BITS Vision for leaders of change

Our mission is to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century. The Institute is committed to generating, disseminating, and preserving knowledge, and to working with others to bring this knowledge to bear on the world's great challenges. BITS is dedicated to providing its students with an education that combines rigorous academic study and the excitement of discovery with the support and intellectual stimulation of a diverse campus community. We seek to develop in each member of the BITS community the ability and passion to work wisely, creatively, and effectively for the betterment of humankind.

The pursuit of excellence requires a transparent and honest approach. At BITS Pilani, we have always believed this to be true and are one of the few top institutes in India to favour a ‘Merit Only’ based admission policy.

To ensure complete transparency in student intake in the undergraduate courses we have instituted BITSAT, a fully online exam. BITSAT tests students on their aptitude for Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. BITSAT also has a section on English and Logical reasoning, thus becoming a complete analysis of a candidate’s intelligence and capability.

Director’s Message:

The youngest of the four physical campuses of BITS Pilani, the Hyderabad campus began functioning on 29th August 2008.

Fully residential, with over 5500 students, and 500 faculty and staff members, the picturesque campus is housed in 200 acres of rugged, rocky terrain characteristic of the region. It is equipped with state of the art infrastructure required for instruction, research, and extra-curricular activities.

The 12 Departments and the Divisions that provide necessary academic and administrative support, continue with the long standing commitment of BITS Pilani to providing the best of academic curricula, instruction, immersive industry exposure through the Practice School, and nurturing environment necessary to create well-rounded graduates who are among the best in the country, and globally. The faculty members are deeply committed also to growing our ability to pursue path breaking research, fundamental and applied, so necessary to sustain and grow such an environment. We are equally committed to sustaining and growing our engagement with industry.

The second phase of development having been completed, we now have the best infrastructure, in terms of buildings and laboratories to support academic and extra-curricular activities of students at par with any premier engineering and science institutes in India. Together with faculty members of outstanding quality that we have, and will continue to recruit and retain, we are confident that we are fully prepared to provide highest quality student experience, and deliver student outcomes that are second to none. I will be happy to receive any suggestions or feedback.

ENERGY CONSERVATION
  • In campus total 949.12 KWp of on grid rooftop solar power plants installed and commissioned to use renewable energy in the campus & it is planned to commission about 45 KWp rooftop solar power plants by end of December month in this year.
  • Total 26 Nos. standalone solar powered street lights are installed in the campus, which is estimated to save around 9, 90 kW of electricity annually.
  • Around 80 Nos. of the street lights out of 495 in the campus are connected to off-grid solar power plants of 18.5 kW per day. These street lights work on solar power for about eight to ten hours every night, which is estimated to save around 6,753 kW of electricity annually. After exhausting the solar power, these street lights function on conventional power.
  • Since 2014, hostels, residential quarters, academic and administrative blocks constructed as part of the infrastructure expansion by Project Parivartan, replace all CFL, Metal Halide, Fluorescent tube lights with LED fixtures to reduce consumption of energy.
  • Similarly existing CFL, tube lights and other electrical fixtures are being replaced with energy saving LED fixtures in a phased manner.
  • On campus 28 nos. (Each carries 2 nos. of four wheelers) of car parking stands having standalone solar powered lights, able to park 56 nos. of four wheelers.
  • On campus all the newly renovated hostel’s toilet lights & exhaust fans are controlled with motion sensors to save electricity.
  • On campus all street lights (Total No.495) fixtures are LED type.
  • In campus all street lights (Total 495 Nos.) on/off with LDR, as per sun light intensity availability. No need to change time as seasons change.
WATER CONSERVATION
  • There are 6 groundwater recharge points available and additional 6 recharge points are proposed and shall be completed by December 2019 to increase the ground water table in the vicinity to enhance the output from bore wells.
  • All overhead tanks and water coolers are fitted with floats, sensors and other mechanisms to shut the water supply and avoid overflow.
  • Providing pressmatic taps with water aerators to minimise wastage of water
  • All the water storage tanks are monitored regularly to ensure that there is no wastage of water due to overflow.
TRANSPORTATION
  • Bi cycle is allowed as means of internal transport within the Campus and limited usage of Vehicles is used at large to minimise air pollution for the total 4500+ students residing in the campus.
RECYCLING
  • Sewage treatment plant of 450 KLD capacity working on ASP system and New 600KLD capacity MBBR system are functioning to treat the wastewater generated in the Campus.
  • In the recently completed hostels and residential quarters, the STP treated water is supplied to flush tanks of EWC through a dedicated supply network.
  • Treated water is used for around 25000 sqm of land scape area and used for flushing purposes in New Academic block, Faculty housing towers 1, 5 & 6.
  • Proposed to use treats for flushing purposes in all Old hostels.
  • The sludge generated at STP is transferred to a drying bed in the vicinity of STP which is used as manure after drying.
  • Adequate Trash Bins were provided across the campus to control the littering of the waste material
  • Separate Waste management yard is in operation to segregate Domestic dry waste and wet waste. Dry wastes sent by vendors for recycling and wet waste is vermicomposting and used for garden manure.
  • Food waste is fed in a bio-gas plant and converted into gas and used for mess 1 Kitchen for cooking purposes and by this we are able to convert one ton of waste on a daily basis.
  • Dry waste is further segregated as per norms and handed over to TSPCB approved vendors for recycling.
  • All garden waste is composted and converted into manure which is used to maintain the garden.
