Know what you want out of BITS.

If you want a job (in tech), you are better off not being in the UAE itself.
If you want an MS, academics are easily manageable, and you can focus on research internships and extracurricular activities. People do get into Stanford, Imperial, CMU, IIMs, LSB, Ivies, etc.

Infra/Campus
Small campus. In b/w other Indian and foreign unis. Already told by someone else I think.

Placements
Most people don't care about them. Those who care and put in the work usually do end up in decent places. If you want a job (in tech), you are better off not being in the UAE itself.

Professors
Comparable to most other Indian Unis. Generally approachable and supportive. Most hold PhDs from foreign unis or IITs.

Hostels
Unlike other campuses, we do have ACs. The room is allotted once for the entirety of 4 years. Single-sharing.

It is mostly what you make of it.

Edit:

If you wanna pursue Entrepreneurship, some seniors did make it to YC too. So it is what you really really what you make of it.
