BITS Pilani CSE Year-Wise BITSAT Closing Scores (2022–2025)

The table below shows the final BITSAT closing scores for B.E. Computer Science at the BITS Pilani campus across four recent admissions cycles, based on official cutoff data released by BITS Pilani after each cycle concluded.

Year BITS Pilani CSE – Final Closing Score (out of 390) Year-on-Year Change
2025 304 –23 marks (significant drop)
2024 327 –4 marks
2023 331 +11 marks
2022 320 Baseline

Key observation: The 2025 final cutoff saw a sharp drop of 23 marks from 2024, the largest single-year movement in recent history.

Expected BITSAT 2026 Cutoff for BITS Pilani CSE – Iteration 2

Based on 2022–2025 official closing scores, the expected Iteration 2 closing score for BITS Pilani CSE in 2026 is 305–335 out of 390. The range is deliberately wide to reflect the significant year-to-year variability observed in historical data — particularly the 23-mark swing between 2024 and 2025. All figures below are expected projections based on prior trends and will be replaced by the official figure on July 6, 2026.

Scenario Expected Iteration 2 Closing Score (out of 390) Basis
Lower competition (2025-like) 305–315 Conditions similar to 2025 when the cutoff dropped by 23 marks
Moderate (2022–2024 average) 316–328 Year-on-year trend consistent with 2022–2024 closing scores
Higher competition 329–335 Reversion to 2023-peak levels with a stronger pool of high scorers

Key factors that will determine where the 2026 cutoff lands include exam difficulty across test sessions, any change in CSE seat intake at the Pilani campus, and the proportion of Iteration 1 allottees who decline their offers. A higher share of Iteration 1 declines creates additional seats for Iteration 2 and can ease the closing score by a few marks relative to the moderate scenario.
