The [Link]. graduates with an adequate background in Mathematics. The programme requires 27 courses
(including a project) and 105 credit units for completion.

A significant proportion of the students admitted to the [Link] (Software Systems & Engineering) programme
are likely to be graduates of [Link]. (Computer Science) or equivalent. In particular, the programme is likely to be
offered in the near future for recurring cohorts of graduates of
 [Link]. (Design & Computing), offered by BITS Pilani under WILP or
 [Link]. (Computer Science) offered by BITS Pilani under online mode

The two programmes mentioned above and other equivalent programmes not only meet the Mathematics
requirement for admission to [Link] (Software Systems & Engineering) but also include considerable overlap
with the latter - in terms of the overall course content. It is therefore proposed that graduates of [Link]. (Computer
Science) or equivalent are considered for admission to [Link]. (Software Systems & Engineering) under the
provisional policy of admission with advanced standing. It is further proposed that the policy of admission with
advance standing be administered through waiver of courses (and corresponding credits) for graduates of these
programmes.

 Four-semester [Link]. programmes

Input Qualification:
The students admitted to the proposed four-semester [Link]. programsmust
(i) hold an Integrated First Degree of BITS or its equivalent and
(ii)be employed professionals with adequate work experience in a relevant industry.
Curriculum Requirements for [Link]. programs
The nature of the input to these programs and the objectives / orientation of Work Integrated Learning Programs
are different from those of the on-campus programs. These programs may be offered across a broad spectrum
of (i) technical disciplines and specializations with as well as (ii) industry domains and cross-disciplinary
[Link] is also to be observed that learning and coursework in these programs are integrated within a
professional / technical environment.
Based on these facts and observations, the curriculum has been designed in such a way to broadly enable
different combinations of subjects at a higher degree level. In particular, the structure will enable Departments to
offer an [Link]. program in a broad discipline with or without specialization, or offer an [Link]. program in a
specialized area within a discipline or across multiple disciplines.
A. Completion of the program would require:
i. At least 12 courses (totaling at least 48 units) towards coursework nominally spread over three
semesters and
ii. Dissertation (16 units) in one semester, that is usually the final semester.
B. The Department(s) offering a specific program must then categorize the coursework requirement as
follows:
i. Core: 8 courses / 30 units (max.)
ii. Specialization (if applicable):
a. 3 courses / 12 units (min.) to 6 courses / 30 units (max.)
b. Some Specialization courses may be mandatory and some may be electives.
iii. Total of Core and Specialization courses may not exceed 10 courses (and 45 units).
iv. Rest of the coursework requirement may be obtained via general electives within the discipline
but not necessarily within the specialization.
v. At most 3 courses out of the total of 12 taken by a student may be at the 4 th level – the rest
must be higher degree courses (i.e. specifically, 5th or 6th level).

 Eight-semester Integrated [Link]. programme

Curriculum Structure for an Integrated [Link]. programme:

The curriculum structure and requirements of the eight-semester Integrated [Link]. programme will include the
requirements of the corresponding Integrated First Degree programme and four-semester [Link]. programme,
with the following provisions:
1. The electives requirement of the Integrated First Degree programme will be subsumed by the coursework
requirement of the Integrated [Link]. programme, and
2. The Project Work requirement of the Integrated First Degree programme, will be subsumed by the
Dissertation requirement of the Integrated [Link]. programme.
Given these provisions, the following requirements for the curriculum are proposed:

# At least eight of these courses must be Higher Degree courses (i.e. specifically, 5 th or 6th level)
Specializations (if applicable)
The Department(s) offering specializations within a specific Integrated [Link]. programme should ensure that
the following requirements are met:
1. Specialization (if applicable):
a. 3 courses / 12 units (min.) to 6 courses / 30 units (max.)
b. Some specialization courses may be mandatory and some may be electives.
2. Rest of the elective requirements may be obtained through general electives within the discipline, but not
necessarily within the specialization.

 MBA programmes
Input Qualification:
The students admitted to the proposed four-semester MBA programsmust:
(i) hold an Integrated First Degree of BITS or its equivalent and
(ii)be employed professionals with adequate work experience in relevant domains.
Curriculum Requirements for MBA programs
The nature of the input to these programs and the objectives / orientation of Work Integrated Learning Programs
are different from those of the on-campus programs. Students interested in these programs are seeking
continuing higher management education and focus in the chosen technical domain of study, which would
enable their career progression within their industry. It is also to be observed that learning and coursework in
these programs are integrated within a professional / technical environment.
Based on these facts and observations the curriculum has been designed to be in strong alignment with on-
campus program at the core but with sufficient flexibility for customization to meet specific requirements of a
target student population.
Completion of the program would require:
(i) At least 13 courses (totaling at least 52 units) towards coursework, and
(ii) Project (8-12 units).
In order to provide more opportunities for Electives in all MBA programmes, change in the range of number of
Domain Core courses from 4-6 to 3-6 and corresponding change in the range of number of Discipline Electives
from 1-3 to 2-3.

In order to provide more flexibility for Electives, it is also proposed to offer discipline electives under two pools,
namely, pool of Domain Electives and pool of General Management Electives. The Domain Electives are
specific to each MBA Programme and the General Management Electives are common to all MBA programmes.
Students can choose all 3 Electives from the pool of Domain Electives (or) choose 2 Electives form the pool of
Domain Electives and 1 Elective from the pool of General Management Electives.
