Love BITS Pilani. Academics are tiring, but a great college to be in.

Placements: About 85% of the students in our course are placed. The rest generally go for further studies or end up doing something else. The highest package is offered by TRC, which was upwards of Rs. 2 crores, whereas the average package goes around 22-28 LPA. Top recruiters for my course, which is an integrated M.Sc. Economics are finance-related companies such as JPMC or Goldman Sachs. Almost all the students get internships due to the PS model in BITS Pilani.

Impressed by the campus, placements, and legacy of BITS Pilani.

Placements: Placements are doing really well, at the level of top IITs. The official average package for CSE is 44 LPA, according to Reddit sources. The campus has a cutoff barrier of 10–12 LPA, which means this is the minimum any company is allowed to offer, hence companies like TCS are debarred from coming for placements.

Overview of BITS Pilani, campus life, academics, placements, extra curriculars.

Placements: The placements are one of the best if you're looking to graduate in B.Tech core roles. Mechanical roles offer >12 LPA and electrical roles reaching an average of 30 LPA. IT placements offer one of the highest placements, with most people getting around 25-30 LPA, and the top companies offering more than 50 LPA. Around 85% of the batch gets placed with a deviation of 5%, and the placement amount usually depends not just on CGPA but rather on an overall resume, soft skills, as well as roles played...

A really good place to develop your personality as a whole.

Placements: My course is M.Sc. Chemistry and the course major students go into non-tech and consulting roles and a few go into research and Ph.D. in Chemistry. Placement packages range from 10 to 50 LPA and the average package is 18 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Amazon, Jio, Deloitte, PWC, JP Morgan and KPMG. In SI, around 250 students from a batch of 1100 got internships. In my course, the top roles (if you proceed to go for core) offered are that of Chemical researcher, Synthesis and Lab specials.
