BITS Pilani - Birla Institute of Technology and Science Answered Questions

It's more about opportunities rather than advantages that you will get here at BITS Pilani.
Some of them include:
1. The people you will be around, they all will be good at one thing or the other. You will be able to learn a lot of things and by lot I mean a whole lots things.
2. Many companies will be there for the placement including some of the top notch like Microsoft, NVidia. But you got to have that what they are searching for, if you want to work with such giants.
3. The development of you is one major aspect. You will be seeing a tremendous difference in yourself in those 4 years of yours. It's just not building a good CV/resume but it's the skills, connections, the experience, the whole thing is what I would consider the greatest advantage is of taking Bits P over other colleges.

Hi,
I don't think there is a management quota at BITS Pilani. They admit only those who score above 300 in their entrance exam called BITSAT.
There is another chance that if you are a board topper you can get direct admission irrespective of your BITSAT score.
You can try for BITS Pilani, Dubai campus. There you can get admission with only the board exams. They don't conduct any entrance exams. But your BITSAT score is considered for scholarship.
If you have scored 60% in your boards, you are eligible for admission. But the fee structure is around 15 lakhs per annum.
The website for Dubai campus is www.bits-pilani.ac.in/dubai
You can apply through that website and the last date is June 12.

Hello Gitanjali,

Hi Pranav,
BITS has very flexible academics with which comes a lot of advantages, one of which is dual degree. If you opt for this you get an admission in M.Sc degree and after the completion of one year, based on your CGPA the B.E degree is allotted. If you performed well you might get computer sciences as your dual degree. Similarly, other degrees( EEE, ENI, Chemical, Civil, Mechanical) are also allotted on this procedure. It's a five-year program at the end of which you are given two degrees one for the M.Sc and the other for the B.E degree.
The cutoff's for M.Sc economics in 2016 was 335.
Hope you find it useful.
All the best!

Hello Keerthi!
There are total 5 rounds of counseling. But mostly which stream you will get, it becomes clear after 2nd round. Because always each student fills his choice in 1st round and after the declaration of first round they ask for deposit of admission fee for 1st sem, where most of the students back off (many of them have got admission in good IITs). So, in 2nd round, only those who submit the admission fee, get the courses (specially the interested ones). After the declaration of 2nd round's result you are further asked to submit the mess bills in advance and those who submit, gets their name in 3rd round.

All the best!
