What I Liked

• What I personally like about this college is its crowd, and campus life is very different compared to other colleges. It has a soothing environment and is in the center of the very happening city, Bangalore. There are many other colleges in the area of Vokkaligara Sangha including ours.

• The faculty is quite good but for north indians, there is a language barrier in Bangalore especially in this college. They sometimes speak to us in Kannada which is a little confusing as I am from the north. But rest all assured, faculty knows what they are teaching.

What I didn’t like

• What I really dislike about this college is its small campus. It has many colleges near it and is built on 5 acres only. Our college has 7 floors and a small ground to play volleyball, football, badminton and kabaddi.

• Only thing I dislike about the faculty is the language barrier thing which makes us uncomfortable to ask questions since they speak in Kannada majorly. Campus life is not that good compared to other colleges if you’re expecting something big and something new.

BIT Bangalore is currently one of the top 5 colleges in Bangalore for engineering. To gain admission into this college, you need to write either COMEDK or KCET. You can also be admitted to this college by the management quota. 

The cutoff to join this college varies depending on the exam you’ve written. For example, the cutoff to join this college is between 2,000 and 75,000 if you’ve written COMEDK. To prepare for COMEDK, you need to know the PU College syllabus. The NCERT syllabus is enough too.

Course Curriculum Overview: I chose this course as it is new in the field of engineering and has various opportunities in the future. Just like how AI/ML was introduced recently and is getting popular among engineering courses, IoT and Cyber Security, too, are recently introduced courses at this college and might have a better and bigger record-breaking placement in the upcoming years, hopefully. The faculty teaching IoT and cyber security is good enough, but they are very strict towards the students. Their teaching method is old-school but easy enough for the students to understand. Term exams are held twice a year, and they got postponed due to VTU’s order last semester. The difficulty level of the term-end exams is easy-moderate. The fee hike policy is not too costly compared to other colleges, to be honest. If you’re taking admission through COMEDK, then every college has the same amount of fees, i.e., 2.64 Lakh per annum.

Internship Opportunities: I haven’t opted for any internships, but there are a few details I can give you about them. Interns get a stipend of around 7k–50k INR/ month, depending on the roles offered and skills of the intern. There are a lot of internship opportunities at BIT Bangalore. Most companies hiring interns with promised PPOs and FTEs are Boeing, GE Aerospace, and O9 Solutions. Internship roles vary, such as SDE Intern, Data Analyst, etc., depending on your skill and knowledge of the offered field.

Placement Experience: Placement and job opportunities are a lot in this college. However, due to the recession, fewer companies are approaching BIT compared to previous years. The eligibility criteria for placement are different for each branch. For CSE, you need to crack the online assessment round (OA), you need to crack the coding round; and then finally get shortlisted to give interviews to the companies to which you have applied to get an on-campus placement. A few recruiters here are PhonePe, CISCO, Intuit, Oracle, Benz, O9 Solutions, and GE Aerospace.

1,100+ offers were made to roughly 800+ students. The highest package recorded was 45 LPA off-campus. Around 70% of the eligible students get placed in their dream companies with an attractive package. My plans after getting the degree are probably a Masters in Technology (M.Tech) abroad in CSE Cyber Security or AIML.

Campus Life: Campus life is okay-ish compared to other colleges in Bangalore. We have a festival every year known as MANTHAN. It’s the biggest festival in our college and is conducted around every December-January period. 

All types of study materials are available in the library, which are the most helpful during exam season. 

Classrooms have good benches, windows for ventilation, and fans. Unfortunately, we don’t have A/Cs in classrooms.

Sports and extracurricular activities are carried out on campus, but they're mostly for volleyball and Kabaddi. You can play football too. There are a lot of clubs in our college, like The Social Club, Rotaract Club, OS Code Club, GDSC, etc. You can join any of them, and it’s really fun to take part in club activities. The hostel is good and pretty old, but it’s affordable and adjustable. The food quality is a lot better than in other hostels or PGs. We get paneer, chicken, aloo palya, and other South Indian delicacies. Registration is through the physical appearance of the hostel.
