BITS Pilani
Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani
How admission works here
BITS Pilani runs its own M.E and M.Pharm admissions. From its admissions brochure, 2026-27.
BITS fills each M.E program from two merit lists, one by GATE score and one by marks in its own Higher Degree (HD) test, with at most half the seats from each; seats one list leaves empty go to the other. Software Systems and Environmental Engineering admit through the HD test only. BITS publishes no cutoffs, so the scores on this page are the lowest that candidates reported with offers.
