The BITS Pilani, Dubai is competitive to some extent but getting into Dubai campus is not as hard as India based campuses.
The university does not require BITSAT or JEE as the admissions are entirely based on grade 12 qualifications.
There are no competitive exams for admissions, rather the admissions are merit-based (Board exams).
If a candidate is not able to get his/her first programme preference due to non-availability of seats in the first preference, his/her second and subsequent preference is considered, and an offer is made.
