BITSAT past cutoffs (2017–2025): year, campus, program-wise
Year-on-year admission cutoffs across BITS Pilani's four campuses. Use the trend to set realistic 2026 targets - and predict where your score lands.
BITS Pilani admission cutoffs vary year by year. They depend on the question paper's relative difficulty, the applicant pool's strength, and how many students with high scores prefer BITS over IIT/NIT/IIIT. This page is a live database - first version below covers headline cutoff bands by campus + program; full year × program tables expand in the next update.
Cutoff trends: how they've moved 2017–2025
The general direction across nine years has been a small upward drift in CSE-flagship cutoffs at all three Indian campuses, with two specific drops (2020, 2022) caused by external factors:
- 2020 dip: COVID-19 disrupted board exams + made the BITSAT format harder to prep for; effective cutoff dropped 8–15 points across most programs.
- 2022 dip: JEE-shifted-late cohort had less time on BITSAT; some BITSAT scores translated more favourably.
- 2024–2025 rebound: normal ranges restored; CSE Pilani back at 320–325 floor.

How to use cutoffs to set your 2026 target
- Pick your 1st-choice program. Look up its 2024–25 cutoff above.
- Add 5–10 points buffer. Cutoffs drift up; aim above last year's floor.
- Practice authentic mocks. Your raw mock score is the closest predictor of your real BITSAT score.
- Track your trend over 5–10 mocks. Look at your trajectory: 240 → 260 → 280 means you're on track for ~290 by Session 2.
