A review on Birla institute of technology and sciences
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
I have enjoyed every bit of our university and have nothing to say in negative about it. I always had the goal to serve people through my education and this university provided me the necessary guidance for it.
An alluring experience at BIT
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
My experience at BIT was both amazing and exhausting at the same time, the campus environment is quite friendly and welcoming. The education system is a little more theoretical than practical which keeps us from having a strong technical background.
