Hello Swetha,

Yes, you're eligible for JEE Main 2026 & BITSAT 2026 with your 2025 Board improvement exam marks.

JEE Main: Your 2025 marks count for eligibility. These improved marks will be used for the 75% criteria for NIT/IIT admissions.

BITSAT: Your 2025 improved marks are accepted. Ensure they meet the 75% aggregate in PCM (or PCB) and 60% individually in each. Your "Pass" status must remain.

Ensure results are available by deadlines.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

hi,

Yes, you can still apply for engineering courses even if your PCM aggregate is less than 75%, as long as you have scored above the minimum required marks in each individual subject. Many colleges and entrance exams consider individual subject marks and overall eligibility criteria differently. However, some top engineering colleges or specific programs might require a minimum PCM aggregate of 75%. So, check the specific eligibility criteria of the colleges or exams you are targeting to be sure.

Thank you for your inquiry regarding BITSAT eligibility.

To be considered for the Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test (BITSAT), applicants must have completed their 12th grade from a recognized board, including Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, and must also demonstrate adequate proficiency in English.

Regarding marks: BITS requires a minimum aggregate of 75% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM), and at least 60% individually in each of those three subjects.

Your current scores are as follows:

- Physics: 71%

- Chemistry: 90%

- Mathematics: 59%

- PCM Average: 73.3%

While your overall PCM average is close to the required threshold, the Mathematics score falls short of the individual subject minimum. As it stands, this renders you ineligible for BITSAT admission.

However, if you undertake the CBSE Improvement Exam and increase your Mathematics score to 60% or above, you would meet the eligibility requirements. BITS does accept improvement scores, provided you fulfill all eligibility criteria in your final attempt. Please ensure that:

- You sit for the improvement examination in the same year as your application (2025).

- Your final marksheet reflects the required scores in each subject, as well as the overall PCM aggregate.

It is also advisable to retain both your original and improved marksheets, as BITS will require the final, eligible result during the counselling and admission process.

Should you require guidance on selecting appropriate colleges or determining your next steps, a range of counselling tools and resources are available to assist you.

Wishing you success with your improvement exam and future applications.

Hello ,

I hope you are absolutely fine. As per your mentioned query , student should have passed their class 12th from any recognised board having PCM ( physics, chemistry and mathematics) or PCB ( physics, chemistry and biology) as main subjects with minimum aggregate of 75% .

Revert for further query!

Certainly!

In the Telangana State Board (TSBIE), Mathematics is organized into four segments: Maths 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B. For assessment purposes, Maths 1A and 1B are combined as “Mathematics Paper I,” while 2A and 2B are combined as “Mathematics Paper II.”

When evaluating whether you meet the 60% minimum requirement for the subject, the calculation is done using the combined marks for Paper I (1A + 1B) and Paper II (2A + 2B), rather than considering each individual part separately. Achieving at least 60% in the combined scores for each paper is sufficient; it is not necessary to attain 60% in every individual segment.

If any aspect remains unclear, feel free to ask for further clarification.

Hi aspirant,

Free BITSAT mock tests are an essential tool for successful preparation. They give a realistic exam simulation, aid in time management, performance analysis, familiarization with the marking scheme, and assistance in establishing effective exam-taking techniques, all of which considerably improve your chances of success on the BITSAT.

Thankyou and all the best!

• Contact BITS Pilani: Explain your situation and check for any flexibility regarding the 75% criteria.

• Consider Other Universities:

  • VIT (VITEEE), SRM (SRMJEE), MIT Manipal—no 75% criteria.

• Prepare for JEE Main: If eligible, JEE Advanced opens doors to IITs and NITs.

• BITS Foundation Program: Some universities offer preparatory courses that can help you meet eligibility later.

Yes, the BITSAT 2025 counselling process is expected to continue into August, even though the results will be announced in the first week of August. The tentative schedule indicates that the counselling process, including multiple iterations and fee payments, will extend through August 2025.

Key Dates:
