The History of BITS Admissions BITS,
Pilani since its inception as a Deemed University in 1964 has admitted
students purely on merit. Till 1972, merit was based on the total marks
obtained in the qualifying examination; the subjects considered being
Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) for engineering. This system was
also followed by Delhi College of Engineering and most Regional Engineering
Colleges.
Admissions - The Issues and The Alternatives
We'd like to make a
point about the normalization system before we examine the issues. It is a
purely merit based, transparent system that has been appreciated by many,
including the honorable Supreme Court. Dr. Raghurama says "Many institutions
wanted to follow the normalization procedure abandoning their existing
entrance tests since they found many problems with the tests. In fact, some
institutions have started following the normalization procedure". |
