BITS Pilani All Questions

In this year the ece gate paper was moderate to tough level. And due to this corona situation cut off score may decrease slightly which is also a good news for the students who will be applying in this year through gate. The predicted cut off for this year for microelectronics which is the best preferred specialisation for mtech in ece, is around 650. There can some difference here or there. And it varies year to year. The placements are also very good. 10-15 lpa is the avg package offered.

hi,

see your gate score is ok but you may not get chances in top ranked colleges for m.tech course in vlsi with this score. so I suggest you to also apply for other m.tech entrance exams like bits hd, vitmee, state government colleges exam also.

Dear aspirant,

For admission to M.pharma course in Bits Pilani admission are taken on the basis of either GPAT exam or through BITS HD test only.

For admission two separate merit list are prepared one of BITS -HD test and one for GPAT.

50% of the seats will be filled by GPAT score and other 50%  of the seats will be filled by GPAT score.

So GPAT score is also good enough if you have sufficient scorrto get admission. You can also take admission through BITS HD test.  There is no extra test for admission in BITS.

Hope it helps.

hi,

see cutoff score changes every year and it depends on the difficulty level of any particular paper, your choice of streams, seat matrix, students category etc,. as per previous years cutoff you need to score 700-770 to get admission in bits, since there is also hd exams for non gate scorer, high cutoff is expected.

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.

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.

Hello Mona,

BE stands for Bachelor's of Engineering while BTech stands for Bachelor's in Technology. Both the degrees are equivalent. In India most Institutes provides BTech degrees while abroad most universities provide BE degrees.

The minor difference is said to be that BTech is more of a practical approach while BE is more of a theoretical approach.
