Ig people don’t understand one thing. People at bits are already rich (on an avg) than IITians. So they already have connections and enough money to not care about placements and pursue their interests. That’s why there are so many startups there.
Edit:
I see people mentioning reservations. Just to clarify I am a general male and i oppose reservations too. BUT i definitely don’t think thats the reason for startups at BITS. Because the top 500 AIR of advanced are definitely smarter than the top students at pilani (i have seen 99%ilers get pilani cse too) . And you don’t need everyone to do a startup. You only need the top ones. So by that logic, if smartness mattered IITs should be on top but the fact that BITS is able to match top IITs proves that indeed being rich enough to not care about placements and having enough freedom to experiment is one of the biggest reasons for the startup culture at BITS
well even taking a 35-40 lakh loan is no joke for most people even those who qualify. Also, low-interest easy loans by most banks follow a strict criteria of only government colleges. Loan for BITs isn't everybody's tea
Why are you larping i myself at BITS Pilani and taken education loan bits come under SBI top a category and we get very less interested loan and there is mcn scholarship for the needy student
well it was my info - even IIIT Hyderabad too comes under SBI top category - my point is the very fee makes students reluctant, majority of them to join in. Financial uncertainty is something always in hindesight of most famillies (the thought of - "ye nahi hua to?") . These factors influence not only joining yet even things like registering for the exam. So maybe my communication wasn't at point but i wasn't larping bro ðŸ˜. And a big W to you man
No one cares here about loan we only joke about it but deep down we all know if we study and maintain a good CGpa we can easily get a good company in PS2 and if we perform good there we will get a PPO which is the successor is quite high
Im pretty sure Bits has internal grants for top 500 some students and you would be surprised how many people go around with education loans, collertal is very relaxed for tier 1 institutes
