Which institute is better: VIT, Vellore or BITS Pilani, Goa?

Sabatini Nema

The campus life combined with the quality of education offered at BITS Goa is incomparable to VIT Vellore. The Bachelor in Engineering CSE programs of BITS Goa and IIIT Hyderabad are becoming very popular these days. In fact, IIIT Hyderabad is even becoming better than IIT Mumbai just because of this program. As for BITS Goa, it will soon be at par with the Pilani campus in the near future in terms of brand and opportunities. 

College life here is very dynamic with vibrant fests like Waves. The college has a well-disciplined campus life. Life at VIT Vellore is pretty dull and full of restrictions. The admissions are unbiased and only 3 major companies visit for bulk placements. 

BITSAT requires more academic grounding than VITEEE. BITSAT follows a negative marking system that VIT does not. The level of difficulty of questions of BITSAT was higher as compared to VITEEE.

No matter how many pros VIT has, it cannot be compared to any BITS campus in terms of brand value and academics. So choose BITS Goa!

Is BITS Pilani equivalent to IITs?

Shruti DasguptaStudent at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

I find comparing BITS Pilani and IITs very lame as both have their own strengths and weaknesses and have made a strong mark in the educational world. Moreover, the ‘better’ institute depends on the individual and the branch he is looking for. For CS and EE, BITS is going to be the best option for you. But if you cannot afford the high fees then IITs will serve you better.

Although BITS is comparable to the old IITs, the suitability depends on the individual itself and is not generic. Everyone has different criteria to judge a college. Some focus on infrastructure while some give importance to placements and research. It depends on the individual on what to prioritize and then make a choice that suits his priorities the best.

Which is better, BITS Pilani (Pilani campus) or IIT Ropar?

Partha ChoudhuryB.E. Computer Science, Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (2024)

BITS Pilani has been in existence much before IIT Ropar and while it is just growing, BITS Pilani would be a better choice. 

It’s not only the Institutes with the IIT tag that have contributed to the successful future of engineering and promoting it, but the institutes other than IITs such as BITS Pilani, IIEST, and Jadavpur University have played a significant role. 

Categories BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus) IIT Ropar
Course Fee 19.19 lakh 8.58 lakh
Highest CTC 24 LPA 18-20 LPA
Average CTC 15 LPA 8-9 LPA
Recruiting Companies Wipro, TCS, Accenture, Dell, etc. HP, Tata Steel, Deloitte, Capgemini, etc.

The education they furnish is the same as that of any IITs. Therefore, BITS can be taken into consideration.

Is BITS Pilani really a good institute?

Raktim Tarafdar
Navneet SinghStudied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

A good institute is a very generic term. Everyone has their own criteria for a ‘good institute’. In my opinion, a good institute is one that offers an excellent college life experience combined with a top-notch education.

BITS Pilani has a poor NIRD Rank because NIRF focuses on research and the location of the institute while evaluating this, 2 factors that BITS Pilani fails miserably in. However, if you look at other rankings, BITS Pilani scores pretty well.

  • India Today: BITS Pilani B.Tech ranking by India Today is 7 out of 10 colleges in India in 2022
  • The Week: BITS Pilani Overall ranking by The Week is 5 out of 34 colleges in India in 2021.
  • IIRF: BITS Pilani B.Tech ranking by IIRF is 1 out of 173 colleges in India in 2022.

Additionally, BITS Pilani has excellent infrastructure and hostel facilities. It also organizes 3 major and several minor fests. Oasis is the second-largest cultural fest after IIT Bombay Mood Indigo. Considering all this, I think BITS Pilani is certainly a good institute.

Will BITS Pilani get an IIT status?

Deepshikha Roystudied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

No, I don’t think BITS will ever get an IIT status. The IITs are no longer the statement because their brand value has been diminished owing to their increasing numbers. The reason why IITs gained fame in the first place was because of their exclusivity which has been hampered now.

BITS on the other hand will never choose to dilute its brand name as it stands high with the Birla brand. It has been maintaining its exclusivity and the IIT status will do no good to its reputation.

Should I choose BITS Pilani or Motilal Nehru NIT Allahabad for a CS degree?

Debottam ChowdhuryB.E Computer Science, BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus (2021)

Many have pointed out that the campuses of BIT Pilani (any location) are no doubt better than MNNIT Allahabad. However, this answer does not focus on this, which does not signify that it is not a good institute. It is the best institute, and both of these institutes are the best choice considering your future perspectives.

  • Studying in BITS Pilani is quite expensive, and you have to spend approximately 17-19 lakhs to complete a course of two years tenure. Thus, many people cannot afford this, and for the MNNIT, Allahabad is the right alternative.
  • Besides, you can also consider the location of your hometown. If you take admission to the nearby institute, you can go home many times between the semester gaps.
  • The main thing is that both of these are great colleges and you have to think about the fees as per your financial background, as MNNIT Allahabad is cheap while BITS Pilani runs on money.

Many people vote like Pilani campus > Goa campus > Hyderabad campus, considering some of the courses. So, if you want to study CSE, then honestly, it is Pilani= Goa= Hyderabad. But you must also think about the weather and hometown proximity.

Is Anna University better than BITS?

Moinak RoyB.E(hons) from BITS Pilani, K. K. Birla Goa Campus

While the average CTC offered was INR 28.99 LPA. Microsoft, Amazon, Walmart, etc. are some of the major recruiters that took part in the placement drive. 

Although BITS fees are way higher. Anna University courses cost about one-tenth of BITS.

Which college is better for a BTech, DTU or BITS Pilani?

Akriti Banerjeelives in New Delhi

BITS Pilani is a much better option to pursue BTech than DTU. Here are a few aspects I have considered before arriving at this conclusion

  • Placements: The best part about BITS Pilani placements is that students of all branches are allowed to sit for all companies. In DTU however, mostly CSE students are allowed followed by ECE, ME, and other branches. 
  • Batch size: The huge batch size of DTU results in immense competition during placements as companies only hire a fixed number of students from here while there is no such limitation on hiring the number of graduates from BITS.
  • Package: Some companies offer different packages to BITS and DTU students. For instance, Goldman Sachs offered INR 32 LPA in BITS but only INR 23 LPA in NITs, DTU, and NSIT. 
  • Recruiters: All DTU recruiters visit BITS but not vice versa. Top companies like Apple, and Cisco only visit BITS.
  • Internship: BITS provides an internship for 6 months while DRU provides an internship for 2 months only so the exposure and experience gained are limited.
  • Hostel: BITS Pilani has excellent accommodation facilities whereas DTU has no accommodation facilities for Delhi residents.
  • Entrepreneurship: BITS has a better startup culture than DTU.
  • Freedom: The zero attendance policy at BITS is what attracts the majority of students here as they are instilled with a sense of freedom in their academic routine.

Considering the above factors it’s safe to say that BITS Pilani is a more lucrative option than DTU for BTech.

Is it good to study M.Tech in data analytics from Bits, Pilani Wilp manner, as executive manner?

Sanovar Lohia
Tithi AggrawalFounder, NextBigWhat

Doing M.Tech in data analytics from BITS Pilani, WILP manner is not a good option.

Unless your M.Tech is full-time, the industry will not give it any importance. It wouldn’t matter even if you ace your degree.

If you can afford it, pursue a degree on-campus and full-time. Unless you have adequate experience to back it up, an online degree is not considered as good as a full-time degree.

If you wish to continue in academia, WILP or executive courses are especially not recommended.WILP courses are designed for individuals to learn and work simultaneously. However, it is much better to pursue a full-time course, even in BITS Pilani.
