some tips about coming to uni
Tips: Look, you can’t judge the whole university by a few people, because every single batch that rolls into BITS Dubai has a completely different dynamic. It’s a massive mix—you’ll find absolute geniuses who lock themselves in the library, and you’ll find people who just want to goof off or end up misbehaving and causing drama. You just have to find your own crowd and not judge the entire student body based on a few bad apples. Outside the university gates, Dubai is literally insanely safe. You never have to worry about looking over your shoulder, which means you can just channel all your energy into not drowning in the BITS engineering workload.
Likes (Safety): I gave safety a top rating because Dubai is easily one of the safest places in the world. You can literally walk around the city or the DIAC campus area at 3 AM without a single worry, and you can leave your laptop or phone on a food court table without anyone touching it. The peace of mind here is completely unmatched.
However, you need to know the reality of the job scene before coming to BITS Dubai. The placement department isn't going to hand you a corporate role on a silver platter. A lot of the companies coming for campus drives are just early-stage startups offering pretty mediocre, low-paying roles. On top of that, UAE visa laws are incredibly strict—your student visa does not give you the right to just go out and grab a normal part-time job. To work legally, you have to jump through major hoops with MOHRE permits and get an official university NOC. Do not expect to fund your daily life with casual side gigs here; make sure you sort out your finances beforehand.
Dislikes (Part time work): No internships with actual value are offered; most of them are just startups by college universities. The jobs are mediocre, and the college dept. doesn't actually help to land a job. Before joining, please confirm your terms first; you are not allowed to have a part-time job as per your visa.

I feel very satistfied to be here in dubai and studying in BITS Pilani dubai
Tips: Honestly, there isn’t a massive checklist of things you need to do before showing up—just keep an open mind and prepare yourself for the fact that college life is a completely different ball game compared to school. Academically, it’s a big step up. I managed to score a 94.2% on my CBSE 12th boards, which actually bagged me a 20% merit scholarship for my very first semester, and that took a decent bite out of the initial tuition fees. Overall, I’m seriously happy with the engineering course, the whole Dubai vibe, and how the university operates. Moving countries was a big jump, but it’s been completely worth it.
Likes (Safety): I can see how they take initiatives to maintain our safety. Recently, unfortunately, our bus had an accident, but the driver took care of us really, really well. He made sure to get us to a safe location, and my friends and I were then picked up by my dad, and until then the driver was there to make sure we were safe even though he himself was injured and we weren't.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I just finished second year, so I'm not sure about it. Maybe once I reach the 3rd or 4th year, I'll have a better idea of this, but I had a bad experience with college placement recently, so I don't think their post-study jobs are necessarily that great. But again, this is my opinion from my limited experience.

Genuinely enjoy the experience of a college life balancing, grades and fun.
Tips: See, be prepared for it to definitely be more expensive than the raw figures call for. Secondly, it's a great exposure and a great environment to explore and find things you love to do so be proactive in it. Also, the campus and everything are much cleaner and better than Indian college campuses and all.
Likes (Safety): Dubai is a super safe place to be; you don't need to worry at all about leaving college or forgetting things anywhere at all, as they won't be stolen. Also, you can be roaming alone on the road at 4 am, completely knowing that nothing is going to happen to you and that you'd be safe.
Dislikes (Value for money): Because Dubai is an expensive place to be, and like we all can agree, we're still in an Indian college here, again, it depends on what you gain from it and what placement you get later, but you would definitely be needing a good amount of income to be paying and living here.

Excellent Academic Experience with Room for Better Post-Study Career Opportunities
Tips: The main thing to know about BITS Dubai is that the academic setup is solid, the professors genuinely know their stuff, and the campus facilities are fully up to date. There are always clubs, tech competitions, and random events happening to get involved in. Moving here was an incredibly smooth transition for me because Dubai is a massive melting pot anyway, so you never really feel like an outsider and adapting is a breeze.
On the money side, I didn't get a scholarship myself, but the uni does hand out merit-based fee waivers if your grades are top-tier, so definitely aim for those. Overall, I’ve had a really great experience with the course and living out here. But if I can give you one blunt warning: do not expect a post-study job to just fall into your lap. The UAE market is tough, so you need to look into employment realities early on and spend your entire degree aggressively networking, building up your skills, and locking down internships if you want a real shot at staying after graduation.
Likes (Safety): I gave safety a 5 because honestly, Dubai is easily one of the safest places you could ever live. Whether you're hanging around the BITS campus or out exploring the city, you just never feel like you're in any kind of danger. Campus security is always around, but the whole city itself is just incredibly secure with great lighting, cameras everywhere, and a culture where people actually respect the law. I’ve personally never run into a single sketchy situation here. I have zero issues taking a cab or walking around late at night by myself because you always feel totally comfortable. It’s just a massively welcoming and safe environment for international students.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I gave post-study jobs a 3 because honestly, trying to figure out what happens after you graduate from the Dubai campus feels like a total guessing game. The uni is pretty vague about where international students actually end up landing roles. It would save everyone a massive headache if the career services team just laid out the cold hard facts—like showing us an actual list of UAE companies that are actively willing to sponsor work visas, what the real starting salaries look like out here, and how many graduates actually get hired full-time each year. Right now, it feels like you're completely left in the dark. We desperately need more career fairs featuring employers who can actually provide visa sponsorship, and a much heavier push on placement support so we aren't just blindly sending out resumes on LinkedIn hoping for a break.

Best learning experience
Tips: I'm quite satisfied with my academic progress, and college generally seems to position students well. I got 20% as a basis that my Bachelors academic scores are above 8 CGPA. Based on the courses I'm learning, it is really helpful for my career and job life.
Likes (Post study jobs): Because, as if you still don't have any experience, college always shows you how to get a placement. I go to my internship in the morning, which is paid, and college is in the evening so that I can manage my time accordingly. You have none of the clubs here to join.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is always available to provide guidance. The teaching is very interactive, and you will get a lot of practical experience. I can say the faculty here are from different countries and are very friendly and interactive. It is fun to study here.

My thoughts on bits pilani dubai
Tips: Bits Dubai is a fun place to be. The people are nice to interact with; there is zero discrimination. The academics are challenging, but not so challenging that they take away from the important things about college. If you come here, you will learn about yourself as a person. It's a transformative experience.
Likes (Public transportation): Dubai RTA buses are very accessible for short- to medium-distance travel. Services like buses on demand make it very convenient for students to travel to most day-to-day important parts of the city whenever required. A bus stop right outside the campus makes everything very seamless.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Food options outside the campus are plentiful but often require a trip into more residential parts of Dubai. Ordering food is the most convenient option that people usually go for. Mess options (while decent) are limited. I prefer ordering in most of the time.
