Attend online lectures over weekends

Lectures are conducted live via online classes. These lectures can be attended via the internet using a
computer from any location. These online classrooms offer similar levels of interactivity as regular
classrooms at the BITS Pilani campus.

Classes for students admitted during the period Oct 2022 - Jan 2023 will begin in Jan 2023. The class
schedule is announced within 1 week of completion of the admission process.

The online lectures are conducted usually over weekends for a total of 7-8 hours per week. If you miss a
lecture, you can also access the recorded lecture on the internet.

Digital learning
Learners can access engaging learning material at their own pace which includes recorded lectures from
BITS Pilani faculty members, course handouts and recorded lab content where applicable.

Experiential learning

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

Simulation Tools, Platforms & Environments: The programme makes use of simulation software, open source
tools/frameworks and Public Cloud based deployment environments for hands-on labs and assignments.

The material in this brochure is provided for educational and informational purposes. All the images that have been
