In a statement, Prof Ramgopal Rao, Vice Chancellor, BITS Pilani said, “At BITS Pilani, we want every talented student to feel that this institution is within their reach. One in every four students on our campuses receives some form of financial support, and many of our alumni have created fully funded scholarships for students from economically weaker families and for girls who aspire to study in BITS Pilani campuses. We actively encourage students from lower and middle income backgrounds to take BITSAT with confidence. If they have the merit, we will find a way to support their education. That commitment is central to the BITS Pilani ethos.”
BITSAT (Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test) is an online, computer-based entrance exam conducted by BITS Pilani for admission to its undergraduate programs, including BE, B.Pharm, and BSc (Integrated) at its campuses in Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad. The exam assesses students’ knowledge in five subjects: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology, English Proficiency, and Logical Reasoning. The test consists of 130 core questions, with an additional 12 optional bonus questions that candidates can choose to attempt. The marking scheme awards +3 marks for each correct answer, deducts 1 mark for each incorrect answer, and assigns 0 marks for unattempted questions. The presence of negative marking requires careful strategy, as incorrect answers can reduce the overall score.
Applicants are advised to use only this updated portal for authentic updates on BITSAT 2026 and the admissions process.
