Enrollments at BITS Pilani Dubai Campus Witness a Surge in Higher Degree Programs and Ph.D. Pursuits

BITS Pilani Dubai Campus has reported a staggering 90% increase in higher degree program enrollments and a remarkable 150% surge in Ph.D. enrollments, signifying a growing confidence among students in the academic excellence and specialized education offered at the institution.

The surge in admissions can be attributed to several factors, including the favorable location of Dubai, world-class educational facilities, and the cosmopolitan environment, which attract Indian students. Additionally, local students are drawn to UAE-based higher education institutions due to the affordability of tuition fees compared to Western countries, as well as the promise of a robust job market and higher salaries. This surge in enrollments is evident not only in higher degree programs but also in Ph.D. pursuits.

The increasing stature of the UAE as a higher education hub and the rising demand from working-class students in the UAE aspiring to pursue advanced education are seen as two major contributors to this trend.

Professor Srinivasan Madapusi, Director of BITS Pilani Dubai Campus, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are thrilled to witness such remarkable achievements in student enrollment. These milestones affirm BPDC’s commitment to providing quality education and fostering a conducive academic environment.”

Nahid Afshan, Head of Admission at BITS Pilani Dubai Campus, added, “The surge in admission numbers is a testament to the exceptional educational offerings and the unique advantages that studying in Dubai provides. We, at BPDC, are committed to nurturing a diverse and dynamic student community and providing them with opportunities for academic and personal growth.”

The combined accomplishments underscore the continued success of BITS Pilani Dubai Campus in attracting students not only from the UAE but also from across the globe. The campus remains dedicated to delivering world-class education and contributing to the academic and research landscape in the region.
