The BITS Pilani cutoff for 2026 is expected to stay in a similar range as last year for most branches, with Computer Science once again projected to be the toughest to crack. Based on how BITSAT difficulty and applicant numbers have moved over the last three admission cycles, the CSE cutoff at BITS Pilani, Rajasthan is likely to settle somewhere between 315 and 335 marks out of 390, broadly in line with the 304 mark cutoff seen in 2025.
Branches like Mechanical, Civil, and Chemical Engineering are expected to move only marginally, while newer programs such as Environment and Sustainability Engineering could see a slight uptick in demand as more students become aware of the branch's placement record.

BITS Pilani Cutoff 2026 (Expected)
Going by the pattern of the last three years, admission to B.Tech from BITS Pilani in Computer Science is expected to demand a score of roughly 320–335, keeping it firmly the most competitive program on the Rajasthan campus. Electronics & Communication Engineering and Mathematics & Computing are expected to trail CSE by a small margin, generally staying in the 295–315 band.
On the other end of the spectrum, the BITS Pilani Mechanical cutoff is expected to stay in a moderate 260–275 range. Newer, lower-demand programs like the BITS Environment and Sustainability Engineering cutoff are expected to remain the most accessible among B.E. branches, likely falling between 210 and 225 marks.
Since BITS Pilani, Rajasthan is generally viewed as the flagship campus among the three BITS locations (Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad), cutoffs here tend to run a few marks higher than the same branch at the other two campuses. Below is the expected branch-wise cutoff table for BITS Pilani 2026:
| Program | Expected Cutoff Range (2026) |
| B.E. Computer Science (CSE) | 320 – 335 |
| B.E. Electronics & Communication (ECE) | 295 – 310 |
| B.E. Electrical & Electronics (EEE) | 280 – 295 |
| B.E. Mathematics & Computing | 300 – 315 |
| B.E. Mechanical Engineering | 260 – 275 |
| B.E. Electronics & Instrumentation | 260 – 275 |
| B.E. Chemical Engineering | 240 – 255 |
| B.E. Civil Engineering | 230 – 245 |
| B.E. Environment and Sustainability Engineering | 210 – 225 |
| B.E. Manufacturing Engineering | 215 – 230 |
| B.Pharm | 180 – 200 |
| M.Sc. Economics | 260 – 275 |
| M.Sc. Semiconductor & Nanoscience | 240 – 255 |
| M.Sc. Mathematics | 235 – 250 |
| M.Sc. Physics | 230 – 245 |
| M.Sc. Chemistry | 230 – 245 |
| M.Sc. Biological Sciences | 230 – 245 |
Can I get BITS Pilani with 200 marks out of 390?
A score of around 200 in BITSAT typically corresponds to an all-India rank between roughly 25,000 and 30,000, though this varies a little every year based on paper difficulty. At that rank, securing a seat in CSE, ECE, or EEE at the Rajasthan campus is unlikely, but admission to programs like B.Pharm, Manufacturing, or Environment and Sustainability Engineering or an M.Sc. program, remains realistic.
BITS Pilani Cutoff 2025
The confirmed BITS Pilani cutoff for 2025 showed a noticeable dip compared to 2024 across almost every branch, largely because that year's BITSAT paper was reported to be tougher, which pulled overall scores down. CSE still topped the chart at 304 marks, but this was down from 327 the previous year. The BITS Pilani Mechanical cutoff settled at 235 marks in 2025, a drop of roughly 31 marks from 2024, while EEE closed at 260 marks.
Civil Engineering and Manufacturing, typically the more accessible B.E. branches, closed at 206 and 211 marks respectively, and the Environment and Sustainability Engineering program, offered for the first time as a standalone cutoff category in 2025, closed at 203 marks.
