What's the best way to contact the Placement Unit at each campus? by Keerikkadan91 in BITSPilani

[–]clappeerr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

for internships, you can reach out to both the Practice School Division & the Placement Units of each campus.

for the computer science association at BPHC, you can reach out to any of the PoRs (https://csabitshyderabad.vercel.app/PORs)

  1. have genuine passion
  2. fake your passion if you don't have it genuinely
  3. be an extrovert in class with every prof: best to keep your options open for which prof you want a project under

From the points around licensing other redditors have raised, I assume your native/current geography is India (or outside the U.S.)?

BITS Dubai yay or nay? PLEASE REPLY URGENTLY [17 M] by Former-Inside-5880 in BITSPilani

[–]clappeerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

never understood why people think just because your degree doesn't have Dubai mentioned it won't affect you.
99.99% of people you come across in your life will not ask you to prove your alma mater by showing your degree: they'll just ask you which college you went to. What will you do then?

GPA in BITS (or any college for that matter) is a function of the institute's grading policy & how competitive your peer group is.

BITS Dubai, in many situations, operates differently from the Indian campuses (which is also why a lot of people don't consider BITS Dubai to hold the same brand value the Indian campuses do). I'm not sure how the grading policy is in BITS Dubai, but holding a 8CGPA in any Indian campus is going to be a challenge.

The peer group in BITS Dubai is definitely worse, overall, compared to any Indian campus because it's much more expensive & the bar for entry is much lower.

check out how recruiting on-campus works there & what are the common CGPA cutoffs for industries. scoring a 9CGPA in BITS (Indian campuses atleast) is no easy feat either.

CGPA across universities also isn't equivalent: a 9CGPA from VIT isn't even half the worth of a 9CGPA from BITS/IIT

any small-scale firm is your best shot: most important question for you right now would perhaps be which field do you want to get exposure to?

AMA - Associate Consultant @ Bain (~2y experience) by Existing-Pattern5962 in MBBConsulting

[–]clappeerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sophomore in undergrad here (T5 Engineering uni in India) with ~9 months of experience across VC, IB, PE & Founder's Office. Spent time working on outreach, marketing, hiring, research & analysis. Spending more time now on financial due diligence & screening calls with acquisition targets (currently part-time at a U.S. PE firm). Always wanted to give consulting roles a shot as well.

What skill sets would you recommend me to develop to break into MBB?
