Thanks
I'm getting a score of 264 in BITSAT 2009.I read your advise to Purvi in previous post and it helped me a lot.I had a coaching at bansals kota for 2 yrs but my jee result isn't as good(i'm getting 166) and my expected rank in AIEEE is 9000. I,m a fresher and i'm in a dillema weather i should drop one year and try once again to get in IITs or not.
After reading your post it occured to me that if i get addmision to any of dual degree programes at BITS probably bio(like you did and purvi n plans to) and with an effort for one year i cud shift to a reasonably better and respectable branch i could save one year and rescue myself from monotonocity of similar studies for one year.Sir, i wish to ask is it tougher than preparing for jee ??also i'm afraid that if somehow i couldn't perform well wat are the conseqenses?
apart from above options i also have chance to get in NITs(with my score mentioned above) which of all do you think would be good for me?
pleae help me out i'm really confused.
thanx.
@Kesha : No it isnt tough...but it will be mentally strenuous more than actual studies coz there are lot of diversions...friends departments computers hostels gals and so on...so you need to control yourself and work hard...you can anyway enjoy a lot ...balance of fun and studies is most important...on the other hand JEE is all work and no play
If you are really determined to work hard go for duals...as for NIT which NIT will you get into???
If I take an M.Sc. degree in chemistry can I still take a B.tech in say mechanical or civil engineering or am I confined to chemical engineering.
Anyways you can take up any engineering degree whatever the M.Sc. degree you j oin...it is purely based on your performance in your first year and not your M.Sc. degree
The funny part being people have no idea about Chemical Engineering.....Everybody thinks Chemical Engineering is all chemistry + engineering...
But the fact being it is 70% Physics...lot of Mathematics and less related to Chemistry :)
As the results aren't yet out i don't know which NITs are for me but in my last query by "which of all" i meant weather i shld drop,go for then available NITs or opt for dual at BITS.
nd den score very well in his 1st yr.....
den cud he be transferred 2 4 yr coursse......
hv u evr hrd dat case........
@Anonymous : Irrespective of which degree you are if you have a very good CGPA say 9.5/10 you can go for an engineering degree transfer
There are decent hunk of students from dual degree who took a direct transfer to engineering...
Both dual degree and normal engineering guys do the same courses in first year ...so it doesnt matter which branch you belong to for a transfer
but my question is that do b.e students get more options then dual students in terms of placements,internship etc...
n also off campus students are also given a b.e degree but they ain't at d same level with on campus students...so having only a degree really matter????
'''????
can u pls. temme wat all courses n subjects ned to be done in da first year ( to change ma branch ie get a high cgpa ) >????
ps reply asap
And off campus guys getting a B.E. what is that???
@Anonymous 2 : Ya it is...but you need to get a CGPA of 9.5+...around 10 students get a transfer to engineering from first year..so getting a trasnfer is very tuff
@AAbnoymous 3 : All guys do the same courses in first year....as for course list check the dual degree 1 post
@Vishal : for mech you should be in among the top 120
@Anonymous : Hahahahahaha funny...how many repeaters get into JEE????
Do you have any idea about the number of people who simply waste an extra year and still not qualify into a goo engineering college???
Do you know the main reason why repeaters fail inspite of having an upper hand on first attempt guys???
It is frustration and diversions which kills their enthusiasm to study and get a good rank
Repeating according to me is the worst phase of your life...
On the other take a dual ...get an extra degree... better opportunities and a degree from BITS
I thank you once again for initiating such a great place for people like us to get their queries sorted out.
"This blog truly rocks"
scored 296 in bitsat (screwed up physics sec.)
wat i want to do...
1.B.E in CSE from pilani campus
now wid my score dats almost impossible......
Is there any way i can make it into pilani CS in the second year and yet complete B.E in 4years..???
EVEN IF it means slugging it out for yet another year....m all up for it...
:: nething for cs :)
i feel all that my talent in computers will be wasted if i don't get CS
ps. suggest a soln. sir.....this post i guess will clear out a lotta things for oders as well
n yea ... btw
ALL THE VERY BEST FOR UR PLACEMENT...
