BITS Pilani - Birla Institute of Technology and Science Answered Questions

Hi Nishtha,
Both the colleges are equally good for pharmacy. At both the campuses, you will get ample research opportunities, well-equipped labs and pretty good international collaborations that you can pursue. Now the deciding factors can be location, food preferences and other amenities. If you are having your family nearby to Hyderabad, I would suggest you go for Hyderabad Campus.
Best of luck.

Hi Ram,
There are different criteria for getting scholarships for a BE student. The major aspects for new admission are as follows:
Board Toppers:
Students who have secured top three positions (first, second and third position) in 12th standard in their respective boards (General Secondary Education Certificate Exam of Ministry of Education, UAE or CBSE-India or any other State, National or International Board) are given a merit scholarship of 100%, 75% and 50% of the first semester tuition fee respectively for the first semester.
Merit in the qualifying examination:
a. Students who have obtained 90% or above in the aggregate of the aualifying examination are given a merit scholarship of 20% of the first semester tuition fee. BE students who have obtained 80% or above but less than 90% in the aggregate of the qualifying examination are given merit scholarships of 15% of the first-semester tuition fee.

All the best.

Hi Suhani,
The best suited option is the college that you have taken admission. As per your IPCUT rank, you may not get CSE/ECE in the top engineering colleges of IP University (Delhi) like USIT, MAIT, MSIT, etc. Also, at your BITSAT score, you won't get any BE or integrated first degree M.Sc course. So, the best option in that case, could be to get a drop once, and again prepare to score better in BITSAT or other engineering entrances. However, Miranda House is a good college and has got quite accomplished reputation. So, I guess you have taken a right decision and wish you all the best for your future endeavors.
Best wishes.

BITS-Dubai is also a good college. Teachers are not the same as Pilani campus, but they might go for guest lectures and exchange programs. It would be better for you to find out alumni from that campus and talk to him.

Hi Rajpreet,
For getting admission into BITS-Pilani M.Sc (BITS doesn't offer Biotechnology but you can try for Chemistry or Biological Sciences) Integrated first degree course, you need to appear for BITSAT examination, however, for M.Sc in Biotechnology at VIT, shortlisting is done as per qualifying exam marks and then you need to appear for an interview.
Best wishes.
