Hi,

The MSc program offered by BITS is basically a five year course, in which, at the end of your course, you get an Engineering degree (B.E.) along with an MSc degree.

The MSc degree which you get is the one you choose during your admission.

The engineering degree which you ‘shall' get depends on the stream which you choose after your first year.

You get to choose your engineering stream at the end of your first year if you are an MSc student, which also depends on your first year CGPA.

Here's how the academic strategy for MSc works:

All the students of BITS, single degree and dual degree(MSc), have the same syllabus for the first year. Then, according to the first year CGPA, the MSc students are offered the engineering courses. All branches of engineering offered at the campus are open for the MSc students.

The second year of MSc students is spent entirely in studying their MSc course. From the third year onwards, they start studying the engineering course (i.e. one year behind their single degree batch mates). The next 3 years are the same as any single engineering degree student.

The advantage of MSc courses is that if you fall back in BITSAT and do not get your required stream, you may avail an MSc course, work sufficiently in the first year and get the branch you needed in your second year.

Another major advantage is for students who are explicitly interested in pure science and research, as BITS has always been promoting it. The disadvantage, of course, being the additional year.
