BITS Pilani - Birla Institute of Technology and Science

Hi Ram,
It's a bit difficult to get CSE at any of the campuses of BITS at the score you have mentioned. But, you can try for other engineering courses at any of the campuses of BITS Pilani. You can have a look at this link for getting more clarity on the cutoff scores: http://bitsadmission.com/cutoffscores2017.aspx
Also, your child can do one thing- He/she can take admission in Integrated First Degree Course at Pilani campus, and if your ward performs well in the semester examination and brings more than 8.5 CGPA, he/she can transfer into CSE course.
Best wishes.

Hi Ashish,
You can try doing your B.Tech through lateral entry from good colleges like DTU, JMI, MIT Manipal (Karnataka), and NSEC Kolkata. These are top institutions of engineering which will give you enough exposure and learning to become a good electrical engineer and help you land up in any good core electrical company.
BITS does not have lateral entry.
Best Wishes.

If the fee structure is not an issue then BITS, Pilani offers much more than any NIT. Obviously, BITS is better but it also depends on the branch that you are getting.

BITS-Pilani civil is better than BITS-Hyderabad mechanical in terms of placements, unless one is interested in mechanical. IIIT-Pune is a new and quite unheard of. So, can't be compared.

Hi Mukul,
The average package of an MBA fresher at BITS-Pilani is in the bracket of 8.5 LPA to 10 LPA.

Hi Lokesh,
It depends upon the course that the one is pursuing from BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus. About the companies, I can just mention that all top-notch companies visit campus for recruitment. But, as a student, I would like to suggest you that you should not be looking at these figures exclusively for evaluating a college for selection. It all depends on how you perform at the course and how much you grasp during the tenure of engineering.
Best wishes.

Hi Sakshi,
It's not about how high you score in your 12th standard. For getting direct admission in BITS, you need to be a board topper. Otherwise, you need to appear for BITSAT. However, you have scored really well in 12th, so it would not be very difficult for you to crack BITSAT. Give it a try, you'll make it through.
All the best.

Hi Aseema,
There are only two systems for getting admission in BITS Pilani. One- you need to appear in BITSAT examination, and the other one is- if you are a board topper. Other than these two, there's no way of getting admission at BITS Pilani.
Hope it helps.

Hi Kusuma,
Both the colleges are very good. But when it comes to Computer Science and Engineering stream, BITS Pilani certainly has an edge over MNNIT. It is at par with IITs in CSE branch, so I think the better choice would be BITS Pilani, Hyderabad campus.
All the best.

Hi Asis,
I think there is some issue with your evaluation or exam result. I would suggest to immediately mail the entire scenario to the concerned admission office at admnoc@pilani.bits-pilani.ac.in
You must try to reach them over phone and enquire clearly about it. The contact numbers are 01596-242205, 01596-515330.
All the best.
