- You’ll benefit from top-quality simulation platforms and enjoy hands-on learning through Coursera and BITS labs.

Learning hours
- You'll be expected to invest approximately 25 hours per week every semester. Each semester (except the final semester) will have 6 courses, sequenced in a manner that a student would need to do only 3 courses simultaneously, each course will require 8 hours per week.

- The programme will also have real-world group projects for you to apply the knowledge gained and learn to collaborate with your classmates.

BITS Virtual labs
BITS Virtual lab is a cloud-based simulation space where you can design, develop, and test solutions without visiting a physical facility. You can access the lab remotely to perform experiments. You'll have access to recorded demo videos, lab manuals and teaching assistants to answer any questions or doubts.
