Integrated Degree Programmes in Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Pharmacy, and Master of Science have several common courses. These degrees are based on a modular structure, and their academic requirements are spelt out in respect of the number of courses and units. All these programmes are structured in such a way that normally a student will be able to finish a programme in eight semesters. The flexibility of the institute allows a student to do their programme at a faster pace and finish it earlier than eight semesters or at a slower pace to finish later than eight semesters.

Following fee structure is of previous academic year 2025-26. The Fee structure for 2026-27 will be updated on the website https://admissions.bits-pilani.ac.in/ISA/ISA.html. BITS Pilani Fee structure for AY 2025-26 for International Students (Each Academic Year consists of two semesters: The First Semester is between August and December; the Second Semester is between January and May. There is an optional Summer Term from May-July)
