 Mode of Learning
The Mode of Learning used in this programme is called - Work Integrated
Learning. Internationally, Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is defined as "An
educational approach involving three parties - the student, educational
institution, and employer organisation(s) - consisting of authentic work-focused
experiences as an intentional component of the curriculum. Students learn
through active engagement in purposeful work tasks, which enable the
integration of theory with meaningful practice that is relevant to the students'
discipline of study and/or professional development*.

An education model can be considered as WIL if and only if:

1. The programmes are designed and developed by the institute in
collaboration with industry.
2. Work-focused experiences form an active part of the curriculum.
3. The programme structure, pedagogy and assessment enable integration of
theory-with relevant practice.

The innovative Work Integrated Learning Programs (WILP) of BITS Pilani are
quite aligned with the above definition and requirements. The programs are
designed in collaboration with its industry partners, subject matter experts from
industry and academia that enable the students to remain relevant in their
chosen profession, grow in their career and retain the habit of lifelong learning.
The continued availability of workplace related experiences along with the
weekly instruction sessions promote integration of theory with practice. An
active participation of the organization mentor in the learning process of the
student plays a key role. Case studies, simulation exercises, labs and projects
further strengthen this integration.

The WILP of BITS Pilani is comparable to its campus-based programs in terms

of structure, rigor, instruction, labs, assessment, faculty profile and learning
support. The pervasive adoption of technology in all its academic processes
makes the same high-quality education of BITS Pilani available to the aspirants
at scale with the required flexibility.
