A score of 150 marks in BITSAT 2026 is a borderline score for B.Pharm at BITS Hyderabad — where the 2024 closing cutoff was 135 — but falls well below the cutoff for every B.E. and M.Sc. program at all three BITS campuses.
BITSAT 2026 is conducted for a total of 390 marks, and 150 marks represents approximately 38.5% of the maximum. For engineering programs at BITS Pilani, BITS Goa, or BITS Hyderabad, this score is far outside the range. However, B.Pharm — especially at BITS Hyderabad — has historically closed between 109 and 153, making it the one program worth tracking closely if you are at this score level.
- BITSAT 2026 total marks: 390; 150 marks = approximately 38.5% of total
- Expected merit position for 150 marks: approximately 50,000–65,000, based on 2025 score trends
- B.Pharm at BITS Hyderabad: closed at 135 in 2024 — 150 is comfortably above that threshold
- B.Pharm at BITS Pilani: closed at 153 in 2024 — 150 is marginally below
- B.Pharm at BITS Goa: closed at approximately 165 in 2024 — 15 marks above 150
- All B.E. programs across every campus require 240+ marks at minimum — out of reach at 150
- BITSAT 2026 expected B.Pharm cutoff at BITS Hyderabad: approximately 140–160 marks

What 150 Marks Means in BITSAT 2026
BITSAT 2026 has a maximum of 390 marks across 130 questions spanning Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Biology, English, and Logical Reasoning. Each correct answer earns 3 marks and each wrong answer deducts 1 mark. A score of 150 typically results from attempting 80–100 questions with mixed accuracy after deductions. Here is how 150 sits relative to the full BITSAT score distribution:
| Score Band (out of 390) | Approximate Percentile | Admission Outlook |
|---|---|---|
| 330–390 | 99–100 | Top B.E. programs at all campuses |
| 280–329 | 96–98 | Most B.E. programs at Goa and Hyderabad |
| 240–279 | 90–95 | Lower-demand B.E. and B.Pharm at Pilani |
| 165–239 | 70–89 | B.Pharm at Goa and Hyderabad in most years |
| 135–164 | 50–69 | Borderline for B.Pharm at BITS Hyderabad only |
| Below 135 | Below 50 | Below all known BITS cutoffs in recent years |
Expected Rank for 150 Marks in BITSAT 2026
BITSAT does not publish a formal rank list the way JEE Main does. Admissions proceed through an iteration-based merit process using BITSAT scores directly. Based on 2024 and 2025 score trends, 150 marks in BITSAT 2026 is expected to correspond to an approximate merit position of 50,000 to 65,000 among all appearing students.
With a combined seat intake of approximately 2,700 to 2,800 seats across BITS Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad, a position of 50,000+ falls entirely outside the general B.E. admission window. The only programs where this range has historically produced a seat are B.Pharm offerings, particularly at BITS Hyderabad.
| Score (out of 390) | Approximate Merit Position | Program Availability |
|---|---|---|
| 330+ | Top 3,000 | All B.E. programs, all campuses |
| 280–329 | 3,000–12,000 | B.E. at Goa and Hyderabad; select Pilani programs |
| 240–279 | 12,000–30,000 | Lower-demand B.E., B.Pharm at Pilani and Goa |
| 165–239 | 30,000–50,000 | B.Pharm at Goa and Hyderabad (year-dependent) |
| 135–164 | 50,000–65,000 | Borderline: B.Pharm at BITS Hyderabad |
BITS Pilani: Admission Chances with 150 Marks
BITS Pilani is the flagship campus and has the highest cutoffs across all programs. Even the lowest-demand B.E. branch at Pilani — Chemical Engineering — closed well above 290 marks in 2024, putting every engineering program here completely out of range at 150.
For B.Pharm at BITS Pilani, the 2024 closing score was approximately 153 marks — just 3 marks above a score of 150. In earlier years it ranged as high as 203 (2020), and the general trend shows a gradual decline. The 2026 expected cutoff for B.Pharm Pilani is around 155–170 marks, which keeps 150 marginally below the likely closing threshold.
| Program | Approximate 2024 Closing Score | Gap from 150 Marks |
|---|---|---|
| B.E. Computer Science | ~340+ | –190+ |
| B.E. Electronics and Communication | ~325–330 | –175 to –180 |
| B.E. Mechanical Engineering | ~295–310 | –145 to –160 |
| B.E. Chemical Engineering | ~290–300 | –140 to –150 |
| B.Pharm | ~153 | –3 (marginally below) |
Closing scores are based on 2024 BITSAT iteration data and serve as expected 2026 baselines.
