Admission to Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra in 2014 was based on JEE Main ranks, with candidates registering on the CSAB counselling portal for college and branch allocation. The faculty is well-qualified, many with backgrounds from IIT and IISC Bangalore, and some with international PhDs. Faculty-to-student ratios vary. The semester examination comprises quizzes, mid-semester, end-semester exams, and assignments, totaling 100 marks. While faculty are supportive and strict about attendance, there are mixed reviews on teaching methods, and reports of partiality. The course structure aligns with NEP guidelines, combining theory and lab work suitable for current job markets. Fees are high compared to other government colleges, at approximately 1.5 lakh INR per semester including mess charges. Placement is a strong aspect, with a high rate over 80%, particularly for branches like Computer Science, ECE, and IT. Annually, over 300 companies, including Microsoft and Amazon, recruit from the campus. Circuital branches see average packages of 16 to 22 LPA, with maximums hitting 98 LPA, while non-circuital ones get 8-10 LPA on average. Students can participate in placements from their 7th semester, with internships starting in the 6th semester, offering stipends from 20k to 125k per month. Scholarships, like the GP Birla Scholarship, offer tuition waivers from 25% to 100% based on GPA, and financial aid is accessible through SBI campus loans. The overall B.Tech cost is about 20 lakhs, with tuition fees rising annually by 10%. Scholarships and financial aid are available mostly based on merit and need, but may be less accessible for students without reservations or with family incomes above 8 LPA.
