” Worth Studying at BIT, Mesra”

Hi Guys,
Now that the much awaited results of AIEEE is out and the counseling season is about to begin…the next biggest problem that arises in front of the students is which colleges they would be getting according to their AIR( All India Rank) and which college to go for…
I hope my post could solve some of their problems… To start with, I am an Ex student of Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi and I think I could give the real picture of the college. As far as Engg is considered, the courses that are offered here are:-
1) Computer Sciences
2) Information Technology
3) ECE
4) EEE
5) Mechanical Engg
6) Production Engg
7) Polymer Engg
8 ) Civil Engg
9) Biotechnology
10) Pharmaceutical Sciences
Apart from these Bachelor in Architecture and many Post graduate programmes are being offered here. Let’s start with the first question that comes to the mind of all the students on hearing a college’s name and that is” THE PLACEMENTS” …Stop worrying for the placements if you are at BIT Mesra..The placements here are mind blowing though not as the IITs but not even less than that!!! The students are offered more than 3 jobs ( 300% placements) and that too in world’s leading MNCs
Most of the Fortune Five Hundred Companies like Microsoft, Hp, Google, Oracle, Goldman Sachs , Dell, Patni, TCS, CTS, Infosys, IOCL etc etc the list is endless, come to the campus and hire students in bulk with a very decent package of around 5L…Microsoft even offers around 10L apart from other benefits. The students have opportunities not only in the Private sectors but also in the Govt sector. But let me tell you one thing this is not the case for all the branches. Branches like Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biotechnology, B.Arch are still lagging behind as far as the placements are concerned. About 80% pharmacy students get placed at a very average salary with a general designation of Medical Rep, some go in production with an annual salary of less than 2L and the rest 2% of the students are absorbed by any IT companies. Same is the condition of Bio tech students, 10% students are placed in IT companies and the rest have to look for Off campus. For Architecture there is NO placement and the poor students who have devoted their 5years get nothing in return. But I must say the situation is improving year after year.
If we talk about the Infrastructure and Hostel facilities, they are damn good. The best thing about BIT is its greenery .The Institute is spread in many acres with greenery all around. The Institute has a very rich library with a huge number of books. There are separate hostels for boys and girls (which are actually too much separated). Single rooms are allotted to the first year students under the strict supervision of the higher management, to avoid ragging. I must say there is practically no ragging at BIT, the correct word is Interaction (Condition is somewhat like this that the seniors are afraid of the juniors and try to maintain a distance with their junior batches. For the Girl candidates, there are two Hostels-8&9. Hostel 8 is only for the freshers and Hostel 9 is for the senior batches. The hostel is extremely safe from all points and is under the direct supervision of the Hostel Warden. The only problem is that of the IN TIME.All the girl students have to be inside their respective hostels before 6:30PM!!!
Coming to the examination at BIT, Mesra: The entire course is completed in 8 semesters and each semester consists of a MID SEM (Mid Semester) and an END SEM (End Semester) apart from the Lab End Sems and Viva which are frequently taken. Mid Sem is cool because a TUTE SHEET is given and you are guaranteed with 4Questions, but the real terror is the END SEM when the syllabus seems to never ending. But again not to worry, there is a Xerox shop nearby. One more thing, don’t ever dare to bring a “CHUTKA” for the exams because if you are caught, believe me my friend you are gone for a semester…
So friends grab the opportunity if it comes your way and be a part of the BIT Family. I am proud to be a BITIAN …..Are you???
To summarize:-
Things to be appreciated at BIT:
1) Infrastructure
2) Placements
3) Library and Wi-Fi facilities
4) Hostels
Things to be improved at BIT:
1) Placement of the Non- Engineering branches
2) Student’s Independence
And lastly the most important thing, while joining BIT Mesra don’t think you are joining a college! It is a school . The amount of discipline and restrictions takes out a lot of fun. But the bottom line is in spite of these restrictions there are still enough fun to cherish for a lifetime!!
Best of luck.
Many of my friends seems to be concerned about the placement data of BIT mesra. They have asked me about the the branch wise packages, companies which are coming , number of people they are taking and etc etc. So, all those who want to know about the placement can visit these links.

