IS THE
EDUCATION
DELIVERY
METHODOLOGY? ONLINE CLASSROOM
SESSIONS
Learners get an opportunity to interact with
expert faculty using interactive,
technology-enabled virtual classrooms. These
online classrooms offer similar levels of
interactivity as regular classrooms at the BITS
Pilani campus.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
The programme emphasises on Experiential
Learning that allows learners to apply concepts
learnt in classroom in simulated and real work
situations. This is achieved through:

DIGITAL LEARNING
Virtual & Remote Labs: The remote labs
provide you with remote access to hardware Learners can access engaging learning
and software tools that are used for designing material at their own pace which includes
and testing embedded systems on various
recorded lectures from BITS Pilani faculty
platforms such as MultiCore STM32,
Raspberry Pi, Ardunio, Xilinix FPGA members, course hand-outs and recorded lab
content where applicable.
Case Studies and Assignments: Carefully
chosen real-world cases & assignments are
both discussed and used as problem-solving
exercises during the programme.

Dissertation/ Project Work: The fourth

semester offers an opportunity for learners to
apply their knowledge gained during the
programme to a real-world like complex
project. The learner is expected to
demonstrate understanding of vital principles CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
learnt across semesters and their ability to
successfully apply these concepts. Continuous Assessment includes graded

Ever since it was declared as a Deemed to be
University in 1964, BITS Pilani has been offering
higher education programmes in science and
technology, and has earned an enviable
reputation for its innovations in this sphere.

The Work Integrated Learning Programmes

(WILP) of BITS Pilani constitutes a unique set of
educational offerings for working professionals. The WILP are rigorous higher education
These programmes, which BITS began to offer programmes in technology areas, designed
in 1979, have, over the years, evolved along the keeping the evolving needs of industry in view,
lines envisaged in the National Policy on and meant for working professionals in their

the education at the workplace, in order that the
greatest degree of work integration of the
education is achieved, and thus the WILP are
very distinct in philosophy and pedagogy from
open, distance learning programmes. Though it
is incorrect and improper, at times the WILP are
compared to ODL programmes. Accordingly, it
has been our constant endeavor to engage with
the regulator, and provide all necessary
information about these programmes.

The WILP have been well received, and

accepted by industry, because of the high
quality of the programmes in terms of the
curriculum and the instruction, and also
because of the high degree of work integration,
which results not only in up gradation of
knowledge, but also in up skilling, and
productivity increase.
