Why does BITS Pilani follow zero attendance?

PS
Prateek Sharma Posted On : July 3rd, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

The primary reason why BITS Pilani decided to follow the zero attendance rule was to imply that education cannot be forced and should be a result of individuals' own interests and passions. 

If someone is not willing to attend a particular class, he should be forced to do so because he will be attending it uninterested which defers the entire purpose of education. An uninterested student will affect the classroom ambiance and become a distraction for the faculty as well as interested individuals. 

Here are a few justified reasons why some students prefer skipping classes 

  • Students at BITS Pilani are responsible for organizing huge events like OASIS, BOSM, and APOGEE (Pilani Campus) that require a lot of time commitment making it difficult to attend classes. 
  • Additionally, some students are inclined towards research work rather than theoretical knowledge and thus prefer skipping classes. Forcing them to attend classes will hamper their development in the field of their interests. BITS Pilani believes in giving students the space to identify their interests and flourish within them. 
  • Students also prefer skipping classes because the speed of teaching is slow in the class and they prefer going through their friends' notes instead of spending 50 minutes. 

BITS Pilani has come up with this policy because it believes that forced education might hamper one’s growth.

Can I do MBA from IIM Ahmedabad after BSc?

RT
Raktim Tarafdar Posted On : August 18th, 2023

As long as you fulfill all the criteria required to get admission to IIM Ahmedabad, your academic background does not matter. That being said, here are the requirements to get shortlisted for IIM Ahmedabad admission.

  • 80% above in 10th and 12th (any specialized subject)
  • 70% above in graduation (any stream)
  • 98 CAT percentile (may be lower, depending on your graduation course)

Anyone who has fulfilled the above criteria is eligible to get admission to IIM Ahmedabad. What actually matters is your performance in GD/PI. However, it’s important to note that the above criteria are general and the chances of admission depend on the individual profiles and performances. Fulfilling these criteria increases your chances of admission to IIM Ahmedabad but does not guarantee it.

An extra point to remember for you is that you will be getting diversity points because of your BSC background. This will help you get admission even with a low CAT score compared to engineering or BCom students. AS An BSc student, you will have to make the interviewers believe that you ha always targeted an MBA and not an MSc.

What is the difference between the north and south campus colleges of DU?

PD
Preeti Deshmukh Posted On : October 12th, 2022
BA from University of Delhi

There is no discernible difference.

1-The faculty levels on both campuses are the same. Teachers on the south campus are more helpful and friendly, but there are a few good teachers on the north campus as well.

2-When it comes to PG or food, the South campus is far too cheap. In the south, one can find very good affordable accommodation. North is a little pricey because there are too many colleges, which increases the demand for goods and pgs, and thus prices.

3-The crowd in each college is nearly mixed and uniform. Although the north campus receives more applications from students from UP, Bihar, Haryana, and Rajasthan because it is overrated and hyped among people, all mostly SC, ST, and OBC, sports quota, and ECA quota students go there if they get it anyhow. 

4-Colleges do not provide degrees; DU does. So, regardless of which college you attend, you will receive the same degree.

5-Placements- this is an extremely important factor. The majority of placements are reserved for Bcom and Economics Honours students. Placements are available at LSR, SRCC, Hindu, Venky, Hansraj, KMC, and Ramjas, but only for Bcom or Economics students. Other department students may be offered the internship, but the pay is insufficient.

6- Restrooms and drinking water- The restrooms in each college are clean and well-maintained. Clean and sanitary. However, if you drink a lot of water, you should only go to North Campus if you can buy a bottle for each day because the water there is too salty. 


There is no distinguishable difference between the two campuses. So choose a college that is easy to get to, as the metro has raised its fares, and where PG, hostels, and flats are reasonably priced, as you will be spending three years there.

I am doing BTech biotech from IMS Engineering College Ghaziabad. What is the scope of my jobs in the future both on and off campus?

BR
Barkha Roy Posted On : June 23rd, 2021
Former Project Scientist at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (2017-2018)

Since B.Tech Biotech is the newly evolving sector in India, you need to struggle a little to get placed in decent jobs.

