a) Admission Criteria
b) Admission Procedure
12
BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
Selection process for all its B.E. (Hons.) programmes is carried out separately for the
GCC and Non-GCC candidates. Students residing in any Gulf country or have their
parents working in the Gulf are treated as GCC candidates. The rest are treated as
Non-GCC candidates.
A merit list is prepared for the candidates in each of the above category based on
their aggregate percentage of marks in the Qualifying Examination and not based on
any entrance test.
Based on the merit list, availability of seats and the candidate’s preferences,
candidates are allotted seats in each program. If a candidate is not allotted his first
preference due to non-availability of seats, his/hers second and subsequent
preferences are considered. If the candidate does not indicate more than one
preference or gives only a limited number of preferences, he/she stands to loose
admission in a programme even though seats are available and he/she has the
merit. Hence, all candidates are advised to exercise their preferences with care.
Candidates who are selected for admission will receive the Admission Offer Letter.
To accept the offer of admission, candidate must comply with all the requirements
specified in the Admission Offer Letter including submission of various documents
and payment of fee by the stipulated date mentioned in the Admission Offer Letter.
On compliance of the above, the candidate will receive intimation from the Institute
regarding further course of action to be taken by him/her for joining the Institute.
Until all admissions are finalized, all applicants will be considered to be on waiting
list for the programmes of their higher preferences if they have not been already
allotted the same. If any candidate, who is offered admission, fails to comply with all
the admission requirements, thus forfeiting his/her offer of admission, this seat will
be filled up by the candidate who is next on the merit list/waiting list.
The candidates must strictly adhere to the deadlines indicated for admission.
All the documents submitted by the candidates will be verified with the originals
submitted by the candidates after commencement of the program. In case of non-
compliance of the admission criteria, the admission of the candidate will
automatically stand cancelled.
The Institute reserves the right to refuse admission to any candidate. In all the
above matters of admission and allotment of program, the decision of the Institute
shall be final. The jurisdiction in respect of all legal matters in this connection shall
be at Dubai.
Annexure 2 indicates country wise equivalences (of GCC, Middle-east and some
other countries) recognized by the BPD as admission eligibility for the Qualifying
Examination. For an exhaustive list of equivalences one can consult the Admissions
Department of BPD. With regard to any clarification on Qualifying Examination
13
BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
The Institute welcomes students of all nationalities. Since there is a vast difference
in the grading system and syllabus of various international examinations, all such
applications are examined on a case-by-case basis.
Students having such qualifications must adopt the following method to compute the
aggregate:
i) If actual marks are given in the transcript, these marks are to be taken
for computing the aggregate.
ii) If actual marks as well as the grades are given in the transcript, actual
marks are to be taken for computing the aggregate.
iii) If grades and range of marks for each grade are given in the
transcript, mean of the range of marks is to be taken for computing
the aggregate.
iv) If grades are given only in the transcript, the student should obtain
equivalent marks/range of marks for the grades from appropriate
authority and calculate the aggregate marks.
v) If the evaluation is done by any other method, the student must
explain the evaluation system and must obtain equivalent marks/range
of marks for such evaluation from appropriate authority and calculate
the aggregate marks.
All courses/subjects that are required for passing the qualifying examination should
be included for calculating the aggregate.
14
BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
The courses the candidate has already done before entering the Institute cannot be
repeated and also, that the time spent at other credible institute is not wasted.
Any candidate who is for advance standing admission is asked to come and explore
a workable programme that would be appropriate to him/her before admission is
completed. If required, the candidate may have to take certain examinations in
various subjects that he/she has completed before a prescribed programme is
pronounced for him/her there onwards.
Students seeking admission as per either Sub-section (c) vide page14 or Sub-section
(d) vide page 15 are to note that the following minimum requirements should be
adhered to while seeking transfer into BPD. In order that their success in the First

BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
While an engineering qualification can be critically important, it is not the only factor
that employers and head-hunters take into account. They are looking for people
with more than just a formal qualification. They want to recruit engineers with a
drive, innovative ideas, vision, effective communication, confidence and maturity. At
BPD efforts are taken to give an overall development to the student and the
Institute is conscious of the fact that a top quality engineering programme should
provide significant career support.
