It provides freedom to explore personal interests.

Placements: Placements of BITS Hyderabad are very good at around 91% and throughout the years, it has also seen a constant rise. Overall Average CTC for BITS Hyderabad is around 20LPA. Top recruiters include Atlassian, Dell, Google, Microsoft, Deloitte, Oracle, Adobe, etc.

Infrastructure: Hostels at BITS are clean and spacious. Each hostel also includes common rooms with indoor games like air hockey and table tennis, and outside courts for badminton and volleyball. Mess food is a well-balanced meal and made in hygienic places. The medical centre is open 24/7, and also ambulances come to the hostel gate in case of emergency. Courts and other playing facilities are well-maintained for every sport.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. Students can visit their chambers at given hours for one-to-one doubt clearing as well as in either lectures or tutorial sessions. Semester exams can be a bit stressful because of the good competition, but students also help each other alongside the faculty.

Other: To counter the stress due to exams, we have many fests in college. ATMOS and Pearl are the main fests that happen every year.

Worth the high fees due to ROI, but after entering, hard work is expected to excel.

Placements: The percentage placement is high, due to the brand name as well as quality of students. More than 80% of batch was planned with highly reputed companies with high packages in fields of tech, finance, and core came to hire, eg, Google, BlackRock, Nvidia, etc.

Infrastructure: Entire campus is Wi-Fi covered, and classrooms are well maintained with blocks assigned to departments like mechanical, CS, and electrical. Library is also pretty big, with a capacity of 600+, and it has a great interior, and provides a peaceful vibe for studying. Quality of hostel and mess is also good, food taste is decent with a different menu.

Faculty: Teachers, especially in my department, are very helpful, supportive, interactive, and open to doubts all the time. All are Ph.D. holders from reputable institutions and have great knowledge of the subject. Curriculum is also up to the mark, exams are an integral part of evaluation, combined with continuous evaluation. Pass percentage is high.

The college has good infrastructure, environment, facilities, and placement prospects.

Placements: The better part is that over 80% of students find placements. The lowest salary would be around 8 LPA, while the highest could exceed 40 LPA, with the average being 12 LPA. Top recruiters include Mercedes, L&T, and BHEL from the mechanical stream, and students can also choose to pursue non-teaching roles, which many do. As mentioned above, the top roles include analyst, management, and R&D.

Infrastructure: Ethernet connectivity is available in hostel rooms and the library (1 Gbps speed), with Wi-Fi throughout the hostel and academic block, and in the library (100 Mbps). The food can be considered fair, with the menu undergoing slight changes every two months. For the mechanical department, we have dedicated labs, workshops, and sandbox areas.

Faculty: The pass percentage should be well over 90%. Exams can be considered difficult and hectic, especially the midterms. Teachers are very knowledgeable, and I believe what we are taught is largely relevant to the industry. The course doesn't feel outdated, and students have benefited from industry training through internship programs, preparing them to be industry-ready, in my opinion.

Ups and downs of BITS through some unknown insights.

Placements: In my course, according to the current data, almost 98.57% of students got placed even with the current recession era. The highest salary package offered is 84 LPA. The average salary package offered is 18.34 LPA, and the lowest salary package is not mentioned to us. Top recruiting companies like Google, Amazon, and Nvidia visit the college for placements. The internship is compulsory in our college, and our college itself provides us with it through a scheme called practice school.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi facility in our hostel is not good. The land cables work better than the Wi-Fi. Classrooms are neat and tidy. Hostels are clean, but there is a dumping ground near, which sometimes ends with a bad odour. The mess food is better than most of the colleges, and the canteen is affordable. Sports facilities are quite good and almost every sports facility is available. We all get medical insurance.

Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful. They set up a Chembur consultation hour which helps us to get a one-on-one interaction with them. The course curriculum is based on Massachusetts University as it is one of the leading universities of the world. Questions are logically based instead of rote learning. Exams are quite difficult, which makes us more competitive.

Other: BITS is a recognised institute all over the country, just in comparison with the IIT. I chose this course because of the exposure I would get in this college. The best thing is the alumni network and the helpful seniors. I feel the fee is quite high, and if BITS can be made a little bit more affordable then it would be better. It regularly organises fests like technical fests and cultural fests which are quite large-scale and fun, Almost hundreds of other college members come to our campus in fests. We get a scholarship both on merit and merit-based.
