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,
I am planning to join the MS program in coming september. There is no tie up between the company i work for and BITS. I will be taking it on my own. I just want to know whether i can continue the course in case i quit my job after a year after joining the course. Pls clarify.
Mohan says
Yes!!! If you join the course in your individual capacity, you can always continue the course irrespective of who your employer is 🙂

I got the admission offer in MS SS but not able to decide whether doing this course is worth or not. My organization does not have collaboration with BITS. I need to bare all the fees that seems to be very high. And also I’m thinking like spending that much money and 2 years of time is worth?
Mohan says
I think you need to evaluate your priorities and align them with your long term goals. That will help you answer your doubts.

Hello Venkat,

When I send an e-mail from the site, mail failure occurs.
Thank you for your reply.
Mohan says

Mohan,
I was not able to apply for MS (SS) for the current academic year-2010. Dead line was May-31. Is there any way, we can apply for this academic year on exceptional basis now. I want to fund myself without any employer sponsorship.Having 5+ years of experience in IT with B.Tech as highest qualification.
If I can’t apply for the current year which is going to commence in July-2010, What is the next earliest notification date for applying for MSSS ?
Thanks a lot in advance. Mahesh
Mohan says
Mahesh, usually they call out for admissions twice a year. Once in Nov/December while the other around May/June. So, watch out their press releases.

Hi Mohan,
I have a query here. I’m in my second sem now. When are we supposed to pay the term fees ? I’ve been visiting the DLP website frequently but there is no notice on that. As the sem is going to begin on July 3rd, I’m a bit confused when we exactly need to pay the fee. Itz 14th today n there is just 20 days left for the next sem to begin.
Mohan says
Sorry, I have no clue about that. In my case, the fee was paid by my employer and i just had to furnish the admission papers for each semester.
vicky says
Need help guys
Going to join MS in SS from BITS this july 2010.
Being a beginner, I need some guidance from experience guys here. As you all know I have to chooses courses for all the semester. So, considering my graduation in electronics and high or low scoring subjects, please help me in choosing between these four options
1. Computer networks VS Network programming
2.Computer Organisation VS Advance operating system
3. Network security VS Embedded system design
4. Database systems and application VS Data mining
Mohan says
Since you have electronics background, all the first options in the mentioned 4 list item would be easier for you. If you wish to learn something new, then probably you can opt for the latter 4.

Hi,
I’m a mechanical engineer with 4+years of experience in sheet metal tooling industry (Process, Design, stamping analysis and structural analysis) Write now im working as a CAE engineer in an M.N.C Chennai.
I finished my 3rd semester in M.S (Manufacturing Mgmt.) after finishing my dissertation. in what way it will help my career growth. and give any suggestion to lift my career growth.
Mohan says
It will only help if you start applying the concepts you learnt in MS onto your regular work!
Ingressu says
It is an utter waste degree. Why did you do it at first place? Instead, you should have managed to do M.Tech from anna university
Bhushan says
Dear Mohan,
Computer Network was there in my Engineering syllabus. I want to ask you one more question. It’s my dream to obtain MS degree from US university too, may be in telecommunications. I have bond with my current employer for 2 more years. After which I will plan for the same.So, I will be able to do it or not after BITS MS course?
Mohan says
There is a change in depth to which we learn during graduation and masters. Of course, you can seek admission through US universities. Not sure if you are aware that BITS MS course through distance learning mode is not AICTE approved.
Suraj says
Hi Mohan,
I m in 2nd sem of BITS Collaborative program of MS.due to some reasons i have to resign from current employer. But as as MS is going on, i jus want to clear that can i start my MS from 2nd sem personally or thru new employer. I have also received my marksheet of Ist Sem.
Pls guide me as i dont want to crap my MS.
Watching for your reply
Warm Regards,
Suraj
Mohan says
Suraj, I doubt if you can continue from where you have left the course. In collaborative programs, if the employee leaves the organization due to any reason, the course is void. I suggest you check with BITS and seek more clarity on this.

Anoop says
I’m doing my MS in SS. I got an E grade in one of the subjects in my 3rd sem. Had I passed this subject, I would have been left with dissertation work. Now, can I go ahead with the dissertation work and appear for this particular subject in parallel? or do I have to apply for a sem to pass this subject and then have to apply for the dissertation later? Please advise
Mohan says
Anoop, sorry to know that. Well, as far as I know, you need to clear all the subjects with a min CGPA of 5.5 or more before registering for dissertation.

Hi Mohan.
This blog was really helpful in understanding the basics of doing MS SS from BITS Pilani.
Iam a Chemical Engineer with 5 years of Refinery experience. I have a consistent mark of 80+ % right from school. I have also done PG Diploma in Petrochemicals & Refining.
Throughout my career I was involved more in automation/control related activities. Iam more interested in working with Automation systems. Also i came to know through some colleagues that C, C++, VB language knowledgew would be more helpful in coding of the automation processes with respect to simulator tools.
Hence I am planning to do MS SS. I have a Mentor who has done MS SS from BITS. He is one of our simulator vendor for our refinery processes.
Kindly let me know,
a. Whether I would get admission?
b. How far I could grasp the subjects with no IT knowledge?
c. What sort of projects I could do?
d. Whether Software industry hire such kind of person with Chemical Engineering background/Refinery Experience/MS SS???
e. I preferred to do MS SS rather than MS QS. I want to be more on technical side and thought that QS would be rather dry subject.Am I right?
Thanks & Regards,
krishna
