Engineer the Future — Where Electronics Meets Computing


The B.E. Electronics and Computer Engineering course at BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus, brings the power of electronics as well as computing to train the next generation of innovators in various fields. The course curriculum integrates electronics topics such as digital design, microelectronic circuits, control systems, signals & systems and VLSI design with solid computer engineering foundations. This combination ensures graduates have the knowledge of both hardware and software skills that allow them to build embedded devices, smart electronics or work on software-hardware co-design projects. The programme also highlights the current technological demands in emerging areas such as AI, IoT, robotics and networked systems that create career opportunities in advanced technology industries or research-oriented paths.

Design a Degree That Works for You


At BITS Pilani, your academic path is not Linear. It allows you to customise your learning path
according to your aspirations, goals and interest.

The structure of degree programmes and academic regulations also provides certain other flexibilities like choice of electives, number of electives, repetition of courses, departure from normal pace, withdrawal from or substitution of course(s), etc.

Students interested in exploring courses beyond the scope of their curriculum can opt to audit them. This option is for casual learners who are not enrolled in a degree programme.Courses such as Foreign Languages and Music are offered in addition to the core degree programmes. Students may take these courses on an audit basis, subject to the payment of additional fees.

High-performing students may transfer to:


Higher Degree or Ph.D. programmes


Between Ph.D. and Higher Degree levels (based on academic standing). This flexibility supports seamless progression for research-driven students.

One of the most popular flexibilities offered by our educational structure is the dual degree scheme, under which students concurrently work towards completing two integrated first degrees within a reasonable timeframe. All students admitted to Group B programmes are also eligible to work under this scheme for one of the Group A programmes. Assignments to programmes are made based on individual performance during the first year.


In the assignment of dual degrees, first priority is given to students in Group B seeking a second degree under this scheme from among the programmes in Group A. After fully satisfying the known needs of the first priority, a second operation is done to consider the other priority, namely, students in any group seeking a second degree from amongst the programmes in another group. While it would be academically and procedurally acceptable for a student admitted to Group A or B programmes to seek a second degree in Group C in the dual degree scheme, the reverse process is not normally possible. However, a student admitted to Group C will be eligible to compete for a dual degree in any degree in Group C, or any degree in Group B or MMS, but only in Group A.

Practice School
The Original Experiential Learning Model


The Practice School Programme is a hallmark of BITS Pilani’s experiential learning approach. It provides students with an opportunity to practice what they have learnt in global organisations under the supervision of a mentor. Students work on cutting-edge technologies and have the option to practice in their discipline of study or cross-disciplinary areas. In addition to providing students with an opportunity to play roles that require multifunctional skills, this flagship programme also offers many students the chance to secure a PPO.

Practice School-I

Practice School I is an eight-week course conducted during the summer term after the second year of study. Students are stationed in an organisation during this programme, and after a comprehensive orientation, students largely learn through observation and work on group projects, under the guidance and mentorship of industry experts and a faculty member from BITS. This not only serves as a first exposure for students to the corporate world but also helps nurture their personality traits, communication, and presentation skills.

Practice School-II

Practice School-II offered in the final year of study is a TWENTY-TWO-week full-time program. First-degree students in their final year of study can register for this program either during the first semester or the second semester, and Dual-Degree students can register for a double-semester PS-II program. For higher degree students, the course is titled Practice School, and such students can register for it in their final semester of study.

FAQs

At BITS Pilani, ECE-COM merges core electronics and computer engineering, combining hardware, software and embedded-systems foundations to produce engineers skilled in circuits, computing, communications and system design.

You study electronics (electronic devices, digital circuits, microelectronic-VLSI, signals & systems), computer science (data structures, algorithms, computer architecture, operating systems), networks & communication, and control & interfacing courses.

This programme integrates both electronics (hardware, circuits, VLSI, embedded systems) and computing (software, algorithms, OS, networks), giving you breadth — allowing roles in hardware design, embedded systems, software, networking, or interdisciplinary areas.

Through the institute’s flagship Practice School — PS-I (after second year, eight-week summer internship) and PS-II (final year, 22-week full-time placement) — you get real-world industry exposure, live projects, and potential PPOs.

You can choose electives like robotics, computer-vision, blockchain, human–computer interaction, embedded systems, network programming, real-time operating systems, AI for robotics, VLSI design, etc.

Graduates can work in embedded-systems design, VLSI, electronics hardware, software development, communications engineering, IoT, robotics, research, and sectors bridging hardware-software integration.

You may pursue M.E. / M.Tech or MS/PhD in specialisations such as embedded systems, VLSI and microelectronics, communication systems, robotics, computer engineering, or interdisciplinary research fields.

You’ll gain hardware design, digital and analog circuit skills, programming and algorithmic thinking, systems & network design, embedded software, control systems knowledge, and problem-solving across software–hardware boundaries.

B.E. Electronics & Computer Engineering at BITS Pilani is a four-year integrated first degree with a structured curriculum of core courses, electives, labs, and mandatory internships.

The programme is offered at BITS Pilani’s main campuses (K K Birla Goa); its curricula and faculty strength reflect the institute’s established electronics/EE discipline.
