Hi Pallavi,
BITS-Pilani has its flagship course of CSE which is at par with the IITs. But, as you have mentioned you are getting EEE at BITS Pilani Campus and ECE at MNIT. There can be different factors on which you can take your decision. Firstly, you can opt for a branch transfer if you score above 8.5+ CGPA in your first year (and if seat is available) and can pursue CSE from BITS. However, The EEE course of BITS is also good in terms of pedagogy as well as placements. The academics of BITS is highly flexible, so you can also pursue coding and programming during your tenure and get into a bluechip company at your final placements. When it comes to MNIT, the ECE course is equally good as BITS and the placements are impressive over there too. Mostly, the students get into a software profile and get into SAP, Oracle etc., and obviously, the fee of MNIT is quite lower than BITS. So, take your decision accordingly.

Hi Sandesh,
If you are determined enough for scoring about 400 marks in BITSAT then nobody can stop you doing that. However, a planned strategy for accomplishment of objective is always helpful. You can start with building your foundation from the NCERT textbooks. Be clear in developing strong fundamentals and hold over Physics Chemistry and Maths. After learning the basic concepts, get down to the reference books for each subjects. For Physics, S. L. Arora & H. C. Verma are good books to go for. For Chemistry, Engage Learning by K. S. Verma, Solomon & Fryhle and for Maths R. D. Sharma, M. L. Khanna, A. Dasgupta would be enough. After that go through Engage BITSAT Explorer and solve it thoroughly. Also from the last six months try giving BITSAT mocks and do analyze them thoroughly. And lastly, stay motivated and believe in yourself.

Hi Shadman,
Firstly, BITS-Pilani doesn't have its campus in New Delhi. Secondly, the eligibility criteria for appearing in the BITSAT entrance examination is as below:
The candidate should have obtained a minimum of aggregate 75% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects (if he/she has taken Mathematics in BITSAT or a minimum of aggregate 75% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology subjects (if he/she has taken Biology in BITSAT in 12th class examination, with at least 60% marks in each of the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics / Biology subjects.

Appear for JEE Mains and try to get into colleges like NITs, DTU, VIT, etc.
