BITS Pilani Dubai campus is a great choice over VIT, SRM, or Manipal. Although the fees are high, they are worth the quality of campus life, the international exposure offered, and the excellent faculty pool. Moreover, the BITS Pilani Dubai campus offers two internships during the tenure and guarantees placement after Btech. The infrastructure is top-notch and the labs are well-equipped and excellent sports facilities are offered.

DTU, NIT Delhi and IIIT Delhi campuses are nowhere near the BITS Pilani Dubai campus. VIT and SRM are also on the other side and have decent campus facilities with great faculty and placement scenarios. But it's pretty tough to clear AIEEE and BITSAT etc. with lakhs of people competing for a few seats. 

Thapar University is a good institution. I would like to talk about the three parameters on which one would assess a university and tell you how Thapar is performing in each-

1. Placements- Placements are pretty good at Thapar University. If you are among the top performers, you will find yourself placed in a big company. Some of the big companies that visit the campus for placements are- Texas Instruments, Sandisk, Maruti Suzuki, Honda, etc. 
2. Academics- Thapar is pretty decent academically. Since 2015 it has changed its curriculum. The new curriculum is project-based. In the first year, you will get to learn about Catapult Design and in the second year, you will get to do a Buggy project. This institution offers some unique projects to its students and if you are hungry for knowledge, Thapar University is the right institution. 
3. Infrastructure- The infrastructure is good and the sports facilities are ample. There are four tennis courts, one football cum race track, one cricket ground, two basketball courts, one volleyball ground and one extra ground to play the sports of your choice. There are 6 boys hostels and 4 girls hostels. The classrooms are good. 

Overall, Thapar University is a good institution and it has all the facilities in terms of academics and infrastructure.

First of all, your statement is false, BITS Pilani is certainly ranked by the QS World University Rankings. BITS Pilani Overall ranking by QS World University is 1001 out of 1400 colleges in International in 2023 and it was 1001 out of 5500 colleges in International in 2021.

International rankings are a repetitive process, each year taking a fresh look at institutions that deserve to be included and institutions that deserve to be displaced. Usually, Indian universities struggle in international rankings because they are extremely teaching-focused, and thus their research is either lesser in volume, international recognition and influence, or both.

Over the past few years, top private institutions in India have brought changes in this system and are becoming more qualified for inclusion in international rankings.

If you are looking for official rankings released by ranking bodies, magazines, and newspapers, then you have come to the wrong place. I dont believe the rank of an institute is the right way to evaluate its credibility and worth. Rank is just a number assigned by magazines and newspapers for advertisement and is often misleading.  

I feel it's better to refer to national/international standards for that. KIIT has been awarded 'category A' by MHRD, govt. of India and also enjoys'Tier 1' accreditation for Engineering streams by NBA of AICTE. This is what you call a big achievement and the right portrayal of the institute's image. Despite being younger, it can still be compared to old institutes like KIIT and Manipal.

KIIT provides excellent opportunities even to an average student. The institute focuses equally on both academics and extracurriculars to ensure holistic development. The placement scenario is decent and many big companies like Tata Power, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel, JSW Energy, JWIL Infra Limited, Stellantis, Accenture, Cognizant, TCS, etc visit the campus. 

Overall, the institute is a great choice if you are looking for a vibrant college life and good academics.

DTU, earlier known as DCE, has a rather obsolete curriculum and pedagogy. Despite that, it invites more than 450 recruiters every year. These companies are well aware of the excellent coding culture at DTU showcased through the student's online presence on top sites like HackerRank/HackerEarth/Codechef. So if you are a coding lover, DTU has opportunities at par with top institutes like IIITH, IITB, and BITS Pilani.

However, rankings are done on various aspects including GO. Considering all the branches of DTU, it rightly deserves to be among the top ten due to its location. 

But NIRF ranks it poorly as it considers a variety of parameters like:

• TLR, Teaching, Learning, and Resources: DTU has very few approachable faculties thereby bringing down the ratings
• RPP, Research and Professional Practice: Recently, DTU has received funding so it’s slowly improving its research culture which earlier was non-existent.
• GO, Graduation Outcomes: DTU has a good graduation outcome almost comparable to IIT Bombay.
• OI, Outreach, and Inclusivity: This brought down the rankings miserably. 

So we can conclude that NIRF rankings are based on useless criteria and shouldn’t be considered to evaluate colleges worth and credibility.

I don’t believe that all BITS Pilani campuses are equally ranked. They certainly have a few similarities such as the curriculum and policies but apart from that the campuses have many major differences. Here are a few components based on which I have ranked BITS Pilani campuses

• Placements: Placement-wise the ranking of BITS campuses is Pilani>Go>Hyderabad. BITS Pilani has the best companies and packages followed by Goa. Hyderabad has a relatively lesser number of companies and the pay is also less.
• Practice School: Under this program, students go through a six-month internship in many great companies like Amazon, Apple, Goldman Sachs, Flipkart, Nomura, etc., and there are hundreds of companies to choose from. The only difference in the campuses is that you can make it to the top companies by scoring a 9-pointer at the Pilani campus while a 7-pointer at the Hyderabad campus. This is mainly because Hyderabad students are made to do summer term courses to get a few extra points during the allotment process.
• Campus life: The Pilani campus is remotely located and the students love a challenging life here. But all the harshness of the campus makes them grow as a person. Goa and Hyderabad campuses enjoy prime locations and facilities thereby offering a different type of development. However, the Pilani students are more open-minded, flexible, and hardworking than students from other campuses.
• Education: Sadly, the quality of education is deteriorating in all the BITS campuses. The faculty pool is pathetic and the mean grade is deflating day by day.

So, research well, talk to alumni of all the campuses, and then make a well-informed decision.