In keeping with the BITS tradition and recognizing the importance of career services
as an integral part of an engineering institution, Campus Placement Programmes are
organized for the graduating students. Placement Brochures providing information
about the institution and its academic programmes along with the profiles of the
graduating students are distributed to the heads of reputed organizations in UAE
inviting them for the program. The response received from the companies was
overwhelming for the past Placement Programmes.
q. Health Services
All students are required to obtain medical insurance. The Institution has negotiated
suitably with reputed insurance agencies (such as Oman Insurance) to make the
cost affordable for the students. The students will be registered for the semester
only upon production of Health Insurance Card. Details of the same can be checked
from Administration Department/Dean Student Welfare.
To provide necessary medical services, BPD has a reputed medical clinic (Prime
Medical Centre) on the ground floor of the academic block with one doctor and a
paramedic on duty. The doctor is available from 3 pm to 5 pm on Saturdays,
Mondays & Thursdays and the paramedic is available on the campus round-the-
clock.
Two vehicles are provided for transport to the hospital in case of emergency.

2. The maximum period is four years.
26
BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
The academic pedagogy adopted is a semester system with continuous and internal
evaluation. The academic year is divided into two semesters, and a summer term,
whenever offered. The student registers for a certain number of courses each
semester. A faculty member, as Registration Advisor, helps the student to draw up
his/her semester program, suitable to his/her pace and needs.
All the programmes are designed to allow as many components of science and
applied science as are necessary for the students of the programmes to function
effectively and efficiently in a technological society. All programmes contain certain
structural commonality and the common courses are invariably operated together,
irrespective of the students who are required to take the courses.
The academic year normally consist of two 16-week semesters inclusive of time
fixed for orientation, registration, and examinations. A summer session of eight
weeks may be offered whenever needed. In each semester, classes begin with
the first instructional period of the first day.
1. Normally, the first semester begins in the first week of September of
each year.
2. Normally, the second semester begins in the first week of February of
each year.
3. The Dean Instructions will announce the academic calendar for the
next academic year shortly before the final exam of the second
semester.
4. All Islamic and national holidays in the United Arab Emirates are
declared official holidays.
27
BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
All Programmes of study are based on the principle that a series of courses
make up the hierarchy of the structure, where each course is self-contained,
but nevertheless acts as a bridge between what precedes and what comes
after. The contact hours are designed to awaken curiosity in the mind of a
student and to train him/her to think rationally and scientifically and enable him
to face the unfamiliar.
Every student gets, incidentally, training in decision making through (i) choice
of number of courses per semester, and (ii) picking up courses as electives to
meet his own aspirations. It is the responsibility of the student to attend
classes regularly and to maintain a required level of scholastic standing.
The Practice School (PS) courses are a controlled simulation of real life
where the student relates and applies his classroom knowledge and skills
to real life situations faced by industry. Practice School is a part of the
total programme and takes the classroom, for a period of total seven and
half months, to a professional location where the students and faculty get
exposed to in real life situations. PS institutionalizes needed bridge
between the professional world and the educational world. The course
requires the student to undergo the rigor of professional world in form as
well as in substance, providing an opportunity to apply classroom
knowledge to real life situations.
The PS for the first degree has two components, namely Practice School I
(PS-I) which, is exposure oriented and is of two months duration
implemented during the summer following the second year, and Practice
School II (PS-II), which is project based and of five and half months
duration implemented during either of the semester of the final year.
During PS-I, the students are first initiated and then oriented to
professional activity in terms of assignments. PS-I offers opportunities for
detailed understanding of vast engineering operations as well.
28
BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
PS course is in operation in BPD right since its inception. The faith of the
firms was adequately re-paid by the performance of the students and as a
result the number of Companies offering PS I and PS II stations to BPD
has grown considerably over the last two years. There are 349 reputed
companies in the U.A.E, who have so far offered Practice School to our
students. Refer to Annexure 7 for more details.
It may be noted that The Practice School (PS) option is not being offered
to Higher Degree & M.Sc. (Tech.) students at BPD since these
programmes are mainly aimed for working professionals within UAE.