HOPE U DO WELL :)
also wht shd be the score(cgpa) in Ist yr to get a CS branch.
do the guys in BE also opt for msc degree(whts the significance)? i think BE is lot more better than msc.
if i opt for msc(obviously bcz of less score) n score a gud cgpa in Ist yr,thn the branch for dual degree(BE) will be decided by me or the bits comm. will decide it??
sir i am getting 255 what are my chances of getting a MSC_DUAL in physics or info. sys.
and what shud be my performance to ensure a BE in electronics,electrical or mech.....
i am totally confused
please answer soon.....:-(
@rohit : Ya every person gets a dual in engineering or B.Pharm(people with very less CGPA get B.Pharm)
A cgpa of 7.8+ is required which according to me requires decent hardwork
Ya some guys from B.E. opt for M.Sc dual to gain an upper hand for higher studies....A masters degree is always helpful for higher studies
And for the branch...you must give a preference order as you give now...and if you cross the minimum required CGPA for that degree you will get it
@Philosopher : Mostly no...you could M.Sc. Bio or B.Pharm...to get a electronic dual you need a cgpa of 7.5+ and for mech around 7+
And you cannot get dual with M.Sc. Information Systems under normal circumstances....you need a high cgpa...9+ mostly
i dunt wanna spend 5 years for it... is it so ??
:)
at 295mks i can get mech in goa and phy dual in pilani according 2 last year cutoff
wudnt getin into pilani be a much better idea as cgpa of 7.5 is quite manageable an du get an xtra degree for the cost of 1 yr.
and yes i am only 16 yrs. old so a few years wasted wont matter much(not dat doin msc will be a waste).
pls. comment
and if possible start an article related to counselling procedure and branches of engg.
@Arvind Junior: What???If you take a dual you will have to complete it in 5 years....only normal b.e. guys can do it in 4 years
@siddhartha : What are your other options...I wont advice join B.Pharm unless you have any other good options
@Debjit : Ya you can...but many people loose interest stop studying and end up with bad duals...so be prepared for slogging hard for one more year...else you will repent not joining Goa campus which according to me is a wiser and safer option
can i get msc chem dual degree from goa?
is it worth taking biological sci?
i hvnt takn bio in 12th..hv no clue abt it!
paper wasnt easy..specially eng hd mny difficult words, spellings etc..
phy was jus fractionnally tougher dan aieee, chem defintely mre toughr dan aieee...mstly inorganics..
maths ws vry lengthy, stuffed wid conics..tym consuming..
thankion in advance
i've read all your posts.and they were of great help.but i still have some doubts.kindly clear them.sir,i got a 276 in bitsat and my aieee score is 201.shall i go for the dual degree?i had dropped 1 year.and could not perform well in exams again.i wish to do an mba with a good engineering degree.could you please suggest which is the best possible option for me?i know im being long but i want to clear all my doubts.i am ready to work really hard in the first year.but will it be worth it??by tough competition do u mean ill hav to compete with those also who hv computer scince as their engineering degree.plz sir help.ive lost all my confidence.help
@292 : Check the post on cutoffs
@276 : Ya you need to compete with all to get a good CGPA but getting 8 is neither that tough nor that easy...it is all about mental strength rather than actual hard work.....you have lot of diversions...so the one who keeps his mind focus will get a good dual
Your placements depends on the engineering dual you get not your M.Sc. degree
Again depends on your interest if you want to take a dual work hard for one more year or take and engineering in Goa...purely depends on your interest and level of commitements
im getting 263 in bitsat......and im scoring 226 in aieee.....thus im not getting a good stream in any of the 3 top NITs(i mean trichy,warrangal,surathkal).......
......in an earlier post i learned that i will be getting only MSc in Bio in pilani(pls rectify me if im wrong).....will it be better if i join this dual course rather than any other NIT?????
...also can you pls giv n idea about how tuff it is to get a cgpa of 8+ with Biology in the 1st year.......thank you.....
Everyone does the same courses in first year...so it doesnt make a difference what course you join BITS with
if i prefer to go for Dual degree program wid MSC MATHS and BE in Mechanical at Goa,how is the scope of research wid my choice??And if I m planning to do my higher studies(I will definetly going to)i.e PG abroad at USA do BITS prepare for that???Like in website of Pilani campus one of the Bitsian was actually selected in YALE university wid gud scholarship??
i m xpecting around 250 @ aieee...
myt get a decent branch at nit..
thanx a lot sir ur blog has been of immmense help..
