BIT conduts Online Entrance Test, BIT-MET, for shortlisting candidates for admission to its full-time M. Sc. programmes at Mesra, Jaipur, Kolkata, and Lalpur. All candidates who wish to apply for the M.Sc. programmes must appear for the online Test.
- Candidates must hold a Bachelor's Degree or equivalent
qualification of any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the
central or state legislatures in India or other educational
institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be
deemed as a University under section 3 of UGC Act, 1956, or possess an
equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government
of India/AIU. This degree must entail a minimum of three years of
education (10+2+3 system) after completing higher secondary schooling
(Class 12 or equivalent).
- Candidates of B.Sc. / B.A. Honours
must have minimum 55% marks in average (45% for SC/ST) in their Honours
subject. Candidates of other graduate courses must have minimum 55%
marks in average (45% for SC/ST) in graduation, marks to be computed as
average of marks obtained in ALL subjects in which candidate has
appeared (excluding optional subjects).
- Candidates with
qualifications acquired through correspondence or distance-learning
programmes are eligible only if they acquired such qualifications as
working professionals / while in employment.
- Candidates
appearing for final examinations of their Bachelor’s programme in 2009
can also apply, and if selected can join the programme provisionally.
At the time of the counselling they must bring:
- A
certificate in original from the Principal of their Institute
certifying that by 30 June 2009, they will have appeared for
examination in all subjects required for obtaining their Bachelor’s
degree.
- A certificate in original from the Principal of their
Institute certifying that they have obtained 55% marks or equivalent
(45% in case of SC/ST candidates) based on latest available grades /
marks.
Their admission
will be confirmed only when they submit the mark sheet and a
certificate of having passed the Bachelor's degree / equivalent
qualification with at least 55% marks (45% in case of SC/ ST). They
must submit proof of passing their final examinations with requisite
marks by 31 October 2009. Non-fulfillment of this condition will
automatically result in the cancellation of the provisional admission
Note:
- Candidates
with foreign diplomas should see the EdCIL website for equivalence
(http://www.edcil.co.in), and if required should obtain an equivalence
certificate well in advance from the evaluation division of the AIU
(website http://www.aiuweb.org).
- In case any Board / University
awards grades instead of marks, the calculation of equivalent marks
would be based on the procedure prescribed by the Board / University.
In case a University does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into
equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing
obtained CGPA with the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the
resultant with 100.
