Hi everyone I am an M.E (Embedded system design)
student at BITS PILANI.
This
article is intended for those who tried very hard but unfortunately got less
GATE score . I am informing you everyone that if you have tried for something
hopefully which has n’t worked then it is better to choose the best alternative
for that. Don’t be depressive.
As
a P.G. student at BITSPILANI I can provide the following information about the college and its infrastructure.
The
life at BITS PILANI is very nice and I promise that you will enjoy it. Day by
day it will be interesting and since you
are mature enough at this stage , you will actually decide what you want to
become or what you can be? The institute
is very student friendly .
I
guarantee that it is best alternative to choose this institute if you don’t get
a admission in IITS and Top NITS.
BITS PILANI- RESEARCH
In terms of research BITS lags
a little but from the past one year so
many initiatives are taken and new courses are being introduced to improve
research level . Under project
“parivarthan” funds are granted to
renovate the college infrastructure and improve the laboratory facilities.
BITSPILANI – PLACEMENT
It’s very good in terms of placement. The
placement statistics are improved compared to previous years.

Teaching Assistantship and GATE
Scholarship:
You

for one (Fee waiver or Stipend) is 6 hours and if you get both(Fee waiver and Stipend) you have to
work for 12 hours in a week. If you are not selected there is another choice