@sumukh : :)
What are my prospects? I read your blog and I think it is duals... And will I get duals in Pilani?
Nonetheless here are some of my doubts.....
i hav hrd abt dual degrees @ bits,plz clear some of my doubts.
1)Is a BE degree damn assured as a dual?Even the thought of getting BPhram with low cgpa has bcom a nightmare.How many of them usally gets BPharm?Or how difficult is it to get a good BE(EEE,CS,Mech)?
2)If a guy goes for MSc in Goa is he assured a BE as there is no BPharm in Goa?
3)If an MSc guy gets a BE @ d end of 1st yr,is he treatd d same way as in BE(Hons) counterparts,i mean during placements will he be put aside saying that this guy was not capable enough to get BE in the 1st attempt,so he is not gud enough(discrimination)?Or is there any difference in the course structure of BE as dual and the normal BE?
4)A BE degree usually requires 4 yrs & MSc takes 2 yrs to complete.But in BITS the MSc+BE is finished in 5 yrs time.Doesn’t this mean more workload?
5)I hav been told that MSc Eco is gud coz its ezy to get gud cgpa @ d end of 1st yr.If 1st yr syll is comm. 2 all then why Msc Eco is preffrd?
6)the course structure of different programs r provided in the BITS site. only the course details of 2nd 3rd &4th yr r given(5th yr missing).If we do our MSc in 2nd yr& 3rd yr when is the time 2 do the BE course?
7)An MSc guy getting EEE or CS @ d end of 1st yr is in a better position than a BE(Chem,Civil) guy inspite of the former scoring less than the latter in bitsat. Is this a bit unfair?
And sir I read you too are a dualite.... It would really cool if you could write a post about your personal experience as a dual student. What have your trials and successes been? How hard or easy was it for you to get a BE after the first year..... What is the commitment required? ...stuff like that... I think info straight from the horses mouth is the best!
but i was pretty damn unsatisfied...lyk they had three qs were none of the options matched..
i reported the fact as specified...will I get marx for it??oh yeah and could you make a post suggestin an order in which to fill the preferences:D..n i kno this gets repetitive for you btu considering the marx i have...shuld i opt for an NIT if i get a really gud rank in it...say within 1000..?n could you suggest wut i shuld go for at this mark,meybe u could make a preference list for evrybody...it helps:D..
thanx so much...u rock\m/
PS:on the lighter note,lotta ppl r scarin me wid raggin related stories at pilani but when i checked da bits360 website,the seniors were pretty decent:D...any comments?;0
sir,since ive dropped an year wud it b advisable to go 4 dual degree..and wid ma score id probably end up with msc biology..cant i get ne engineerin degree in hyderabad..since u 2 hav been a dualite..cn u shed sm lite on ur xperience
1)Only 3-4 guys with very very very less CGPA get B.Pharm dual...even if you study for 3-4 hours before the exam you can get into and engineering dual :)...but seeing some guys who are pathetic...hopeless and tooo lazy I watn every guy on my blog the possibility of getting a B.Pharm dual if you dont study...It is just a warning so that no one can blame me in future :)
2)Ya he is assured....worst case Chemical
3)Actually M.Sc. guys are preferred during placements and internship...For example the cutoff for MY PS2(internship/project work) @ QualComm is 7.5 for normal B.E.guys while for M.Sc.(hons) dual guys it is 6.7 ...
Some companies have a policy not to take guys during placements in campus who do not passout in 4 years...only few companies have such policies and it is not of much concern...When you go for off campus placements you can anyways join those companies
4) The beauty of BITS system :) An M.Sc. in BITS takes 4 years....A B.E. in BITS takes 4 years....and you do almost all common courses in 1 and second year....so in third you do your M.Sc. courses and in 4 your B.E. courses....in 5 year you do your PS2(internship/project work) or thesis...As for hectic it is a bit hectic...but you dont do more than 7 structured courses any sem :)
5)No it is good coz you get a good CGPA in M.Sc. Eco courses i.e. 3 year...not first year....also you can go into the field of finance and economics if you go for M.Sc.(hons) Eco...And I say it again and again...all guys do the same courses in first year :)
6)You do common courses in 1 year...almost all common courses in 2 year along with 2-3 branch specific courses...third year you do your M.Sc. courses...in 4 year your B.E. courses...in 5 your PS2 or internship
7)No it isnt...The risk your taking hoping to get a CompSci or EEE dual should be rewarded...and the distinction between Civil/Chemical and etc is only for placements....for MS Civil/Chemical guys have more opportunities as the competition is less :)
And for MBA it doesnt matter at all which discipline you belong to
And for my story - it will be like a Bollywood movie :)
Will write it some time later when I am free
its relative difficulty in terms of content.
