BITS, Pilani - Hyderabad Campus

The much awaited BITS -Pilani Hyderabad Campus started it's journey in the academic year 2008-09 . This campus will be another milestone in the glorious history of BITS-Pilani's Campuses . But still people have doubt about it's present condition in the field of Engineering colleges . It's not a inch back from other BITS -Pilani 's Campuses in field of Facilities , Professors etc. But Obviously experience is the thing which does matter in this field . It's like a small child waving it's hand and showing presence to everybody . In future it will surely gloom as a beautiful flower and will spread it's fragrance in the field of Enginnering . So, now let's don't go deep to the philosophical discussion of college and i should put down the real condition of the college .

Geographical background
The institute has acquired a land of 200 acres in Jawahar Nagar, Shameerpet Mandal from the Government of Andhra Pradesh through HUDA. This Campus in planned with an outlay of about Rs. 270 crores . Now I will say that this is a huge money but compared to research facilities needed to run a pioneer engineering college . But as a startup part it can be considered as a very good amount .

Education Process
The Institute operates its education programmes at three tiers of education, namely, the Integrated First Degree programmes, Higher Degree programmes and the Doctoral programmes.

Integrated First Degree Programmes
The Integrated First Degree Programmes are offered at the first tier with nomenclatures like B.E. (Hons.), M.Sc. (Hons.), and M.Sc. (Tech.). The se are all level wise equivalent degrees.

These are called integrated degrees for two reasons
1. There are several common courses amongst these degrees
2. No intermediate degrees, like B.Sc., B.Sc.(Hons.), B.A., B.A.(Hons.), etc. are awarded. These degrees are based on a modular structure and their academic requirements are spelt out in respect of the number of courses and units rather than the number of years.

All these programmes are structured in such a way that normally a student will be able to finish a programme in eight semesters. Of course, the flexibility of the Institute allows a student to do his programme at a faster pace and finish it earlier than 8 semesters or at a slower pace to finish it alter than 8 semesters.

All programmes offered at BITS, Pilani-Hyderabad are split into three groups as follows:

Group A (Engineering)
Chemical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Electrical and Communications Engineering
Computer Science
Civil Engineering
B. Pharmacy

Group B (Sciences)
Biological Sciences
Chemistry
Economics
Mathematics
Physics

Group C (M.Sc. Tech)
Information Systems

The Entrance Exam for BITS - Pilani Hyderabad Campus is also BITSAT . People are selected for these colleges according to preferences and their respective BITSAT score . In case of any doubt about the entrance exam or selection please mail me @ shanky19892006@gmail.com