| Program | Cutoff Score (2025) |
| B.E. Computer Science | 304 |
| B.E. Mathematics and Computing | 295 |
| B.E. Electronics & Communication | 285 |
| B.E. Electrical & Electronics | 260 |
| B.E. Electronics & Instrumentation | 250 |
| B.E. Mechanical | 235 |
| B.E. Chemical | 210 |
| B.E. Civil | 206 |
| B.E. Manufacturing | 211 |
| B.E. Environment and Sustainability | 203 |
| B.Pharm | 168 |
| M.Sc. Economics | 251 |
| M.Sc. Mathematics | 229 |
| M.Sc. Semiconductor and Nanoscience | 239 |
| M.Sc. Physics | 223 |
| M.Sc. Chemistry | 212 |
| M.Sc. Biological Sciences | 208 |
Please note that BITS Pilani does not release round-by-round cutoffs while counseling is still active. Official campus-wise and branch-wise cutoff scores for BITS Pilani, Rajasthan are published on the official admission portal, bitsadmission.com, only once every counseling iteration has fully concluded. Until then, individual candidates can only track their own seat allotment status, waitlist rank, or campus-upgrade options by logging into their personal application account.
BITS Pilani MBA cutoff
The BITS Pilani MBA cutoff is based on a competitive percentile score in CAT, XAT, or GMAT, typically in the 75–80+ percentile range, or a strong score in BITS's own BAAT exam, followed by a Group Discussion and Personal Interview round before a final offer is made.
BITS Pilani Cutoff for CSE
At the BITS Pilani Rajasthan campus, the CSE cutoff peaked at 331 marks in 2023, eased slightly to 327 in 2024, and then dropped more sharply to 304 in 2025 as the exam got harder. For 2026, the BITS Pilani CSE cutoff is expected to land somewhere in the 320–335 range, which would put it back closer to 2023–24 levels if BITSAT difficulty normalizes. Students aiming for B.Tech from BITS Pilani in CSE should treat anything above 330 as a safe score, while a score in the 300–320 band still leaves a reasonable space.
BITS Pilani Cutoff Trends
Looking at the three-year movement across branches gives a clearer picture than any single year's number. CSE has stayed the most in-demand branch throughout, though its cutoff fell from 331 in 2023 to 304 in 2025. The BITS Pilani Mechanical cutoff followed the same pattern, rising from 244 in 2023 to 266 in 2024, before falling back to 235 in 2025. ECE, EEE, and Mathematics & Computing all peaked in 2024 and eased off in 2025. B.Pharm was the rare exception, actually climbing slightly year-on-year, from 153 in 2023 to 168 in 2025.

BITS Pilani Cutoff FAQs
What is the BITS Pilani cutoff 2026?
The BITS Pilani cutoff 2026 will only be confirmed after BITSAT concludes and counseling finishes, but based on past trends it is expected to fall between 320–335 marks for CSE and lower for other branches, as shown in the table above.
What is the cut-off of BITS Pilani?
The cut-off depends entirely on the program. Top branches like Computer Science usually close around 300–330 marks, mid-range branches like Mechanical settle near 230–270 marks, and lower-demand programs plus M.Sc. courses fall in the 170–220 marks range.
Is BITS Pilani tougher than IIT?
BITS Pilani is academically rigorous with strict grading and no attendance relaxation, but it isn't tougher to get into than an IIT. IITs use the more competitive JEE Advanced process, while BITS Pilani relies on BITSAT scores.
Is 217 a good score in BITSAT?
A 217 score is average to decent. It may be enough for an M.Sc. program or a lower-demand B.E. branch, particularly at the Goa or Hyderabad campuses, but top engineering branches at the Rajasthan campus are unlikely at this score.
What is the BITS Pilani Mechanical cutoff expected to be in 2026?
The BITS Pilani Mechanical cutoff for 2026 is expected to be in the 260–275 marks range, roughly in line with where it has hovered over the past two years.
What is the cut off for MBA in BITS Pilani?
The BITS Pilani MBA cutoff isn't a straightforward marks-based number. Shortlisting for the MBA in Business Analytics requires a competitive CAT, XAT, or GMAT percentile (typically 75–80+) or a strong BAAT score, followed by a GD-PI round.
What is the BITS Environment and Sustainability Engineering cutoff?
The BITS Environment and Sustainability Engineering cutoff closed at 203 marks in 2025, its first year as a separate category, and is expected to move slightly higher to around 210–225 marks in 2026.
Which BITS Pilani branch has the lowest cutoff?
B.Pharm has consistently had the lowest cutoff among B.E./B.Pharm programs at BITS Pilani, closing at 168 marks in 2025, and is expected to stay in the 180–200 range for 2026.