Students who wish to understand the basics of research and who wish to
study further for degrees leading to Ph.D. Qualifications in their areas of
interest opt for Thesis-Seminar (TS) in lieu of PS.
29
BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
All the students in the beginning of every semester register for courses. Each
course has a prescribed credit specified in terms of Units. A student is required
to register specific number of units and courses. Every student should register
for the prescribed courses to successfully complete minimum requirements to
be eligible for the award of degree.
Every student is provided with Catalog which contains course titles and
descriptions. A LEGEND that appears at the end o each course like “3 0 3” or
“2 3 3” indicates the no. of lecture hours per week (L); the no. of practical /
seminar / project hours per week (P); and the number of units (U) for the
course. Wherever a single number appears, it indicates total units and its
breakup in terms of lectures; and practical / seminar / project may be
announced from time to time through the timetable, whenever it is needed.

All academic work and materials submitted for assessment must be the
work of the student carried out by him/her. Unfair means is not limited to
copying from others' work and giving unauthorized assistance, but it also
includes the use of devices or procedures for the purpose of achieving
false scores in examinations. Students are prohibited from submitting any
material prepared by or purchased from another person or company.
Students are expected to take examinations seriously and act responsibly.
If the student violates the rules of the exam(notified suitably by the
Instruction Division on Institute notice boards, announcements in
examination hall. etc ., and also on the hall-ticket for comprehensive
examinations) it will result in penalty , as applicable, ranging from
awarding RC, suspension of such student from the instate for one full
semester, to expulsion from the BPD.

* Exposed indicates that a student has just been exposed to the course but not
met the evaluation norms to consider him/her having cleared the course.
Hence, he/she has to re-register for the course, attend the classes, and obtain
a valid grade “D” or above.
The letter grades obtained by the student in each course are used to
arrive at Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), which reflects
student’s overall performance at the end of every semester (as well at
the end programme of study). Refer Annexure 6 for details and example
calculation of CGPA.
Apart from letter grades described above, the following reports are
possible. The meaning of each is explained in the Table 2 below.

C. General
This Committee will also draw, from time to time, a list of courses from the
Higher Degree programmes from which the students of the Integrated First
Degrees can offer the courses as their electives.
(ii) The Dissertation, whether registered for full or partial units, will be awarded
a non-letter grade, viz., Excellent, Good, Fair or Poor, at the end of the
corresponding semester.
(iii) A first degree student can choose up to a maximum of two higher degree
courses as electives for his/her first degree from the pool of general/special
courses of the corresponding higher degree. When such a student seeks
admission to any of the Higher Degree Programme of the institute, the student
may be given exemption from these courses; however, the student has to
complete the total unit requirement of the higher degree. The minimum units
in dissertation for such a candidate will be increased by the same number of
units as exempted from the course work so as to earn the minimum prescribed
total units. In such a case, the exempted courses will also form part of the
Ph.D. Qualifying Examination when the student appears for the same. HDDC is
also empowered to replace the course cleared in first degree by a course form
the pool of electives of higher degree on a case by case basis, as an alternative
to increasing the dissertation units.

COURSE HANDOUT
FORMATS
111
BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
Each course will have a Course Handout, which will describe all the operational details of
the Course. This will be in two parts as described below:
Part I is a format indicating the general operational details applicable to all courses. The
Part I of the handout must be distributed to the faculty and the students along with
Time Table at the beginning of each semester.
Part II is a format indicating the specific details for a particular course in terms of
lecture-wise plan, reference material, evaluation schedule, etc. Part II of the handout
must be distributed to the students during the first week of class work by the respective
course instructors.
The formats for Part I and Part II of the course handout (including teaching plan) can be
found in the following pages.
******
1. Text book:
In the timetable, refer to the section titled “Text Books for” containing a list of details
of prescribed text book(s) approved for the course, and also in the course handout
(Part II)
2. Attendance:
Every student is expected to be regular in attendance in all classes, laboratories,
tests, quizzes, seminars etc. and in fulfilling all tasks assigned to him. Attendance is
recorded by the respective instructor in every class conducted by him/her
3. Home Assignment:
Every student must submit all home work promptly and properly. (For details see part
II).
