Academic Documents: What to Carry and Why
Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets are the most critical academic documents for BITSAT 2026 campus reporting. BITS Pilani officials verify your board scores on the spot to confirm you meet the minimum eligibility — 75% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and at least 60% in each individual subject. Any discrepancy between the scores uploaded during application and the original marksheet can result in admission cancellation.
The Transfer Certificate is submitted permanently to the campus office on reporting day. Do not carry a duplicate TC in place of the original. If your board has not yet issued the final Class 12 marksheet at the time of reporting, carry the provisional marksheet together with a letter from the school confirming your results while the original is pending.
Category-Specific Documents for SC, ST, OBC and PwD Students
Students belonging to reserved categories must carry their original caste or disability certificate along with one self-attested photocopy. The certificate must be issued by a competent authority — at or above the rank of Tehsildar for SC and ST students, and by a government-prescribed authority for OBC-NCL and PwD students.
| Category | Document Required | Issuing Authority |
|---|---|---|
| SC (Scheduled Caste) | SC Caste Certificate | Tehsildar or District Magistrate |
| ST (Scheduled Tribe) | ST Tribe Certificate | Tehsildar or District Magistrate |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | OBC-NCL Certificate | Competent authority; must be valid for the year 2026-27 |
| PwD (Persons with Disability) | Disability Certificate | Government Medical Board or Civil Surgeon |
OBC-NCL certificates older than one year may not be accepted because they could have lapsed. Students should renew their OBC-NCL certificate well before the campus reporting date to avoid any issue at the admission desk.
Fee Deposit Requirements for BITSAT 2026
Students must pay the initial admission fee before or at the time of campus reporting. Payment can be made online via the BITS admissions portal or by Demand Draft (DD). The online payment link is typically activated on the portal around 10 days before the reporting date. Students who prefer a DD must ensure it is drawn in favour of "BITS Pilani" and payable at the ICICI Bank branch of the respective campus.
- Initial semester fee must be cleared before or on the reporting date.
- Additional charges for hostel deposit, mess advance, electricity advance and Students’ Union Fee are collected separately on reporting day.
- Students paying online must carry a printout of the payment confirmation receipt.
- Students paying by DD must ensure the amount and branch are correct for their allotted campus (Pilani, Goa or Hyderabad).
The exact fee amounts for 2026-27 are published on the BITS Pilani admissions portal at admissions.bits-pilani.ac.in and are updated each academic year.
Important Instructions Before Reporting to Campus
Follow these steps to make the document submission and admission process smooth on reporting day.
- Arrange documents in order — academic certificates first, followed by admission documents, identity proof and photographs. A clear file or folder for each category speeds up submission.
- Self-attest every photocopy — sign on the photocopy, write "Self-Attested" and add the date. Officials will reject uncertified copies.
- Do not courier documents in advance — BITS Pilani requires physical presence for biometric registration, so all documents must be carried in person.
- Arrive early on July 30, 2026 — the reporting window at all campuses opens at 9:00 AM. Reaching early helps you avoid long queues at the admission counter.
- Keep digital scans on your phone — a backup scan of each document is useful if a copy needs to be reprinted on the spot.
- Check campus-specific reporting instructions — BITS Pilani, BITS Goa and BITS Hyderabad may differ in counter locations, DD payable branches and hostel allotment procedures. Confirm the latest instructions on the official admissions portal before you travel.
