Dear,

In general BITS-HD has more emphasis on theoretical questions as opposed to the numerical type questions in GATE. The number of questions to be attempted in 120 mins is around 100 which is similar to the pattern of IES. So, my advice to you would be to go through the previous year IES questions thoroughly along with GATE papers, and focus more on theoretical aspects of the important topic of mechanical. Also, there are few extra topics in BITS-HD syllabus as opposed to that of GATE, do make sure to prepare them as well. Prepare well for first paper as well( Maths and English you can score fully with sufficient prep), because more often than not, people scoring well in first paper get an extra edge over others. For getting Pilani Campus try getting close to 190 out of total marks, which should get you any branch of your choice. All the very best. Do visit the following site for the syllabus.

Hope this helps!

Let me just begin with a first statement or a vision which is being given by late Shri GD Birla, who is the founder of BITS Pilani that  "What do we propose to do here? We want to teach real science whether it is engineering, chemistry, humanities, physics or any other branch. We want to develop a scientific approach in Pilani, which means there would be no dogma. There will be a search for truth. What we propose to do here is to cultivate a scientific mind." So, keeping this preamble in mind, I would like to say that BITS Pilani has a very unique culture in terms of the academic curriculum which has been set up. Students who come here, get an opportunity and they are not compounded or restricted by a particular specific specialisation.

To give you an idea about our integrated first degree programs, we offer a bachelor's program which is called B.E in Chemical Engineering, Computer Science Engineering, Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, Electrical and Electronics, Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering and also we have B.Pharmacy. Further we have a five years program in M.Sc in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics, Physics, and General Studies. So this is something which we called integrated first degree and the students will have an opportunity to do inter disciplinary, a lot of flexibility in terms of  combining the two programs together and convert them to multidisciplinarity. Apart from these, there are other possibilities such as minor in state of Arts niche areas which are also being provided to the students like in Pilani  we offer, film and media, finance, physics, data science, philosophy, economics and politics, english studies, entrepreneurship, material science and engineering. So, to begin with at the first degree level and combining with the other minors that we give. Higher degree is what we call the master's program where the students can go into biotechnology, chemical engineering,civil engineering has three specialisations: structural engineering, infrastructure engineering and management and transportation engineering, communication engineering, computer science engineering, design engineering, embedded systems, manufacturing system engineering, mechanical, micro electronics and software systems. Apart from that in pharmacy, we have a M.Pharm program. The kind of program which is given is like an integrated first degree program or the high degree program. Students have an  opportunity to choose what exactly they want to do and there is a lot of flexibility in terms of the way in which course content has been articulated at BITS Pilani.  I think among the education institutions in India, BITS Pilani is on front in terms of some of the very innovative programs such as practice schools i.e. PS 1 and PS 2 and students have an opportunity to spend two months in PS 1 and almost 6 months in PS 2 in industry which gives them an all round preparation to be more industry relevant apart from being a part of engineering.

We do, right now, we have an international students admission which is a separate stream. The details are mentioned over the official website.

We have three modes of admission to BITS Pilani-

1) Through BITSAT

2) By being a topper of the board

3) International students who come with a SAT score

So, SAT is already there but it's fee structure is different.

It is no more going to be only Science and Technology. In some form or the other, we have few more programs. In the coming future, I'm sure BITS Pilani will expand in terms of the offerings that it makes and in the areas which today we are not dealing with. Just one example,  as we started the IoE journey, we started a program on liberal studies. it's not science and technology alone. We started with the M.Phil program. So, as a university we want to be a full fledged university.

BITS pilani will expand but possibly it's too early to say which all programs we will have.

I have no idea because firstly, we don't know when is the JEE exam and we don't want to tie ourselves with the JEE exam or the other Universities exam date. But one important thing is, we design the BITSAT to give flexibility to the students. The exam is conducted not in a single day but for a few days, so if there is the JEE exam in between, we will keep this in mind. But at this point, we cannot say it will be before or after. Whenever the announcement of any major exam is made, we will see how we accommodate that but more than that it is too early to say.

You must score around 370 or more to get CSE in BITS ‘PILANI’ . Try to score maximum marks in PCM group,because you can never be 100%  sure for the answers of logical reasoning. If you feel confident about your english then you can take advantage of 15 questions of it. It will give you 45 marks(a great advantage if). Be cautious while attempting because you may feel you are giving right answers but it may be in vain.
