Hi Sahil, thanks for asking your query.

12th marks are required for eligibility purpose only. Admissions will be made purely on merit. The merit position of the candidate for admission will be based on the score obtained by the candidate in the BITSAT-2019.

Hello Sahil,

Specifically for CSE, there's no such role of 12th marks.Other than the eligibility criteria, that is to secure a minimum of 75% in 12th boards , 12th boards marks play a role only in case there's a tie between two student's BITSAT score . You will be allocated a seat on the basis of your BITSAT score only, in accordance to your preference list.

When two candidates score the same in BITSAT,  priority is given to the candidate

A. On the basis of BITSAT score in individual subjects, with priority  in the following order:

1. Mathematics

2.Physics

3. Chemistry

B. On the basis of 12th boards :

If all the individual score in BITSAT are same, then their 12th marks are compared, and priority is given to the one with hogher percentage in 12th boards.
