Though rankings should never be trusted while making final decisions for admissions, they do give a general perspective of the overall standing of a university.
BITS has consistently ranked among the top engineering institutions not only in India but also in Asia . Notably, other than the Dataquest rankings, BITS Pilani has never been ranked lower than any university other than the IITs. Also, in last 11 years, BITS has ranked above IIT Roorkee 9 times and above IIT Guwahati 10 times. Shown below is a compiled list of rankings BITS-Pilani has participated in, since 1997.
Government of India's National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) rated BITS as a five star Institution (highest rating) for the period ending February 7, 2007. BITS has scored 82.55 out of 100, higher than comparable public universities (with a five star rating and a focus on science and technology) such as Anna University (75.7), Jadavpur University (77.35) and IIT Roorkee (77.15).

I agree about the non-uniform basis on which most of these surveys rank universities. Infact many colleges are now opting out of some rankings as they doubt the authenticity of the stats used.
But, it is such rankings that are taken very seriously by the common public (I hope Companies don't care about them!)
PS: One thing that's very confusing for many BITS Aspirants is whether BITS Pilani Goa Campus is included in the BITS Pilani rankings. :(
Should be mentioned somewhere!
True. The problem is that it is difficult to shy away from such surveys as well, since they reach such a huge amount of population that they have a serious effect in adding/reducing a college's general perception among the public.
Yes, even I agree that the admins in Pilani campus should make it public that the rankings from 2007 onwards also include Goa Campus.
