BITS Pilani announces tuition-blind admissions for top 500 BITSAT rankers
BITS Pilani will offer tuition-blind admissions to the top 500 BITSAT rankers from 2026–27. Eligible students with family income up to ₹20 lakh will receive a full tuition scholarship for four years, provided they maintain a minimum 7.5 CGPA.
Hyderabad: Starting in AY 2026–27, BITS Pilani, an institution of eminence, will introduce tuition-blind admissions for the top 500 BITSAT rankers. Accordingly, eligible candidates with an annual family income of up to Rs 20 lakh will receive a full tuition scholarship for all four years, subject to maintaining a minimum CGPA of 7.5 at their respective campuses.
This is not a scholarship that students must apply for after joining; rather, it is an assurance built into the admission offer, ensuring that top performers can choose BITS based on aspiration and opportunity, not affordability.
This initiative is enabled by growing alumni support and sustained institutional investment. Over the coming years, BITS intends to expand this coverage progressively, with the long-term goal of moving towards tuition blind admissions for all. Prof. V. Ramgopal Rao, Group Vice Chancellor, BITS Pilani, said, “If you have the talent, money should not come in the way.”
Further details will be available on the official BITS Pilani admissions portal at https://admissions.bits-pilani.ac.in/
