BITSAT 2027 Eligibility Criteria for Board Toppers

Board toppers can get direct admission to BITS Campuses without a BITSAT score if they are the first-rank holder of their Class 12 board, with at least 75% aggregate in PCM or PCB and at least 60% in each subject.

• Toppers must have taken Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology subjects in the 12th class examination
• First-rank holders of all central and state boards with PCM subjects can get admission to any first-degree programme without appearing for BITSAT 2027.
• PCB toppers in boards can get direct admission to B.Pharm, B.E. Environmental and Sustainability Engineering, and M.Sc. Biological Sciences courses only.
• If a board declares more than one first-rank holder, BITS admits a maximum of 4 students from that board, and a tie-break order applies beyond that.

• Only the first-rank holder of a board qualifies, and a high percentage alone is not enough.
• bitsadmission.com is the only official admissions website, and BITS warns students against calls and messages offering "direct admission".
• BITSAT 2027 registration is expected in December 2026, so all 2027 details are provisional.

2. If a tie still persists, then Class 12 Physics marks will be checked
3. If a tie still persists, then Class 12 Chemistry marks will be checked
4. If a tie still persists, then Class 10 Mathematics marks will be checked
5. If a tie still persists, then Class 10 Science marks will be checked
6. If the tie remains, the admission committee may add criteria, including a written test.

How to Apply as a Board Topper

Board toppers apply through a separate registration on the official BITS admissions website after the Class 12 results. The 2025 deadline was 30 June, and the 2026 round was reported with the same deadline, so expect a similar window in 2027, which is an estimate and not a confirmed date.

• Open bitsadmission.com and find the board topper admission registration.
• Fill in your personal, academic, and programme preference details.
• Upload your Class 12 marksheet, board topper certificate or letter, ID proof, and photographs.
• Pay the application fee and submit the form.
• BITS verifies your rank with the board and contacts you by call or email if you qualify.

Do not trust unofficial offers. The official BITS page names www.bitsadmission.com as the only official admissions website and warns against fraudulent calls, emails and messages offering direct admission.
