BITS Pilani announces schedule for BITSAT 2026

The Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani — an Institute of Eminence — has announced the schedule and application details for the BITS Admission Test (BITSAT) 2026, the highly anticipated entrance examination for admission to its undergraduate programmes. The application process began on 15 December, and the deadline to apply for Session 1 is 16 March 2026. Candidates are encouraged to complete their applications well before the deadline and to regularly check the official website for updates.

According to a press statement, the test will be conducted in two sessions — Session 1 from 15 to 17 April 2026, and Session 2 from 24 to 26 May 2026. Candidates may choose to appear in either one session or both; those attempting both will have the advantage of their best score being considered for admission. Reaffirming its commitment to a merit-based and transparent admissions process, BITS Pilani has invited aspiring students from across the country to apply for BITSAT 2026 and join its tradition of academic excellence.

Speaking on the development, Professor Ramgopal Rao, Vice-Chancellor, BITS Pilani, said: “At BITS Pilani, we want every talented student to feel that this institution is within their reach. One in every four students on our campuses receives some form of financial support, and many of our alumni have created fully funded scholarships for students from economically weaker families and for girls who aspire to study on BITS Pilani campuses. We actively encourage students from lower- and middle-income backgrounds to take BITSAT with confidence.

If they have the merit, we will find a way to support their education. That commitment is central to the BITS Pilani ethos.” BITS Pilani has updated its official admissions portal to www.admissions.bits-pilani.ac.in. Eligible candidates can explore a range of scholarships based on various criteria and are encouraged to visit the website for detailed information. Applicants are advised to use only this updated portal for authentic updates on BITSAT 2026 and the admissions process.
