The birthplace of
changemakers.
Since 1964.
At BITS Pilani, ambition isn’t encouraged; it’s expected. For decades, the brightest minds have come here not to follow paths, but to create them. This is where the rule-breakers, the idea-builders, the relentless problem-solvers begin their journey. Every question asked here shapes what’s next. Every challenge taken on redefines what’s possible.
Building the next wave of
Innovators
with 7 Campuses
Across seven vibrant campuses and numerous programs, we don't just teach - we spark curiosity. Our students engage in experiences that blur the lines between the classroom and the real world. They work with innovators, challenge old ideas, and build new ones. Because here, learning isn’t a chapter - it’s an adventure.
The flagship campus has a proud history of over 50 years. It is located just outside the town of Pilani, Rajasthan, the hometown of the Birla family and is also referred to as Vidya Vihar. Set in beautiful wooded pathways and covering an area of 328 acres, the campus is self-contained with all facilities and buildings expected of an institute of international standing. It also features a beautiful library complex with a built-up area of 65,000 sq. ft and a rich collection of over 2,30,000 volumes of books and manuscripts.
