Minimum aggregate 75% marks in PCM (for Engineering) or PCB/PCM (as required) + at least 60% individually in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology in 12th standard. Only candidates from recent year (appearing or passed in immediate previous year) are eligible. For students with PCB (no Maths) — eligible only for B.Pharm or certain courses that allow Biology instead of Maths.
• Documents Required : Scanned image of photograph, signature, 12th mark sheet / provisional certificate or admission-in-progress certificate if appearing, identity proof, etc.

After conducting the exam (or both sessions if attempted), BITS uses the best score for admission consideration. For certain state-board toppers (first rank), there may be direct admission even without BITSAT score, depending on year’s admission policy. Admission into specific programs is based on merit - BITSAT score + 12th marks as per eligibility and course-wise seat availability.
