Are you dreaming of the "zero-attendance" freedom at BITS Pilani? Or perhaps you're eyeing the scenic Goa campus or the tech-integrated Hyderabad campus? If you are a high-achieving engineering aspirant in India, the Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test (BITSAT) is likely your top priority alongside JEE.
With the BITSAT 2026 application process officially open, the race for one of the most prestigious private engineering seats in the country has begun. Unlike other exams, BITSAT isn't just about what you know; it’s about how fast and accurately you can apply it.
In this deep dive, we cover everything from the updated registration dates to the "secret" bonus questions and the real score data needed to land Computer Science.
Before we dive deep, here are the quick facts every aspirant needs to save
BITSAT is a 3-hour computer-based test consisting of 130 Multiple Choice Questions.
Marking Scheme:
The Bonus Round: If you complete all 130 questions before the 3-hour limit, you can unlock 12 additional bonus questions (3 each from Physics, Chemistry, Maths, and LR).
To get into your dream branch, you need to target these scores (out of 390).
BITSAT has one of the strictest eligibility rules in India. Make sure you meet these before paying the fee:
The application is fully digital. You can choose to apply for one session or both sessions upfront.
Fee Structure:
Preparing for an exam as competitive as BITSAT requires more than just self-study; it requires a scientific approach to speed and personalization.

Q: Is BITSAT harder than JEE Main?

Q: Can I use a calculator?
A: No, calculators are not allowed. You must rely on mental math and rough work.
Q: Which campus is best?
A: Pilani is the heritage campus with the highest cutoffs. Goa and Hyderabad are equally excellent with modern infrastructure and a unified placement system (all three campuses sit for the same companies).
Q: What is the "Direct Admission" scheme?
A: BITS offers direct admission to first-rank holders (Toppers) of all Central and State boards in India, regardless of their BITSAT score, provided they meet the 75% PCM criteria.
