Putting BITS Pilani Dubai Campus in the same category as American University of Sharjah is absurd.
The definition of “real education” will depend from person to person. It will also depend on your background. I am a BITS Pilani student in Dubai and I will not hesitate to admit that there are flaws. It is not the best university in the world.
But it is decent enough for me, to do what I want, better than my other alternatives.
The reason why I said it depends from one Indian person to another NRI person is because:
- Do you want to do Engineering? Yes? Which I’m assuming you do since you mentioned of BITS Pilani in your post.
- Can you score enough for JEE-Advanced TO get the seat of your choice? There are lots of people here, at least 150+ who come from India to study here, many of whom not because they failed to get into JEE-Advanced but they failed to get the discipline of their choice.
- Can you afford education abroad in M.I.T, Harvard or any of the Ivy League colleges? If No,
- Can you go to American University of Sharjah? (This is actually a pun since AUS is supposed to be way better) No, too expensive?