which course usually gets better placement...
a general nfo is mroe dan enuff...no need to be specific:)else culd u post sum links fmr where we cudl get such info...:)
itz lyk individual lyks and dislyks vary...but i guess a general idea abt the different courses..n diff dualite combos..helps..:)
The guys with ranks below 100 join BITS...Y think of an NIT?
As for preference list will do it
1)is it possible that if i do well in the first year-i get a chance to change my branch to smthn like EEE/CS? if so -what should be the min cgpa?
@Anonymous 2 : Check the post on dual degrees and transfer
1) The books needed for my first year preparation(Please dont be reluctant to mention this because I am seriously aiming for a high cgpa and I am determined to start my preparations now)
2)The exam schedules...tho i have read that it is continuous evaluation..please tell me when the main exams will be for the first sem and out of how many marks will it be..are the teachers stingy..:D..
3)Do your room mates let you study incase you are seriously studying..
4)Please give us an idea about the academic calendar of a first yr student..[like jun so and so ..july...]...
awaiting your reply..thanks a lot in advance...:-)
1)The books hmmmm...try them @ bits360.com...I am not in touch with first yearites...
2)In Pilani you have exams almost everyday...it is tough...but on the other hand you dont have compulsory attendance :)...so plan properly the schedule you can get it only after going to the campus...it changes every year
3)Depends on your room mate...My room mate was a great guy...we both got M.Sc.(hons) transfer from Bio...he took Physics
4)It starts in August...and the weekly exams start from second week...there is continous evaluation...there is a cul fest in october for which you get around 10 days of Holiday...before the cul fest you have test series 1 for 20% and test series 2 for 20%...the final will be from dec 1 to dec 15 for 40%...the continuous evaluation in the form of surprise quizes...tutorials...labs and other stuff which accounts for 20%
can i get into the bits nany way
@200 : No way
@Package : My package??? Ok I am dualite my placement will be in 5-2...I am in my 5 year now and I have been selected in Qualcomm for doin a 1 year intern(project work /ps2) as part of my dual degree @ a stipend of 20k plus extras...if I get placed I think I will be getting a package close to 6lpa(+extras) which is good for a guy with average CGPA ( my cg is only 7/10 )
1)m in d eml..shall i go 4 it or shud prefer bits(276) dual?
2)if i take up msc biology in pilani hw mch work il hav 2 put to get comp sci dual?
3)also is there a provision of a degree change if v perform really well in d first year?
thanks 4 ur help sir so far..
First of all, "GREAT, hilarious & outstanding WORK"
Secondly, I ve read 'both articles' comments & replies.... but still want to ask you a small doubt in my own words ...... coz i m still in a bit of dilemma !
I was bed-ridden for almost a week jus be4 xam even on the day of exam i was ill ..... yet i scored 307 .... more than what i expected in these circums ..... but still less than what i can get !
So what's better for me ....
1> Take a drop and appear for BITSAT 2010
2> Take a Dual
Mare about me...
" i seriously want to take research + teaching as a profession so is this path correct:-
take M.Sc.(hons) Physics in Pilani .... then opt for ECE dual ....
PLZ guide me coz i have no one else than you to help me ... really !
@rupali : 1) Dual obviously
2) Decent effort required...should control yourself from lots of distractions :)
3)Ya do check the post on difference between dual degree and transfer
@Bhavesh : Thanks finally someone does appreciate my comic sense :)
Anyways why do you want to drop an extra year???Instead take a dual and get a good degree and do justice to the extra year :)
M.Sc. + B.E : Research in so many diverse fields ...
