Well, I’m someone who prepared for IITJEE for the past several years and right now am considering joining BITS Pilani. Needless to say I have done considerable amount of research on the pros and cons of both these premium Indian Institutes in the past few years. I do not have the authority nor the experience to declare either of the institutes to be better, I will simply share my views on this debate.
These are some of the factors to be considered.
- Entrance Examination: Despite the contrasting Exams, one has to be smart, hardworking and dedicated to do well in these tests.
a) BITSAT: This is one of the most underrated all India examination, Always shunned against the fame of IITJEE. Although the level of question is of lower level as compared to JEE, one must take Time factor into consideration. One requires an incredibly keen understanding of the concepts and must have the aptitude to apply them very quickly. Not to mention the cut-offs that are increasing at a very steep rate.
The major setback is however is the fact that not everyone gets the same uniform question paper, it changes from one test session to another .However the difficulty level of the paper is said to be maintained uniformly.
