B.E. Computer Science - Batch of 2027

4 years of shaping myself

Tips: Since I was born and brought up in Abu Dhabi, I did not have a major cultural transition when I started college in Dubai. I commute to Dubai every day, and I have found the environment very comfortable and multicultural. I have personally never experienced discrimination, and since BITS Pilani Dubai Campus has a largely Indian student community, it also feels familiar in many ways. One of the biggest positives for me has been the exposure to research, technology, and internships, which helped me build practical work experience alongside my degree. The main drawback is the high tuition fee, especially when converted to INR. However, studying in Dubai can provide good access to the local job market. Students should also explore BITSAT scholarships, as the entrance exam may offer better opportunities.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): Having been born and brought up in Abu Dhabi and spending my college years computing to Dubai, I am already very familiar with life in the UAE. I find Dubai to be a safe, peaceful and multicultural place to live, and I feel comfortable with the lifestyle and environment here. There is also a diverse mix of people and cultures, and I have personally never experienced discrimination. I would definitely consider setting in the UAE in the future if I get the right career opportunity. Being able to build a career while continuing to live in an environment that I am already comfortable with is one of the main reasons I rated the settlement options highly.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): As of this morning (17-09-2026), all these payments remain failed. I had already informed the XOXODAY team. Until yesterday, there was no update on any of these, but yesterday Harsh (Point of contact at XOXODAY) asked for the details of all the failed payments, so the situation may improve. I am still awaiting their response after yesterday’s discussion.

BITS Dubai, could be better.

Tips: BITS Dubai is mostly just an Indian university, just located outside India. If you came here expecting it to be like a foreign university, you would be left disappointed since most of the students and faculty consist of our people only. If you came here for BITS' name that's famous in India you probably better off going to the Indian campuses. The university has its ups and downs. The faculty can range from excellent to not great, the latter being more common. The campus could be much better considering the amount of students they take in and the fees they charge them. The education quality varies astronomically depending on the professors you get. Dubai as a whole is okay-ish, if you have the money to spend, you'll have fun. If not, it's alright. The most annoying part is the transport, since if you don't have a car, it's a nightmare to go anywhere in Dubai, and the public transport leaves much to be desired. Overall, BITS Dubai is slightly lacklustre compared to its other campuses back in India, but it's a good option if you wanna experience Dubai.

The Night shift reality of BITS Pilani dubai

Tips: There is a transition phase, as there are many strict rules with heavy fines, but slowly we get adapted to the city and its rules. Yeah, there are scholarships for PG based on your UG degree's CGPA, which is directly discounted on semester feels in hostel and tuition.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members are friendly and available most of the time. Teaching quality is good, and they also use Harvard business case studies in our MBA course, so the class is more interactive. The teaching faculty is mostly from India, but there are also a few professors from Egypt, England, Iran, etc.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are no part-time jobs for students, but students can work as interns in internships with NOC from the college itself, which are very easy tasks, even the college helps with the placement division to find internships for students (only MBA). But finding an internship with the proper desired role is a little difficult, but you can.

The balanced reality of BITS pilani evening life

Tips: There are rules to be followed in Dubai, so there was a transition phase, but it is pretty easy to adapt. Yes, the scholarship for PG here is based on your UG degree’s CGPA, which is directly deducted from semester fees. Pretty decent course and good country.

Likes (Safety): As everyone knows, it's Dubai, so it's always safe here, and we need not worry about safety, 24/7 cameras and quick responses from emergency teams, including doctors on campus, etc. There is no such incident but yea once in class a student got fainted during an evening class and professor arranged on campus nurse and also an ambulance to make sure the student get the proper treatment also the most expenses for treatment are covered in medical insurance from college.

Dislikes (Student Life): Mostly evening classes are from 6:30 to 9:40 pm for MBA students so they can focus on internships in the morning time. Some events are organised, and many clubs are also there to participate, like the Wall Street Club. And there are random cricket matches played in MBA batches themselves for fun.

an absolute average to decent experience in BPDC dubai

Tips: It's definitely a new experience, meeting ppl from diverse ethnic backgrounds can be quite exciting, definitely something that takes getting used to for the initial few weeks or so. I got a 25% scholarship through my CBSE board exam and BITS scores. On a scale of 1-10 (from least to most satisfactory), I'd say about a 7

Likes (Safety): Dubai, especially from a woman's perspective, is very safe. ppl are really approachable and friendly for the most part, and hence, even if you find yourself alone or out late at night or at any time, literally, you'll still feel safe. during new years eve tho, ppl have to be a little safe while going out. In my first year, I had a bad experience with a random guy touching me inappropriately in the crowd, but don't hesitate to seek help.

Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part-time jobs are pretty average for the amount of hours you're investing, like lab assistant roles, and the pay is pretty good, however, slots get filled up fast, so not all get the opportunity to sign up for part-time work. Off-campus opportunities are also pretty limited, especially for ppl with a student visa. UAE residents, however, have countless part-time opportunities bounded by their resident visa
