Fees are increased every year by a fixed percentage. BITS is known for its high fees. Internally students can get Merit as well as merit cum need scholarships and there are many external scholarships as well.
The fee structure is mainly divided into tuition fees, hostel fees, mess fees, and other advances. The fee hike is approximately 5 percent per year. For the whole 4 years, including a fee hike, it costs approximately 28 lakhs to study in this college. There are 2 types of scholarships:- Merit scholarship: The top 1 percent of academic performers get a 100% fee waiver in the next semester and the next 2 percent get a 40% fee waiver. Merit cum need scholarship:- Those whose family income is below a certain point get this scholarship. This is more liberal and easier to get. Top 5-10 percent get 100 % scholarship and the following 10 percent get 80% scholarship and so on. Students can apply for Teaching assistant positions and the average pay is 3000-5000 per month
The fees at Bits Pilani are comparatively high when compared to other colleges and there is a hike of 15% every year. So for 4 years, you can expect a total of about 25 lakhs. But also there are many scholarships that you can avail of, one of them is the Merit cum need Scholarship and the other is Merit Scholarship. Apart from this, you can also take education loans from various banks that Bits has tied up with.
The fess hike policy is real and every student has to deal with it, though there are scholarships for merit and merit cum need on the basis of family income. There are various internship opportunities such as SI etc. We have an internship program in BITS which is part of the degree program known as practice school which happens two times in the course you opt for as a major. The first practice school happens just after the completion of the second year and the second practice school happens either in the seventh or eighth semester depending on your choice and allotment of the practice school station. Allotment of the practice school station is highly influenced by your cgpa before the semester you are applying for the practice school. As far as the stipend is concerned someone rarely gets a stipend in practice school but in second practice school there is a high chance of getting a stipend. There are two types of scholarships in bits namely, MCN(Merit cum need) scholarship and merit scholarship.
The cost of studying is quite high being six lakhs per year including all hostel and mess charges and also it is increased by 15 per cent every year which is quite high. I did not avail of any scholarship or stipend.
