Dissatisfied with the management, horrible placements for master's students. Campus is beautiful.
Placements: If you are a student looking to get enrolled in a bachelor's course (B.Tech/B.E), then placements are definitely a point to consider. This year, few juniors got placed in reputed companies like Microsoft, Goldman Sachs with CTC of around 24 LPA to 30 LPA while several others were recruited by various companies like Byju's, ZS associates, etc., with an average package of around 6 LPA. Six-month internships may also be provided with an average stipend of Rs. 25,000 per month. But if you're someone who is aiming for a master's course like (M.E/M.Tech but not MBA as MBAs get comparatively good placements), then you will be disappointed. For master's students, this college invites companies just for formality where most of the students are rejected, harassed unnecessarily, and terms and conditions, interview venue/timings are changed at any time, so that students give up eventually. The average salary package offered for masters can be as low as 3 LPA, but for MBAs, it's around 3 LPA to 4 LPA, and almost 70% of them get placed. The worst case scenario is for ME/M.Tech, M.Sc Biotechnology, GIS, and CAAD students, and no core company come for placements. They are made to attend the placement drives of low-grade IT companies, sales jobs, etc. When students go to the training and placements section for job enquiries, the only thing they get is ill-treatment.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is comparatively good, especially when it comes to the main building. The classrooms are really spacious and well-furnished with state-of-art facilities. But other buildings are not well-maintained. Hostels are good, but again, hostels for master's students are neglected very much in comparison to hostels for bachelor's students. BIT Mesra is really bad with its toilet facilities. The sports centre is well-maintained, but the men's gym has mostly old or broken equipment. From the research point of view, this college has a very good infrastructure with lots of state-of-art instruments. The library is very spacious but full of old and torn books. The Wi-Fi service is horrible.
Faculty: Some teachers are really helpful and knowledgeable, but some are very bad. They hardly care about anything other than their handsome paychecks. The worst part about this place is the non-academic staff and the management. Even the government sector has better staff and management than this place. The only thing they know is how to harass students. If you want to get a simple thing done, you will be made to run from here to there unnecessarily, and it might even take a week.
Other: The fest Bitotsav is grand, but they charge students Rs. 1,200 every year. For clubs and events, students will be charged Rs. 900 every year. When it comes to money, BIT Mesra's only motive is to take as much money as they can from their students. Scholarship facilities are very bad. BIT Mesra also has a dispensary and provides round the clock ambulance service. The dispensary has doctors almost 24x7, but only basic medicines are provided. The campus is beautiful, and some places are really well-maintained like the upper lawn.
