We offer two tracks:

2-year program

Open to Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) or Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Computer Science or Information Technology candidates
Minimum CGPA: 70% in BE/BTech; 60% in 10th and 12th

4-year program

Open to Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) or Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) in Computer Science, Information Technology, AI&ML candidates

In all programs, you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through rotations across different Lines of Business (LoBs) at SAP while pursuing your M.Tech degree from BITS Pilani.

At the end of either program, students may be invited to take on a permanent position at SAP based on performance.
