For admission to any of the above mentioned Integrated first degree programmes, the candidate should have passed the 12th examination of the 10+2 system from a recognized Central/ State board or its equivalent with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. Since the medium of instruction at BITS is English, candidates should have adequate proficiency in English. Further, the candidate should have obtained a minimum of 80% aggregate marks in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects in 12th examination, with at least 60% marks in each of the Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics subjects.

Students who are appearing for 12th examination in 2007 are eligible to appear in the BITSAT-2007 test. Students who have passed the 12th examination in 2006 may also apply for BITSAT-2007, provided they explain the reasons for the gap. The admission committee will examine all such cases before taking a final decision on their eligibility. Students who have passed 12th examination in 2005 or earlier are NOT eligible to appear in BITSAT-2007. Students who are presently studying in BITS at any of its campuses are not eligible to appear in BITSAT test.

Admissions will be made purely on merit. The merit position of the candidate for admission will be based on the score obtained by the candidate in the BITSAT-2007. However, their eligibility for admission is subject to fulfilling the requirement of minimum marks in 12th examination, as mentioned above.

Direct Admission to Board Toppers:

In the past, admission process of the Institute always ensured guaranteed admission to all the students who obtained first ranks in their respective board examinations. This has given a very vital input of highly meritorious students from all over India. The Institute wants to maintain this practice and hence, first rank students of all the central and state boards in India will be given direct admission to the programme of their choice, irrespective of their BITSAT-2007 score. However, they should have obtained the minimum marks in PCM subjects of 12th examination, as described above.

For this purpose, the topper should be from the science stream having taken Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects in 12th. The aggregate marks should contain the Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects, in addition to other subjects considered by the board as required to pass the 12th examination. Further details about this scheme will be available at BITS website.