  • Most core companies do not hire B.Tech students as they get their work done by BSc.
  • Graduates at a very low pay scale, public sectors are good to look for a job.
  • If you want to go into the research and development field, then you need to go for JRF interviews, once you get selected you will do various projects under a well-qualified scientist.
  • Also, 2 years of JRF and SRF can get you a Ph.D. degree.
  • You can join various research centers like ICAR, CSIR, NIO, and many others.
  • You can even give GATE, or GRE and do masters first, then apply for a job.
  • This will make you more capable and many other options will be open for you after pursuing a master's degree.

Thus concluding we can say that though there are options for you to enter the research and development field, joining research centers, applying for a job, or searching for a job. But pursuing a master's degree would be a much better option as it will provide you ample opportunities to opt for.

I'm a student at IET Lucknow (IT Branch) & I'm appearing for JEE mains for my 3rd attempt. Shall I go for it?

HS
Harshit Sama Posted On : August 2nd, 2021
Studied at the Institute of Engineering and Technology, Lucknow

Yes definitely. If you are still familiar with your 11th and 12th subjects, you should attempt JEE Main. If you can prepare well and hope to get a good rank, you will go a long way.

There are many of my friends who attempted JEE Main and got a good rank and are now in top NITs. This will positively impact your mental and emotional health and grow your career graph.

If you cannot get a better college than IET then do not get disheartened. IET Lucknow is not a bad college. Students from this institute have shown their caliber in GATE, CAT, GRE, and many other competitive exams. Placements here have been low due to a lack of willingness among companies to visit the campus.

However, keep in mind that there is no harm in trying and if you make informed choices then you can achieve success.

I got admission (PGDM) opportunity from IIM Rohtak and IIM Udaipur! Should one go or sit for CAT again this year? Any suggestions?

AM
Abhineet Mitra Posted On : May 7th, 2022
K.J. Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research (2020)

Take CAT again, only if you are sure you will be able to convert an old IIM. Otherwise, go for IIM Udaipur. For an MBA, you shouldn’t choose a college based solely on placements. Placement will only help with the first job but what you will learn during your MBA will help you excel throughout your career. In that sense, the new IIMs are gradually catching up with the old ones. The curriculum and teaching methodology followed by IIM Udaipur is similar to that of the old IIMs. Most of the faculty members of the institute are well-experienced.

Being part of a new IIM is a different kind of experience. You will get to build up the culture of that college. Also, after your first job, the benefit of old IIM gets neutralized by your job performance.

Are undergraduate students from BITS Pilani sent to foreign universities like IITs?

DR
Deepshikha Roy Posted On : March 31st, 2023
studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

If you are an undergraduate student at BITS Pilani who is interested in studying abroad, it is important to understand that not all universities offer this opportunity to their students. Even IITs, which are known for their international research collaborations, do not send all undergraduate students abroad. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

  • Research scholarships like DAAD and MITACS are available for IIT and BITS Pilani students who want to study abroad. These scholarships are highly selective and only a few students are selected each year.
  • IIT students may have an advantage when it comes to research internships because of their "spam the professor" culture. Many IIT students send out mass emails to professors requesting research internships, which can result in multiple opportunities for those who are persistent.
  • BITS Pilani has a different course structure than IITs, with a greater emphasis on all-around subjects and a cluster of core subjects in the third year. This means that students may not be eligible for research internships until after their fifth or sixth semester of study.
  • BITS Pilani also requires a short, compulsory internship after the fourth semester (called Practice School 1) and a six-month to one-year industrial internship (known as Practice School 2) in the fourth year. This can limit the amount of time that students have available to pursue research internships.

While some students may have more opportunities than others when it comes to studying abroad or pursuing research internships, this should not discourage you from pursuing your goals. By focusing on your academic achievements, building your network, and taking advantage of the resources available to you, you can increase your chances of success and achieve your dreams of studying abroad.
