday life of a student, they both affect the mental life of a student in a big way; so worth mentioning. If you are from a CSE/IT/Mechanical/EEE/Production engineering branch, you will receive good placements with many top companies visiting the campus. Whereas branches such as Biotech, Chemical, Polymer engineering have very low packages at campus placements and many also remain unplaced at core companies. The fee is also higher than many state colleges and NITs as it is a private university.

If you can cope up with these things and do not have any other higher-ranked college, BIT Mesra will be a good option for you and it will offer you a good and balanced life.
