Having been a student at IIT Bombay (1989–91) and a faculty member at BITS Pilani (2000–2002), I have some perspectives on both these wonderful organisations.
The academic environment at BITS Pilani is designed to be very highly pro-students. There is immense flexibility with respect to which academic programme to choose, the possibility of dual degree, organisational training etc.
The academic ecosystem at IIT Bombay (as also at most other IITs) for sure fosters excellence and innovation. However the academic ecosystems at IITs are a little more faculty driven than they are student centred.
So for a student BITS Pilani is likely to be a friendlier place and for a faculty member IITs give somewhat greater autonomy

Is BITS Pilani better than IIT Bombay in terms of placement and alumni?
Studying in IIT gives a social win to you …
BITS pilani is another good institute but the fact is there you have to spend a bulk of money though it is better than some new IIT’s
Coming to the placement and alumni network IIT Bombay is the king .according to me it has the best infrastructure,placement,faculty for cse in the country
- Highest placement for bits is around 35 lakh domestic and 60 lakh international.
- Where as for IIT b is 1,10,000 USD per annum offered by Uber
60,00,000 JPY per annum offered by Works App
37,20,000 JPY per annum offered by Rakuten
Rs. 35 lakhs per annum offered by Blackstone
Rs. 28 lakhs per annum offered by Schlumberger
Rs. 25.2 lakhs per annum offered by Worldquant.
Hope it helps!!!!
Thanks for the A2A. I partial dropped from BITS Pilani to IIT Bombay. So I guess I’m eligible to answer this question. I have used IIT Bombay as reference for comparison, but almost all these facts hold good for the other 4 top IITs (i.e. IIT D,K,M,Kgp) as well.
- Competition & intelligence: Both colleges attract top minds of the country. However, I found competition in IIT Bombay >>> BITS Pilani.
- Club activities: Cultural, Sports and Tech clubs are equally active and dynamic in both institutions. One thing unique to BITS Goa is the club outings (going to beaches/treks during the weekend to have fun and interact with other club members).

- Academics: 1st year schedule at BITS is much more hectic than that at IIT Bombay. There are more no. of courses and 6 day week in BITS. (IITB has 5 day week). Semesters are also roughly 20 days longer in BITS than IITB. IITB has tougher academics only because of the excessive competition (relative grading is bad xD), else the system here isn’t that hectic.
- General rules: BITS has a strict campus in-time policy. Students must be inside the campus before 10.30pm, except if you have an outstation slip issued by the warden (I never liked this rule :D). Whereas, you can go out and come back at any time in IITB. Girls and boys can enter each others hostels before 10pm at IITB, but such a thing is not allowed in BITS.
- Location: Depends from person to person. I personally love being in a big city. Hence I’d say location wise, IITB (even IITD, IITM)>>>>>>>> BITS Pilani/goa/hyd (also IITK, IITKgp). Right outside IITB is the posh Powai area in which you can literally get everything!!!! Furthermore, nearest local train station is just 2.5km away, from which you can go anywhere in Mumbai easily. There’s also metro work going on right in front of IITB. BITS is in the middle of nowhere, which didn’t really suit me (Lot of people like it that way though, as it has its own perks).
- Placements: IIT Bombay has a slight edge in this. Nevertheless, BITS has amazing placements too! Finally depends on the individual rather than the college, in my opinion.
- Infrastructure & Facilities:. Hostels: BITS >>>> Old IITS. Mess food : BITS ~= IITB …… Sports complex: IITB > BITS. Academic block: IITB ~ BITS. I’m a swimmer. Hence, I always dreamt of a swimming pool being there in my college. The top 5 IITs have large and well-equipped pools. Coming to BITS, Pilani campus has one I guess. Goa and Hyd are still yet to get swimming pools. Furthermore, both institutions have markets and stationery shops to cater to the daily needs of its students. Coming to electricity supply, BITS (Goa) used to face quite a lot of power cuts (especially during exam time :P). On the other hand, IITB (or for that matter, even Mumbai as a city) very rarely faces power cuts.
- Laundry facility: Almost every hostel in IITB has laundry facility (incl. ironing) at very reasonable rates (~₹15 per bucket) in addition to a washing machine and dryer being there for almost every floor of the hostel. BITS also has a common laundry store, although the prices are a bit high (~₹10 per shirt).
- Gender ratio: Female to male ratio is 1:5 in IITB and roughly 1:11 in BITS (Goa). I believe BITS Hyd has a 1:4 ratio, but I’m not sure.
- Coding culture: BITS has an excellent coding culture. Huge no. of GSoC selections as well. You’ll find here that almost everyone takes coding very seriously. IITB has a fair coding culture too, but not that much into competitive coding.

- Weather: Comfort depends from person to person. IITB, IITM and BITS Goa have a warm and humid climate throughout the year, whereas BITS Pilani, BITS Hyd, IITK have extremes and are very dry. I generally prefer the former because in case of the latter, it becomes quite difficult to wake up in winter mornings and attend lectures (or do any activity, for that matter).
- Attendance: BITS has a complete 0% attendance rule. However, labs and some tutorials have some marks allotted for attendance. Few courses keep surprise quizzes as well. IITB has a 75–80% attendance rule in a few courses (that too only from 2nd year).
- Fees: BITS >>> IITB. The fees is roughly 4.4 lakhs per year at BITS as of now (increases by 15% every year). It is about 2.7 lakhs at IITB. However, both institutes award scholarships for those who seek for financial aid.
- Senior – Junior interactions: Great at both places. Freshies are literally pampered at IIT Bombay. Also in BITS, since there’s nothing much outside the campuses, a very unique bond forms between seniors and juniors within the campus. BITS and IIT both have a mentorship programme in which a group of freshies are assigned to a senior mentor. The mentor provides guidance to the freshies and handles their issues. Note: You are expected to call you seniors by NAME at IIT Bombay, whereas it is preferred to call them as “bhaiya/didi” in BITS.

- Campus size: (IIT Bombay – 540 acres), (IIT Delhi – 320 acres), (IIT Madras – 630 acres), (IIT Kanpur – 990 acres), (IIT Kharagpur – 2200 acres), (BITS Pilani – 980 acres), (BITS Goa – 188 acres), (BITS Hyd – 250 acres).
- Internet Facilities: Both institutions have good wireless internet access in addition to LAN facilities in every room. However, there is a daily limit in BITS (which is about 5gb currently) whereas there is UNLIMITED internet available at IITB.
- Reservation: Literally the main topic in every BITS vs IIT discussion! So let me add my views… BITS boasts of having 0% reservation. Hence, the intelligence is somewhat more uniformly spread over the crowd. Coming to IIT, yes… there is reservation. While some might feel that they’re not deserving, I have seen 3 categories of such people. (a) One category who work very hard once they come into IIT to prove themselves (and get a good CGPA). (b) 2nd category consists of those who can’t cope up and end up dropping out after the 1st year, leaving seats vacant for branch change. (c) The 3rd category is what is an issue. It consists of those who poorly perform but still stay in IIT wasting time (Although there are only very very few people like this). Furthermore, I’d say that roughly 85% of the people can speak fluent English in IIT Bombay (compared to nearly ~99% in BITS).
- Research: Based on my experience, I felt that research culture is very good in IITB (and excellent in IITK). Quite a lot of people (inc. me) are inclined towards research here. BITS has an okayish research culture. I’ve seen that most (not all) of the crowd here mainly aim for coding/CS related jobs.
So that’s what I’ve observed. Feel free to add more points or ask anything else in the comments section. Thank you for reading!
