BITS Pilani has opened BITSAT 2026 applications, releasing dates, admission routes, and its First Degree Programmes list.
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.
