BITSAT 2026 – Counselling

• BITSAT counselling is conducted right after the declaration of BITSAT results and is a crucial step for admission to BITS Pilani and its campuses for participating candidates.
• Eligible candidates must register themselves for counselling online by filling in their preferences for degree programs and campus choices.
• The seat allocation process is based on the candidate’s BITSAT score, their preferences, and seat availability in different programmes.
• Multiple rounds of seat allotment are held, and candidates may be allotted higher preferences in subsequent rounds if seats are available.
• Candidates once allotted seats must confirm their admission by paying the required fees within specified timelines.
• Document verification is required during counselling, and failure to meet eligibility or deadline requirements can result in cancellation of admission.
