Hello Aspirant,

From your BITSAT score of 210, BITS Hyderabad entry supports a very focused choice of integrated M.Sc. (like M.Sc. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Economics or Biology). Generally with this score, admission into the M.Sc. programs at BITS Hyderabad is likely competitive. Based on past trends, the cutoff's for the M.Sc. programs at Hyderabad have ranged 220 to 250. While 210 will typically be below the cutoff marks for most M.Sc. courses, you might still have a small chance / opportunity during the last / spot rounds, provided the cutoff trend is slightly lower that year.

Hello Aspirant,

With a BITSAT score of 172 and SRMJEEE Phase 2 rank of 14,110, securing top branches like CSE at BITS Pilani, Goa, or Hyderabad is unlikely, as their cutoffs are much higher (around 240–270+ for lesser-known branches). Similarly, SRM KTR campus for CSE closes within ~2,000–5,000 rank, so core branches at SRM KTR may not be possible, but Ramapuram or Vadapalani campuses might offer CSE or allied branches.

Now, comparing your other two options:

VIT Bhopal vs. Chandigarh University (CU):

1. VIT Bhopal

   • Part of the reputed VIT group.

   • Newer campus but decent infrastructure.

   • Better academic reputation than CU.

   • Good placements mainly for CSE/IT streams.

2. Chandigarh University (CU):

   • Known for aggressive placement marketing.

   • Good exposure, foreign tie-ups, and more affordable for North Indian students.

   • Decent placement packages for CSE/AI/ML, but mass placements are often on the lower side.

Which Should You Choose?

If you get CSE or CSE-related branches at VIT Bhopal then you take admission at VIT Bhopal.
If not, Chandigarh University is a decent alternative, especially if you’re from North India and want affordability and exposure.

All the best for your admission process.

Hello,

With a BITSAT score of 263, getting EEE or Electronics and Instrumentation at BITS Hyderabad or Goa may be tough. These branches usually close at a higher score.

Even if the paper was tougher this year, the cut-offs may not drop much. You might have a better chance in later rounds, but it’s still a bit difficult. Keep backup options ready.

Hope it helps !

Hello Raghav! Well done on your accomplishment. I think you have the following options based on your ranks:

1. JEE Main Rank 5764 (General; Karnataka): CSE at NIT Trichy or Warangal is difficult at this rank in General. The good news is that you can get into NIT Surathkal CSE through Home State quota. Surathkal is one of the best NITs for CSE and is at par with Trichy and Warangal in terms of placement.
2. KCET Rank 165 : This is a good rank. You should be able to get CSE in any of the top colleges in Karnataka - RVCE, BMSCE, or MSRIT. These colleges also have good placements and reputations.
3. VITEEE Rank 605: With this rank you can easily get CSE at VIT Vellore (including preferred categories). But, NIT Surathkal and top KCET colleges (RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT) have generally more reputation than VIT.
4. JEE Advanced and BITSAT : If you do well in JEE Advanced, then old IITs or IIT-Hyderabad would be worth targeting. BITS Pilani CSE is also a very good option, it is as good as old NITs and better than some IITs.

Hello,

Yes, you can write the session 1 exam even if your 12th mark sheet was not uploaded during the BIT SAT application . Usually, not uploading the mark sheet at the time of registration does not stop you from appearing in the exam.

Just make sure to upload the required documents before the final admission process or as instructed by the exam authority.

If you want to be completely sure, you can check with the BIT SAT help desk or their official website for any specific rules about this. But generally, there is no objection for writing the session 1 exam in this case.

Hope it helps !

If your Aadhaar card only displays your year of birth and lacks the full date (day, month, and year), it may pose a challenge at the BITSAT exam center. The BITSAT admit card requires a complete date of birth to verify your identity. Discrepancies between the date of birth on your Aadhaar and the one on your admit card could lead to issues during the verification process.
