BITS Pilani (an Institution of Eminence in India) and The Iowa State Ames have partnered to offer an exciting opportunity for students to pursue unique collaborative academic programmes at the international level. Students can opt to pursue a dual degree program whereby they can obtain an engineering degree from BITS Pilani and an engineering degree from Iowa State University upon successful completion of the program requirements.

Students admitted under this collaboration will have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in diverse cultures and gain a truly global perspective. In this 4-year collaborative ‘dual degree’ programme, students will spend the first two years along with a summer term at BITS Pilani campuses before getting transferred to Iowa State University, Ames for the remaining two years (i.e., years 3 and 4) of their study period. Our innovative curriculum combines the strengths of both academic environments, offering an outstanding education that would prepare them for success in today’s rapidly changing world. With state-of-the-art facilities, inspiring faculty, and a wide range of extracurricular activities, this collaboration would be the perfect place to launch students’ productive academic and professional journeys.

It is planned to admit students in the following four undergraduate programmes from two leading universities from the Academic Year 2024-25 Programs onward.

• B.E. Electronics and Communication by BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus and B.S. Electrical Engineering by Iowa State University
