Birsa Institute of Technology, sindri Expert's Review and Verdict

Campus at a Glance

Birsa Institute of Technology Sindri, the erstwhile Bihar Institute of Technology Sindri, is one of the senior-most engineering and technological institutes in India. It started functioning as the College of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in 1949 at Patna. It shifted its campus to Sindri in 1950. From being a subsidiary of Ranchi College to an affiliated engineering college of Vinoba Bhave University, Hazaribagh, BIT Sindri is at present under the affiliation of the Jharkhand University of Technology, Ranchi (JUT). BIT Sindri is wholly owned and administered by the Department of Science and Technology, Govt of Jharkhand, Ranchi. It is a fully residential college and provides accommodation for students, teaching and non-teaching staff.

Our Take:

If we compare the last three years' NIRF Ranking for the engineering category, BIT Sindri took a steep dive. The institute slipped to the 251-300 rank band in 2022 from 201-250 in 2022 and finally, in 2023, it failed to secure any ranking. Despite being one of the oldest engineering colleges in India, it is alarming that BIT Sindri failed to secure NIRF Ranking 2023.

BIT Sindri Hostel


Our Take:

The R&D building, a lecture & seminar complex and a student activity center are currently under construction at the campus. Even though BIT Sindri boasts about adding new infrastructure, there are a few areas where improvement is needed. Students on an online platform (Google Reviews) shared that the AC in the hall is non-functional and there is no proper ventilation. They further added that many of the chairs in the auditorium are broken. The hostel washrooms are not regularly cleaned. They have expressed the need to improve the mess food. Also, if we look at the hostel mess fees mentioned in the table above, the fee of INR 3,990 per month is a bit high given the quality of food offered. Also, security in hostels is a bit of a concern. According to a leading newspaper report, senior students have beaten up junior students and created a scene of chaos for over an hour. Here is a news snippet of the same.

Our Take:

If we analyse the gender ratio index, the percentage of female students as compared to males is less. With only 18% of female students in the B.Tech programme and 16.01% females in the M.Tech programme, BIT Sindri must take steps to increase the enrollment of more female students in these courses.

Our Take:

Analysing the data above, the demographic ratio of BIT Sindri students is not balanced. With only 5.75% of students in the B.Tech programme from outside Jharkhand, there is a lot of scope of improvement in this area. Students should be given the needed exposure to meet students from various cultural backgrounds which will contribute more to their holistic development.

BIT Sindri Faculty and Administration/Management

BIT Sindri currently employs 187 faculty. There are 30 female professors and 157 male professors. Most of them are M.Tech and PhD degree holders. Tabulated below is the list of professors, associate professors and assistant professors at BIT Sindri:

Regular Professors 

Contractual Professors

Visiting Professors

117

65

5

Our Take:

The overall student-to-faculty ratio stands at 18:1, which is favorable. However, as the batch size varies from course to course, there is a difference in student-to-faculty ratio per batch. Also, after analysing the students' feedback across multiple platforms, BIT Sindri should employ more professors. However, they are satisfied with the quality of teaching provided by BIT Sindri professors.

Regarding the administration and management functioning of the institution, students have not highlighted any grave concerns that they have faced during their course of study.

BIT Sindri Location

Located at Dhanbad Road, Singri in Jharkhand, BIT Sindri is in a prime location easily accessible by local transport. The campus is at a distance of 28 km from the nearest railway station, Dhanbad Junction Railway Station. The closest airport is Munda Airport in Ranchi which is 160 km away from the campus.

Our Take:

BIT Sindri is located in an environment perfect for the students. However, with airways being the convenient option for out-station students, the distance is far with over 3 hour's journey to the campus from the airport. This can be a possible reason leading to comparatively fewer students enrolled from outside Jharkhand in BIT Sindri.

BIT Sindri Expectation vs Reality- CollegeDekho Verdict

BIT Sindri is a government-aided public institute established with a motive to cater to the country’s need for technological manpower for research and development-related programmes. As of 2023, it has invested INR 32 Lakhs in research. BIT Sindri has a strong alumni network of over 50,000. The Alma Connect initiative helps the students connect with distinguished alumni like Kamal Nath (CEO, Sify Technologies), Himanshu Rajan (CGM, Indian Oil Corporation Limited), Jai Narayan (Chairman, Urban Cooperative Bank) and many more. In terms of placement, the institute has delivered tremendous results. The highest salary offered in 2022 was INR 45.5 LPA. Overall, we can conclude that BIT Sindri is a good institute for the B.Tech programme as compared to the M.Tech programme. In areas like hostel maintenance, mess food and faculty numbers improvement is needed.

College review of bit sindri, dhanbad,
By Aman Murmu | B.Tech in Mining Engineering | 2024
February 19, 2024 09:23:21

Overall: The infrastructure could become even better. They have started to build new buildings and multicomplex halls. It offers 10 branches here depending on the students choices or criterion.(The counselling is done via JCECE). The college is built at a very isolated place. The area around it is quite rural. The Dhanbad city is at a distance of 30 km from here. So it is the only nearer place where you could go to chill out with your friends or else there's nothing at all here. The college has clubs and societies, which you could join to increase your soft skills.

Placement: The college offers an average placement of 7 lpa. With Vedanta being the one that recruits students at a number of 10-15 at a very good package of 16 lacs

Infrastructure: The college is spread along a very huge area of 400 acres. It has still a very long way to go to improve even more. But they've started the work and new halls are being made. The only problem is the electrical cuts.

Faculty: The teachers are well trained and experienced who have also worked in the industrial world, who are well qualified in their field and some of them have also trained in other practices as well.

Hostel: The hostels conditions aren't decent enough. The food quality in the mess varies from hostel to hostel. Each year's hostels are distributed among different zones.

Overall: In my opinion this college is actually a wow as it stands at the top of engineering colleges in the east zone as well as at 9th, all over india. As a student you have many benefits as you get scholarship for studying and also when you purchase an electronic gadget or travel far away, you get everything at discounted rate.

Placement: A student will sure get a good placement from BIT Sindri as the avarage package per year is almost 6-10LPA. BIT Students had also got placements to big firms like Google, Wipro, Microsoft, etc.

Infrastructure: In terms of infrastructure BIT Sindri is one of the most good colleges in east zone having a great infrastructure as it consists of seperate departments for every course and seperate laboratories also it has a large ground area for hangout

Faculty: We have a very good faculty, as we have well qualified and well experienced professor for each and every subject and different head professors for a particular course they teach us the things practically.

Hostel: Hostel facility is top notch in terms of room allotments as one student is free to have his/her own room also good bedding and dressing although the food service or mess services are not up the marks.

While some students appreciate the convenience and affordability of on-campus living, others express concerns about cleanliness and maintenance issues.
