    On Question asked by student community

    Have a question related to BITSAT ?

    Hi,

    With a BITSAT score of 188, getting an Integrated M.Sc program at BITS Pilani main campus may be difficult this year. However, you can still have some chances in:
    • BITS Hyderabad – M.Sc Biological Sciences/Chemistry (borderline)
    • BITS Goa – difficult but possible only if cutoffs drop slightly.

    Hi,

    With 86.511 percentile, OBC-NCL category, and Army ward quota, you should definitely participate in JoSAA and CSAB counselling because you can still get decent ECE/EEE options in lower NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. Army ward quota can also help in some institutes.

    For ECE/EEE, you can target:
    • NIT Srinagar

    Hi,

    With a BITSAT Session 1 score of 202 and applying for B.Pharm, you actually have pretty decent chances, especially at BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus and possibly even Pilani campus depending on final cutoffs.

    Recent B.Pharm cutoffs have generally stayed much lower than engineering branches, often around 150–175 marks in

    With your scores, you still have quite a few good options, especially because of UP domicile and female quota advantages.

    Good possibilities include:
    • Institute of Engineering and Technology Lucknow → ECE/AI-related branches possible
    • Harcourt Butler Technical University → good core/electronics branches
    • Kamla Nehru Institute of Technology →
