BITS Pilani - Birla Institute of Technology and Science Answered Questions

Hello Keerthi!
There are total 5 rounds of counseling. But mostly which stream you will get, it becomes clear after 2nd round. Because always each student fills his choice in 1st round and after the declaration of first round they ask for deposit of admission fee for 1st sem, where most of the students back off (many of them have got admission in good IITs). So, in 2nd round, only those who submit the admission fee, get the courses (specially the interested ones). After the declaration of 2nd round's result you are further asked to submit the mess bills in advance and those who submit, gets their name in 3rd round.
This information is from a student who studied at BITS Pilani.
All the best!

Hi Pranav,
BITS has very flexible academics with which comes a lot of advantages, one of which is dual degree. If you opt for this you get an admission in M.Sc degree and after the completion of one year, based on your CGPA the B.E degree is allotted. If you performed well you might get computer sciences as your dual degree. Similarly, other degrees( EEE, ENI, Chemical, Civil, Mechanical) are also allotted on this procedure. It's a five-year program at the end of which you are given two degrees one for the M.Sc and the other for the B.E degree.
The cutoff's for M.Sc economics in 2016 was 335.
Hope you find it useful.
All the best!

Focus on NCERT if you haven't done any preparations yet. Most of the portion will be from that only. Apart from that, you can refer to some references books like "Arihant BITSAT" or any other popular publications and start solving questions from there. BITSAT is all about practice, you need speed and accuracy to crack BITSAT, so focus on that.
I wish you all the best.
Let me know if you need any further help.

Year by year, the cutoff for admission is increasing in BITS. 2 years ago, I would have considered 300+ a safe score to get admission into BITS, Pilani. Last year, cutoff was 296 for M.Sc Biology at Hyderabad campus. The cutoff for all other branches at any of the three campuses was more than this (excluding B.Pharm.). So, if you are aiming to get into BITS, I would suggest keep a target score of around 310+. Obviously, better the score, better branch you get.
