The Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani is one of the largest private universities in India, with four campuses in India and Dubai. The SmaSo and the Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering have concluded an agreement on joint supervision for the doctoral program students with BITS Pilani, and working together to develop doctoral students who have the global capability and strengthen international joint research.
