BITS Pilani, the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, was established back in 1964 and is located in Rajasthan, India. With 15 academic departments the university is known as the best private engineering institute of India. The university is also popular for providing quality education to its students. Apart from that, the college is known for its exciting campus life – be it inter-college competitions, sports activities or annual tech festivals.
The university has strong linkages with industry as can be seen by its off-campus Work Integrated Learning Program (WILP) which enrolled 19,000 students from corporate enterprises in 2009. Practical experience in the industry is in the curriculum as a „Practice School“ program, where students work with companies throughout India.
BITS Pilani is a key partner in international initiatives like the development of journal server open-access digital library and MIT iCampus initiative. In 2008 the institute also became a partner of German Academic Exchange Service (Deutscher Akademische Austauschdienst – DAAD) to start the Indo-German project “Lean & Green – Efficiency and Effectiveness in Production”
