Question by Gaurav on Jun 18, 2025Hindi

Sir how do rate bits dubai . My child is preparing for jee this coming year. My plan is that if we dont get admission in some good college can we take bits dubai in our list as they offer seats on board results

Ans: About BITS Dubai:
• BITS Dubai is part of the BITS Pilani group — the degree is the same as what students get in BITS Pilani India.
• The campus is in Dubai, and the system follows the same pattern as BITS India — good academics, flexible curriculum, and focus on projects.
• They don’t ask for JEE — admission is based only on 12th board marks (usually above 75–80%).
• It’s a very good backup option if JEE results don’t go well.
• Classes, labs, and faculty are good. Students get international exposure.
• Many students go for higher studies abroad after graduating from there — like MS in USA or Canada.
• Safe and friendly campus — a lot of Indian students.
Things You Should Consider:
• Fees are high — around ?10–12 lakhs per year, including living costs.
• Placement support is there, but not as strong as BITS Pilani India, especially for jobs in India.
• For job placements, many students come back to India or go abroad for further studies.
• If you are looking for core company jobs in India, then off-campus efforts will be needed.
