Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani – Goa Campus (BPGC), also known as BITS Pilani, Goa Campus, is a technical and science institute for higher education in located in Goa, India. Established in 2004, it is one of the four campuses of the BITS Pilani. The Aditya Birla Group privately supports the residential features of the institute.
In April 2011, following the August 2008 death of the Chancellor, Krishna Kumar Birla, the campus was renamed to Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani K. K. Birla Goa Campus in his memory. In August 2011, the campus held its first ever convocation ceremony, during which 580 graduates were awarded their degrees.
The academic course structure is governed by the university of BITS Pilani. However, each campus has its own autonomous administration, student welfare division, faculty recruitment and placement division.
The institute offers 4-year B.E. "first degree" programs and also 5-year M.Sc.(Honours) degrees through its dual degree system. It also offers M.E. programs in the various fields.
BITS Pilani also offers a dual degree to the students of Master of Science programmes. The dual degree is offered in one of the engineering programmes after freshman year. The engineering degree being offered is based on the students' choice and their academic performance in first year. Under the dual degree scheme, a student is offered two separate degrees on graduation: a degree in Master of Science (Hons.) and in Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) Students performing exceptionally well in first year are also eligible to pursue two B.E or two M.Sc. courses together.
However, the programme increases the duration of his/her stay on campus by at least two semesters. The compulsory disciplinary courses of the second programme are completed in the seventh and eighth semesters. The final year (ninth and tenth semester) is dedicated for two, semester long, off campus industrial training internships or master's thesis.
The institute offers a vertical transfer system through which students performing exceptionally well in their first year are given an opportunity to have their branch changed. Through this, MSc students can abandon their MSc in favour a BE single degree.
