BITSAT 2026 Exam Dates Announced; Registration to Begin from December 15 @bits-pilani.ac.in

BITS Pilani has started accepting applications for BITSAT 2026, the entrance test for admission to its B.E., M.Sc. and B.Pharm programmes across the Pilani, Goa and Hyderabad campuses.

The institute has also shared details about Board Topper Admission, International Student Admission, and the complete list of First Degree Programmes offered. Candidates should review the exam schedule, eligibility rules, and programme options carefully before applying because each pathway has separate requirements and deadlines.

BITSAT is the primary exam for entry into B.E., M.Sc. and B.Pharm programmes. It also acts as a gateway for the BITS-RMIT, BITS-UB, BITS-ISU, BITS-CSP and BITS-RPI 2+2 international programmes, making it one of the most competitive engineering entrance exams.

Students who topped their state or central board in Class 12 can apply through this route if they meet all eligibility criteria. Non-Indian passport holders can apply through the ISA Scheme, which evaluates candidates based on SAT scores.

BITSAT 2026 Dates

BITS Pilani has released the tentative schedule for both test sessions:

Event	Date	Details

Last Date to Apply for Session-1 or Both	March 16, 2026	Final date to submit forms

BITSAT Session-2 Exam	May 24–26, 2026	Online test for Session-2

If a student does not book a test slot, the system will automatically assign a date and time based on available preferences.

BITS Pilani offers a wide range of programmes across its Pilani, Goa, Hyderabad and Dubai campuses. These include engineering, sciences, pharmacy and specialised disciplines.

Applicants must carefully track the application timeline, slot booking, and exam schedule. Those applying through Board Topper or ISA schemes should verify eligibility early and prepare the required documents before the deadlines.

After the exam results are announced, students must take part in the centralised counselling and seat allotment process conducted by BITS Pilani. Programme choices and campus preferences will be considered during the allotment rounds.
