BITS Pilani Dubai (formely BITS Pilani, Dubai Campus) does not feature in the two available world rankings (Shanghai Jiao Tong University,China and Times Higher Education Suppliment,UK). The fact is it is not a university and awards degrees from BITS, Pilani; as such it might not even be considered for these rankings. In fact, the only Indian institutes that feature in these rankings are the IITs, IIMs and the IIScs.
But, still BITS, Pilani in Dubai is the most sought after engineering college by Gulf Countries Candidates(GCCs). If, at all it does come at the top in the near future, which is very likely, it'll be ranked in Middle East ( or UAE ) colleges\universities. It'll be ranked among the top few colleges in UAE just like BITS Rajasthan is ranked among the top few in India.
As far as the inter-BITS ranking is concerned, among the three campuses, it would rank second ( The new campus at Academic City provides world-class facilities ) if you compare:
BITS Pilani runs an extension center in Bangalore for "off-campus" students. These students are employees of various companies like Intel, Yahoo, etc and are eligible to be BITS students under the MoUs signed by their respective companies and BITS. There is NO admission procedure for the extension center.BITSAT is the way to get admission to any of the "on-campus" programs at the BITS Pilani, Pilani, Goa and Hyderabad Campuses.
Yes, BITS Pilani is a deemed to be university by the UGC and it's all programs (on campus and off campus) are approved by the UGC.
Dubai Campus of BITS Pilani has improved remarkably over the past decade. All 4 campuses ultimately give you the same degree. Earlier, Dubai campus admission was dependent only on 12th Standard marks but now the campus has introduced BITSAT. Since the campus caters primarily to the Indians in the Gulf, it has relaxed norms for admission (Students can apply via BITSAT or 12th Standard Marks). Hopefully, in the future, BITSAT will become 100% compulsory for the Dubai Campus. Obviously, I'd go for the flagship campus, but if I had to choose from the other three, (my personal opinion) I'd go for Goa or Dubai.
in India its on 9th number. can not be calcuated on the basis of world ranking.
Not at all. Stupid question comparing BITS Pilani, XYZ Campus with an unknown university.
Yes. Since 2008, all the rankings of BITS Pilani have included the Goa Campus.
In the only International Ranking BITS Pilani participated in, it was ranked 19th for Engineering in Asia, 30th in Full-Time MBA in Asia, and 4th in Distance-Learning MBA in Asia by Asiaweek (A subsidiary of TIME Magazine in Asia).

BITS Pilani Goa Campus is not a university, but a campus of the main university BITS Pilani. UGC approves BITS Pilani to have it's own campuses with the same course structure, curriculum as the parent campus. The degrees at BITS Pilani Goa are awarded by the university of BITS Pilani.Since BITS Pilani is a deemed university, hence it has the power to design its own degrees and curriculum. The MSc Economics degree at any of it's campuses is an amalgamation of Economics, Engineering and Science. Hence, it is a notch above the traditional Economics degree awarded at other universities. However, it is a 4 year integrated degree, and is considered an "undergraduate" degree and not as a "graduate" degree.
Yes.
too good !!
