It ranks first in private engineering colleges and 3rd in Pharmacy colleges in India. It has a unique startup culture because of relaxation given to choose a semester off and work on your startup idea. BITS Pilani has one of the best infrastructures in our country. It has no attendance policy and also one can sit in placements of other branches as well.

I chose B.Pharm here at BITS because it is one of the oldest colleges in India. It offers this course and has a unique R & D placement benefit for corporate job. For entry in BITS and B.Pharm degree the procedure is same. Give BIT SAT exam which is held twice a year and according to cutoff trend of that year you would get admission into it. There are regular tests like in schools and after that there are mid-sems and end-sems in Birla Institute of Technology and Science.

For every course here at BITS, the fee is same that is Rs. 3 lakh for 1 semester. It includes total fees along with hostel charges at the time of registration. So, an extra of Rs. 60,000 is also paid. There is no discount for category students but scholarship is awarded on basis of your academic performance.

The faculties here at BITS are well qualified as they all have completed or are pursuing Ph.D or Post docortate from other countries. They are writing research paper continuously. They teach us using blackboard, PPT’s and last 5-10 minutes of lectures are for doubt solving session. If you still have doubts then you can mail them and ask for appointment for doubt session rather than lecture hours. Teacher to student ratio is 1:20 in BITS which is great as compared to other colleges in India.

Yes, our Institute has a placement cell. There are regular sessions/workshops held to make students aware of sitting and giving an interview. Near to 80% of students were placed last year and many more were going for higher degrees for startup companies like Microsoft, Google, Apple, Nutanix, and many more. They come here to offer placements to students. The maximum package was of 60 lakh per annum and lowest was 7 lakh per annum with median being 18 lakh per annum.

Yes, BITS Pilani campus offers hostels for students of every degrees with room capacity of 2 and one in 1st and 2nd year. You will get double room after that single will be offered and boys & girls hostels are separate with the rules that no one can enter. Mess food quality and menu is good and is one of the best. I have eaten in any college mess and it really has great hygiene. The mess workers wear mask gloves all the time. Hostel fee is Rs. 50,000 per semester which also includes the mess fees. There is no certain timings for hostel entry.

It has state of the art academics block structure with its newest block NAB. It offers classrooms under the general land level.