112
BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
4. Reading Assignment:
Every student must complete his/her reading assignment and come prepared to the
class. (For details see part II).
5. Evaluation:
(a) Components of evaluation for each course will be selected from out of tests,
quizzes, home assignments, lab work, viva- voce, project reports, term papers,
seminars, comprehensive examination etc. The specific components with the
related weightage for a particular course will be spelt out in part II.
(b) There will normally be two tests, and other components such as., Quizzes/
Seminar/Assignments and Group discussions for a classroom oriented course
besides the final / comprehensive examination. Every evaluation scheme will
include open book component with at least 15-20 percent weightage.
(c) Normally, the duration of each test will be 50 minutes, quizzes 15-20 minutes.
Comprehensive examination will carry a weightage of 25% to 40% and will be
normally of 3 hours duration.
(d) For dates of tests/quizzes and comprehensive examination refer to the
Timetable, and course handout (Part II).
6. Make up:
Make-up for any TEST Component will be given only for genuine cases of absence.
The decision of the make-up committee is final on deciding about the genuineness. Prior
permission of the Instructor-in-charge, before the examination, is necessary, if the
absence is anticipated. Students will be eligible to avail only one makeup for any one
of the TESTS from all the courses of a semester. Make-ups will not be given to any other
evaluation component other than Test-I and Test-II. Normally make-ups will be arranged
in about a week from the date of regular examination.
The students are advised to go through the answering scheme and marking scheme put
up by the course faculty, immediately after every evaluation component.
8. Discussion of Performance:
At the time of or before the distribution of marked answer books, performance vis-a-vis
the expected correct answers will be discussed. The highest, lowest, and average marks
will also be announced simultaneously.
9. Mid-semester Grading:
113
BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
Students should verify their pre-comprehensive total of marks from their respective
instructors before the Comprehensive Examination.
The total marks of all students in the course will be tabulated in a descending order
(equivalently a histogram). The performance of the class will be analyzed in terms of
average, highest and lowest marks and dividing lines between various clusters. Gaps
between clusters and the nature of clusters will guide drawing the dividing lines between
various grades. In a class of reasonably large size, the C-band will usually include the
average mark. This is not a hard and fast rule, and exceptions may arise in cases of
small classes or skewed histogram etc. Borderline cases will be decided on a case-by-
case basis keeping in view the consistency of performance, progressive improvement,
exceptionally good performance in final / Comprehensive Examination, regularity of
attendance and class participation. If a student gives the instructor inadequate
opportunity to evaluate him/her by absenting himself/herself from various components
of evaluation, he will get NC report. The students who get E or NC report in a course will
have to repeat the course. All students should clear all the courses of first four
semesters without even a single NC report for being eligible to be permitted to do
Practice School-I and later Compulsory Disciplinary Courses (CDCs) of III year.
Each instructor will specify his chamber consultation hours for each course separately
during which the registered student of the course can contact instructor in his/her
chamber for consultation. (For details see part II).

E* Exposed 2
After tabulation of the marks secured by the students in all the evaluation components
of a course, the performance of each student is graded relatively to that of all others,
who have registered for the same course in the given semester, by plotting a histogram
of the marks secured versus the number of students. A representative histogram is
shown in Figure 3 within this annexure. The specific grade cut-offs for each of the
Grades A, B, C, D, E of a course is arrived at by the instructor(s) concerned after a
detailed examination of the profile of the histogram (or descending-order list), in
particular the gaps and dips between clusters of points (students). The process is as
detailed below.
First the clusters corresponding to A to E which separate out the excellent students and
those who are judged as merely exposed to the course are identified. The remaining
grades are then identified in the context of overall class average and histogram profile.
In a large normal class, the average will lie somewhere in the C band. However, there is
no hard and fast rule that it must be so. For a class of good quality students, the
average could as well lie in the band of B Grade.
A Histogram such as the one as shown in the Figure.2 (on page 124) is employed as
already explained to arrive at specific grade cut-offs.
