    Academics

    Comp Sci at BITS is actually kind of challenging but its fairly well structured. professors know what they're doing and curriculum is updated, covers mostly what industry expects. grading system is competitive but pushes students to work harder. doesn't fully prepare you for the market but provides a rlly strong foundation to build on

    College Infra

    infrastructure at BITS Pilani is really good. campuses are well maintained, classrooms are modern and everything actually works, wifi is reliable, labs are well equipped, library is excellent. hostels are decent and neat and clean, campus life is revolves around campus itself as its kind of isolated, but overall no complaints

    Campus Life

    campus is beautiful and lively, lots of clubs and fests, OASIS is a big deal. since its residential, you really bind with people. students are driven and fun to be around, faculty are approachable, location is isolated but that actually adds to the campus culture in a good way

    Placements

    placements are very strong, Comp Sci students do really well, good companies come on campus, packages range from 15-40 lpa, and some even higher, avg is decent, placement cell is organized and BITS name brings in major companies

    Value For Money

    fees are around 5-6 lakhs per year, which is honestly very high for an engineering college, plus hostels, but given the quality and value of BITS and placements, its worth it if taken advantage of
