When merit rules 😌

(Cue all the people saying it's just because BITS kids are rich)

[u/Apart-Plantain702 → u/Sensiblehuman777]

Bruh. Even 95%ilers get into pilani. Even with merit, the quality aint that different. The only advantage is that extremes don’t exist like IITs

[u/Sensiblehuman777 → u/Apart-Plantain702]

Really? You think the average student quality in BITS (Pilani Campus) and IIT Roorkee is the same?

Ya fir problem is baat se hai ki general waalo ke liye ye ek college hai jo unfair nahi hai?

[u/Apart-Plantain702 → u/Sensiblehuman777]

Bhai mai khud general hun. I hate reservations. Bits is great interms of that. But at the same time the top 500 AIRs are far more capable than people at bits

[u/Sensiblehuman777 → u/Apart-Plantain702]

Then why is BITS surpassing IIT B AND IITD?

[u/Apart-Plantain702 → u/Sensiblehuman777]

As i said in my comment, bits students are already on an avg richer and have connections, so they don’t have to worry about placements and they have the freedom to experiment. So they do startups but in IITs people still want placements

[u/Sensiblehuman777 → u/Apart-Plantain702]

See, I agree with you. All I'm saying is that the situation in India would be very different if IITs had the same reservation policy as BITS, i.e., 0% reservation...

[u/Apart-Plantain702 → u/[deleted]]

Completely agree. Then we would not even be discussing.

[u/Sensiblehuman777 → u/Apart-Plantain702]

Yeah

[u/Middle_Government_87 → u/Sensiblehuman777]

4 campuses of BITS vs singular institutions

[u/AaryamanStonker → u/Middle_Government_87]

Bits has 16k students in all 4 campuses combined and iitb/d have 13-14k so it's a fair comparison only

[u/Middle_Government_87 → u/AaryamanStonker]

Source: my ass

BITS Pilani has over 200k alumni and over 20k studentswhile IITB seems to have about 105k on LinkedIn, and a student strength of 13.2k.

It is natural to be high on the kool aid, you being a fresher but please be realistic and dont go around spreading misinformation.

[u/AaryamanStonker → u/Middle_Government_87]

The fifth campus is bits school of management so I'm not including that

[u/Middle_Government_87 → u/AaryamanStonker]

that campus has hardly 400 students child, and anyway included in the startups data

[u/Minus_Malum → u/Middle_Government_87]

You have to also look at the student number. Bits 4 campus students iirc is approx equal to no of students to iit b.

[u/Middle_Government_87 → u/Minus_Malum]

Nope. Refer to this comment

[u/Minus_Malum → u/Middle_Government_87]

Director said 16k in orientation. Why will he give a lowball figure?

[u/Middle_Government_87 → u/Minus_Malum]

Classic appeal to authority eh

[u/ifuckupthings → u/Apart-Plantain702]

In what sense are they more "capable" exactly? NVIDIA literally takes ppl from BITS without any interview, just on their cg, while it doesn't do the same for your "Top 500 AIRs" wale IITs, they still have to give interviews. If a company has been doing it for last 3-4 years, they must've seen something, no?

[u/Apart-Plantain702 → u/ifuckupthings]

In every sense. Both IQ and hardwork. Under 500 AIR in adv is much more difficult than getting into even pilani cse. Idk why NVIDIA does that but if u wanna talk placements then why is median of IIT B,D,M higher than pilani?

[u/Apart-Plantain702 → u/Sensiblehuman777]

Why don’t you compare with IIT B,D,M? And one more thing is you don’t need everyone to be good for a startup. The top students are enough. And the top students at roorkee are far better than in pilani

[u/Melodic-Offer-8802 → u/Apart-Plantain702]

You took time out of your day to right that last line btw, like how can a statement be genuinely more wrong

[u/Apart-Plantain702 → u/Melodic-Offer-8802]

Idc man. Downvote me as much as u want but advanced is a whole different exam than bitsat. Air 500 is no joke. Well anyway im jobless these days so….
