Hello sir , I have 4.2 year work ex as a data engineer (27 F, general category). I have got bits pilani mba in business analytics (pilani campus) , my cat didn't go well. I have talked to few students there although intake is really less (67) but high work ex people do suffer there. And i m in mainstream role as a data engineer there i don't know what kind of roles i will be getting as this is an engineering college so management students are not treated good. It is good for freshers or with less experienced people actually, i don't know if this is the scenario with all tier 2 colleges these days or with bits. So in this case what i should do basically I have no motivation for going to bits apart from mba degree and bits tag,money wise also I might not get that much which i might get now after switching company but yes bits fees is less. What should I do in this case ? 1.should I go to bits 2. Switch company and try for 1 year programs like great lakes,iim kozhikode BL 3. If nothing happens continue with data engineer role and try for product based In bits they are going to teach same python ,data structures along with some business subjects which i already know .

Ans: IIT Biombay is a better college for doing MBA as compared to BITS which is more known for Engineering. One option is to do your MBA in Operations and Supply Chain if your work is relevant to that field. Else can do in any area of your interest.

Ans: Hey,
if you can get scholarship at BITS then go for it else go with govt college. work well & make a great portfolio in 4 years and you can shine. you are very hardworking & will do well anywhere.

Ans: GITAM School of Technology Hyderabad’s CSE program (NAAC A+ accredited) is delivered by PhD?qualified faculty across AI, data?science, and cybersecurity labs, engaging 900+ recruiters for internships; over 2,262 of 3,474 participants secured placements (~65%) with a median package of ?4.80 LPA. Mahindra University Hyderabad’s B.Tech CSE (NAAC A grade) features multidisciplinary cloud, AI/ML, and cybersecurity labs, partnerships with global firms for six?month internships, and a ~90.7% placement rate in 2023, engaging 48 recruiters with a median package of ?8.50 LPA. BITS Pilani’s new 5-year 3+2 integrated Civil + MBA (NAAC A++, NBA accredited) combines core civil engineering labs (structures, geotech, materials) with two years of MBA at BITSoM, aiming to produce technology-enabled managers; mature placement data for the dual?degree cohort is unavailable, though Civil Engineering at BITS Pilani sustains ~90% placements over three years, and the MBA arm leverages BITSoM’s corporate network.

Recommendation: Prioritise Mahindra University CSE for its proven ~90% placements, robust specialized labs, and global internships. Next, choose GITAM CSE for strong foundational training and broad recruiter engagement. Opt for BITS Pilani Civil + MBA only if your son seeks an elite integrated leadership pathway in civil and can accept inaugural?batch placement uncertainty. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
