Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), one of the most renowned Institutions in India. It is the top private engineering college in India. In 1901 when the pillars of this Institution were built, it was Seth ShivNarainji Birla made a pathshala for their grandsons and then after the whole new era of education started. In 1929 the pathshala evolves as Intermediate College. In 1943 the Birla Education Trust was founded and the Intermediate College which was started as a pathshala was now a degree college and soon after post-graduate courses also started. In the process of changing and updating the education system in India the further high-level courses like Pharmacy, Arts and commerce were added to the courses and finally in 1964 Birla Institute of Technology and Science was incepted as an Institute with Dr. G. D. Birla as Founder Chairman and after that University was developed in association with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA. And after that till now they are providing the best education in the world, with several other branches of BITS in Goa, Dubai, and Hyderabad. BITS Pilani is a deemed university established under Section 3 of the UGC Act,1956.
Here are some highlights of the excellence of BITS Pilani according to QS World University Rankings in the world is 801-1000 and in Asia is 187 and among BRICS nations is 109 in 2018. According to Times Higher Education World University Rankings in the world is 801-1000 and in Asia is 181-190 in 2018. In India by National Institutional Ranking Framework ranked 21 overall and 13 among universities and 16 among engineering colleges in 2017. By India Today it was 4th, by outlook India it was 5th and by The Week it was 7th among engineering colleges in 2017.

Required Educational Qualification:

Only appearing students for 12th examination in 2018 or students passed the 12th Examination in 2017 are eligible to appear in the BITSAT-2018 test. If a candidate has taken more than one attempt in 12th class then only his latest performance is considered, provided this attempt has been for the full component of subjects/courses prescribed. Students passed the 12th examination in 2016 or earlier are NOT eligible to appear in BITSAT-2018. Students presently studying in BITS at any of its campuses are not eligible to appear in BITSAT-2018.
Admissions in BITS 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-2018 test. 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:

There is a provision in the admission process of the BITS Institute that the Institute always ensured guaranteed admission to all the students who are Board Toppers in their respective board examinations. This has given a very vital input of highly meritorious students from all over India. Topper students of all the central and state boards in India for the year 2018 will be given direct admission to the program of their choice, irrespective of their BITSAT-2018 score as per the eligibility criteria mentioned above. Further details about this scheme will be available at BITS admission website by 1st of May 2018.