Once the dividing lines between various grades have been drawn, on the histogram,
these are converted as in table 6 giving the range of marks corresponding to each grade,
such as the one shown below for the representative histogram shown in Figure.3.
119
BITS, Pilani - Dubai Catalog 2010-11
The suggestion of the instructor(s) such as above for the grade cut-offs is scrutinized by
the Examination committee in light of the course file submitted by the instructors.
The course file contains all details as how the instructor handled the course namely:
• course handout
• attendance record
• question paper with answer keys of all the components;
• make up question papers, if any (with make up requests by the students)
• all the notices (communicated to the students)
• answer papers (lowest marks / highest marks / average) of all the components
• marks list and related documents of all the components
• Any other document related to the course.

Unusual methods of evaluation have been evolved in the Practice School courses to
take account of certain traits, which do not surface in a classroom education, like
professional judgment, decision-making ability, interdisciplinary approach, initiative,
leadership, and sense of responsibility.
Computation of the Cumulative Grade Point Average
A student is deemed to have cleared a course, if he/she obtains any grade (other than
NC) in the course.
The overall performance of a student is indicated by an index known as the “Cumulative
Grade Point Average” (CGPA). The Cumulative Grade Point Average will be used to
describe the overall performance of a student in all courses in which he / she is
awarded letter grades, since his / her entry into the Institute through the latest
semester as per the grading procedure. It is the weighted average of the grade points
of all letter grades received by the student from his / her entry into the Institute and is
computed as follows:
u 1g 1 + u 2 g 2 + u 3 g 3 + ............. + u n g n
CGPA =
u 1 + u 2 + u 3 + ............. + u n
Where u1 ,u2 , u3 , ………. , un denotes units associated with the courses taken by the
student and g1, g2, g3,….,gn denote points of the letter grades awarded in the
respective courses. It is expressed on a 10-point scale.
Students who fail to meet the minimum academic requirements (CGPA = 4.5 or 5.0, as
applicable) stipulated above are put under a Academic Counselling Board (ACB), which
monitors their programme and gives guidance, so that they are properly rehabilitated at
the earliest. This Committee is given authority to take appropriate action including
discontinuance of the programme by the student or transfer to other program.

student half way through the duration of PS. More details regarding evaluation
components are attached in the enclosure-1.
About PS-1
PS – I is a five unit course. PS-I commence with an initial exposure of students to
industry environment through gap lectures (by the resource of the PS Station) and field
visits (organized in consultation with Dean (Practice School, Career Counselling and
Placement) at the Industry). Further they are oriented to professional activity by
organizing Quizzes, Assignments, Group Discussions and so on. Students who opt for
PS carry out PS-I during summer at the end of II year.
PS - I offer opportunities for detailed understanding of vast engineering operations as
well as introduction to the theme of industrial infrastructure and development defined in
terms of problems such as inventory, productivity, management, industrial relations,
information system, wage administration etc.
About PS –II
The student education in PS – II is in terms of his involvement in the problem - solving
efforts of direct interest to the host organizations. PS II is a 20 unit course. Every
student who has opted for PS carries out PS-II either during the “a part of summer plus
first semester” or in the second semester of the Final Year. For this purpose the
students of a IV Year of a discipline are divided into batches (each normally having
50% of the total student strength) – so as to facilitate batch I students to carry out PS-
II during first half of IV academic year of study while the second batch of students
carry out during the second half of the academic year
In PS-II also with the help of the Dean (Practice School, Career Counselling and
Placement) and the resource persons of the PS Station gap lectures, field visits are
arranged to expose the student to have an in-depth understanding of typical technical
project of the industry and enable him to identify a good technical problem on which
he/she can work upon during PS II. The technical problems / issues for carrying out PS
II projects are identified in consultation with Coordinator of the Practice School (PS)
Station, PS Faculty, PS Mentor (faculty from the Institute) and the resource persons of
the industry.
Students are required to defend the technical credibility of the work carried out as part
of PS II Project from time to time through written as well as oral presentations namely:
Quizzes, Group Discussions, Seminars, Project Reports, Viva-voce and so on. All along
the course a strong attempt is made to emphasize the importance of teamwork, the
need for leadership qualities, and the need to fulfil the objectives of the PS II project
within a time schedule.