  1. hey plz could you tell me the packages offered by the companies you mentioned in this post. also the highest package and the lowest package offered to the students of BIT Mesra

  2. Hi Anudeep, The highest package at BIT mesra last year was around 9 lacks and lowest would range to 2 lacks. But if u are good then u wont get down to those and will certainly bag a bigger package. The packages have gone up due to companies like Microsoft and Google. But remember u will have to be excellent to get into those. They don’t select in bulk.
    Bulk selectors are same as any other Institutes like TCS, CTS, Infosys etc.
    Apart from that BIT mesra is cool place to be.

  3. -can u plz tell me avg package of computer science
    and information technology?
    - which one is better c.s. or it?
    -which one have more scope?

  4. Well sumit , it will be difficult to segregate average package branch wise. But one thing is sure , comp science is better than the IT in terms of scope. If u are concerned abt the package only then it does not matter much as every one is eligible for all the companies and it depends more on you knowledge and skill than the branch to be selected. This is because IT companies may take more number of students from non IT branches like Mech or ECE or may be Prod.
    Based on my experience , I will advise u to go for comp Sci. as I have seen better students in it than IT. I hope I have cleared ur doubts. Do write in if u have any more.

  5. hi
    what are the scopes and chaces for higherstudies from this institute. i mean what are the oppertunaties that one get by being a student of this reputed instituion

  6. Well Akhil, I think you wanna know about PG courses. To be very frank this college is good for BE courses. Still it is good enough. As you must be knowing that this is the case with IIT’s also. Getting into B Tech is lot tougher than getting into M Tech.
    As far as the opportunities are concerned, I could not understand what sort of opportunities you are looking for?
    This is not a college to do your MBA or M.pharm because you wont get the package u deserve.
    please elaborate your question so that I can answer it more clearly.

  7. which branch is better? I.T or prod eng?

  8. Better in what sense??

  9. Hi ,
    The Professors at BIT told that there is 100% campus for BIOTECH. Can you tell me how many students got placed and where did they get placed from BIOTECHNOLOGY?

  10. Hi Anwesha , I passed out in 2007 and that year the major recruiters in Biotech were IT companies. It was close to 100 %. But the point is that there were not a single core Biotech company. Last year it was better but still no core Biotech.
    Many of my freinds went for GRE and now studing abroad. So, the biotech lot is good one at BIT and there are ample opportunities.

  11. Hi Everyone,

    I have just read everyone’s post. I am here to tell you about the post graduate(MSc, Mtech, M Pharm and ME) scenario at BIT Mesra. I have completed my post graduation from here. In one word it is ‘WORST’ from placement point of view. If you are looking for a job after your post graduation, please dont risk your career by doing any of the above 4 courses in any stream from here. I am sure you will get a better scope else where. Though i got placed on campus in a MNC but I know what i had been through and the attitude of the training and placement department especially the present placement officer toward a PG guy. Many eligible people do not land up with a job and become frustrated. The placement officer and the administration is only concerned with the ranking of the institute which is largely dependent on the placements of the BE people and to some extent of the MCA people. Even the postgraduate people are not allowed to sit for the companies by the placement department even when the HR people have no restriction. This is my personal experience. I am not going into detail since it is a public community.

  12. what r the scope of higher studies of bio tech after BE, in iits n also abroad.

    • Hi karan, As far as I know the placement in Civil is not as good as other branches. But mind u, this is in regard to to the core placements. U r anyway elligible for other IT companies n all . If u look at the core placements, it is bad for many other branches also. As u must be knowing that civil placements are not as good as other branches anywhere. I hope I have cleared ur doubts.
