if we join one degree in regular and another one same academic year in distance , then these degrees are valued?

2. same year two degrees in distance in different universities. these degrees are valued?

"Some known dual degrees under other priorities in campus

* B.E. Mech + B.E. CompSci - Ex : The guy joined with Mech took CompSci as dual after first year with a CGPA around 9.5"

How much time does this dual take?

2010-06-04T19:56:45.829+05:30

I have a score of 295 in BITSAT 2010.
I know I won't get a core stream aa pilani.

* Can I get M.Sc in Chem, maths, phy at pilani? Preferably physics.
* How are the placements for the dual guys, does it depend on the "Dual" tag? Are they less preferred?
* And,
* Do we get two different degrees at the end of 5 years? So, like I need not show my M.Sc at while applying for an engineering job.?
* Are the degrees from BITS Pilani Recognised? Recognised in the sense for IAS, IES and other competetive exams?
* How difficult is it to get mech,eee,e and i, and cs with duals?

And, regarding the following extract from your blog,
"

* What is this dual degree transfer??

Ok I forgot there is another kind of transfer - Thanks to killer kiran I am editing this post :)

An M.Sc.(hons) guy can get a transfer to another M.Sc. (hons) degree after first year . This transfer is not directly based on your CGPA but on the engineering degree you obtain after first year.

Say I join with M.Sc.(hons) Biology and then based on my CGPA i get a dual in B.E. Computer Science . Then I can opt for a transfer to M.Sc.(hons) Mathematics

My final degree would be M.Sc.(hons) Mathematics with B.E. (hons) Computer Science

If you get a CompSci dual you can transfer easily to Mathematics and if you get EEE dual you can easily transfer to Physics

Transfer to Economics is based purely on CGPA...the one with higher CGPA among those who applied will get the transfer

What are the options in this regard for mechanical?

2010-05-17T23:03:05.371+05:30

Hi Arpana,
You will get duals. Giving BITSAT next year is a risk. Instead put half of that effort and you could end up with a Computer Science or a EEE dual :)

2009-10-05T10:50:58.000+05:30

1) The second semester cutoffs are high - tough luck to get duals
2) No - the cutoffs are high
3) Ya knid of - infact u have a better chance of getting a good dual as there is les competition
4) Advantages - you dont waste an year Disadvantages - Mostly nothing
5) It will complete in 4 years from jan that is u will passout in jan again :) Will explain the details in later post
6) Very few - only those seats which are not filled
7) They have better CGPA's :)
8) There is no risk if you are prepared to work hard and get a good dual
9) BITS does not have a fixed number of seats for any discipline - it so happens that some seats are not filled either due to lesser number of dual degree applicants or sometimes due to transfers or worst case people leaving BITS - so to fill up those instead of idiotically wasting the infrastructure and money BITS has this second sem admission system :)

2009-10-02T19:29:34.000+05:30

Dear sir,

I got 273 marks bitsat 2009. I did not opt for M.SC(Hons),MSC(Tech) in first semester counselling. I could not get admission into any engg disciplines in I semester. I heard there is a II semester admission in BITS. These are my queries :

1. Do the cutoff for second semester admissions will be different than that of I semester ?
2. For these marks, Can I get mech or EEE in any of the Pilani campuses ?
or can I get into any engg. disciplines in any of the campuses which I could not get in I semester admissions.
3. If I opt for a MSC(Hons), what will be the probability of getting into Mech Engg at the end of one year ? Does the CGPA cut-0ffs same for II semester admissions also ?
4. What are the advantages / disadvantages related to II semseter admissions.
5. At the end of 4 or 5 years, when the batch will come out i.e. in Jan or in June ? In case batch comes out in January are we not wasting another 6 months as all further studies start in June/Aug of a year ? or will the courses can be completed in 3.5 or 4.5 years for BE(Hons), MSC(Hons) respectively.
6. How many seats are likely to be there for II semester admissions ?
7. how the students passing out in II semester admissions fare visavis students admitted during I semester in all aspects?
8. As the no.of seats are limited is there is any risk for opting Dual degrees in II semester, as only few people may qualify for CSE,Mech or eCE branches ?
9. Why these II semester admissions are done ? Is it due to some persons leaving the institute during first semester ? How the vacancies /no.of seats in each branch are decided for II semester admissions?

My bitsat score is 259.i have been waitlisted by BITS. Meanwhile I have been admitted to PANDIT DEENDAYAL UPADHYAY PETROLEUM UNIVERSITY GANDHINAGAR AHMEDABAD for B Tech in Petroleum Technology.I consider this to be a growing field with assured placement in Oil cos.however I am bit worried about the reactions that Petro tech may not good for girls.I am likely to get M.Sc.Bio in BITS.

1)what would be a better choice?? VNIT or BITS,pilani??in general,is BITS better than all the NITs?
2)if the job prospects of a M.sc(hons) are better than a B.E(hons) then why are the cutoffs lower for a M.sc program than a B.E program???

3) May be

5) ya the cutoffs for duals in Pilani campus might come down as people will be more interested to join Engg @ Goa/Hyd

2009-06-08T14:48:59.120+05:30

hi
this is harsha, i dunno if this is the right place to post it or whether someones already asked this..i'd really appreciate a clarification
i didn't score too well in my bitsat...got a 272...last years cutoff showed that i could get msc eco or phy or math in goa..i have a few doubts
1)since my score is 272, firstly do i have a chance at all??
2)the cutoff that is put up is the closing cut off right??.is there any chance of this increasing??
3)there is a new course in pilani i think...manufacturing engg..can i assume that the cut offs will further reduce for the dual degree courses because of this?..if so by how much do you think it will??
4)for my score, in which iteration do you think i will get a call, if i do get a call that is?
5)is there any chance that the engg cut offs will remain the same but the dual decrease..especially in pilani and goa..because,firstly more seats in the iit..and since hyd is picking up!!??

2009-06-08T14:46:40.838+05:30

@Anonymous : You are totally confused...
You can get a transfer to only one degree at a time...so it simply means you cannot transfer from B.Pharm to a M.Sc.(hons) degree and hope for a dual...no that is not possible

You get a transfer to EEE,CompSci or Chemical directly

For that you need CGPA above 9.2

And you are very confused...read about dual degrees carefully before commenting again

And dont join B.Pharm hoping to get a transfer...very tuff

2009-06-08T14:32:11.110+05:30

sir... to convert b pharma to civil/msc(chem) or to cse with msc(physics or maths) or to eee with msc(physics or maths) how much nearabout cgpa is required in first year....
sorry to ask so many questions but I really need advise