There is no ECE in Pilani campus but it doesnt matter as you can do all Communication related courses as electives by taking a EEE dual...
And 306 is not a bad score...put decent efforts in your first year and get a good dual in engineering
thanks to your guidance and bits360 (i have been reading your blog since april)
i may get branch of my choice at manit bhopal (m.p.) through the aieee exam....( through the state quota){marks in aieee 200 ;eml in iit jee 2009;}
i have secured 286 in bitsat 2009 is still dual at bits a better option ?
is dere any scope in it
2 ) wich one z better msc tech or msc hons...
@transfer to Chemical : Around 9.2
@Anonymous : 1) No idea
2) M.Sc.(hons) if you are willing to spend an extra year and get a good engineering dual....M.Sc.(tech( if you want to pass out in 4 years and dont care about Engineering degree :)
Mukul.
thank you sir!!!!!!!!!
planning to join bits!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your can do your higher studies related to one of the fields or a combination of the fields
@Sumit : :)
my frn said dat he is doin BE IS in pilani campus....but on d site it is given dat it is in duals only....
if it is in BE den arnd wat is d cut off last year.
I got a 288. I want to take up a dual in chemistry and computer sci. Does the instituion definitely give out 35-40 seats in all branches of engg according to my cgpa or is it availability based??
You dont get duals with M.Sc.(tech) degrees....Only with M.Sc.(hons) degree you get duals in Engineering
@Madhumita : They give 35-40 seats in every branch.....Civil and Chemical have lesser number of dual seats as people are already accommodated into CompSci/EEE/EIE/Mech
some of my father's officemates were sayin that with 307 on the cards, it is impossible to get 'pilani', due to some reasons i may not be able to go GOA/HYD. 'if not pilani, then not BITS'- dats what my parents say.
They have no problem if i go for dual, but only physiX ...... they r so specific!
what can i do now !
My score in BITSAT is 270.Can i get selected? can i do dual degree? actually interested in B.Tech ece or civil.
Give gud suggestion for my best carrier .
Such people have fixed notions and only think in one direction...What is more important is your career and their advice does not help the cause...
I may sound rude but I hate such people who try to rub their idiotic thoughts on others children
Anyways with 307 you will surely get Pilani...Physics also
If you want to hear success stories of BITSians with Eco/Chem/Maths/Bio other than Physics search on www.bits360.com/forum<br />
Tell your dad to read my blog and it is your future so stand up
And for Goa...it is a very very good college....visit www.bits360.com/forum for more info
@Sanketh : Go for dual...you mostly wont get any engineering degree
which dual course can i get with 270??
n which one should i opt so that i can take civil,ece r mech in the 2nd year????
I didnt do full jsutice to myself in aieee,iit
an people kept scaring me sayin bits is only for iitians.but when i startd readin your blog ,
got inspired and workd hard,did many qs papers.got 303
so,great job,bhaiya
newy i have a doubt given below
I am prepd to work hard
Go for Goa...it is a good college....Till Mech it is good to avoid a dual degree as the final degree you get is same though different campuses
" sir, i dont know why, but your words have inspired me and taken me out of the big depression i had. if possible i would surely want to meet you.... thanX a lot !!! "
And enjoy your holidays :)
No, I repeat, no person, who isn't it BITS advised me to take it over comp sc. in MA-NIT. In fact, they said BITS Goa was bad too, but I can't say about that.
Please give some valid reasons on why to spend one year extra, when in the end you get paid almost equal to a b.tech grad when u finish ur degree. I know Msc helps in research, but I don't wanna do research. In fact, most don't. They join as engineers or do MBA.
Will MSc help in M. Tech in India?
Which is better goa or hyderabad. I know right now hyderabad is not completely developed, but by the time we graduate, it might get better than goa. What do u think?
Also, I get this feeling that due to goa's location, it might turn into something like Manipal.
Even our ex president Abdul Kalam when he visited our campus was very much impressed with this system and said that the future is in inter disciplinary research work itself
As for NIT vs BITS as I always say you just even think of comparing the two colleges...they are light years apart....
