Dubai

Dubai is a rapidly developing global educational spot with competitive courses, advanced facilities, and affordable tuition fees. It has a mid-range cost of living, high safety and increasing post-study work opportunities.

Due to its connections with varied industries, global financial hub, and a quick growing economy, Dubai is becoming a famous education destination for Indian students. This also because Dubai has a culturally familiar environment closer to India.

This depends on the university you are applying for. If the university has mandated giving IELTS score, then you need to appear for the examination, and give your test score. The minimum IELTS score varies from 5.5 to 7. IELTS is commonly accepted English language proficiency test accepted globally.

But universities give you several alternatives to IELTS to study in Dubai. Hence, look for the university that fits you best, and does not require an IELTS score to process your application. Some universities also have their own interview, or assessment to judge your English proficiency.

International students will have to pay a non-refundable application fee of AED 220 (INR 5.1K) for both undergraduate as well as graduate programs. 

BITS Pilani Dubai offers various programs under five majors. These are as follows:

• Business and Management Studies
• IT and Software
• Architecture and Planning
• Engineering

• Dubai International Academic City (DIAC)
• Dubai Knowledge Park
• Al Barsha
• Deira
