BITS Pilani Dual Degrees ( M.Sc. + B.E. ) Part 1 - The Basics

A short introduction to Dual Degrees in BITS. More coming soon.

[@22YearsInAzkaban]

Why doesnt anyone make a video on the course structure of each msc branch?

[@ritikthakur5844]

One common doubt: People somehow manage to complete a single degree in 4 years (Since everybody wants to live a cool college life), on the hand, for those who pick dual degrees, They've got to cover 2 degrees in 5 years! So workload would be massive, more exams more assignments etc. or is it a case where I'll find most of the courses common between BE & MSc?

[@everythingbitsatfromabitsi341]

Yes, a dual will be more hectic than a single degree. But the structure of the dual degree is made such that the work load is manageable. The compulsory courses of one branch are counted towards the open electives of the other and first year courses are common anyway. If that didn't make sense to you right now, forget about it. It will when it needs to. I will be making a in depth dual degree experience video soon, that would explain things better.

You are very much welcome! I am glad this was helpful. It'd be awesome if you could share it with other people you know who might be interested in this info.

[@kumarashivanand1114]

Hey um i just had a doubt as to whether there is an option of completing an Msc Physics course in BITS without haing to study for 5 years? That is to say without the BE degree and instead just opt for a single degree of physics? OR is it compulsory to take Msc Physics as a part of a dual degree program?

[@everythingbitsatfromabitsi341]

I'm sorry I wouldn't be able to get to it on time. I won't be able to upload much this week. You should rather ask your question on the "BITSAT Queries" group on Facebook, if it hasn't already been asked. You'll get immediate answers there which is crucial given the nature of your question.

Bhaiya can u plz give an idea about what fraction of total dualities(in any campus) get CS, Electrical, Electronics as their BE?

[@everythingbitsatfromabitsi341]

20-30% get CS Next 20-30% get EEE/EnI/ECE

[@ramyavema6099]

Bro I am studying bsc hons economics. Is there any entrance for msc economics in bits pilani. Pls give reply

[@everythingbitsatfromabitsi341]

No, the MSc in BITS is integrated MSc, where you enroll directly after your +2. If you have done one year of BSc and you wrote BITSAT this year, then you can join if you have the required score. But you'll have to start afresh.

[@rajeshsolanki9111]

Can we surely get B.E degree after 1st year in MSc?

[@everythingbitsatfromabitsi341]

Yes. Unless in very very exceptional circumstances (so rare that I don't know anyone who has had that happen to them), you are assured a BE.

[@taesmcflurry2847]

Can someone do M.Sc after taking CSE in dual degree

[@everythingbitsatfromabitsi341]

Do you mean he or she gets admitted as a single degree student and then later takes up an MSc?

@@everythingbitsatfromabitsi341 yeah

[@taesmcflurry2847]

@@everythingbitsatfromabitsi341 I also wanted to ask if someone scored 400 plus in BITSAT and chose dual degree...Should that person still score good cgpa to get cse

[@everythingbitsatfromabitsi341]

Yes, there is an option of taking up MSc after first year, if you take admission with CS. If you have a 400 score and you want MSc + CS, you should take CS first and then add MSc later, because that is much easier than taking MSc and trying for CS. Yes even if you have a perfect score, and you take an MSc, you'll have to fight the same fight for CS as any other dual degree student.

[@alkamittal9504]

Bhaiya in dual degree programme suppose i got less cgpa which is around 5 will i able to pursue btech in bits pilani or not ? And or able to do msc only

[@rohitr2301]

If I choose lower MSc branches like Economic or Biology will I be shown partiality when I choose BE ?

[@everythingbitsatfromabitsi341]

How do you term these as lower branches? There are no higher and no lower branches for the institute. And BTW, Eco is the branch with the highest cutoff (that means most preferred by students).

Can BE mechanical or BE Civil students also get DUAL DEGREE for BE Computer Science after the end of first year

[@dhruvrawat6012]

Two BE degrees are really rare but possible. Not guaranteed that you'll get one (as in case of MSc. degrees). It largely depends on AUGSD. People generally opt for converting their BE Civil degree to BE CS if they get a chance (vertical transfer)

So i have a series of questions I scored 262 today in my bitsat According to last two years cutoff i am close to maths msc hyderabad and chemistry msc pilani. I also read that biology is easier than the two Firstly how difficult is to get a cse or electronics after 1st year Secondly how are the placements of biology and chemistry My major aim is to get a good package btech job for that i need to get cse or electronics after 1st year. What do you think should i take bio or chem or go to vit cse or drop Can i join bio aur chem in the hope that i will get a 10lac+ package what is the probablity and how difficult is it to study 5 yrs I know it will be difficult for you to answer all my questions but i am really very confused

[@everythingbitsatfromabitsi341]

1) Video coming soon 2) Placements depend on your BE and not on your MSc in general. 3) Not entirely true that you can get good job only after CS or Electronics. 4) In my opinion, with dual as an option, drop should not be considered, as dual gives you another shot at your desired branch, with a safety net of already having BITS. 5) Again, placements, depend on BE. And yes, people with bio and chem do get great packages because of their respective BEs. I know Chem people who got upwards of 20L package because of their BEs.
