BIT Birla Institute of Technology - Online Entrance Test for M.Sc. http://QuestionPaper.in/EntranceExam26-BIT.aspx BIT Birla Institute of Technology - Online Entrance Test for M.Sc. en-us About BIT - MET http://QuestionPaper.in/EntranceExam26-BIT.aspx#About-BIT-MET Eligibility http://QuestionPaper.in/EntranceExam26-BIT.aspx#Eligibility
  • 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:
    1. 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.
    2. 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:
    1. 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).
    2. 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.