BITS Goa: Admission Chances with 150 Marks
BITS Goa records lower cutoffs than Pilani but higher than Hyderabad. B.E. programs at BITS Goa closed at or above 250 marks even for the least competitive branches in 2024, keeping all engineering seats well beyond the 150-mark range.
B.Pharm at BITS Goa closed at approximately 165 marks in 2024, around 15 marks above 150. In 2022 it was 172 and in 2021 it was 189 — showing a declining trend — but 150 has not yet matched the BITS Goa B.Pharm cutoff in any recent year. The 2026 expected cutoff for B.Pharm Goa is around 160–175 marks.
| Program | Approximate 2024 Closing Score | Gap from 150 Marks |
|---|---|---|
| B.E. Computer Science | ~305–320 | –155 to –170 |
| B.E. Electronics and Communication | ~280–300 | –130 to –150 |
| B.E. Mechanical Engineering | ~258–275 | –108 to –125 |
| B.E. Chemical Engineering | ~252–265 | –102 to –115 |
| B.Pharm | ~165 | –15 |
Figures are based on 2024 BITSAT data and serve as expected 2026 baselines. Actual cutoffs may vary.
BITS Hyderabad: Admission Chances with 150 Marks
BITS Hyderabad is the only BITS campus where 150 marks places you above the recent historical closing score for any program. B.Pharm at BITS Hyderabad closed at 135 marks in both 2023 and 2024 — 15 marks below a score of 150.
However, cutoffs shift each year based on exam difficulty and the applicant pool size. The expected 2026 B.Pharm cutoff at BITS Hyderabad is around 140–160 marks, making 150 a genuine borderline score — secure in an easier exam year, at risk in a tougher one. Every mark above 150 meaningfully improves your probability here.
| Program | Approximate 2024 Closing Score | Gap from 150 Marks |
|---|---|---|
| B.E. Computer Science | ~298–310 | –148 to –160 |
| B.E. Electronics and Communication | ~270–290 | –120 to –140 |
| B.E. Mechanical Engineering | ~250–268 | –100 to –118 |
| B.E. Chemical Engineering | ~245–260 | –95 to –110 |
| B.Pharm | 135 | +15 (above the 2024 cutoff) |
2024 B.Pharm closing score at BITS Hyderabad was 135. The 2026 expected range is 140–160 marks based on recent trends.
Historical B.Pharm Cutoff Trends Across Campuses
B.Pharm is the lowest-demand program in BITSAT and the only realistic pathway for students in the 135–175 score range. Tracking the year-wise trend helps you assess whether 150 is likely to hold or fall short in 2026:
| Academic Year | BITS Pilani B.Pharm | BITS Goa B.Pharm | BITS Hyderabad B.Pharm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024–25 | 153 | ~165 | 135 |
| 2023–24 | 153 | ~165 | 135 |
| 2022–23 | ~170 | 172 | 109 |
| 2021–22 | ~185 | 189 | ~120 |
| 2020–21 | 203 | ~195 | ~140 |
| 2026 (Expected) | ~155–170 | ~160–175 | ~140–160 |
Historical figures sourced from official BITS admissions records. 2026 figures are expected based on trends from 2020 to 2025.
The data shows B.Pharm cutoffs at all three campuses have broadly declined from 2020 to 2024. At BITS Hyderabad, the cutoff has remained below 150 for multiple consecutive years, giving a student scoring 150 a reasonable probability of securing B.Pharm at BITS Hyderabad in 2026 — though not a certainty.
What to Do After Scoring 150 in BITSAT 2026
If you scored 150 in BITSAT 2026, your primary BITS path is B.Pharm at BITS Hyderabad. Here are the concrete steps to take right now:
- Register on the BITS Admissions portal (bitsadmission.com) and fill your program preferences. Place B.Pharm Hyderabad as your top choice if a pharmacy degree fits your goals.
- Track each iteration’s cutoff as BITS publishes them. If the B.Pharm Hyderabad closing score stays at or below 150 in Iteration 1, your seat is likely secure in later rounds.
- Use your JEE Main 2026 score — if you appeared alongside BITSAT, JoSAA counselling opens access to NIT, IIIT, and GFTI seats across India on a separate merit list.
- Explore state-level CETs — MHT CET, KCET, AP EAMCET, and TS EAMCET provide separate pathways to strong state engineering colleges with their own cutoffs and reservation benefits.
- Consider private university entrance tests — VIT, Manipal, SRM, and Amrita run admission independently of BITSAT, with their own score criteria.
- Plan a BITSAT 2027 attempt targeting 270+ marks — a focused 12-month strategy improving accuracy in PCM subjects would open B.E. programs at BITS Hyderabad and Goa. Moving from 150 to 200 alone shifts your estimated merit position by over 30,000 places.
BITSAT 2026 150 Marks FAQs
