BITSAT 2026 counselling requires students to submit academic certificates, photo ID, and category-specific documents to complete fee deposit and seat acceptance at BITS Pilani campuses in Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad.
After BITSAT 2026 results are declared, BITS Pilani conducts multiple fee deposit (FD) iterations for seat allotment. Students who receive an allotment must first pay a non-refundable registration fee of Rs 1,000 and then pay the seat acceptance fee within the deadline on the official admissions portal. Having all documents ready before the portal opens prevents last-minute issues and seat cancellation.
- Fee deposit is done entirely online at admissions.bits-pilani.ac.in — no offline process is available.
- A non-refundable Rs 1,000 registration fee must be paid before participating in allotment rounds.
- Seat acceptance fee must be paid within the iteration deadline; missing it means losing the allotted seat.
- All documents must match details entered in the BITSAT 2026 application form exactly.
- Physical document verification takes place when students report to the allotted BITS campus.

BITSAT 2026 Counselling Process Overview
BITS Pilani releases the merit list and seat allotment through multiple fee deposit iterations after BITSAT 2026 results. Students must first pay the registration fee, then wait for seat allotment, and then pay the seat acceptance fee within the announced deadline to confirm their seat. The entire process is conducted online — students do not need to visit the campus until the final reporting date.
| Step | Activity |
|---|---|
| 1 | Pay Rs 1,000 non-refundable registration fee on the official portal |
| 2 | Fill campus and programme preferences in order of priority |
| 3 | Receive seat allotment notification for FD Iteration 1, 2, or 3 |
| 4 | Accept allotted seat and pay seat acceptance fee within the iteration deadline |
| 5 | Report to the allotted BITS campus on the specified date with original documents |
Payment on the portal can be made via PayU Money, Paytm, or Razorpay. Save the payment confirmation receipt immediately after every transaction — it is required both as proof of fee deposit and for campus reporting.
Documents Required for BITSAT 2026 Fee Deposit and Seat Acceptance

Category-wise Documents for BITSAT 2026 Admission
BITS Pilani does not follow SC, ST, or OBC reservation in BITSAT counselling. Admission is entirely merit-based on the BITSAT 2026 score. Students under the PWD category and NRI or foreign nationals must submit additional documents as listed below.
| Category | Additional Documents Required |
|---|---|
| General (Indian national) | No additional category certificate required |
| Person with Disability (PWD) | Disability certificate from a government-recognised medical authority confirming at least 40% disability, issued as per Government of India guidelines |
| NRI or Foreign National | Passport, OCI or PIO card (if applicable), academic transcripts, proof of nationality, and recommendation letters if required by the programme |
| BITS Alumni Children (if applicable) | Parent’s BITS degree certificate and proof of alumni membership as declared at the time of BITSAT 2026 application |
PWD students must carry the original disability certificate at the time of campus reporting. Certificates that predate the BITSAT 2026 application and do not reflect the current status of disability may not be accepted. Verify the certificate validity with the BITS Pilani admissions office before the reporting date.

Tips for BITSAT 2026 Document Submission
Keep the following points in mind to avoid rejection or delay during the BITSAT 2026 fee deposit and campus document verification:
- Name and date of birth must match exactly across all documents and the BITSAT 2026 application form. Even a minor spelling discrepancy requires a notarised affidavit to resolve.
- Carry at least two sets of self-attested photocopies of every document in addition to the originals for campus reporting.
- Seat acceptance fee is non-refundable — confirm your programme and campus preference before clicking to accept the seat.
- Students who receive an upgraded allotment in a later iteration must complete the seat acceptance fee payment again for the new seat.
- Passport size photographs must have a plain white background and show a clear frontal face. Informal mobile selfies are not accepted.
- The medical fitness certificate must be on the letterhead of a registered medical practitioner and should not be dated more than six months before your campus reporting date.
- Keep digital copies of all documents accessible on your phone or email so you can refer to them quickly during the online portal session.
BITSAT 2026 Counselling Documents FAQs
Ques. What documents are needed for BITSAT 2026 fee deposit and seat acceptance?
Ans. You need your BITSAT 2026 scorecard and admission letter, Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets and certificates, transfer and migration certificate, valid photo ID (Aadhaar or passport), recent passport size photographs, online fee payment receipts, an anti-ragging undertaking, and a medical fitness certificate. Physical verification of original documents takes place when you report to the allotted BITS campus.
Ques. Is there SC/ST/OBC reservation in BITSAT 2026 counselling?
Ans. No, BITS Pilani does not offer SC, ST, or OBC reservation in BITSAT admissions. Seats are allotted entirely on the basis of BITSAT 2026 merit score. Only PWD students receive a horizontal reservation and must submit a valid disability certificate from a government-recognised medical authority.
Ques. How much is the BITSAT 2026 seat acceptance fee?
Ans. A non-refundable registration fee of Rs 1,000 is required before participating in fee deposit rounds. The seat acceptance fee is charged separately at the time of allotment; based on previous years, this fee has typically been in the range of Rs 50,000 to Rs 1,00,000. The exact BITSAT 2026 seat acceptance fee will be confirmed on the official admissions portal at the time of allotment.
Ques. Can I upgrade my seat after paying the BITSAT 2026 seat acceptance fee?
Ans. Yes, you may be eligible to receive a better allotment in subsequent FD iterations based on your preferences and merit rank. If you accept an upgraded seat, you must pay the seat acceptance fee again for the new allotment. The details of any fee adjustment between iterations are specified on the official admissions portal for each round.
Ques. What if my name on documents does not match my BITSAT 2026 application?
Ans. For minor spelling differences, prepare a notarised affidavit declaring the name variation before attending document verification or reporting to campus. For major discrepancies such as a completely different name, a gazette notification may be required. Contact the BITS Pilani admissions helpdesk before the fee deposit deadline to clarify the exact process.
Ques. Is the Class 12 marksheet needed at the time of online fee deposit for BITSAT 2026?
Ans. The online fee deposit process primarily requires your login credentials and fee payment. Class 12 marksheets and other academic documents are verified physically when you report to the allotted BITS campus. If a specific iteration requires document uploads on the portal, the admissions portal will prompt you — keep scanned copies ready in advance to avoid delays.
