Possible Reasons for BITSAT 2026 Being Conducted Earlier
- Conducting the BITSAT exam earlier will lead to better coordination with the national-level engineering exams- JEE Main and Advanced. Earlier, the BITSAT exam was conducted as the last engineering test right between the JoSAA counselling. This affected those who were confused between admission through JEE Mains and BITSAT.
- This will also help BITS start its academic year on time, along with other popular engineering institutions of the country.