Also for the extra year you spend doin an intern and it really helps in getting better jobs for sure
An M.Sc. degree will surely help for MS/M.tech simply because you have many many many more fields do a masters in engineering
Simple example : Say you join M.Sc. ( Bio) and take CompSci dual -just google search the number of fields you can do research/higher studies i.e. M.Tech or MS
@Vishal : Bad environment and diverting ...control your tongue bro...Booze and drugs are more rampant in IIT's and NIT's and BITS authorities are very strict with ragging and boozing/drugs
Companies dont care where you study....they just see whether you have had quality education adn if you can sustain the company pressure...and BITSians are very good at handling pressure
Goa was established in 2004...why do you think now it will turn into a Manipal???
Your bad notions about Goa will surely help some other guy take your place
So make a wise choice
And do show your parents the blog www.bits360.com/forum
My dad told me of a guy some of his colleagues were interviewing. He had got decent marks in everything. But he had completed engineering in 5 years. On questioning, he said he lost one year du to jaundice. The interviewers didn't believe him much, and became sceptical about him. So, you see, a dual may harm your prospects, becuase it's not the original 4 year course. Plus you waste a year.
Don't you think a four year course in NIT would be better?
Please give me reasons why NOT to join an average NIT in your home state (like Nagpur).
Companies infact prefer dualites over normal engineering guys in many cases...Some companies though have a rule that they dont select guys through placements who pass out in more than 4 years....But even in such companies you can have offcampus/walkin placements...anyways my advice will never convince idiots like you...
Do you think that the thousand of BITSians who passed out of BITS with dual degrees are fools????
@Others : You make that extra year count by doing 1 year internships in companies(like I do - 1 year intern @ QualComm) ...also the dual degree helps a lot in higher studies...
One must not care about the placements.... Your initial placement doesn't matter at all...what matters is your higher studies...the opportunities you get...how you develop as an individual
And BITS is way better than NIT's in such things
i got 1 doubt
u had xplaned the whole system of calculation of cgpa
id lik 2 ask
case1:i have taken msc. eco. in pilani
case2:i have taken mech at goa
with whom i have 2 compete
2 make my q clear
do cs guys compete with only cs guys or with all 800 guys
similarly do dual guys compte vid only dual guys
i wanna join bts ahead of any nit
but i am confused as to vich degree shud i opt for
I'm interested in taking admission in pilani campus itself... got 281... last year's cut off for dual course in bio sc n eco were 274 n 285 resp... now since the opening of new iits, im expecting the cut off to fall this yr... at max be the same but not rise... so tht shuld make at least bio sc at pilani a certainty... i'd like u to comment on my calculation...
also my query is whether i can switch my MSc course aftr 1st yr... i dont wanna take bio but am really interested in takin eco as second degree as it'd be gr8 to have a subject of tht nature along wit a sc degree... also im interested in doing MS latr n so will i be preparin throughout 4 it in all the 4 yrs... hope the multiple courses of dual wont be a hurdle in tht... i ve read in ur earlier post tht one can but just need an assurance... sorry but im a bit anxious about this if u culd understand...
i got 238 in BITSAT 2009 . will it be possible for me to get a dual degree in BITS HYDERABAD ? i'm totally confused . please give me some information about what course
( physics or bio ...etc.)
can you tell me why dual degree cut offs are so low .are placements for btech better than duals
No placements for both depend mainly on three things
1) Your Branch
2) Your CGPA
3) Your extra curricular activities
Ayan
@Ayan : The thing is that the part of faculty of new campuses is from Pilani and there is constant echange of faculty to improve standars in all the colleges...
Goa faculty is very good and more important is the BITS degree...and going for an established college is more desired than a very new campus...so give preference to Goa and not for Hyd and just dont go by the faculty
You will get all duals in all the campuses but why take the trouble....join Goa campus...you will get a decent degree
And no you cannot drop out of dual degree once you join in BITS and go for simple B.E.....for doing that you need a very very good CGPA...close to 9.5 out of 10
i scored 248 in bitsat 2009..and im interested in doing chemical engineering..
im frm wb..n hav a state rank of 906 n so can most probably get chemical eng. in NIT durgapur..
do i stand a chance 2 get in2 this dual degree in any bits campus?
i didnt hav bio in 12 so even in d worst case scenario cudnt possibly study b.pharm, could i? then i should be able 2 do b.e. in chemical?
thank u..
anyway waiting 4 a reply...btw this blog is really good..i hope i had come across it earlier..
