Has really good infrastructure and course curriculum. Imparts good practical knowledge.
Placements: So far I have no idea how many students got placed. Maybe I can fill in this column once I sit for placements. But as far as I know Biotechnology placements in terms of core aren't that good. But if one have good programming knowledge he/she will definitely get good package.
Infrastructure: As the campus is quite old the infrastructure of hotels aren't that good but are comfortable to stay. Common room facilities are available in all the hostels. Has good sport facilities and all the lecture halls are airconditioned. Solar water heating systems are installed in the hostels.
Faculty: All the teachers are helpful. Irrespective of branch if placements are not considered as a criteria to be successful one can gain good knowledge at the end of any course as the course curriculum is made in such a way to impart students with practical knowledge.

Our college has a good infrastructure, faculty members and course structure.
Placements: For ME, the placement scenario can be improved. On-campus placements are less than expected, but our seniors got placed in good companies. A majority of the students also opt for research-based studies, later on, and faculty members are also more focused on research progress, which is good if you plan to pursue a PhD later on. You can also put a practice school according to your choice in the final semester, and you can also invite new companies with your own effort.
Infrastructure: The library is very good, and the Wi-Fi facility is decent as far as I know. Classrooms are also well suited and comfortable. ME hostels are good, and the hostels which aren't good are being renovated now. The food served in the mess is decent. There are also medical and sports facilities. There is a gym on the campus and also a swimming pool. But I don't have the first-hand experience of these facilities.
Faculty: Teachers here are very well qualified, very helpful and are ready to give suggestions. They try to make classes interactive. For ME Biotechnology, courses are mostly research-oriented. The course curriculum is flexible and relevant, and professors try to include recent advances in their courses.

It is an excellent institution with the best teachers, and students must follow them.
Placements: Very less percentage of students got placed but not in core companies. The highest salary package offered is 7 LPA. I am from the biotechnology field, and very few companies visited here for placements. The practice school was good, and they offered our seniors good research institutes and companies.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is good. We have fully air-conditioned classrooms with projectors, and labs are well-structured. The campus is big, so you have to walk a lot. You cannot explore the whole campus in one day. We have a well-defined medical care centre. There are many small food centres.
Faculty: Education is good over here, and they have the best facilities. Faculty members here are very cooperative, and they will provide you notes. The evaluation is both closed and open book type so that you can gain a lot of knowledge over here. Lab exposure is good, and you will learn a lot from practical knowledge. Faculty members over here will teach you how to troubleshoot things. This course curriculum is relevant.
Other: I have chosen this course because I want to be in the research field. Fests and technical events are conducted well over here. You will be enjoying this place a lot.

Proud to be a BITS student, and I wish to enrol my kids in the same college.
Placements: Placements in the college are excellent. For internships, the students get an opportunity to work with the top brands like Mu Sigma, ZS Associate, Beckman Coulter and many more. Students also have the chances of getting placed in the same company in which they did internships.
Infrastructure: There are two types of buildings in BITS. One building is of simple structure, and the other has a unique structure, so it is a mixture of old and new styles. The whole campus is enabled with Wi-Fi facility. The classrooms are big. There are many shops in the college. There are lots of restaurants that provide very good food.
Faculty: Most of the faculty members in BITS are PhD holders. They use both board and PPTs for teaching. Some courses in the college are open to all. One of the famous courses was Bhagavad-Gita. Our curriculum has many courses. You can opt out the subjects as per your choice, and some of the subjects were compulsory as per the curriculum.
Other: The college organises lots of events related to music, art, drama, social cause, etc. Oasis and Bossom are two main events in the college. Many celebrities such as Farhan Akhtar, Benny Dayal, and many more visited the college to perform in the events.

Good environment to study and faculties are great and helpful. Food is good and healthy in mess.
Placements: Very less students were placed from my senior batch. Internship we have to find it on our own. As our course is research oriented, so they mainly focus on core subjects that makes ready for any further abroad studies or to pursue Ph.D. Top roles offered generally in any quality testing labs or food testing labs.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very nice. All the necessary facilities are provided. Medical facility must be improved a little. Yoga should start. Otherwise everything is fine. The food quality in mess is good. Playground is pretty big and all sorts of indoor and outdoor games can be played. Gym is also there and swimming pool too.
Faculty: Teachers are really nice and helpful and very knowledgeable. They always make us updated with what kind of new research is going on. This totally make us industry ready as faculty members have very good lab skills and all are research labs. The question pattern is pretty innovative and all are knowledge based.
Other: The entire course is very nicely planed. I am learning my subject of interest. I won't improve anything about my course. Fest and campus surrounding is amazing.
