HELLO,

If you appeared in both attempts of BITSAT, and your lower score is being shown instead of the higher one , here are some suggestion that can helps you:-

BITS Pilani clearly mentions that the higher of the two scores(Attempt 1 and Attempt 2) will be considered for admission

However , after Attempt 2, BITS uploads the latest score first. The final selection will be made using the higher score out of both

You can follow these steps to check:_

1.Login in to your BITSAT candidate portal and check both scorecards (Attempt 1 and for Attempt 2)

2.If it is still showing only the lower score wait until the admission application portal updates after result normalization

Hope that Helps!

Hi! Were you offered admission in the second iteration?

Based on your score of 113 out of 300 in the BITS HD 2025 exam, admission to BITS Pilani for the M.Pharm. (Pharmacology) program presents a significant challenge, though it isn’t entirely out of reach. The feasibility of securing a seat will depend on the specific cutoff trends for the year and the number of available seats.

Here’s what’s relevant:

- In recent years, cutoffs for M.Pharm. and its specializations have typically fallen somewhere between 90 and 130 marks. That said, these numbers can shift depending on the applicant pool and other factors in a given cycle.

- BITS Pilani usually maintains higher cutoffs than its Hyderabad and Goa counterparts, particularly for competitive programs.

- The number of seats available for Pharmacology is limited, which increases the level of competition among applicants.

- If you are applying under the General category, your chances may be somewhat lower compared to those who fall under reserved categories, depending on the year’s reservation policies.

Recommended actions:

- Wait for the official cutoff and merit lists, which BITS Pilani will release during the counseling process. This will provide a clearer picture of your standing.

- Prepare alternative plans in case the cutoff for Pilani exceeds your score.

- Consider BITS Hyderabad as an option, as this campus may have slightly lower cutoffs for the same program.

For the most up-to-date information, regularly check the official BITS HD admission portal and monitor round-wise cutoff announcements.

Hello there,

With a score of 120 out of 300 in the BITS HD entrance exam for M.Pharm, you have a good chance of getting admission into BITS Hyderabad.

Based on previous year trends:

• The typical cutoff for M.Pharm at BITS through the HD test has been around 90 to 100 marks.

• Your score of 120 is above the usual range, so it strengthens your chances of admission.

• 50% of the seats are filled through GPAT scores and the remaining 50% through the BITS HD exam.

• If any seats remain vacant under one category, they may be converted to the other.

Suggestions:

• Keep checking the official BITS admission portal for updates on seat allotment and further procedures.

• Be ready with your documents and counseling preferences once the selection process begins.

• Also consider applying to BITS Pilani or Goa campuses if interested, as they may have varying cutoff trends.

Your current score is competitive, and you are likely to secure admission if previous year cutoffs are similar.

If you are wanting to apply to B.Pharmacy at BITS Pilani, then it is not suitable to use the regular merit for your percentage of 71.6% in CBSE Class 12 (2025) since BITS gives importance to BITSAT scores and does not have a look at board marks for admission. But to apply for B.Pharmacy at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad, or Goa, the BITSAT exam is the only deciding criteria, and your percentage does come into play for determining eligibility. You need 75% in the PCM / PCB group and you need at least a 60% in each subject for your BITSAT eligibility.

Now, since your overall is road mapped to 71.6% you would need the eligibility requirement for subject counts and you would also need a good score in BITSAT for a chance. It is suggested that you appear for the examination and target towards a competitive score.
