This post is meant for all the aspirants who'd like to know more
about the MSc. Courses at BITS
Pilani(Pilani , Goa , Hyderabad Campuses) and the Dual Degree
Scheme.
Q.1) What are these MSc. Courses?
A.1) MSc. Courses are Science-based courses , similar to that
offerred in other Institutions.
In BITS they are of 2 types :
1)MSc.(Hons) in P, C, M, Eco, Bio
2)MSc.(Tech) in Information Systems, Finance, Gen. Stu, Engg
Tech
Q.2) What is this Dual Degree Scheme?
A.2) All MSc. (Hons) (and not Tech) will get an assured BE Degree ,
alloted to them at the end of the 1st year, based on their
CGPA for 1st year.
Q.3) Is it tough to get a good dual?
A.3) Not at all.For a CS or EEE, you need
an above average CGPA, while
Mech./Chem/Civil can be got at lower CGPAs too.But you will get
some BE Dual assured.
Q.4) So what Degrees do I pass out with?
A.4) You get a BE and an Integrated Msc and you spend 5 years.Integ
MSc. basically is BSc + MSc combined, and it can be done by a 12th
pass student. Time duration for it is 4 yrs (without a Dual).
Q.5) So, you basically waste another year?
A.5) Thats a bad way of saying it.
You get another degree from BITS, and you
get 2 Practice Schools(i.e. 1 year). So basically you spend that
extra year working. This is imp for PS2 Placements.
And that MSc. does help when applying abroad.
Q.6) Then why are the cutoffs low?
A.6) Because most people are uninformed and don't have a clue about
the Dual Degree Scheme. But then again, no other institute in India
offers this, so such flexibilities are rare in India.
I think aspirants and their advisors(parents , friends etc.) are to
be blamed for this.THERE IS NO
“SHAME†INVOLVED IN TAKING AN MSc. AND A B.E.
DUAL .THOSE
WHO THINK
THIS WAY
ARE FOOLS.
Q.7) Do you get separate Degrees?
A.7) Yes, they are absolutely separate.
Q.8) What other such schemes are there at BITS?
A.8) Based on your 1st Year CGPA,

Hello Sir,
I scored 270 marks in BITSAT 2010 &
in the waiting list.The cut-off is 280.So where I can get
admission? Is there any chance 2 get admission through DUAL DEGREE SCHEME ? Sir,If i get this scheme, What will the
words be in my cerificate & manrksheet(Which degree i will get)
B.Tech. M.Sc(Phy/Maths/etc) OR ONLY
M.Sc.(Phy/Maths/etc) after the completion of this 5 years
scheme?
hi ishan,
if you are interested in cse, then you should go for it; the long term advantages of studying something you love and then pursuing a career in that are unmatched;
as for an msc in maths - it's a great option; a lot of finance related jobs, options for further studies, etc open up exclusively for mathematics students; also, as you might very well be aware of - cse has a lot of overlap with certain areas in maths! they almost go hand in hand;
hope this helps!
