Deemed to be University, established under Section 3 of UGC Act 1956. Accredited with an A Grade by NAAC, the Institute has been consistently ranked amongst the top 10 engineering institutes in the country and as the best private engineering institute by leading magazines and newspapers. Needless to say, this has not happened accidentally. Right from its inception BITS Pilani has had a world class curriculum for its UG and PG programmes, with emphasis on developing analytical skills as also on hands-on laboratory-based experimentation and project-oriented work. BITS Pilani, with the help of MIT, was the first in India to introduce a semester based credit-based system with continuous evaluation. Admissions to UG and PG programmes at BITS Pilani are based solely on merit as determined by nationwide on-line tests conducted by BITS Pilani. Once students undergo rigorous training, both inside the
classrooms and laboratories as well as outside, they are adequately equipped to design, develop and market products and services for the discerning consumers in India or abroad as also take on leaderships roles in later years in their careers. I would like to invite design, manufacturing and service organizations in India or abroad to visit our campuses at Pilani, Goa, Hyderabad and Dubai and explore employment /placement opportunities with our students graduating in the year 2012-13.

Students are introduced to a wide range of common courses that set the foundation for the more branch-intensive courses to come. The end of the year sees students take a long summer break of two and a half months that they may utilise by taking up independent internships or NGO work.
This year brings with it a diversification in terms of courses. Students are exposed to extensive courses in their branch of study. Laboratory courses are introduced to ensure that students can find a practical link between what is taught in the classroom and its real-world applications. At the end of the year, students have the option of joining the 2 months Practice School Programme which provides them their first real-life exposure to corporate or industrial environment.
The third year is academically the most concentrated & rigorous. Students are taught their Compulsory Disciplinary Courses which go in depth and explore the finer points of the branch of their choice. Laboratory courses are more intensive than ever with numerous evaluative components to complement lecture classes. Projects and design assignments test the application skills of each student.
Semester 02
The first semester of the fourth year sees half the students working off campus for the second phase of Practice School, while the other half of students remain on campus and take a number of elective courses. With the flexibility of taking courses from across branches, these courses allow students to explore their interests. During the second semester this half goes out to complete their PS 2 while the first half comes back to campus to complete their degree.
