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 :)

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?

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???

1) Ya

3) May be
4) Second or third iteration
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

@Suma : If you do that you will end up with a very high CGPA :)
Go for M.Sc. Eco followed by Physics or Maths or Chemistry and then Bio...but before that go for the engineering degrees of your choice..ya you can get a transfer from Civil to Mechanical based on your CGPA...

@240 : Only MPC guys are allowed into BITS...and dont worry about Bio or Eco...people have always enjoyed doing those courses...

As for your score I am not sure if you can get a dual @ BITS seeing last year cutoffs

sir,thankyou four yuor valuable comments....

I too had a dream of going into bits but i got seriously ill on the day and ended up with just 240, are there any chances of me getting there with msc.(hons.) and persuing a dual degree after first year.
Another thing that I wanted to ask was that I did 12th with pcm ,then also can I take economics or bio four msc. if I get a chance and would it be logical with me knowing nothing of the two...

@haryana guy : You are getting confused....read the post on difference between duals and transfers...the performance in first year means first 2 semesters...we have a continous evaluation means you have some tests or the other through out the semester

Go with your interest....If you dont have any specific interest in any degree go for Economics first followed by Physics
