I am happy to announce that I have joined BITS pilani to pursue my higher studies. Starting this 19th, my weekends would be productively invested towards achieving my postgraduatation. I have been approved to take admission into MS programme in Software Engineering from this premiere institute.
The duration of this course is 2 years (4 semesters) and it is being offered in collaboration with my employer Yahoo!. This is one more benefit that yahoo is offering to its employees starting this year. I am preveliged to be in the very first batch of such a collaborative program. Classes will be conducted in the office premises during weekends. It may be a bit difficult to manage work, studies and personal life. Thanks to my family members who have pledged support to realize my dream of getting masters from a renowed institution. Wish me all the best :)

Hi,
What is meant by admission to First Semester and Second semester?
I got this from website of bits:
“Normally, the Advertisement for admissions will come up in several English language dailies and on the Web in the month of April / May (for First Semester) and in the month of September / October (for Second Semester).”
Who can apply for second sem, what is that?
Thanks
Hi All,
I have following questions related to the admission in WLIP program (MS in software systems):
1.Please confirm if this course is approved by AICTE or any other technical Council from India or Other country.
2.At what time of the year can i enroll my self for this course.
3.What minimum job experience is required , i have been working in accenture since July 2011 and have 11 month exp. in Mainframe Development and Testing.
4.List of document required for Mentor profile
No buddy, i did a bit of R&D myself and found that this course isn’t approved by any statutory body – AICTE, DEC etc. And isn’t recognised as M.Tech (since same can’t be earned in distance mode in India). Hope this helps.
Is there anybody who is able to access the bits video lecture or slides.
Hi Friends, I am a B.Tech, PGDM and have 6+ years of work ex. Am looking for completing my Masters, since I wish to go for PhD. I don’t want to do a distance masters from non descript university and part time is not feasible. MS (Manufacturing Management) seems to be a good choice but am not sure whether it will open doors for PhD elsewhere. Guys please let me know if you have come across some one who has done his PhD (Management) on the basis of MS, either from India or abroad. There is no clarity on this aspect.
Can we do Ph. D. from a reputed college/university like IITs after MS Software Systems from Bits Pilini (Work integrated program) ?
No,
You have to take from bits itself.
Hi,
Is there anybody else to get the username and password.
I still havn’t got it.
Hey, If u have made the fee payment and if ur status shows as fees received then u should have got the user name and password. U have to get in touch with the BITS admin and let him know that u have paid the fees. Its already late, but if its a genuine issue then u shld get it. ALso send out a mail to them with a copy of the receipt of payment.
dear friend, me to apply for ms in MSMM 2012 PLEASE SHARE all your experience and jankari

Hi,
What all do we need to post after receiving the offer letter? is it only the offer letter and payment mode? Pls help
Regards,
Sheetal
Its given in the offer letter
They need attested copy of provision certificate and name proof.
Please verify once more the offer letter.
name proof is needed only if the name is changed or spelling is changed. else the 10th marks sheet that has been submitted before holds good as the name proof. I guess they only need photocopy of the attested degree certificate as enclosure.
ok thanks
Can u please give the list of things that u have send in your post
i have sent the offer letter, payment page, photocopy of the attesetd degree certificate, & the payment receipt (DD in my case)

Hi,
I read in a blog post : “If you fail in any semester, you should pay the semester fee again to take the exam” Any idea abt this…
Yes, you have to pay the entire semester fee again if you fail in one of the papers. In other words, you have re-do the semester. Better prepare well for exams rather than being sorry later.
Hi,

