  • Birla Institute of Technology and Science, (also referred to as BITS Pilani) is a private university located in Pilani, Rajasthan, India. BITS Pilani consists of 15 academic departments with a focus on education in engineering and the sciences. The institute was established in its present form in 1964 with a vision to realize Jawaharlal Nehru’s project of nation-building with its emphasis on "science, technology and modernization" . At that time, its transformation from a regional engineering college to a national university was backed by the Ford Foundation and G.D. Birla. MIT provided the technical assistance that was required for this transformation. The institute has developed and administers the all-India computerized entrance test BITSAT (BITS Admission Test), which is the first of its kind in India. Acceptance rate in BITS is very low, less than 2.08% in 2007, making it one of the most selective universities in India. The admission is on the basis of merit (as assessed by the BITSAT Examination) and not through any kind of reservation. The institute is privately supported and fully residential. The institute has strong linkages with industry, as can be seen by its off-campus Work Integrated Learning Program(WILP) which enrolled 19,000 students from corporate enterprises in 2009. Practical experience in the industry is in the curriculum as a "Practice School" program, where students work with companies throughout India. BITS has campuses in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Goa, India, Hyderabad, India and an extension center in Bangalore, India. Although the campuses are autonomous for the most part, the right to grant degrees rests with the main campus. It is the first Indian institution to set up a campus outside India.
  • Birla Institute of Technology and Science, förkortat BITS, är en teknisk högskola i Indien. Skolan har sitt säte i Pilani, men har också campus i Hyderabad, Goa, Dubai och Bangalore. Den grundades 1929 av G.D. Birla.
