Certain motivated and hardworking students whnao are in dissertation stream may finish the programme in three semesters by starting the dissertation component right in their first semester. The programmes are intended to give a penetrating professional experience and an opportunity to acquire further competence either in one's own discipline or in many other traditional areas of Engineering, Pharmacy as well as interdisciplinary areas, like, Electronics and Control, Embedded Systems, Microelectronics, Software Systems, Biotechnology, Manufacturing Systems, Design Engineering, Materials Science & Technology, Transportation Engineering, Public Health etc.

Master of Business Administration:

The Institute has been running a Management programme namely Master of Management Studies (MMS) with a strong foundation in Science & Engi-neering. Based on feedback from industry, a new MBA programme has been formulated with input re-quirement as first degree of BITS or its equivalent. The programme will endeavour to create manpower who have scientific and engineering approach to busi-ness administration. Students will also have a reason-able exposure to certain modern technologies. The programme is designed to have many flexibilities and will have a very strong component of industry project experience. The input for the programme may have multiple entry points. While principal input will be students already possessing an engineering degree, those who have other qualifications like B.Sc., B.A., B.Com. may also apply provided they have aptitude towards having training in science, mathematics and technology as well. The requirements of the pro-gramme will necessitate such students to spend addi-tional time which may vary from 1 to 4 semesters de-pending upon their qualifications. For students not having an engineering degree, the course requirement will be worked out, looking at the earlier training on a case-by-case basis at the time of admission. However, for the current year, admissions are planned for an in-put with engineering degree only in which case the normal duration is 4 semesters.