Is there any cut-off criteria in marks or anyother way for this course.
no, there is not any cut off criteria. but u shud have min 1 yr wrk experience
Hello,
Does this course have any value
I am planning to apply
Hi Sachin,
Dont know what value does it add. But still if you want to do M.S. from Indian Universities i think this is one among the best universities.
Thank you Abhay
Is there any cut-off criteria in marks or any other way for this course
There is no cut-off criteria Sachin. But there are two conditions in applying for this: 1. atleast one year experience in your working organization and 2. suitable mentor having 5 years experience or holding a master’s degree.
If you are planning to apply, i would insist you do it asap as the last date for the receipt of application is June 5th, 2012
Thank u arjun.
Can anybody please tell me how to persue MS in QM form BITS and what is the syllabus for that.
I am having 5 yrs of experience in IT .
Hi,
Can anyone suggest me whether I can take a gap of one or two years after completed first year of my course?
Thanks in advance..
Hi,
does anyone know what will be approximate date for first and second semester fianl exams as well as mid sem and dissertation report??
Hi,
Has anyone submitted the application for MS SS?
Regards,
Sheetal
Sheetal,
I have completed the filling of forms, except for one where the write-up is required.
Oh ok, for the write up, you are printing it out after tyoing or should it be written by us? And regarding the experience letter, should we give them the original one or a photo copy?
Oh i have the same doubt about the print/write thing. I am thinking of typing it because only then it comes within a single page (which saves page).
Experience letter can be original if it is easy to get the letter from your organisation. Else, its better to send a colour photocopy of it.
okay. And how about attestation? Should it be done only for degree certificates/marks cards or each and every documnet we send them? i mean the resumes, write up’s, experience letter???
Sheetal, attestation is required only for certificates. Nothing else requires attestation.
Do we need to go to Pilani to submit the dissertation?
Regards,
Abhay Desai
i guess so..
Hi Sheetal,
Do you know the tentative dates of First and second semester exams?
Hi,
Can anyone elaborate the role of mentor in our course?
Hi Abhay,
One of my colleague in my company is doing the course.
He said that mentor does not have any particular role.
But it would be good if you keep somebody who is well qualified from your organiztion itself.
Thanx Sachin..

Hi Sheetal
Kindly follow the below link [+].
Saswat
Thank you. Has any1 started to apply?
Hi,
Anyone knows the sources for the study materials which we can get to prepare for the examinations?
Hi,
I have the same query.Does it have any value.I am very much keen to pursue PhD after this.I have 3+yrs of experience in IT industry.
-Natasha
same query here as well.. pls post, if u get any reply for this
I had read is some blog that it is not AICTE approved.
If you are going for PhD then, u should do it from the same institution.
Not sure its as per a blog.
Hi Sachin
Yes,you are right.The course is not AICTE approved and you wont be able to pursue PhD from all Govt. Colleges.Only few colleges will accept this degree particularly pvt. colleges.Even I have 5+ yrs of exp. and I was also planning to pursue M.S from BITS,Pilani.But later I dropped my idea.I am looking out for M.S/M.Tech course which won’t create any hindrance in my PhD. degree in future.
Regrads
Saswat
2 yrs back I discussed the same with BITs people over phone. They agreed that other institutes will not allow PhD after MS from Bits pilani as these courses are not UGC approved. But they said that we can do PhD from BITs Pilani itself after this course. I dropped the idea of doing MS from BITS Pilani then :(
I would suggest do MS/MTech Part time or MCA from IGNOU which is UGC Approved, and in parallel prepare for UGC NET.
Hi Ashvini
Is it worth pursuing PhD. in computer science from IGNOU?
Do you have any info in that?
Kindly let me know which govt./pvt. colleges are providing MS/M.Tech in part time basis.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Saswat
I am not sure how is IGNOU’s PhD. My intend is to say that do MTech/MCA in order to get the base degree and to study the subjects required for NET. Once you are through, you can pursue PhD from any good institute.
There are some colleges/universities like BITS Mesra (some extention centres like Noida), Manipal Univ, Some small Govt Univ also which offer part time MTech/MCA.
Hi All
I am planning to pursue M.S from BITS pilani this yr in S.S.But I wonder wehther I am elligible for PhD. from any universities after this degree.Is it AICTE approved course?
Kindly help.
Regards
Saswat
