BITSAT 2026 Registration Window Open: Apply by May 2 at admissions.bits-pilani.ac.in

The Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, has officially opened the application window for the second session of BITSAT 2026.

Aspirants looking to secure a seat in the prestigious Integrated First Degree programs across Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad campuses can now submit their applications online.

According to the latest notification on the official admission portal, admissions.bits-pilani.ac.in, the registration for Session 2 began on April 20 and will remain active until May 2, 2026.

This window is crucial for students who either missed the first session or wish to improve their performance in the second attempt.

Key Dates for BITSAT 2026 Session 2

Staying on top of the schedule is vital for engineering aspirants. Here are the definitive dates for the upcoming phase:

Who Needs to Apply Now?

The current registration cycle serves two groups of students:

1. Fresh Applicants: Students who did not register for Session 1 can now apply specifically for Session 2.

2. Returning Applicants: Students who originally applied only for Session 1 but now wish to appear for Session 2 can log in with their existing credentials and pay the additional fee.

Note: If you already paid for both sessions during the initial registration in December/January, you do not need to register again.

To be eligible, candidates must have passed their Class 12 (or equivalent) in 2025 or 2026. A minimum of 75% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (or Biology for B.Pharm) is required, along with at least 60% in each individual subject.

The fee structure for fresh Session 2 applicants is as follows:

• Male Candidates: ₹3,600

• Female/Transgender Candidates: ₹3,100

Benefits of BITSAT Exam

Unlike many other entrance exams, BITSAT offers a unique advantage: the best of two scores. If a student appears for both sessions, BITS Pilani considers the higher score for the final merit list.

This takes the pressure off a single day’s performance and allows students to learn from their first attempt.

With the May 2 deadline approaching fast, students are advised not to wait until the last hour to avoid technical glitches due to high server traffic.
