BITS RMIT 2026 Admission Process

BITS Pilani and RMIT University, Melbourne, are offering eligible candidates an opportunity to obtain dual undergraduate degrees from both Universities. Through the BITS RMIT programme, candidates with a valid BITSAT score can apply and gain the opportunity to enrol concurrently into both BITS Pilani and RMIT. The students will study mainly BITS subjects, but will also gain exposure to RMIT subjects. Students will study the first half of their degree at BITS Pilani and the second half at RMIT University, Melbourne. However, in the first two years of study, the students will be flown to Melbourne for a two-week introductory course.

For admissions into BITS Pilani and RMIT University, the candidates will have to attempt BITSAT 2026 and secure a good score. Those candidates who have applied for the programme and achieved the preferred cutoff will be contacted by the University to complete the admission process.

BITS Pilani has introduced tuition-blind admissions for the top 500 rank holders of BITSAT from the academic year 2026-27. Students who secure a place among the top 500 in BITSAT and have an annual family income of up to ₹20 lakh will receive a full tuition fee scholarship for all four years of their degree. Students must maintain a minimum CGPA of 7.5 at their campus to continue getting the benefit. The institute clarified that this is not a scholarship that students need to apply for after admission. The full tuition support will be part of the admission process itself. In the last year alone, the institute gave ₹132 crore in merit and merit-cum-need scholarships. Around one in four students across its campuses received some form of financial help.

Candidates can check their obtained scores immediately after the BITSAT exam concludes. Moderated scores are released through the BITSAT result only.
