Birla Institute of Technology and Science at Pilani (BITS, Pilani) is the

top private technological Institution in India declared as a deemed tobe university since 1964 . The great visionary late Mr. G.D. Birla was

its Founder Chairman. BITS Pilani is located at Pilani in the state of

Rajasthan and offers degree at all levels in Engineering, Sciences,

Management and Pharmacy.

Late Dr. K.K. Birla, who took over as the Chairman in 1983, realized

the need for providing top class higher education facility to greaternumber of promising students in science and technology, and under

his patronage, BITS started expanding by establishing three new

campuses - BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus in the year 2000, BITS Pilani,K.K. Birla Goa Campus in the year 2004 and BITS Pilani, HyderabadCampus in the year 2008. In 2000, BITS Pilani became the first Indian

Higher Education Institution to set up a campus abroad, at Dubai, with

the permission of University Grants Commission (UGC) and Ministryof HRD, Government of India.

BITS Pilani attracts top ranking students from all over India and the

admission process is highly competitive. It provides world class educationand helps in building a well rounded personality with ample

opportunities for students to develop into responsible leaders and

dynamic professionals in their careers. BITS has produced manydistinguished Alumni who are occupying key positions all over the

world.

BITS Pilani is accredited by National Accreditation and AssessmentCouncil (NAAC), an autonomous body setup by UGC, Government of

India to accredit Universities. BITS Pilani was first accredited by

NAAC in 2000 and received the highest ranking of five star, in recog-nition of its international standards of Quality Academic Programme.

In 2009, BITS Pilani (along with its campuses at Dubai and Goa) has

been re-accredited by NAAC with the highest grade A and a CGPA of3.71 on a 4 point scale. BITS Pilani has won the Asias best private

Education Institute Award in the category of Engineering and Technol-

ogy at the WCRC Leaders Asian Education Excellence Summit this

year. It is ranked No.1 among the private engineering institutions inIndia by the India TodayNielsen Survey (India Today, 3 June 2013).

It has also emerged among the Top 10 Engineering Institutes in the

rankings published by The Week-India, Outlook and CompetitionSuccess Review.

Under the leadership of Dr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, who was elected

as Chancellor in 2008 and Dr. B.N. Jain, Vice Chancellor, the institutehas embarked on a journey to become one of the leading universities

in the world by the year 2020 through a new strategic plan entitled

Vision 2020.

What is it that can empower our nation? The most obviousanswer is education. Education that enhanceslivelihoods but also education that is value-based.Education that gives roots and gives wings as well.

Dr. Kumar Mangalam Birla

Chancellor, BITS, Pilani

Our model of education is to produce engineers who willfind innovative solutions to problems for which solutionsavailable today are less than acceptable or to those

problems that are yet to be identified.

BITS Pilani has been following the semester system with continuous

evaluation since its inception. The educational programmes are

modular and flexible. The same philosophy is replicated at Dubai

Campus.

The degree programmes are based on the principle that a set of

courses make up the structure where each course is self contained,

but, nevertheless, acts as a bridge between what preceeds and what

comes after. Attempt is to awaken curiosity in the minds of the

students and train them to think scientifically and to enable them to

face the unfamiliar. Through the Practice School programme, we have

established purposeful linkages with the industry and the students

with the Practice School option get a flavour of professional world.

The performance of the students in each course is continuously evaluated

by the faculty throughout the semesters in terms of tests, quizzes,

assignments, projects, laboratory work, etc. followed by a comprehensive

examination at the end of the semester. The students thereby get

large number of opportunities to reveal their learning.

The continuous evaluation provides a regular feedback to the

students to know where they stand, thus, enabling them to improve

and to cultivate habits of regular study and face challenges. The

integrated First Degree programmes are offered at the first tier with

the nomenclature B.E.(Hons.) from the Dubai Campus. These

degrees are based on the modular structure with the academic

requirements spelt out in terms of number of courses and units rather

than number of years. The courses are structured in such a way that

the student will be able to finish the programme in eight semesters.

The flexibility of the Institute allows the student to do the programme

at a faster pace and finish it earlier than eight semesters or at a slower

pace to finish it in more than eight semesters.

The B.E. (Hons.) programmes in engineering are mathematics and

hard science based, and incorporate up-to-date techniques of analy-

sis and synthesis in the respective discipline.

The structure and the requirements of the programmes are as per the

The Higher Degree Programmes are designed and structured to meet

the learning aspirations of Engineers, entrepreneurs and working

professionals, meeting their continuing education pursuits. Theclasses for these programmes are held normally during evenings and

week end holidays. Admissions are given normally to candidates whoare already employed. It is expected that the applicants

employers/organizations support his/her continuing academicpursuits.

The curriculum for the M.E. Design Engineering programme has been

specially designed to ensure transformation of a MechanicalEngineering graduate into a full-fledged Design Engineer. Thestudents will gain networked knowledge in the core and intersection

areas of design, development, simulation and manufacturing. In

addition, the student will carry out design project as well as dissertationwhich emphasize on developing a well rounded education through an

exposure to academic and professional traits. The program encourages

the students to develop a diverse back ground in order to expand

individual talents and respond to the emerging opportunities in thefield using research and teaching practices. Students are also

exposed to the design engineering software tools such as CATIA,ANSYS and AUTOMATION STUDIO.

BITS Pilani is a pioneer in the field of university-industry linkage and

its bold and radical innovation in this regard has no parallel.

The Practice School (PS) programme is a controlled simulation of real

life where the student relates and applies his classroom knowledgeand skills to the real issues faced by the industry. PS is a part of the

total programme and takes the classroom to a professional location for

a period of 7 months, where the students under the supervision of

faculty get involved in a real life situation. PS institutionalizes efforts to

build the long needed bridge between the professional world and the

educational world.

PS method of education brings the reality of the world of work into the

educational process. The students undergo internship and work as the

employees of the organization, participate in day-to-day activities of

the workplace and work on specific projects assigned, in a problem

solving mode, under the professional experts of the host organization.

As with all other courses, a process of continuous evaluation is also

followed for PS. Students are evaluated for interdisciplinary approach,

decision making, written and oral presentation, leadership, team work

etc. apart from the technical work, by the faculty and experts from the

host organization. A Practice School Transcript is issued in addition

to Academic Transcript to these students who opt for PS stream.

Student who do not opt for PS stream, do a full semester thesis in one

of the semesters of the final year.

The first degree PS programme has two components:

PS-I of eight weeks duration - During the summer following

the second year, and is the first exposure to the world of

work.

PS-II of 5 months duration During one of the semesters

of the final year.

All the First Degree Programmes provide for a PS option. A student

who exercises this option is awarded a degree that carries the tag

With Practice School on successful completion of the programme.

Most of the PS-II students get an out of pocket allowance during the

5 months of PS.

More than 400 companies are offering Practice School (internship)

across the U.A.E. and in U.S.A. & India currently. Some of them are: ABB Al Futtaim Technologies BOSCH Citibank DUBAL DNV
