Guys I am facing a huge dilemma in making a choice between goa or Pilani campus

Pilani: closer to home, will save lot of money in campus outside campus and travelling home, legacy campus more recognition outside bits, better bonding between peers as heard from seniors, the nostalgic old college and campus life, will not feel homesick, really low branch maybe not even MSc

Goa: much better branch MSc at goa allotted already, dream campus, better clg life or lifestyle you may say, really expensive after 40+ lacs fees and expensive flights, scared to go away from home, goa life is just love

To sum it up apart from better branch at goa and saving money in Pilani my main issue is that I am just unable to leave my home I feel homesick already and smh I am so connected to my home that I feel scared how lonely my parents will feel rather than me myself, but the decision between clg life and homesickness is killing me so I am just confused on what to decide pls seniors if you can help if you were in the same position yrs ago🙏🙏🙏

Mods please don’t delete it i would be joining bits anyway so this would be of great help

Hey seniors, I had a few queries regarding public transport facilities near goa, I'll be commuting to goa through trains and i wanted know what is the best way to get here from vasco railway station and madgaon railway station

Are there any buses from these railway stations

And what's the taxi/auto fare from these railway stations

Thank you, hope to meet u there soon

Will it be awkward to attend the convocation without my parents?

Whats the real price of books of first year ? some pps say there runs a like a scam ritual where pps with high cg oversell books for way higher prices . Is it true ? (one of my relatives told me but i wanted to confirm ? ) , and like most things are available as free pfs and almost all things are circulated widely through google drives and all / a central file sharing system ?

Title,whats the procedure.

I'll be joining BITS Goa for PhD and reporting is around end of this month. I accepted the offer and paid the admission fee, but I still haven't received any update regarding hostel allotment.

I had mailed the admissions office a couple of days ago but haven't heard back yet.

I wanted to ask:

Have hostel allotments for new PhD students started?

Do most full-time PhD students usually get hostel accommodation, or is it difficult because of limited availability?

How does hostel allotment work and when will we be given the rooms?

Is it possible to come home during semester break of every year? I heard almost everyone comes back during the first year semester break but people get very busy from second year onwards and do not come back home.. Can someone please clarify this?

i heard that a 2nd yr senior from Pilani transferred to Goa last semester and got a 10, is it true?

I will be reaching delhi on 29th at 8 in the morning.From there how do i get to pilani without wasting a whole afternoon waiting for either the direct bus or train and whats the best way.Thanks guys

I was going through the ERP to check what dels I could take, but under the ERP, there were no dels under Year 2 Sem 1 optional. And as for the huels it says 1 required. So does this mean I have to necessarily take 1 huel (which could sum up my total credits to 21) and that I can't take any dels?

PS: I'm a Math dualite

As 3 huels are required , is it possible that I can take 2 huels in 2-1 and 1 in 2-2 , any senior pls help....

Sorry if this question sounds lame but I will be joining Pilani campus this year. Now suppose I am admitted to some branch in my first year and I get to know people there and socialise but I work hard and manage to get a horizontal transfer to my preffered branch(msc eco in my case), will I be treated as an outsider there because the ones admitted to eco before would have already socialised before and I would be new there. Is this the case or are people welcoming towards ppl who get transferred to their branch?

1. How is the sports scene? Do ppl play cricket/football regularly? The team plays against who exactly? and is BoSM taken srsly lol?

2. How true is the 0% attendance thing in the mentioned branches? Like practically can one survive with say a 20-30% type attendance and self study, in the mentioned branches?

3. can anyone pls explain why everyone says grading in bitsp is bad?

4. How is the CP scene??? Is BITS P declining in CP? (saw this on reddit like 2 months ago, please correct me if im wrong) Is it rlly hard to find a good team for ICPC and stuff? Are there ppl who do iicpc codefest/quantfest too, if yes is it doable to manage all that with a good CG in first and second yrs considering most cp ppl start then only...

5. Is PS actually useful? afaik PS1 is utter woke nonsense but most ppl get ppos through ps2.. is this true? do the nicer offers usually come through ps2?

6. How many people get Summer internships thru college? is it the ultra pro max ppl only (like in a branch at iitkgp only 8/9 ppl of the whole batch get them or smth)

7. Is an MBA abroad after BE at BITS unheard of? obv after like 2-3 yrs of work (itna paisa kidhar se lau)..

8. is that 36 lpa median 1st yr tc figure for bits p cs inflated or are other clg ppl coping on that r/ btechtards placement vala post?

I will be getting into EE at pilani most probably and wanted to know if bringing our old jee notes is helpful or not

​

I'm getting BITS GOA CSE and BITS PILANI CSE + Centrale Supelec CS and AI at my marks , my main goal is to settle abroad so I will do masters anyways later on even if I do go for BITS GOA CSE , but should I still opt for BITS P CSE + CSP instead ?

Is the Centrale Supelec brand name worth the expenses ?

Also do I have to pursue masters there as well or can you get good jobs and packages there on the CSP name alone ?

Expenses I think around 80-90 lakhs including living expenses so still maybe manageable and french would be taught in pilani

Pls help really confused

I am entering my second year and need to choose my humanities electives.

I struggle with subjects that require a lot of memorization or byhearting.

Which humanities electives should I choose? Which ones are comparatively easier to score in without memorizing too much?

I'd really appreciate your suggestions and any insights about the workload or exam pattern.

So I dont use social media much, earlier I used reddit only when I wanted to ask something, and mostly for BITS sub but during summer break I developed a peculiar habit of random scrolling various subreddits for no reason, askxyz, xyz exam subreddits that I'd never even give, politics n so on & even read various comments to the point and end up wasting hours, even wore some comments are so weird that it becomes overwhelming , and I still keep reading under the pretext that it isnt bad to know people's opinions.

Anyone who faced similar stuff ? I find this highly different than reels addiction

Laptop req for cs

Gonna be joining bits cs, for coursework do I require my laptop to have a dedicated gpu? Or do intevrated graohics work