Role of Institute faculty as ”PS Faculty” and “PS Mentor”
To ensure that the students acquire a good quality and standard of learning as is
required and expected of at the first degree level, the Practice School Course is closely
129
BITS, Pilani – Dubai Catalog
supervised and monitored by two faculty of BPD per student. They are designated as a
“PS Faculty” and a “PS Mentor”.
Through a day to day supervision, the PS Faculty ensures a thorough supervision of the
student so that: the student adheres to the concerned PS Station’s (industry’s) working
regulations in attending to conduct the activities at the industry like any other employee
over there. In addition PS faculty ensures to coordinate with industry personnel to
arrange required site visits or gap lectures to enable student’s learning process and
working at the PS Station. PS faculty stays in constant touch with industry personnel
and PS Mentor (the Institute faculty who has been assigned so) ensures their
involvement in timely conduction of evaluation components. The PS Faculty maintains a
separate register that contains a complete record of day to day operations and
proforma in which periodic reports about the student’s progress are provided to the
Institute. The details maintained in the PS Register include: a ready reckoned,
fortnightly reports, details of gap lectures arranged, details of assignments/projects
given to PS student at the PS Station and the progress of the same, details of filed trips,
make-ups for evaluation components offered and so on.
The Institute faculty assigned as PS Mentor is a subject expert in the specific discipline
in which student is pursuing his first degree. Thus the faculty assigned as “PS Mentor”
has the obligation to live up to the expectation of student in offering required subject
guidance to carry out professional studies / projects as assigned to the student with the
concurrence of the Coordinator of the PS Station (industry). PS Mentor is held
responsible for the quality of learning professional skills a PS student is expected to
acquire during his / her industry internship.
Feedback on Practice School
In view of the important and significant role the Practice School plays in shaping young
graduates as “Engineering Professionals”, each and every operation of the PS Course is
closely monitored by the Institute by obtaining a very detailed feedback from all
concerned namely: every PS student, PS Faculty, PS Mentor as well as from PS Station
and its CEO.
The Feedback is obtained on various aspects common to PS-I and PS-II such as:
PS Allotment; Registration; Transportation; Expenditure; PS Course Schedule; PS
assignment; Facilities at PS Station; Inter-personal relations; Involvement of PS Faculty
and professional expert at the industry; Student’s involvement; conduction of evaluation
and feedback provided for the student to improve; certain other operational issues; and
overall impressions on various aspects;
In addition to the above, the Feedback on PSII is focused further on following aspects:
PS Project Assignment; facilities at PS Station; PS training received; PS experience and
visualization of professional life
130
BITS, Pilani – Dubai Catalog
Growth in PS Stations
PS Courses is in operation in BPD right from its inception. The faith of the firms was
adequately re-paid by the performance of the students and as a result the number of
Companies offering PS I and II stations to BPD has grown over the past years, as
shown in the graph attached in enclosure-2 vis-à-vis the number of students opted for
PS.
Currently we have nearly 371 companies in the U.A.E, who have so far offered Practice
School to our students and the number of companies requesting for PS students is on a
high rise.
Stipends paid during PS
Nearly all the PS - II students of BITS, Pilani - Dubai are being paid monthly stipend by
the industries during their five and a half month internship. Also PS-I students (during
their 2 month internship) are paid monthly stipend by majority of industries.
Placement Offers
Several students receive placement offers from the PS Station in which he/she carried
out the PS. Of late, some students are not able to accept them as either they were
interested to go for higher studies or that they receive better offers from other
employers.

This is an unstructured open-ended course where under the overall supervision of an
instructor-in-charge, batches of students will be attached to different instructors. Each
batch will work on a specific time-bound project which is of basic or peripheral concern
of his discipline. Each student must submit a project report as a culmination of his
endeavour and investigation. The instructor-in-charge will determine the choice of the
project and also whether or not the project report is to be submitted jointly by a group
or individually by a student. The course will aim to evaluate student’s interaction with
the instructors and instructor-in-charge may assign specific hours for formal brain-
storming sessions.
