BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus

You are correct. BITS Hyderabad and BITS Goa do not have a specific NRI (Non-Resident Indian) quota for admissions. Both campuses follow a merit-based admission process through the BITSAT exam, where all candidates, including NRIs, are considered on equal terms.

However, there is a separate admission process for International students, which includes NRIs, OCI, and PIO candidates. This process has distinct eligibility criteria and may have different fee structures compared to regular admissions. It is recommended to check the official BITS website or contact the admissions office for more details regarding the process for international students.

No, admission to the BE programmes is based on merit in the Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test (BITSAT) only. BITS Pilani Hyderabad does not accept any other entrance test scores.you cannot take admission to BITS Hyderabad with a JEE Main score. BITS Hyderabad only accepts their own entrance test marks for admissions, and merit-based selection is done through the BITSAT examination. BITS Pilani does not take into account the JEE Mains score for its admission process. Instead, admission to BITS Pilani is solely determined by the BITSAT score. The syllabus for JEE Main and BITSAT are quite similar, so focusing on JEE Main preparation can suffice.
