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 π
Rahul says
I am planning to go for Mtech in software systems with specialization in data analytics.Could you please let me know if after completing the course will the degree hold any value?I am currently working as DBA and have around 9 years experience.I want to switch role in data analytics.So will the degree give any weight-age apart from knowledge.
Prasanna says
Hi Rahul,
Even I am planning to enroll for M tech in Software Systems with specialization in Data analytics. Though I have experience in analytics for more than 8+ years, I feel this course is very recommended if you are planning to get into machine learning. This syllabus is a very good and covers lot of concepts in ml and computer science too. Good luck π

hi,
A quick question …
What happens if I decide to switch/quit my job after enrolling for WILP BITS ?
Shreyas says
You can update the new organization/mentor details on BITS portal.
Yuvaraj says
Hi Mohan,
For BITS M.Tech SS – WILP the classes are conducted on all weekends throughout all the 4 semesters? OR Do they send us a calendar? I work in Production Support which ‘may’ need me reachable in weekends if situation needs. So want to know how frequent the weekend classes are conducted?

Ashvini says
Whats the role of a mentor? Does he need to contact BITs ever in entire duration or prepare status report of the student?
Also, how difficult is to clear papers, I mean how many hours a day needed?
chaithra says
I do have same query, without any clarity on this it is difficult to convince anyone to become our mentor in the organization Can anyone reply for this query

Ajay says
1)Is WILP MTech is UGC approved, If not how it helps us?
2)After completion of this course, Am I eligible for NET in india?
3)On the course completion, Can I get full time course completion certificate or part time certificate?
Lavika says
Hi Ajay,
1. WILP M.tech is UGC approved.
2. Yes you are eligible
3. The degree cannot be differentiated as such from full time M.Tech
Shahnaz says
Hi, I was trying to apply to BITS MS programme, but instead ended up applying for MTSS (M.tech)as i was not able to find MSSS programme to apply.
Could anyone suggest what are the odds for this program and how it is different from MSSS(MS)
Ranvir says
Just a nomenclature difference, BITS has moved out of name MS to MTech. Its because UGC consider MTech/ME as valid nomenclature of degrees which a university can offer in India for a technical course.
technophilo says
It is a modification made by UGC, just to differentiate between MS to be acquired after MBBS graduates and MS by working professionals in order to avoid confusion. Not only BITS other institution like VIT offering similar programme has renamed it to MTech. Also, some of the NITs have recently renamed their MS (by Research) degree program as MTech (by Research).
Ashutosh kumar says
I am the first year student in M.Tech (SS), but today in TE found this artical-
UGC asks 10 institutes including NMIMS, TIFR and BITS Pilani to shut off-campus centres
Read more here:
so please have clarification from BITS before applying.
Pradeep says
Hi Mohan,
It would be highly appreciated that if you can clarify the following points in regards M tech (QM) under WLIP:
On line class timing & flexibility
Certificate attestation; can we do self attestation
Mentor selection; can I select outside my organisation
How difficult is the course to complete

Aravind says
Hi Mohan,
I finished my diploma in mechanical engineering with 90% got selected in reputed company . I have planned to do B.Tech engineering and Technology in BITS through WILP( Work Integrated Learning Programmes) .
Is it worth studying? what are the job aspects ?
BITSAlumni says
Hi Arvind,
I have done my BS and MS from BITS, Pilani WILP. I was also college topper in Diploma in those old days (1995 batch). In my opinion you should do part time (evening college) recognized BE/BTech in regular university. BITS B.Tech will not be helpful in doing ME/Mtech from other universities as it is not recognized by AICTE.
vikas says
Hi Arvind,
If you can for full time then it would be a great option, otherwise part time option wont be bad either. I don’t think you would have placements for part time. BITS degree is recognized world wide. I have done my masters from BITS pilani part time. If you want to do PHD after that you shouldn’t have any problem though . At least in New Zealand they don’t make a fuss about it ( I am currently living here since last 5 years and have applied for PHD here and got approved but i decided not to pursue ). At the end of day degree don’t matter much its what can you do for a company with your knowledge that matters π Good luck

Who can apply for second sem, what is that?
Thanks

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.
