Step-by-Step Campus Reporting Process
The campus reporting process follows a fixed sequence. You move from one desk to the next as each formality is completed. The entire process takes a full day, so arrive early in the morning. Here are the 8 steps in the order you will encounter them.
- Report to the Registration Desk: Arrive at your allotted campus and present your Seat Allotment Letter and Admit Card at the designated registration counter. Staff record your arrival and issue a reporting slip.
- Document Verification: Officials check every original document against your application records. They retain one set of self-attested photocopies. Resolve any discrepancies in name or date of birth immediately with supporting documents.
- Biometric Registration: Your fingerprints and photograph are captured digitally. This data is linked to your student ID and used for campus access, exam entry and library services throughout your programme.
- Medical Examination: Proceed to the campus health centre for a compulsory physical examination. This step is mandatory for all admitted students and cannot be skipped.
- Course Registration on BITS ERP: Log in to the BITS ERP portal and register for your first-semester courses. Academic advisors are available on site to assist with course selection and credit requirements.
- Fee Payment for Remaining Dues: If any tuition, hostel or other dues remain unpaid after seat acceptance, settle them at the finance counter on reporting day.
- Hostel Allotment: Receive your hostel block and room number. You can move in on reporting day itself or the following morning depending on your campus.
- Student ID Card Collection: Your identity card is printed and issued at the final counter. This card is mandatory for all campus activities, library access and internal assessments.
Keep all your documents accessible throughout the day as different counters may ask for the same papers. Carry a folder to organise originals and copies separately.
