Colleges in Pilani

If you can write about the course you are interested in, it would be easier to answer your query.

BITS-Pilani would be the better choice if the interest of engineering discipline is towards computer science/ electronics as it has got stupendous placements in these domains. However, this doesn't imply that NIT-Surathkal has a poor placement record in CS/EC. Its just that, BITS has got an upper edge in these domains than NIT-S. If you want to go for core branches like Civil/Mech., go for NIT-S. The campus life of BITS is awesome whereas NIT-S has its own beach where students can tranquilize. Both the institutions are good and have their own pros and cons. I suggest you to select one as per your branch and preferences.
All the best!

BITS is any day better than VIT for any specialization. The pedagogy, infrastructure, and placements are far better than VIT. Plus, the campus life you get at BITS Pilani is amazing and unmatched. So, I would suggest you to go to BITS!