Sir gr8 posts so far.
OK. My bro works in TCS and I was just going thru the company profile and found out that TCS's CEO S Ramdorai is an MSc. + BE
This brings me to my next doubt.
Its stated on bits360 that the normal BE guys get a very light last sem as they complete their electives before the 4th yr. What about a dualite?
As in if I as a dualite complete my electives before my 5th yr PS2 ans stay on campus for a thesis.... do I get the free time to prepare for job interview and GRE/CAT etc.?
How practical is this hypothesis, is it very diff to complete those electives?
And you also commented on the course load of a dual degree but I could not get you at that time could please brief me about the course load again? I know in relative terms a dual is more hectic than a normal BE. But in general how demanding is the dual course. Please try to mention some details regarding working hrs per day for some diff sems.
Take your time to reply..after all I am the one who is totally free! :)
NIT tag might help
@Anonymous : Around 6...very eassy to get that CGPA :)
@Rishabh : the funny part of TCS CEO is he wants to come for placements from BITS but our college placement incharge had some confrontation with him and is not allowing TCS for placements :)...I am not sure if it is the truth or just a rumour
Dualites dont have a light sem till 4 year
Dualites generally do 2 PS2(2 sems internship) in 5 year...but some sensible guys who prepare for CAT or GRE or GMAT stay one sem on and do a thesis...
For doing a thesis you dont have any classes or any exam but pure research and this means you have a lot of free time
You can also attend complete sem placements during this one semester unlike normal dualites who have only one week placement
There is nothing like working hours per day...you just need to be focused on your academics...that will help you to get a good CGPA..
As for the dual degree being hectic it is sometimes but it more mental than physical :)
can you please tell me the subject combinations that would supplement each other while opting for duals
Economics goes well with all engineering degrees
Physics with EEE/EIE/Mech
Maths with CompSci
Chemistry and Bio with all degrees
ur comments on the situation of ragging there... is it too worrisome???
also id really appreciate if u create another forum for those who're ready to go for bits n have similar queries regarding campus life, facilities, etc etc...
@Maths guy : Less than 60
@Ayan : Mostly no ragging....Already many such forums....Visit www.bits360.com/forum
1. to change from B Pharma to msc dual , what is the lowest cgpa needed and what we get in it, like eee/phy or cse/maths or civil/phy?
2. plz tell to change from B pharma in hyderabad to the above 3 after first year what approx. cgpa will be needed..
3. also sir, if we are in msc (bio)[for which I am a border case] then to change in the above three what cgpa would be needed..
and thanks for providing such wonderful informations
1) See the point is you cannot get a transfer to an M.Sc.(hons) and then take an engineering dual - no such cases are possible....i.e. if you take a transfer after first year to M.Sc. you will not get a dual in engineering but do only an M.Sc.(hons) course for 4 years
2) To change to an engineering degree you need a CGPA above 9.2 for BITS
3)If you get an M.Sc. Bio for transfer and dual stuff read post on difference between duals and transfers...adn other posts on dual degrees
I AM NOT GEETNG THE THE TERM 'ITERATIONS' IN THE ADMISSIONS PROCEDURE.
PLS EXPLAIN ME THIS CASE.
ALSO I VE SENT THE APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION WHEN WILL GET TO KNOW THE RESULTS WHETHER I SELECTED OR NOT.MY BITSAT SCORE IS 255.please explain me clearly.
[i] to any BE / engineering courses can end up with a Master's degree after 4/5/6 years ?
[ii] to MSc [hons] can end up with only a Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a Masters is also possible under the duals method ?
As I'm planning to do research in future [ my specialization will be under mechanical engg ] , I want to know whether it is better to end up with a Master's in Engineering or go by the dual method to end up with a Masters in say in Physics and a bachelor's in Mech Engg ?
Yes you can get a Masters degree after joining college with an Engineering(B.E.) degree provided you perform well in the first year. One of my senior passed out with B.E. Computer Science + M.Sc. Mathematics
You can also do another Masters degree - it is not restricted to an engineering degree. One of my batchmates is doing M.Sc. Physics with M.Sc. Mathematics - Hope this clears your doubt
According to me both options are equally good. It entirely depends on you how you make use of the opportunities
