BITS Pilani - Birla Institute of Technology and Science Answered Questions

In terms of electrical engineering, VIT is a better choice compared to BITS Hyderabad. VIT is a well-reputed engineering institute in India and is often ranked among the top private engineering colleges in the country. The institute has a good reputation for its academic programs, research activities, and placement opportunities. VIT offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs in electrical engineering. The curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental concepts, principles, and applications of electrical engineering. The faculty members are highly qualified and experienced, with expertise in various subfields of electrical engineering. VIT has collaborations with various industries and organizations, and the placement scenario at the institute is good. The top recruiters for electrical engineering at VIT include companies like Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, GE, and Honeywell. The highest package offered for electrical engineering at VIT was around Rs. 41 Lacs per annum in the year 2021. While BITS Hyderabad is also a good institute for electrical engineering, VIT has an edge in terms of the overall reputation, academic programs, and placement opportunities.

The fee for a single degree is between 22-24 Lacs, and for a dual degree, it costs around 30-33 Lacs. Again price gets increased every year. Hostel facilities at the Pilani campus are good except for the summer season during April and May; you will find 6-8 hrs electricity cut with water shortage. It is very tough to survive in summers at the Pilani campus, to be honest, as the library gets crowded during that time, and there is no power backup in any of the hostels.
