Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani (BITS Pilani) is a deemed university in Pilani, Rajasthan, India.[12] It focuses primarily on higher education and research in engineering and sciences.[13] BITS Pilani is one of the first six institutes in India to be granted Institute of Eminence status.[14] According to 2012 data, BITS Pilani has an acceptance rate of 1.47%, making it one of the most exclusive technical universities in the world.[15][16]
The institute was established in its present form in 1964.[17] During this period, the institute's transformation from a regional engineering college to a national university was backed by G.D. Birla. The university has expanded its campuses from Pilani to Goa, Hyderabad and Dubai.[18] After expansion to a campus in Dubai, it has become the first international deemed university, spearheading research in science and engineering with four established campuses and fifteen academic departments. Backed by the Aditya Birla Group, the institute secures extramural research funds from industries and various government agencies.[19][20]
Admissions to on-campus programs are solely merit-based and assessed by the entrance examinations conducted by BITS.[21][22] Through its highly successful and widespread alumni network spanning globally across varied fields, BITS Pilani has made a significant impact on corporates, academia, research, entrepreneurship, arts and social activism.[23][24]
